MyOwnTrueColors™

I tested this new aura/motive tomography device on fifteen volunteers at a Unity Church in 2002. It confirmed all my predictions contained in my 1995 book, The Seven Thunders of the Soul, a Unified General Theory of Behavior, as well as my predictions in my 1997 version of this research website. At the time, I also tested my own colors, which were a dark purple. I was obsessed with achievement (blue) and the control (red) of this experiment.

I also bought a copy of both of Taylor Hartman’s two books, The Color Code and Color Your Future and outlined both of his books. His two books helped me, and I know they will also help you, to be your best and to do your best in leading our own lives and in leading others.

Now, after testing and coaching an additional hundred and forty-five individuals, my own aura colors and personality characteristics have improved dramatically. Compare my aura photo above with the Hartman Character Profile below:

The Jacobs Ladder Leadership Project J

® Abstract of What Has Been Learned So Far ®

Research Aims C To rigorously test whether Aaura@ imaging can be reliably substituted for the Harvard Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) and/or the Lüscher Color Choice Test from Switzerland C in accessing and developing the seven attitudinal energies (plus the null set) from which all perceived reality (both individual and cultural) is created and maintained over time by leadership.

My own research thus far C using the TAT, the Lüscher Color Choice Test, and Aura Imaging equipment C has produced converging evidence that the three TAT motives C Power (P), Achievement (A), and Affiliation (L) C are related to personal color choices as well as to the Aaura@ colors in a manner indicated by the following testable model. The seven TAT attitudes are ranked from most individualistic (#1, #2, #3) up to most social (#4, #5, #6) up to most balanced (#7).

My working hypothesis is that persons who routinely practice altruistic leadership behavior will be those with the #7 reality awareness level and attitude. Yet the Organization Development (OD) leadership style for operationalizing this cultural reality awareness level is not taught in the public schools. Instead, leadership is taught by means of adversarialist sports and military training.

* The sad faces stand for missing motives.

So far, my research suggests Man to be a symbol-dependent, energy-transforming, goal-oriented servo-mechanism with freewill who functions in realtime within different Afields of cultural energy@ associated with the way Areality@ is defined and maintained over time by leadership, confirming the claims by Dr. Maxwell Maltz during the 1960s in his book Psycho-Cybernetics.

There are also seven levels of leadership, in regard to one's Asphere of influence:@ (1) leading one=s own life, (2) leading other individuals, (3) leading small groups (both real and nominal groups), (4) leading an organizational environment and its climate of motivational energy, (5) leading coalitions, (6) leading a nation, and (7) leading an empire or some new world order.

The primary function of all leadership, at any JL motivation level and at any level of influence, is to define "reality.@ This ontology function of leadership creates and/or maintains a cultural field of energy that stimulates within others certain of the three motives (or Aspirits@) that are revealed by the TAT. Research by David McClelland at Harvard has shown that these motives are universal and independent of culture.
