Hi guys.
I'm a little confused..
My understanding was that 'the cube' routine was basically bul**hit and doesn't mean anything. It's just a way to get the HB to think you can read her. Have I totally missed the point here ?
T.P
I'm not sure on the origins of the cube (i.e. who came up with it) and it never came up when I was studying Psychology but it's clearly based on Psychoanalysis, basically the subconscious mind is influencing what she imagines and we can interpret that. Bear in mind that there are many possible interpretations and thus it's entirely possible that we'll get it wrong, for example, in the above reading, it wasn't clear whether the cube above the pond was in danger of falling, trying to prevent others from falling, grieving the fallen, any combination of those things or perhaps something I hadn't thought of at all but it seemed clear that the pond was not a pleasant one because of the dead horse in it. To clear up details like that and improve the accuracy of your reading you can ask further questions.
You can also throw cold-reading style techniques in there with the cube routine by observing the body language of the person as you speak and adapting what you say accordingly, e.g. if they're nodding you're on the right track, so go deeper; if they shake their head, you're going wrong so you can say "but..." and change what you're saying.
If you still doubt the validity of the cube routine, take a look at this thread. I've never met the woman that the TS was posting about and yet, apparently, I was able to give a fairly accurate reading of her. I wouldn't say that this reading was very typical and so it wouldn't apply to everyone... It's certainly the bleakest cube I've ever interpreted!
