So I got home last night and to my surprise, there is a package from Lulu was sitting on my doorstep WAYYY ahead of schedule. I popped it open and there staring me in the face was my very own copy of Corpus, I just got this last night and have slowly, but sure digesting everything in it, so here are some initial thoughts.
The first thing I want to congratulate Iain on is his writing style, it kept me very entertained which is something that can be rare sometimes on our lovely art. Bottom line is Iain is a funny guy with an interesting sense of humor, so parental discretion is advised The book opens with AEIOU which is a really interesting, yet simple reading system that can easily be changed up and put into many many different things outside of readings which is pretty much what Iain covers along with multiple examples. I am pretty sure if you knew this system alone, you could do a full paid personal reading covering different aspects of how the sitter is in different perspectives without the old stereotype of Barnum statements. I really liked the information presented so far, AEIOU is a great, simple and versitile little reading system the can be used on it's own or alongside other systems. So before I begin, let me say for some reason I have been having a lot of trouble with learning numerology. I don't know if it is because I have a severe dislike for numbers and math or my Mnemonics are just crap, but this system makes sense to me. I don't want to give anything away, but this is another easy and effective reading system that is shockingly versitile. Iain is quite the artist I have realized in reading this magnum opus, this is really an intuitive system that feels almost poetic, as it should because there are plenty of poetry pieces throughout the book that spurred some of the thoughts that lead to this mutant hybrid baby of a system. I will be using this system, it's simple, it's sleek and it feels like what I would expect a psychic reading to actually do in their mind. Tessarula, what a name, it sound's expensive, complicated and for some reason reminds me of the word trephine, but this is a nifty little simple system too. I will be honest, this particular system wasn't one I could see myself using though I am not saying it is not workable by any means! Basicly this is a nice little piece that can really advertise yourself if you use if well. Cool little idea, who knows maybe as I digest it more I will see it as something I would use. So this is the end, Familiars. Iain started off this chapter with a very interesting story that honestly many personal readers should read, it basicly illustrates that readers should be careful on what they choose to say as well as his view on ethics in readings. The other essays and rants are some valuable tips and stresses on ethics, great words of wisdom as well as some cool tips to use with the systems I just read! Overall this was a great little buy and it will be having a special place on the bookshelf with my material I often refernce. Thank you Iain and keep writing my friend! -Jake |

Thanks very much Jake - very pleased you enjoyed the experience...let me know how you get on using it "out there"...
and I'm with you on the numerology thing, I genuinely don't use it - so that was why I developed thought-paths...and glad you got the idea of it so quickly too... please remember they can all mix 'n match, and are built to be fluid and give you enough scope to use it as you need to...mentalism reveals, readings and even down to WHY they might have chosen a word from a book...and I do enjoy reading Brand names, just for my own amusement... so thank you again Jake - really happy you liked it so much...thank you for your time and review too...

No problem Iain, I only speak the truth and honestly I used some of thought paths tonight for some readings to test it out with some people I randomly met and it went over great then eventually lead into me doing some pain reduction on a guy's leg using hypnosis. This is a powerful little tool to add to your arsenal, you can easily and effectively use it alone to give powerful demonstrations without your Imp pad, swami or even a pad to write on (though I like to have one to let the paths flow better). Be real, be intuitive and to paraphrase Iain from one of his essays, don't be an arse!

I do enjoy using the whole walking through the forest way of delivering a reading that's in thought-paths, the seasons is a nice gentle way of gaining some insight into how they see things...
glad its working out for you...
