By William Walker Atkinson
Human Nature expresses itself in two general phases i.e. (1) the phase of Inner States; and (2) the phase of Outer Forms. These two phases however are not separate or opposed to each other but are complementary aspects of the same thing. There is always an action and reaction between the Inner State and the Outer Form-between the Inner Feeling and the Outer Expression. If we know the particular Inner State we may infer the appropriate Outer Form; and if we know the Outer Form we may infer the Inner State. That the Inner State affects the Outer Form is a fact generally acknowledged by men for it is in strict accordance with the general experience of the race. We know that certain mental states will result in imparting to the countenance certain lines and expressions appropriate thereto; certain peculiarities of carriage and manner voice and demeanor. The facial characteristics manner walk voice and gestures of the miser will be recognized as entirely different from that of the generous person; those of the coward differ materially from those of the brave man; those of the vain are distinguished from those of the modest. We know that certain mental attitudes will produce the corresponding physical expressions of a smile a frown an open hand a clenched fist an erect spine or bowed shoulders respectively. We also know that certain feelings will cause the eye to sparkle or grow dim the voice to become resonant and positive or to become husky and weak; according to the nature of the feelings. How to Read Human Nature originally published in 1916 is the original guide to human body language personality character and qualities. It takes reading body language and voice inflection for meaning to the next level analyzing such elements as mental qualities emotive qualities relative qualities and perceptive qualities in the human brain reminding one of the study of phrenology:
