Edward asked Rose Rosetree:

Here at “Ask the Author” you’ve written, “Better Service to Others Can Help You to Fulfill the Purpose of Your Life". As an empath myself, can learning how to do a Skilled Empath Merge help you to fulfill the purpose of your life, and do it more beautifully than you can now imagine? Please tell us more about that.

Rose Rosetree Edward, thank you for asking a question that contains many ideas. In response I’ll share what’s most important to me. I’ll bring up several points, in the order that seems most important to me. In that way I can do my best to include all you Goodreaders in my response, I’m going to lay out basic concepts. That way can move forward together. Then will come the REALLY FUN PART.

I’ll give examples to illustrate how service to your (hypothetical) friend Sam would become progressively more worthwhile, depending on which form of “Deeper Perception” you used.

Keep reading and you’ll find out why, imo, nothing else comes close to the degree of helpfulness and insight that flow from doing Skilled Empath Merge.


Now, let’s explore those basics. Although not as fun as the last part of my answer to you, EDWARD, if we skip over those basics it isn’t a shortcut. More like carrying a bucket home from the village well, only the particular bucket being used contains a great big hole.

Diminishing returns, my friends! While you deserve to have big returns.

About Service to Others
In theory, all good people like the idea of helping others. What is less often understood?

Good service to others must meet a need in the other person, be a form of service that is meaningful to the recipient.

“Service to Others” should not mean inflicting My Big Idea on other people who aren’t necessarily interested.

For example, just yesterday I was hanging out on Facebook. A stranger I’ll call “Gladys” intended to be of service to me. Gladys criticized something of a general nature that I had posted. Then, out of the blue, she gave me this unsolicited advice:

“There is no wisdom I can see in this. Read up on psychology and personal growth, a spiritual path and make the world a better place.”

To any of my 5,000 friends on Facebook, her advice might have set off quite a few LOLs.

How come? Gladys didn’t know that my life – and career -- are already devoted to this – except for her interest in pop psychology.

Effective service to others must include knowing something about that person one aims to “improve.” 😉

What follows from that? Whatever will allow us to understand other people better, really know and understand them… Of course that makes it possible for us to be of service, authentic service. Not just making a nice gesture, but something that could really help the other person.

About the Purpose of Your Life.

“Purpose” has got to be one of the sexiest ideas around, especially in certain religious communities. Just about everybody longs to know the purpose of my life.

Well, for those of us who were born as empath, it stands to reason that doing Skilled Empath Merge is built right in as something we’re capable of, something important. After all, only 1 in 20 people was born as an empath.

In my view, as the founder of Energy Spirituality®, doing Skilled Empath Merge is the spiritual purpose of being born as an empath.

To be clear, no empath is born knowing how to do Skilled Empath Merge. As the name suggests. This is a skill. Hence the name, SKILLED Empath Merge.

The only book I know of that does a quality job of teaching Skilled Empath Merge is The Master Empath.

As noted in the subtitle, what’s the point of learning this skill? Turning on Your Empath Gifts at Will -- In Love, Business and Friendship

Yes, it’s quietly extraordinary, the insights we can gain about people we love, folks we do business with, old friends and potential new friends.

Why can doing Skilled Empath Merge help you to fulfill the purpose of your life, and do it more beautifully than you can now imagine?

Basically, there’s knowledge… and then there’s knowledge. So much “knowledge” might be closer to trivia, you know?

What a glut of information that bombards us all! Compounding the crazy-ridiculous parade of unhelpful info, guess what? Many of us on Goodreads are knowledge workers. Professionally we’re responsible for sorting through an impossible amount of knowledge, all of which may not be especially valuable.

HELP, PLEASE!

What can help us to declutter this mess? This may help.

All knowledge is not created equal. So discern what, to you, has High Truth Value. That’s different from what’s more common: assuming that any random idea we might pick up… is necessarily useful.

Ah, so much more clarity can be ours, thanks to discernment about truth value!

Incidentally, would any of you Goodreaders like to learn more about how to develop this kind of discernment? Could prove very useful for fulfilling the purpose of your life, and also for helping you to grow as a person.

Easy-peasy! To explore this idea, simply search on “Seek High Truth Value” – and be sure to include the quotes in your search. You’ll find various articles I published on this topic.

But Why Could Skilled Empath Merge help you to fulfill the purpose of your life, and do it more beautifully than you can now imagine?

Edward and other Goodreaders, have you perhaps heard this saying? “Garbage in, garbage out.”

On the other hand, good quality information in – can help us to create output with good quality, even quality that is superb.

Folks, if you’re interested in learning about people, that’s my specialty. Not that I know everything. (You kidding?) But I do know some things.

Before we turn to examples of giving service to your (hypothetical friend Sam), there’s just one more chunk of essential info that you’ll need. So let me share with you my perspective on different forms of deeper perception.

Sure, there’s a ton of info that we can get from reading people. But how much of that has High Truth Value? Which types of info are accurate and useful, versus not so much?

Right Now!
Now Is A Great Time To Learn About Different Kinds Of Deeper Perception into People


That perspective comes from professional work that I’ve done since founding the field of Energy Spirituality®, including 11 trademarked systems and the books you’ll find here on Goodreads at my Author Page.

#1. EXPRESSION AND BODY LANGUAGE

It’s fun. It’s easy. Technically, though, it’s just the beginner’s kind of skill for gaining insight into people. Using the shallowest form of deeper perception! Even though it’s still amazing to learn.

Good quality insights from expression are consistently appreciated by my clients. For instance, sometimes I’ll coach them to develop discernment in noticing different kinds of fake smiles. (How can you learn more about this super-easy info? Knowledge that most people-watchers don’t have yet! Google on “Zesty Smile Contest.” (Be sure to include the quotes in that search term.)

Also, just for fun, here’s a different way to enrich your appreciation for Expression and Body Language. Google on “Real Smiles. A Bigger Blessing than You Knew” – and learn what the impact on your aura can be, when somebody gives you a genuine smile. (Be sure to include the quotes in that search term.)

Note: If you’re open to learning more than you know so far about body language, you might enjoy this how-to book: Read People Deeper.

#2. FACE READING FOR CHARACTER

The art of physiognomy, expertly reading faces for character, is as old as acupuncture. Important to know, reading faces has nothing to do with expression reading.

My contribution to this field is the system of Face Reading Secrets®. At the Rose Rosetree blog, you can find many sample face readings of public figures. Besides that, you can find some appreciative quotes from my 1,000+ media interviews, including The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Catholic Standard, USA Today, and “The View”

Goodreaders, what if you develop the power of face reading? I think you’ll make a startling discovery. Much higher truth value: That is, your perceptiveness and accuracy will be far, far greater than when exploring body language.

Note: You can learn this system easily through the how-to book The NEW Power of Face Reading.

#3. QUALITY AURA READING

To be clear, and meaning no disrespect, quality aura reading is different from psychic work. Specifically, today’s quality aura reading has a much higher truth value than old-fashioned skills like “Seeing the Colours” or “Doing a Chakra Reading.”

Many people love using these skills, and will never wish to learn anything new. But I’m here to tell you – still answering that fine question from Edward, and leading up to discussion of service, hello! The truth value of reading auras improves exponentially if you use a system that allows you to research “chakra databanks.”

And did you know this, Edward and other Goodreaders? Quality aura reading doesn’t require clairvoyance, either. The system I teach helps you to use the gift set that you have personally, and your gift set may not include much clairvoyance at all. (Mine doesn’t.)

What I can teach you is called Aura Reading Through All Your Senses®.

Note: If you use my most popular aura reading how-to -- Aura Reading Through All Your Senses, oh, so much fun awaits you. For starters, you’ll find over 100 practical applications of aura reading.

#4. SKILLED EMPATH MERGE

Last on our list, but definitely not least!

With Skilled Empath Merge, you experience in consciousness what it is like to be your “Discovery Person.” And you can learn to do this in person, from regular photos, or from stealth screenshots of your supervisor over Zoom, etc.

Skilled Empath Merge is mind-boggling. Then, mind-expanding! Because, think about this:

• You.
• Experience.
• Through your own personal consciousness.
• What it is like to be a completely different person. That “Discovery Person” you have chosen to learn about!

That’s a very big deal for your personal experience, although subtle.

Now let’s go for that set of examples I promised you. Examples of how you would do far better service to your (hypothetical) friend Sam, depending on which type of deeper perception you had available.

#1. Service When You Read Expression and Body Language
Talking with your friend Sam, who has been going through a rough time lately, what can you tell?

That he’s going through a rough time lately. Not much help for being of service to him, so you just listen to him as best you can, adding encouragement.

#2. Service When You Use Face Reading Secrets®.
Talking with your friend Sam, who has been going through a rough time lately, what can you tell?

This system of reading faces is set up in an unusual way, given how face reading usually is done by other methods. My system is based on the premise that “God don’t make no junk.” For every item of face data, there’s a talent. There’s also a potential challenge.

This kind of knowledge can help you to find out some true-and-encouraging things about your friend Sam, helping you to ask better questions. Also, with a bit of face reading, you will likely appreciate him in specific ways that can bring a helpful perspective.

#3. Service When You Can Read Any Chakra Databanks of Your Choice.
Talking with your friend Sam, who has been going through a rough time lately, what can you tell?

You wouldn’t research his aura while talking to him. More like, before visiting him you might find a photo or screenshot and do some research on some of the aura-level, permanent, gifts of his soul.

Later, while speaking with Sam, you might tell him about these encouraging gems from your aura reading research. High truth value brings high impact.

#4. Service When You Do Skilled Empath Merge.
Talking with your friend Sam, who has been going through a rough time lately, what can you tell?

Right on the spot you can, with his permission, do a Skilled Empath Merge. Not in order to tell him anything about what you’ve found, but in order to get on his wavelength in a spiritually beautiful way. Within one or two minutes, you'll experience so much about what it is like to be him.

This can take your conversation to a level of much greater appreciation for him, with your support and service receiving an automatic upgrade.

As you Goodreaders know, if you’ve ever had a personal session with me, almost always I facilitate a Skilled Empath Merge with you early on. This makes it possible for me to make clearer contact with you, allowing me to be of much greater service than otherwise.

You can upgrade your service, and knowledge, as well… Simply using a bit of your day’s “20 Minutes of Technique Time” in order to gain that deep kind of insight into your Sam’s “Who You Be.”

#5. How about Service If You Haven’t Learned Any Form of Deeper Perception?

Hey, I’m going to add this category too. Since most people pride themselves on being very perceptive. Even when that claim is pretty questionable, because they’ve never been interested in learning effective skills to read people deeper. So they do have talent, only they lack much skill, compared to how much better they would do if they strengthened their talent by learning good skills for perceptiveness.

Talking with your friend Sam, who has been going through a rough time lately, what can you tell?

Only what he tells you in words. Or what you might interpret – with whatever degree of accuracy – from your favorite ways of reading people.

Hey, it’s a good thing to be there for a friend. But still, apart from enhancing your own personal growth, you really might wish to learn more about deeper perception, just to improve how you can be of service to other people you care about.

In Conclusion

Thanks for asking, Edward. Thanks for reading, everyone.
