When you think of Academy Awards, do you think "spiritual reading"? If not, why not?

I have an annual custom of doing aura readings, comparing auras of top-nominated actors with their auras in roles; it's a way to show that deeper perception can be practical. www.selfgrowth.com

Anyone nominated for Best Actor or Actress has the technical skills down cold. The voice, the walk, the imagination , the ability to make a role seem spontaneous and real.

But an intuitive reading can show you something even more fascinating. Who changes so deep, even the aura is altered? What happens deep within energy fields?

Auras combine changing experiences plus gifts of the soul (components that usually don't change). Now, is it possible for a super talented actor change all the way down to that level? Some can.

In this series of articles, I research five ultra-revealing databanks on each nominee for Best Actress and Best Actor. Read along with me, as I use a photo of each nominee as herself or himself, then read those very same databanks in her movie role.

Until you can do aura readings through a dedicated technique, try this short-cut. Look into the actor's eyes, in the photo being read. Then turn to the comments on one chakra at a time. Alternating this sequence, you can taste the flavor pretty strongly.

This is a kind of intuitive reading, a super-scaled-down version of one of my techniques for reading the soul through the eyes. You'll receive just about 10% of the clarity from doing bona fide aura readings, but it's fun. And it's a start.

DANIEL DAY-LEWIS AS HIMSELF

Just knowing his film role is in a story called "There Will Be Blood," some of us are gagging already… as we run out the screening room. What, people are going to watch this movie voluntarily?

Seriously, I'm very willing to read Day-Lewis, first as himself, using this photo. www.selfgrowth.com

PRESENCE WHEN ENTERING A ROOM at the Root Chakra

Photographed as himself, the British-Irish actor sparkles and shimmers with glamour. He deliberately hides his real self behind it. I will respect that reticence and read no further here.

SEX APPEAL at the Belly Chakra

Sexier than Clooney, I must admit—if you're basing your assessment on sheer quantity. Lewis is in a category with Hugh Grant, with a five-mile-long projection of sex appeal. What's the quality? Daniel specializes in a very male and hetero kind of dazzle.

HANDLING POWER IN TOUGH SITUATIONS at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Clever, creative and resourceful, this actor is powerful because he doesn't rely on mere abstract power.

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO OTHER PEOPLE at the Heart Chakra

What a free spirit! This character is mighty hard to pin down. Don't expect commitment from him in any relationship. Part of the fun in life, for him, is that he can keep people guessing.

I also suspect that his mercurial role-playing abilities stand at the forefront of his life in general. He depends on that wild actor's flexibility more than identifying with any particular set personality.

To clarify, I'm not meaning to imply mental illness or multiple personality disorder, just the creative lifestyle of an exceptionally versatile artist.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT at the High Heart Chakra

This ancient soul is having great fun, quick-silvering his way through life. Daniel may baffle those who join him for everyday conversations because he doesn't especially identify with his human personality.

NOW, HERE'S THE OSCAR-NOMINATED ROLE

Yes, here's the actor playing Daniel Plainview, a ruthless oilman. Use this link for his photo: www.selfgrowth.com

PRESENCE WHEN ENTERING A ROOM at the Root Chakra

Scary, well, yes. The actor is auricaly evoking Death Incarnate, dressed up as human. His character also thinks so fast, he's like a kind of mental athlete. Thank God, yes, this is a chakra change from D-L's business as usual.

SEX APPEAL at the Belly Chakra

As the bad Daniel, the actor's sex appeal seems small. There's that menacing, ruthless quality that would constitute a danger signal to any lover who craves happiness .

(Finding hidden, dangerous qualities like these portrayed here in a date--that is one of many benefits from learning to read auras if you are single. Otherwise lovely people can have something similar. In real life!)

Thank goodness, this counts as a drastic change of chakra for the real-life Daniel.

HANDLING POWER IN TOUGH SITUATIONS at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Simple but effective artistic choice here: If the man isn't getting what he wants, he will kill.

Here's another sizeable chakra change. Not my kind of fun, but hey, to some people that's entertainment!

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO OTHER PEOPLE at the Heart Chakra

The character is hard-hearted, wounded, and bitter. It's a powerful portrayal and, definitely, not the real Daniel's normal chakra databank.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT at the High Heart Chakra

Naughty Daniel is portrayed as a very young soul, totally a me-first-er.

CONCLUSION: Total number of chakras dramatically changed is five. That's out of five.

Yes, Daniel Day-Lewis has created a complete makeover. It's consistent. But the chakra choices are all extremely simple, verging on cartoonish.

For this type of movie, of course, this artistic choice may be perfect. How much nuance is appropriate for a movie called "There Will Be Blood"? Does this audience really want subtlety? In every other respect, Day-Lewis delivers.
