The driving force behind palmistry is to know everything, to know what is hidden, to know what will happen when, and how. Human beings want to know everything and by learning palmistry they are on the right path. Occult science can tell what is hidden and what is unexposed. And palmistry is one of the branches which are helping people for ages by telling them what they can do and how capable they are and what results they can get. The lines of the palm indicate the past the present and the future of the man. The palm is the mirror of our brain and mind. There are raised mounts of flesh on the palm which are known as mounts in palmistry. They indicate the activity of the various centers of our brain. The lines on the palm are the waves that indicate what goes on in our subconscious mind. The American palmist, Dr Eugene Scheimann has referred to many experiments of his times to say that the three main lines and the pattern on the skin of the palm are formed during the third and the fourth months of pregnancy. One can question ‘The mind starts functioning only when one is born, so how can these lines form at the time when one is in his mother’s womb? Now there are many answers according to Indian sages one takes birth according to his desires. And there is a time when the soul is in suspension, as it were. It is the time when the man is in the form of the fetus in his mother’s womb. It is the time when the body and less soul are accompanied by the mind. The other answer is according to modern science and does not believe in rebirth and states that the genes of one’s parents are responsible for his physical and mental makeup. The qualities of one’s forbears which lie dormant in the shape of genes are called instincts in psychology. We may believe in the theory of transmigration of souls, genes, or sub-consciousness, or not believe in any one of them. The fact remains that a child brings some qualities with him at birth. We have called the companion of the soul the mind; psychology calls it the subconscious. The desires which lie dormant in our subconscious mind are the building blocks of the future. These desires show themselves as lines on our palms. When we read the lines on our palm, we are trying to read the subconscious, because only a reading of the subconscious leads us to read the future. The lines on the palms are graphs of the mind, just like the ECG which represents graphically the movements of the heart. When a palmist tells about the past, present, and future, he merely reads the subconscious mind of the client. Palmistry is a science; just as new experiments are being conducted every day in various sciences, palmistry is also undergoing the same process. Man is not only a body of bones and muscles; he also has a soul and a mind, palmistry is a science that deals with a complex being, to help him find solutions to his problems.
