Over a decade ago, in 2010, I created a podcast and FaceBook page called “Learn with the masters” with the view to interviewing experts or masters in their field who had a proven track record of helping people with debilitating or burning issues such as depression, burnout, relationship issues, feeling adrift, irresponsibility, and so on and then also interviewing my hand analysis teacher, the teacher of all other master hand analysts, Richard Unger, to probe deeply into what insights one could gain about possible causes or exacerbators of each issue by exploring a person’s hands and fingerprints.
The idea at the time was to help my audience find the support they needed plus help hand analysts find solutions to issues that frequently show up in hands. All these calls were hosted on this site. Numerous specialists were interviewed and then Richard was also invited to share his insights on the issue from a hand analysis perspective.
The interviews with Richard which look place at first monthly, then due to popularity twice monthly and then eventually weekly. I called this series “Tuesdays with Richard”.
We covered numerous topics in order to help former students, or students of students, update their expertize to include Richard’s latest work, such as advanced hand shapes, and to fill in the gaps of older students’ data bases, particularly those who had studied with him decades ago.
On the eve of 2016, while at a Thomas Huebl New Year “World Work” workshop, the Earth School website crashed (technically because I accidentally pushed an update button in the back end of my website.) As a result, a second website “Earthuni” was born. Thomas’s work helped me see that I was trying to “fix” the world, or other people “out there”, rather than look closer, within for what really needed attention.
We continued with Tuesdays with Richard in Earthuni for another year but by that stage I was so deeply into my own personal work, of exploring and processing collective trauma in my own family lineage, that I put my full focus there for a few years.
How to access the library?
Many of Richard’s calls are freely available on this site. The rest will be archived for the benefit of professional Hand analysts and students.
In 2022 Richard published the first of three university level text books covering much of his vast body of work in this field. Hand Analysis 101, available as a hard back cover (three volumes. 1500 pages) also in digital format. He is in the process of completing two other equally extensive text books Hand Analysis 102 (due to be published 2025) and Hand Analysis 103 (written and busy being edited). These books include the content of his yearlong course workbooks for all three years. The good news is, these books can be purchased by anyone interested in this topic. It is no longer necessary to take a yearlong certification course to access this vast body of work. I recommend that you take a basic course (intensive or foundation course) before trying to make sense of this huge body of work.
