Chapter ten, the human aura.Surrounding every living body and some non living
materials, there is a halo oraura which may be seen under certain exceptional
conditions. Clairvoyance have always contended thatthey could see this oura surrounding human beings,
but they were laughed at for theirpains by the majority of scientists,
(00:22):
who continued to disbelieve in its existence. About the middle of the nineteenth century,
Baron von Richtenbach published a book onthe aura, paying particular attention to
the emanations which his sensitives had seencoming from crystals and the poles of horseshoe
magnets. It is now known thatboth magnets and crystals give off a very
(00:42):
noticeable aura, and this may beseen by any one possessing even moderate psychic
development if they observed these objects whenplaced in a darkened room, how studied
by the aid of chemical screens.Needless to say, all this was disbelieved
at the time, and it wasnot until nineteen eleven that the existence of
the orea was proved scientifically by meansof mechanical and chemical means. Doctor Kilner,
(01:07):
the electrician of Saint Thomas Hospital,London, then showed that it is
possible for anyone to see the ouraissuing from a living human being by means
of especially prepared glass slides containing achemical named dicyanin the subject of the experiment
is placed against a white or blackcloth background in a nearly darkened room and
must be at least partially nude,as the oura cannot be seen through the
(01:30):
clothing. The investigator then looks throughone of the chemical screens of the daylight,
then, closing his eyes, pullsdown the blind so as to make
the room nearly dark. In thislight, the figure of the model can
be seen only faintly, and ifthe subject is looked at through the glass
screen, the aura may be seenby nearly anyone possessing good eyesight. In
(01:51):
this case, the investigator does nothave to be a clairvoyant, since the
eyes are rendered susceptible to certain artificiallight waves by means of the chemical screens.
Usually our eyes cannot perceive these waves. In this way, the skeptical
world has been convinced of the realityof the human aura, and it is
now considered a proved scientific fact.The three auras thus disclosed. The human
(02:15):
aura or atmosphere consists of a numberof layers or strata, one beyond the
other extending out into space. Bymeans of doctor Kilner's chemical screens, three
of these divisions may be clearly perceived. First, what is called the etheric
double. This is seen like adark line slightly grayish in color, which
extends over the whole surface of thebody, conforming exactly to its shape.
(02:38):
Doubtless, this is one manifestation ofthe double or etheric body. Beyond this
extends the inner aura, which isusually two or three inches broad. It
conforms to the contour of the bodythroughout, and is more or less colored
by the health of the individual andby the mental or emotional states which may
be present at that time. Beyondthis, again is the outer aura,
(03:00):
beginning where the inner oura ceases,and extending from three to six inches as
a rule, before it becomes invisible. It extends slightly further in the case
of women than it does in men. This aura is very variable and is
greatly influenced by all the mental andpsychic conditions of the person to whom it
belongs. Its colors vary also verygreatly, But this cannot, as a
(03:23):
rule, be seen through the screensbecause they themselves are either dark red or
blue. It takes a trained clairvoyantto see all the subtle gradations and variations
of color in the aura. Howto train your psychic sight? The best
way to train yourself to see ourasof this character is perhaps the following one.
In a darkened room, study theaspect of a good horseshoe magnet,
(03:46):
either suspended in the air by asilk thread or placed on a support with
poles up and vary the position ofthe observation until a faint luminosity is observed
at the poles and along the edgesof the magnet. Two in the fight
repeat the same process, trying tomake out these lines in the extensions and
limitations of the aura. It mustbe understood that this vision can be obtained
(04:08):
artificially only through the action of thewill and by a proper focusing of the
eyes. The perception of auras requiringa very different focus from ordinary sight,
and this focusing is very often,nearly always in fact, different in each
of the two eyes. The attemptedfocusing of the sight must therefore be made
with each eye separately, and thenwith both combined. It may happen that
(04:30):
one eye only can be focused forthis special vision, or when both are
found available. If both focuses arenot identical, the active use of both
eyes at one time may destroy thepsychic side of the sensitive eye. The
aura in daylight and darkness. Itis important to master the faculty of seeing
the magnetic aura in the daylight,because more complete details can thus be eventually
(04:50):
obtained than in the dark, andthis is the only way to learn how
to perceive the human aura. Forthe purpose of trying one's vision in broad
daylight, take a good horseshoe magnetand hold it perpendicularly in front of you,
either against the background of an openoutside light, such as can be
obtained from looking out from the insideof a room through an open window,
(05:11):
or against a near inside background,for instance, a wider dark wall,
according to the nature of the light. Then look at the edge of the
magnet with one eye only, andgradually approach it or slide it away from
you until you obtain the best focusof vision. Look steadily along the same
point until it dawns on you thata kind of a quivering, narrow band
(05:31):
of mist or vapor is flowing fromthe metal and prevent your sight from freely
perceiving the object back of it,producing in fact a sort of bending of
your visual rays. As soon asyou realize the presence on the edge of
the magnet of this current of vaporousmist, which may be compared to the
appearance of the heated air which arisesin summer time from hot fields, the
(05:53):
first psychic visual victory has been obtained, and the perception of the other phenomena
connected with the aura will only needtime, perseverance, and practice, And
once the magnet is conquered, onemay expect to speedily obtain the sight of
the beautiful and intricate currents on thehuman body. The structure of the aura.
After the aura has been perceived andits general layers distinguished, the student
(06:17):
must turn his attention to its structureand color variations. The question of color
will be treated in the next chapter, which is devoted entirely to that subject.
As to the structure or composition ofthe aura, if this be studied
carefully, it will be found thatit is composed in a great variety of
different ways according to the object orperson emitting it. Thus, the aura
(06:39):
of flowers is very different to thatof magnets or human beings. The aura
of flowers. It is a veryinteresting study to try and perceive psychically the
composition of the aura of various flowers. For instance, that of the violet
is about one eighth of an inchin thickness and composed first of a bright
light, then a line of darkblue shading away into a very light blue,
(07:03):
all these following the contour of theedge of the leaf. Above these
lines is a scalloped or semilinear stringor border of two rows of little purplish
red figures, diamond shaped, veryregularly distributed so as to form two sets
of fourteen little diamonds over the spaceof each small lobe of the leaf.
(07:23):
Then above these a wave of darkblue mist in crescent form, shading off
into light blue. This is onlya sample reading of one flower. Each
flower has its own particular aura,some of them being very complex, but
it will serve to show the studenthow interesting a study this can be made.
(07:43):
The study of the orea of plantsalone, carefully undertaken, would occupy
considerable time. The human aura andhow to study it. After you have
studied the ouras of magnets and plantsin this way, you should turn your
attention to the auras of living humanbeings. Children may easily be studied,
and their auras are exceedingly interesting.Developed clairvoyants are enabled to see several different
(08:09):
auras, each of them being composedof a number of subdivisions, and each
subdivision having a different structure and color. It is a good plan to begin
the study of the aura by theaid of the chemical screens before mentioned in
semi darkness, and then to practiceviewing the oura without the screens, and
as the eyes gain sensitiveness to admitmore and more light until it can be
(08:31):
clearly seen in the daylight. Inthis way, your psychic sight will be
gradually and naturally developed. End ofChapter ten.
