emotional type face reading is based on the ancient and mysterious book of changes. folkforms are the animal essence we embody. these tell a story
i've been studying the I ching for a decade. one such path led me to an esoteric use of the I ching, analytical face reading. in addition to the i ching, archetype in general have fascinated me greatly. so too does folklore and mythology, animal intelligence and behavior, symbols and signs and patterns in nature, psychology of microbes and architecture. how all of this comes together and influences us into our unique shape, our choices, our circumstances we didn't choose. it's how we live, the story of our face merely expresses all that we think an d do, and come from, and where we go.
i am interested in the ability to see this confluence by reading nothing more than someone's face. there are artistic uses of this, practical utility in understanding people, deeper insight into someone's life, the study and research into archetype and themes, why we relate to them, why we model ourselves after them, especially those found in shows and movies. everything humans do, involves a person, which means there's a face and that face can be read. no matter the walk of life, regardless even if its a cartoon character, a historical figure, tv actor, anyone with a face can be analyzed. and this analysis can even be measured with another face so that the compatibility of archetypes is explored.
fascinatingly, the more that people share their archetypes, understand new systems of seeing and reading, the more complex it becomes, the more viral the concept is. when everyone learns a new skill, that skill is taken to further reaches, creative approaches, novelty evolves the whole system. the old forms are given new skills. this process of self aware, intentional employment and classification, utilization and interaction of multiple competing systems is what i dub the archetype wars.
