I think I first started teaching when I was about 10. I mean that seriously. It just simply was something that came natural to me. And I’ve watched all my life through a career of being a teacher, and I was a teacher of many different environments, universities, public high schools in North America and private schools. I’ve seen the inside out of educational institutions. You can walk into a staff room of any educational institution and you can look around and you will see those who can and those who can’t. Those who can’t, it’s not because they don’t care or that they don’t love their profession or they don’t like the children or on and on and on and on. About 80% of teaching is art. And the rest of it is preparation, however that works. But it’s an art.

Reading a chart is not pure science. If it were a pure science, I already years ago would have had a computer program that pumped out your analysis. You can’t. It’s one of the things that interesting. Yes, you can get all the data. The talking bodygraph is a beautiful example of having all the information but not having a reading. Having all the information but having no synthesis, having all the information but having no perspective.

There are all kinds of people who can quote the information, but that’s not the point. We are a holistic illusion, if I can put it that way. We are the sum total of our formulas. And we have formulas that indicate what we are, and we have formulas that indicate what the not-self is. We have keynotes for everything. But to be able to use keynotes is not science; it’s art. And it takes practice and it takes time, because it is about the freedom that comes in the analysis of a bodygraph, the freedom that has to be there when one looks at it and explores it. Of course, this is not science.
