“Vocation as Reflected in the Hands”
By Dylan Warren-Davis
“God has placed signs in the hands of all the sons of men,
that all the sons of men may know His work.” Job 37:7
One of the most valuable ways a hand reading can help people is through providing vocational guidance. Having a job that creatively engages all your talents and abilities, that you fully enjoy is rare. So much work out there is not there for the person to enjoy, but merely to provide an employment so they can derive an income. Consequently work is seldom fulfilling and is endured simply to derive an income. The employer usually makes considerably more money out of the work that you do, than you are personally rewarded for. It is a soul destroying situation. Much of our educational structure is geared towards fitting in people to the demands of industry, rather than nurturing the talents that every individual has.
In readings throughout decades I have encountered many people who have earned fortunes from high powered jobs, yet remain bitterly unhappy with their lives and typically spend lavishly in order to trying to make their lives more enjoyable again. Worse still they have often lost their health from all stress of their work pressures and lifestyle. The demands of work mean relationships too are often placed under enormous strain and many break down acrimoniously. Consequently they are looking for work which provides more meaning in their lives.
Better to create work in tune with their temperament from which a person can derive an income and fulfilment. If they fully love and enjoy their work, it becomes almost effortless. Whatever the work focuses up upon is done well and attracts financial reward. Though more modest than a leveraged income, it nevertheless it provides opportunity for a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. A hand reading can reveal a huge amount of information that can enables people to find their calling in life.
A he**in addict once came to me for help. Raymond (not his real name) had been taking he**in for about 5 years. His father, who was a regular patient of my mother, asked me, “Whether I could help him with a hand reading?” I said that, “I could not promise that it would help him, but it may provide some guidance as to how to discover his potential, which in turn could help him make sense of his life and give him the opportunity to get his life back.”
So Raymond arrived at my door for a reading. He explained that he knew the he**in was doing him no good, but could not break the habit. In more lucid moments he became aware that he was wasting his life and felt that he should be doing something more constructive, but could not see what he should do. He also was aware of the emotional toll that his addiction was having on his family and friends, which he felt guilty about.
One of the themes that emerged out of the reading was emotional rejection and feeling unloved. His mother was an alcoholic which got progressively worse through his childhood. During adolescence his parents had divorced and his father was given custody of him. His father married again and tried his utmost to provide stability and security, but unfortunately Raymond did not get on with his step mother. As a teenager he largely dropped out of school and became easy prey to addiction, to numb his emotional pain.
The Water skin texture indicated to me that he needed an environment where he felt loved. I explained that as an adult it now up to him to create that, rather than blame his parents. I explained the best way to do that was to help people, and that vocationally the caring professions provided an opportunity to get that fulfilment and derive that reward. The rest of the reading revealed that he had a good capacity for study and that he should take it seriously. The structure of the hand suggested a number of options of what he could do professionally. I also gave him to practical advice as to how to break the addiction. He thanked me for the reading and said, “he felt it had really hit the mark.” I sent him on his way with a recording of the session.
I never saw Raymond again, but I periodically saw his father. About two years later he said to me, “Dylan, I don’t know what you said to my son, but he followed every word of what you said to him. He went “cold turkey” on the he**in, started eating more and aimed to get fit, decided on wanting to study nursing and went back to college to get the necessary A-levels, and has now got a place at University to study nursing. I can’t tell you what a relief it has meant to me, for him to find his vocation in life.”
Three years on I bumped into his father once more. He said, “I am so glad to have seen you, I have been wanting to tell you the good news. Raymond has completed his training in nursing, qualifying as the top student in his year. Furthermore he is getting married the week after he graduates. He fell in love with a fellow student on the course and they now are very happy together. I have never seen him so well. None of that would have been possible had he not come to see you. I am so grateful for what you said to him.”
News of this spread, which lead to a handful of readings of people who were all taking he**in. Frankly I did not get anywhere with any of them, as they were all largely persuaded by their families into having a reading, as they were desperately trying to help. However, because of the where they were at in their addiction, the individuals concerned had not come see me because they wanted to. Most of my time was largely wasted as they were not fully listening to me, instead looking towards their next fix all the time. Raymond was different, he had suffered a lot and recognised he wanted to change, even if he did not know what he wanted to do. Once he connected with the reading, it became a map that provided direction for getting his life together. It was like dropping a single salt crystal into a saturated mother solution causing the rest of the solution to rapidly crystallise; suddenly the reading, at precisely the right time in his life, provided the focus whereby Raymond was able to get his act together and transform his life.
