did you think there is any act capable of suggesting the mind of any body

Well, there are theories that say that, e.g. blue eyed people are romantics, brown-eyed angry and so on, but I don't think there's any truth in that. Well, come to think about it, the race of a person may tell more.

I don't think so especially if we look at the original source. I think you can tell something about a person's life from there face.
Walker Evan's Let Us Now Priaise Famous men with pictures from the Depression is an example, it showed weariness but not their soul (which could be debated). I think plastic surgery is an example of people often trying to do it.

"There is no art to find the mind's construction in the face." When Shakespeare put those words in the mouth of the far too-certain King Duncan, it was to reveal him as a fool. Duncan believes he can read the character of a man merely by looking at him. Convinced that Macbeth's handsome heroic visage vouchsafes an honorable person, he is quickly murdered -- by Macbeth -- good looks notwithstanding.
Despite all we know about comeliness hiding a rotten human being, we still persist in trying to divine character by whether s/he's attractive or not. The face, we have to believe, in spite of everything, is some kind of expression of the soul. And to some extent it is. It's just not guaranteed."

Every cell contains a memory of the whole body, so why would it not exist in the face?
If you mean by this puzzling question a mind which does not reside within the physical body, then that may be something else.
Keep asking in different words and more of us will understand you.

In a way, yes, but it is far from the only source of Mind. If you think about it, your face plays a huge roll in your Mind; for example your face is the social foundation from which people interact with you (in person) and thus helps form your social views and beliefs, not to mention physical features have unique sensations that would only be experienced with THOSE features in particular. But this is true of all things, everything adds to make you who you are. Your face adds a lot, but far from everything.

Do you mean can you tell by someones' look what is going on in their minds? You want to read peoples' minds by how their face looks at you?

You may have a question, but it's impossible to tell what that question is.
Try again, writing in clear, complete sentences. Give some context; explain what you're asking.
What you've posted makes no sense.
