“C. S. had Right Words”

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) is undoubtedly most widely read and best known Christian author of Twentieth Century. Several years ago a movie entitled, Shadowlands, starring Anthony Hopkins was produced about life of Lewis. It’s now on video and well worth time for viewing. One thing remarkable about Lewis’ writing ability was his range. He could write books to stump most hardened agnostic, but he could also write children’s books (Chronicles of Narnia) that still circulate in market places.

When I was a young student at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, OK many years ago, I took a course in Lewis’ theology. It was at that time my taste for Lewis’ material developed. One of my favorite books is Mere Christianity. I want to highlight some lines in his book that are widely read by theology students everywhere. Lewis states: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is one thing we must not say. A man who is merely a man and said sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on level with man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. (Mere Christianity [New York: Touchstone, 1996] 56.)

Sceptical? Palm reading has been an intriguing; albeit illusive, ancient art and science. Sometimes thought of as an esoteric occupation, palm reading is not at all what it seems to be. Allow me to elaborate:

Aside from `soothsaying and fortune-telling,' Palm Reading prevails from dermatoglyphics. Dermatoglypics relates to friction ridge formations that appear on palms of hands and soles of feet.1

The International Institute of Hand Analysis explains how hands contain coded information relating to a person's character and life purpose.2 Other studies, as undertaken by Department of Psychology of Ohio State University suggest that hand analysis displays individual phenotypes which can become factors with regard to individual and sexual differences in aggression.3

Another study of dermatoglyphics reveals that `an excess of dermatoglyphic alterations may point to schizophrenia tendencies.4 Biologist and Researcher, Dr. John Manning found that length of fingers can provide information about hormone levels in ones body - thus, effectually allowing one to determine particular disease risk factors as well.5

Still hesitant? What exactly does an intuitive palm reader do? Much like that of a modern sage, an experienced intuitive palm reader can tell one about specific personality traits, disorders, and sometimes can even predict an individual's approximate lifespan.

Professional intuitive palm reader, Per Hogset did an extensive, psychic palm reading for me and results were simply astounding. Upon review of my palm prints, Per wrote a personalized and immensely detailed summary about me; and my life.

Instinctively wise beyond this realm, Per sent me following, in-depth `Ultimate Psychic Reading.' I have annotated his revealing report for further distinction:
