I HAVE the luck of the

Irish, or so say my
ears.

By ROSS MEEK

That's ‘Tight, my ears.
They didn’t tell me but Kim
Harri-sen knows. He -can
“reads ears — for a price.”

Harri-sen, a name he
adopted while in Japan,
reads lips, faces and hands
too. According to my upper
lip,-I have .a cruel. streak.

psychic-astrological degree
hanging on the walls of his
smokey office.

He's lived and practiced
his varied trades in Europe
and Russia al! before moving
to Canada in 1979. ,

He even claims a PhD
from the University of
Zurich but he reads ears and
designs astrological charts
because it’s the most fun.

“1 don’t take what I do as
unique,’ said Harri-sen.
“Thousands of Chinese
practice.it every day. There
is nothing ‘mysterious,
there's no little green men.”’

The reason for still prac-
ticing this unusual art: “I’m
a nosey guy. I like to know
what makes people tick.’’

He likens himself to a
traffic cop. Because he ‘can

says he. can give people an
idea of how they should live
their lives for the most
benefit. : . :
_, His training allows him to
‘rise ‘above the everyday and
gaze into the . past . and
future,

He can't, however, tell’

you anything you don’t
already know, just what you
don’t seé. ©

It’s like western astrology
but much more precise.:‘‘Be-
ing an engineer I like preci-
sion,’’ says Harri-sen.

While he reads much more
than just the ear, it is a good
starting point, says Harri-
sen, because the ear tells so
much about a person.

In the related study of
acupuncture, says Harri-sen,
the ear is also a key area
with 350 pressure points:

With just an ear reading
Harri-sen can tell. your per-
sonality,. character, fortune
and tendencies for disease.

But this isn’t ‘all that's -

contained in. the Yellow

Emperor's Classic medicine
text.

Harri-sen has also practis-
ed the ancient art of Fung
sei. With a special compass
he can determine the best
location for buildings or
direction of sleep.
