A person's palm is a mirror of his inner thoughts and orientations. It reveals about person's past life, present status and future directions. But not many people are true experts of this art. It is a correlational science where every single mark on the palm has some or other meaning. But only a few learned individuals can truly predict and interpret the meaning of those mysterious markers and lines.
Often a question is raised whether palmistry is science or an art. Some even questions its authenticity like is it fake or a real thing? And some intelligent beings believe in creating their own future instead of being curious to them about it? This article discusses each of these questions to help people who wish to know the real nature of palmistry.
Firstly, whether it is science or an art. For this, we need to understand how lines are formed on our hand in the first place. Those who are a disciple of science would know about the concept of Corona Discharge in the electromagnetic physics. According to this concept, any charged body when brought into contact with ionizing particles of a fluid radiates electric signals. Further, the intensity of discharge of radiation would be highest at the sharp corners. Our human body is also a box of electric and magnetic signals. When it comes in contact with atmosphere then it also begins to discharge and the intensity of discharge is highest at the hand palm and the foot. When the charge radiates out, it leaves the imprint on the palm in the form of lines and markers. Therefore, in a way it is the representation of inner bodily energies on the palm. Now some of this energy gathers in our body as result of our daily actions. While some of it is the result of our past actions.
Humans thoughts are nothing but electro-magnetic signals of energy. Palm imprints are the result of radiation of these energies. Palm reading is only an empirical understanding of these markers and understanding and knowledge of their relations with our past, present, and the future. I say it empirical because the knowledge of relations and meanings of different markers have not come from heaven. Rather it is a result of compilation of large volume of observation and correlation work done by our ancient rishi munis. It is akin to the behavioral and observational research of social sciences where we identify patterns and meanings by crunching numbers. Unfortunately, most of the text is lost due to lack of preservation and foreign invasions. Therefore, palmistry is a kind of pseudoscience. It thrives on correlational research. It only tells you the direction but it does not accurately predict the future. It becomes an art when the observer is able to combine this with his knowledge of face reading, non-verbal cues, and astrology. Some people (nearly 0.001%) have some natural instinctive intuitional super powers due to which they are able to take palmistry into an altogether higher territory of prophecy, foretelling, and divination.
The loss of original texts answers the second question as well. With very less text around, we have very few genuine people who are able to tell something concrete and real. As an observation, nearly 98% are fake. These fake people survive and make their living on the anxiety, tension, and fear of uncertainty which is widespread among people. The rest 1.9% of them know a little bit of palmistry and use it for their purpose. Hardly 0.1% are the real knowledgeable people who need to be respected and acclaimed.
With so much fakeness and nuisance around, is it really worth spending time on such a subject? Should we not be focusing on creating our own future. Anyway, palmistry itself says that lines change every three seconds. Then why should we be investing time into this subject to satisfy our inner anxieties?
In my personal opinion, palmistry has a crippling effect on person's psyche. It is always better to start with a blank slate "tabula rasa" in mind. It makes you sick of your hand, prejudice your mind in a certain direction and put roadblocks between you and your soul. If one is fortunate enough to find a true teacher of palmistry then it makes sense to seek some advice as every one of us feels some or other kind of directionlessness at some or other stage of life. In those situations, a nudge, a little steering, and a conviction inducing prediction are good for our anxious soul. But mostly, it kills us with some fake predictions, negative directions, and does it best to shake our convictions. It handicaps our winning tendencies and turn us into a fatalistic being.
I have been suffering from an obsessive disorder of looking at my palm at least once in each hour for last 10 years. Sometimes I wish, I could get rid of this tendency. Once I even bought the gloves which doctors wear while doing surgery so that I won't be looking at my lines. But unfortunately, I failed in overcoming the obsessive compulsive behavior.
May god give me the necessary strength to overcome this depressing attitude of looking at my hand and give me the power to create my own future rather searching for signals in the hand.
