Auras

[Nicky the nodreamer]

I think i spelled that wrong but anyways... I saw a thread on here about auras a few weeks ago so i practiced it (for the fun of it because i really didn't believe it) but today i went to track first period my coach looked carefree and happy he was sitting infront of a white wall and i see this ting of scarlet around him sure enough 5 minutes later hes making us do the hill (a very hard punishment which involves doing lunges up and down backwards on a steep hill) because yesterday 3 kids were sent to the office for getting into a fight. But can someone clarify a bit more for me on what aruas really are?

You are seeing energy. It's funny how even if we don't believe in things, it doesn't matter if it's real. The only thing disbelief does to reality is makes us convince ourselves that we are not seeing what we are seeing.

But can someone clarify a bit more for me on what aruas really are? It's spelt "Auras", and there is no evidence whatsoever for their existence. In fact, there are experiments you can do yourself which will show you that they are not some spiritual energy field. What most people see when they think they see Auras, is actually an optical illusion, due to how the cone cells in your eyes work, combined with the way our eyes dart around constantly. What you are basically seeing is an inverted colour after image, of something you were looking at earlier. I made this a while ago to demonstrate kind of how it works...

Good point spaceexplorer, we can't prove auras. Why is that? What we do is create a virtual reality (based on rl) in our imagination which is the representation of our perception, what you see in front of your eyes is a projection from your imagination. This is how we are able to lucid dream in the first place because the brain copies the entire world and makes it's own version of it, also during waking life. Seeing through this virtual version is seeing energy directly, auras. This is what The Matrix was about, it's the same thing as Neo seeing 1's and 0's. (The original name of the movie was "The Third Eye"). Plato tried to explain this with his allegory of the cave and the world of ideas. What science is trying to do here, is collecting emperical evidence within the virtual world, while auras are beyond this virtual world. You first need to exist the cave before you can see, break out of the matrix.

Good point spaceexplorer, we can't prove auras. Why is that? Because they don't exist. There have been plenty of experiments to test Auras. One simple one, was to get the person who claimed to see Auras (you can do this yourself at home try it), to pick two people with very different Auras. Then you get those two people to walk into the other room, leaving the door open. They will then stand to the side of the door (hidden by the wall), but close enough so that the aura should be visible through the doorway by the "aura seer". Taking it in random turns to stand by the doorway... it should be a simple matter for the Aura Seer, to see the colour of the Aura through the doorway and say which person is there. Can they? Nope, under hundreds of experiments, no-one, absolutely no-one has ever been able to pass this simple test.

I've experienced this effect by staring at speakers who stand in the same position so long, that an image begins to burn into my eyes. I always thought that this whole "seeing aura's" kind of thing was somewhat flimsy.

I think that a lot of what gets associated with the aura is inaccurate, as mentioned already...seeing an after image or seeing the inversion of a certain color. However, this is very different from seeing a person's true aura. I've tried to see auras before with little result...however I do have one friend who single handedly makes me believe that auras truly exist. This is because he is incredibly bright and seems to be surrounded in a brilliant white light. I would think I was imagining things if I hadn't witnessed strangers approach him on the street just about everywhere he goes and comment about how bright he is. I think all the major religious figures are depicted throughout history as being surrounded in this same bright light, aura, or halo. I have no doubt that people with higher vibrational frequencies have bright auras which can be seen or sensed by just about anyone. But in general, I think most people's auras are too dim to be seen by anyone who isn't extremely sensitive, well practiced, gifted or has psychic abilities.

Nope, under hundreds of experiments, no-one, absolutely no-one has ever been able to pass this simple test. That is because an aura is not an actual color like how it is with (sun)light, but a translation of how someone feels, into a color. So the color here is a metaphor for someone's energy. And oh hey, a welcome back to Aquanina

And oh hey, a welcome back to Aquanina So are you saying its just a fancy way for saying what mood someone is in? I can't see why that would effect that particular experiment. If the seer themselves chooses two people who have distinctly different auras (either in colour or mood, or whatever you wish to call it), they should still be able to "see" that aura without the person themselves being visible. Otherwise, it becomes all a bit silly and meaningless.

The aura is in the imagination, if someone is behind a wall and you can't see the person the aura won't shine around the corner as the imagination creates the aura. Without seeing the person, the aura won't be created in the imagination. I hope you see how misleading scientific experiments can be if they don't know the nature of what they are investigating. So it's all just imagination? How does that make sense? I know, its pretty unbelievable, but I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I could give you a few theories, but in the end science hasn't figured this out yet. They are exactly stuck at this point with the unexpainable wave-particle duality... the act of observing changes reality. The world is still full of mysteries.

I could give you a few theories, but in the end science hasn't figured this out yet. They are exactly stuck at this point with the unexpainable wave-particle duality... the act of observing changes reality. The world is still full of mysteries. Well it makes sense a LOT. It's in the imagination... it's a fictional mental phenomena. If you have to see the person to see the aura, and the aura tells you about their "mood" or "feelings", then, let's just accept, that you can tell someones mood and feelings by their body language. Sure maybe somepeople have a kind of bodylanguage Synesthesia, but thats all it could ever be. The very fact that you are required to see the person, to be able to establish their aura, negates the need for an aura. It's like saying "i can read books without reading them, but i have to be staring at the page to do it." It makes no sense. Anyhow, i've heard psychics claim they can see auras in pitch darkness, so that contradicts what you are saying. Those psychics themselves should be able to pass the doorway test, yet they cant. I am open to the idea of a mental phenomena that creates body language Synesthesia, that seems plausable. It would be a non psychic explanation for Auras. But personally i think its a combination of optical illusions, self delusions/delusions of grandure, cold reading, empathy and peoples need to believe there is some kind of soul.
