“An iron saw in a velvet glove with jagged edges…”

“… He is out to fight injustice — and it’s very personal for him.”

How better to describe this man?

If you thought reading Bill O’Reilly’s body language was telling, wait until you read the analysis of Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart based on facial features and auras published in today’s Chicago Sun-Times. It quotes an analysis by Rose Rosetree, the author of The Power of Face Reading and Aura Reading Through All Your Senses.

I can’t bring myself to edit any of this, but I’ll leave you to follow the link to read the analysis of Jon. Both are wonderful reads.

Colbert’s face

There are three main points Rosetree wants to make about Colbert’s face.

“See the zany, out-angled top on the right ear?” she asks. “Right at the top, it bends all the way out. That’s perfect, because what that means is that in his career, when he first meets people, when he starts any act — he does the most outrageous thing he can can think of. It’s just something he needs to do.”

If Colbert is thinking about plastic surgery anytime soon, Rosetree one plea: “Don’t get a lip job anytime soon,” she advises. “It would destroy your humor.” Colbert has “in-drawn lip texture,” which results in a very rare communication style. “You never say things just to please people,” she explains. “You say them because they really come from deep inside.”

Finally, note Colbert’s “tiny front teeth.” Believe it or not, that means that this man has a small ego. “That will make sense as we delve into his aura,” says Rosetree. “You can compare him either to Mother Teresa or Lucille Ball. And I’m sure he’d love being in that company.”

Colbert’s aura

At the root chakra, Rosetree sees someone who just does not quit. “He could do endurance sports like marathons,” she says. “Not so much team endurance, but personal endurance. He’s strong, he’s muscular and he’s exceptionally street smart.”

Colbert’s creativity chakra reveals elegance and spontaneity. “But the main thing is that he’s got an irrepressible sense of humor,” Rosetree says. “He’s a deep-down funny person. He’s probably been making jokes ever since he could blow bubbles out of his nose.” Right here, Rosetree can see the basis of much of his humor. “He loves to build up a premise, step by step, very methodically — and then add one thing that sends it crashing down. Whoops!”

The power chakra is also telling.

“He aims to win,” Rosetree says. “He wants to win fair, but he definitely wants to win.”

If this Comedy Central thing doesn’t work out for Colbert, he might look to his intellect chakra for a backup plan.

“I can see here that he’s practical and he’s got really outstanding mechanical ability,” Rosetree says. “If he ever needs a new day job, he could fix broken watches.”

The heart chakra belongs to a shy guy

“He needs privacy,” Rosetree says. “He’s often coaxed by others into a social life, rather than initiating. Stephen is perfect in the role of little brother to Jon Stewart. Jon is more like the first born and Stephen is more like the baby.”

The throat chakra is all about communication and here Rosetree sees someone with a huge amount of self-restraint. Even more surprises await at the third eye’s spiritual center.

“He is more devout than most people,” Rosetree says, “and he cares deeply about being good. It’s not necessarily what you’d think watching him. He’s not a zealot, but really wants to be a good boy.”

Colbert is really loving his life, according to the high heart chakra. “It’s like a tightrope act, balancing out the various temptations of his life: On the one hand, he has an ability to destroy other people; on the other hand, he has a desire to be good. It’s a balancing act, but he feels like he’s doing that.”

Rosetree sums up the funnyman as “an iron saw in a velvet glove with jagged edges. He is out to fight injustice — and it’s very personal for him.”
