He reveals that everyone is primarily one OR the other which is the cause for nearly all misunderstandings in all types of relationships. He points out that, “It is never enough to be understood, but far more important not to be MIS-understood!”
Not only are explicit examples given of both, Literal and Inferential communication styles, he teaches how to avoid conflicts and have harmony with anyone by understanding how to communicate to listen in both styles.

Join in and test yourself: is Johnny Depp an Emotional personality or a Physical? Robert Downey Jr.—which one is he? We go deep and explore Alfred Einstein, Hemingway, Van Gogh and a wide variety of famous people over history.
We then give examples of how to evaluate those who are close to us: lovers, friends, co-workers and even casual acquaintances. This pry open your 3rd eye episode then teaches you how to focus this lens to examine ourselves.
Questionnaires to determine yours, or anyone’s sexual-personality are given as free downloads and the essential topic of the two different communication styles are introduced.
But what’s the use of knowing if we can’t USE the knowledge?
We then learn HOW to apply this knowledge by understanding what Emotionals and Physicals truly seek from those around them and how we can get what we want by giving others what they want.
This is a journey into the SUB-conscious realms of thoughts and desires! Forget about the superficial conscious mind—it’s only 12% of what we think and feel with. We must access the hidden, 88% of the SUB-conscious mind.
