Steve Jobs Handwriting
A reader found signatures of Apple founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne and wanted me to take a look and maybe give some analysis.
Since Steve’s signature is from 1976 I did some digging and found several more recent ones. Unfortunately, I cannot find any of his regular handwriting which would reveal more.
Several things are what I would expect and several were not.
Because Steve had cancer, I would suspect that he had problems with suppression but there is virtually no suppression in his signature. It is strange he died of cancer when he seemed to be on a very good diet and was expressive emotionally.
There is one thing I noticed that could cause emotional problems linked to cancer and that is he would yield to others, sometime against his better judgment. This is surprising since he is portrayed as being fairly unyielding. I think this yielding characteristic shows up in the book where time and time again others would share their ideas and views and he would reject them but then the next day he would be totally accepting of them and sometimes act like they were his own. His handwriting would indicate he changed his mind largely because he did a lot of thinking of how to accommodate others even though this did not seem to be true.
Even though he does not suppress emotion he did suppress his thoughts and was quite secretive.
Another thing that is somewhat surprising is he was quite insecure and he was very nervous about taking chances. What compensated for this though was his personal gutsiness and courage. These would override his fears.
One more thing that may surprise some is that he wasn’t concerned about getting a lot of personal recognition. If his products were appreciated then he was happy and that was the main thing.
His writing, especially his later writing shows that he really thought outside the box and was unconventional in many ways. He was very unconventional in almost every way, and, even though some portray him as a difficult personality, the writing reveals that he had powerful personal magnetism and charm. I can see why many were very devoted to him.
He was a very balanced thinker and interested in all phases of life, the spiritual, social and material.
He was intuitive, creative and often compared his work to art which is interesting because he could have been an artist if he had put his attention in that direction.
The interesting thing about Wozniak’s writing is that he writes more like a schoolteacher than an engineer or computer genius. He’s a lot more of a people person and not as intelligent as I expected.
Reader Comment: This isn’t yielding, this is stealing. But, he, himself, admitted that the best ideas are stolen.
JJ It was both. Stealing ideas does not negate the yielding. I think stealing is a harsh way of putting it when he was running the company and already owned whatever anyone produced. Also, both Jobs and the employee involved knew where the ideas came from. Jobs was very sparse with his praise making such very valuable. I think that he felt that just using an employee’s idea was enough to give them recognition.
Everyone thinks a little differently and one has to put himself in the guy’s shoes to understand. I think that those who worked close with him did understand and that is why most really liked working for him and supported him despite his quirky ways.
How Many Masters?
Question: How many masters have there been that lived on the Earth, in the flesh throughout history of the Earth?
JJ DK names Twelve plus the Christ who work directly with humanity but there are others who work with other kingdoms and projects. The total number is not given. Positions held by Masters come and go and we are not given the total number in history but DK did say this over a century ago:
“The workers, or adepts, concerned with the evolution of the human family, comprise sixty-three, if the three great Lords are counted in making the nine times seven necessary for the work. Of these forty-nine work exoterically, if it might be so expressed, and fourteen esoterically, being more concerned with the subjective manifestation. Not many of Their names are known to the public, nor would it be wise in many cases to reveal Who They are, where They dwell, and what is Their particular sphere of activity.” Initiation Human and Solar, Page 51
