Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norrieback with
Vernon Mahabbel. Vernon is the founder and director of the
Palmistry Institute in Portland, Oregon. Vernon has formal training in
Vedic cosmology, which has taken him to India many times.
And what he does is he combines Eastern and Western
astrological disciplines into his practice. A couple of his books

(00:27):
include The Palmistry Cards and Talk to the Hand of
Field Guide to Practical Palmistry. We'll take calls with him
next hour and he may very well read your palm
right over the phone. Vernon, Welcome back, have you been George?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Fantastic being on again with you. Thank you for having
me on again.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
You are the reason I look at my poems all
the time.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
You know that, Oh that's good. I'm happy about that.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
What is it about the poems that give you the
intelligence in the knowledge to predict who we are, what
our future is?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
George? The hand is like a book, and the configurations
and the symbols and the lines are formed by the
soul within our own heart. So the soul is actually
sending these signals through the agency of the hand, so

(01:27):
it's just a question of knowing how to read that
book of the hand.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Is the left palm identical to the right palm?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Never? Never, because the left palm has to do with
the right brain, which is the intuitive side, and the
other brain has to do with the logic and reason,
So both hands are going to be completely different. In
other words, the inner self is usually going to be

(01:58):
seen better on the left hand, and the outer self
and our career and how other people see us is
going to be better seen on the right hand.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Now does the fingerprints have anything to do with it?

Speaker 3 (02:10):
The fingerprints are one of my most important studies. They're
my focus, and the fingerprints had everything to do with
understanding what person's life purposes, what their careers should be,
and what their destiny is. Fingerprints hold the knowledge of
what we did in our previous life, our challenges from

(02:34):
our previous life, and what are talents and abilities we
accomplished in our previous life. So the fingerprints are amazing.
One of the things I look at first.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
If you look at the fingerprints or palms of a baby,
can you determine what their personality is going to be like,
or what could happen to them when they get older
if they were to.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Keep their hands still for a few minutes. Huh. What
you have to do is just take a photograph of
their hands, keep their hands open, and convince the kid
to just keep their hands open, and then take a
quick shot. But yes, George, everything is seen on those
fingerprints on a child's hand, even if they're three days old.
You'll be able to see if that person is going

(03:20):
to be an architect when they're in their thirties and forties,
or will they be a talk show host. Everything is
on those fingerprints.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
That is dramatic, It really is. And when you take
calls next hour, and what you've done in the past
is you've read people's palms right over the phone, haven't you.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah, it's kind of like a bit of remote viewing,
if you will. But I have to have that person
look at their hands and I'll be able to scan
it and if they give me one or two questions,
that will be great.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Now I'm looking at my left palm and my right palm,
and it's the same to me.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Vernon, Well, if you really were to look at them
in great detail. You'll see that there's a lot of
differences there. Of course, there's gonna be some uh, there's
gonna be some symmetry there, obviously because it's you. But
there's a great difference between the right hand because it

(04:23):
definitely deals with the left brain and vice versa, and
so you have to look at those both brains. But
you know, ultimately both hands together will tell a story
about your life, so they should kind of work in
harmony with each other. But there's definitely differences in people's hands.

(04:45):
There's no question.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Now would they billion people on this planet. There is
no identical fingerprints out there.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I haven't seen one yet.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
You know, law enforcement they use fingerprints for identification purposes
and that's wonderful, but they have no idea of the
psychology and emotional aspects and destiny that those fingerprints also hold.
But yes, it's true, George, there's no fingerprint that resembles
another one. There are four major fingerprints and those that

(05:26):
divided more into sixteen. But there's so many different levels
and gradations looking at those fingerprints, so you'll never see
an identical fingerprint.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
If there were a world event like an asteroid coming
this way. Would you be able to see that in
a number of people in their palms?

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Well, George, when I first was about to move out
to California, this is like maybe the late eighties, my
friends were always telling me, Oh, there's gonna be an
earthquake in California. The whole thing's going to fall into
the sea. And so one of the things that I
always look at in the hands of Californians and West

(06:08):
Coasters is if that was going to happen. So I
was always on the lookout to see that type of thing.
I never saw it, and I still don't. So yes,
if there's something catastrophic like a meteor or something like
something of that nature, yeah, you would definitely see it.

(06:29):
On every hand that you read in that particular place.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Do the pomp prints or fingerprints change ever.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
That's a great question. When we look at lines, lines
are the chuck for systems, so they deal with energies.
So if a person, for instance, if you're looking at
your lines on your hand and you see lines that
are very deep and dark and rich, that means you're
using the energies and the talents of what those lines represent.

(07:01):
If the line on the other hand, is weak and
light and hard to see. It means those talents represented
by what the line represents are not being used so well.
And what does change then is if a person is
starting to use their talents and abilities, those lines especially

(07:25):
will become deeper and darker and sometimes even extend. So
that's how that happens. But the general destiny of a
person will not change. In other words, if a person
is destined to be a writer, or a person is
destined to work with computers, that's not going to change.
What will change, on the hand, is if you're looking

(07:45):
at someone's hand and you will be able to tell
if they're actually utilizing those powers.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Can you tell if there's going to be happiness in
somebody's life tragedy and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yes you can. And that's an important aspect of palmistry
because a lot of times people who come to people
like me are going through a difficult period and many
times all they want to know is, hey, one, is
it going to end? How long do I have to
go through this? So you look at the different timings
of the planets and the houses and the signs and

(08:24):
see what's happening at that particular time for them. But yes,
everybody goes through ups and downs, and that's what actually
makes us stronger. But yes, people do go through periods
of happiness and power and making things happen. And then

(08:46):
when you tell someone, hey, this period's going to last
another you know, let's say six to eight months, and
you'll be out of it for a good number of years.
That makes people really happy.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Does the palm determine the future or does the future
determine the palm.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
We create our future, George, from activities that we performed
in our previous life. In other words, what we wanted
to continue in a previous life. If a person was
let's say a singer or a musician, and they wanted
to continue, they will that will be seen on their

(09:25):
hands in their next life. So in that respect, we
create our own future. We are What I see in
people's hands, George, is that we are completely in charge
of our own future and our own destiny. We created.
It's not arbitrary. It doesn't just happen. It's something that
we wanted and we get what we deserve and what

(09:46):
we desired from a previous life.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
If you were to look at the hands of Zelenski,
the President of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin of Russia. What
do you think you would see?

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Well, you would see the interplay between both of them.
In fact, if you were to look at let's say
Putin's hands, even when he was ten years old, you
would see that he would become the leader of his country,
and you would also see how he deals with people
from other countries and how he deals with political stuff
and etc. Etc. So, yes, if you see two people

(10:24):
having some interferences of difficulties or struggles or even good stuff,
you will see that interplay on their hands.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
By looking at the hands. Can you touch certain spots
to make things happen?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
There are some promise who believe in that, but I
don't take any stock in that. No. Really, the soul
within the heart is sending its message into the hand,
and just touching the hand has nothing to do with that.
It won't have anything to do with how your future

(11:03):
will continue.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Burn and take us back to the beginning. How did
you get involved in reading poems?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
When I was seventeen, George, I actually found a book
on Palm Street in my school library, and I started
reading it and looking at my friend's hands. And they're
asking me, what are you doing? And I was just
intrigued by it. I can't say, I can only say

(11:33):
it must have come from a previous life, but I
was definitely intrigued by it. And my friends were just saying,
why don't you just stick to baseball? Stop this? And
then when I was when I was twenty one twenty two,
I actually met someone in New York. His name was
Patrick Truffroy, who was a palmised on the street. He

(11:54):
had a table on the street and he was reading
hands and I used to pass by him all the time,
and finally I got up courage to ask him, what
are you doing? And he became a teacher for five
or six years, and I used to sit at his
table and watch him read hands, and he would explain
to me things about people's hands. And I just got

(12:19):
just really wonderful on the spot training from him, and
then my career just continued after that.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Are there many promises in this country, in this world, George.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
I wish there were more astrologers. Definitely outnumber us, there's
no question, but in the Western world palmistry is definitely
on the rise. In fact, we are mainstream now. I
would actually say that palmistry, astrology, numerology, we're mainstream, We're

(12:52):
not We're not on the fringe anymore. You can tell,
for instance, you can tell a friend that, hey, I'm
going to my astrologer or my palmise just as just
as well as you were to say, hey, I'm going
to my chiropractor, and nobody will will bat and I.
In fact, people will even say, hey, I want the
number of this person. Tell me what they're reading was about.

(13:17):
So so people are becoming more discriminative, discriminative and aware
of palmistry. And the palmis are that I know are
getting better, and there's a lot of palmists who are
contributing something new to their science. Astrologists have been doing

(13:38):
that for many, many years, but palmistry is definitely coming up.
Palmas Cy George is a brother or sister to astrology.
So in the Eastern world, palmstree is just as popular
as astrology. When you go to places like Japan, China,
or Malaysia or Singapore, palmistry is big actually in India.

(14:02):
Most Western palmists don't really see the science of palmistry
as a brother or sister, but things are changing now.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
We're talking with Vernon Mahaffal, the palm reader, and he
does a great job doing it. How difficult is it
to teach somebody how to read poems?

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh, it depends on the person's desire. Many times people
will come to get lessons from me, and I can
just tell this person has done it in a previous
life and they just feel acclimated to it and they're
intuitively getting it. Other times people come to palmistry and
it's and it takes them a little bit of time,

(14:41):
but they're on their road. But yeah, I can tell
immediately when a person has let's say, the intuition and
the insight coming from previous lives, whether they're going to
actually take to it and become really good at it.
And that's happening a lot these days, thank god.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Are there key factors in everybody's palms that are similar.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Well, as you were saying before, you know, everybody wants happiness,
everybody wants sure and and so what I see is
that if as a as a palmi is my job
so to speak, is to let a person know, Hey,
this is the work you're meant to do, or this
is the life purpose you're meant to lead. Or these

(15:29):
are the type of emotions you have. Uh. And if
I can explain that to a person and they get
a good handle on who they are and what what
what their abilities are, then people will become happy. They will.
And so the similarities are that we all want happiness,

(15:49):
we won't we all we all want we all want
to be free from fear uh And but our ways
of getting there are quite different.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
If the palm says something to you and they're not
very favorable to the individual, and you point this out
to the individual, can that individual have the free will
to change? Or is he stuck with that palm?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Reading George, as they say, fifty percent of the battle
is knowing what the battle is. And so in a
feel like mine, people are coming to me to ask, Hey,
what am I doing wrong? What's happening here? I need
some insight. So if you let a person know what

(16:36):
the challenges are and what the difficulties are and how
to get over them. Just knowing what the challenges are,
that's fifty percent right there, and people can overcome their
difficulties and their struggles. So people come to people like
me to want to change their life and to want

(16:56):
to to move forward. So it's easy actually to let
a person know, Hey, this is your challenge and this
is what you need to work on. People are all ears.
It's a little bit more difficult if someone, let's say,
you go to a party and someone says, oh, I
want you to read my friends and and you may

(17:17):
kind of look at them, but they're not really ready
to receive what you have to tell them. But if
a person comes to you and they're actually making an appointment,
they want to know how to move forward.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
What if somebody takes your advice changes and it works
for them, and then two or three years later you
look at their palm, the poms haven't changed. How do
you know that whatever they've done is the right thing.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Oh, that's a wonderful question. You can see the changes
years in the future. You can, let's say, and this
happened to me years ago, where I met a person
who played guitar in a very very big rock and
roll band, and I told him that in about five

(18:08):
or six years you are going to start a production studio.
And he said, I'll never do that. That's not what
I want to do. And he was, I want to
play music the rest of my life. And I said,
all right, all right. Well, five or sixth later he
calls me up and he says, I've got a studio,
And I said, okay, what happened? He said, I'm sick
of touring. I can't stand it anymore. So I just

(18:32):
wanted to stay in one place and record other bands.
So these are the things that you see, not everybody
who it's a very rare person, for instance, who stays
in the same career all their lives. If you look
at people's handsome let's say one hundred and two hundred
years ago, you do see that. You do see where

(18:54):
people take on the work of their parents, but you
don't see that anymore. So it's very common to see
someone who, let's say, is a singer in a rock
and roll band, and at thirty they become an agent.
At forty they open up their own record recording studio.

(19:15):
You know that type of thing. So these changes are
all seen.
