I can read AURAS!!

I met this guy at radio shack who could read auras really well. I came in to buy a cell phone and had to wait a while to get it activated. While we waited his co-workers were telling me he reads auras. So I played along and asked him to read my aura. I'd basically told him my name and my birthdate, thats it. From this he deduced that I lived far away from my parents and that my mom misses me very badly. I knew my mom missed having me around but I figured he just guessed it since I was a college student.

Then I got home and my mom had left a message on my machine saying she's worried that I haven't called in a few days...

Coincidence? Maybe...but none the less it is weird.
 
People do not have single, uniform color auras. The shapes and colors vary greatly, and two people with similar colors do not necessarily have similar personalities. I wouldn't trust those aura color books -- follow your intuition instead. Rocks, trees, and pretty much everything else also has an "aura"
 
SWScorch - I don't know how to describe how I see the auras.. if I'm actually looking for one it's harder to see.. it's more like something you see out of the corner of your eye, but if I talk to someone I can get a better feel for it. Part of it could be described as the color of their after-image they leave on my mind's eye, and part of it is a physical perception of temperature.. People with bright auras exude warmth to me, people with green/blue/translucent auras are "cooler" and people with dark/black auras send chills down my spine.

Jfur - You're completely right, people can change colors very often, which is why I don't use that book as gospel.. I just use it as a "quick reference" so to speak.. Interestingly enough I can't see auras for inanimate/non-human objects.. maybe my vision isn't sensitive enough.. That's why I have trouble with very light or dark auras. Also, the book isn't really a "personality assessment" one, more like a general rundown of how you can expect the person to behave in certain situations.. so far it's batting 1.000 but I'm sure I'll meet people who are exceptions to the rule.. come to think of it, I have.. my friend's ex-b/f was a total jerkwad.. I saw him as red/black before he even said a word to me, and before I knew anything about him. The more he talked the more visible his aura became. I was really uncomfortable talking to him. *shiver*

I mean, at a given time, a person or thing does not have a single color, but often 3 or 4. The shape of light is also not uniform.. For best effect, get your subject in front of a white background. Focus on their forehead just below the hairline and "lose focus" -- you should get better results then.

lol... Jfur is playing with him.😀
 
I don't really know what you are seeing. I know a woman who sees "sound" as colors, and have communicated with a guy on the west coast with the same ability, and the same sounds. These two have Perfect Pitch, and this is called Synaethesia.

A very famous case of this is Kazan Saragvev. This link will show a table of colors associated with pitch.

I wonder if the "aura" might be something similar, where you are seeing color associated with what another of your senses is legitimatley picking up. Is there any real information out there?

I'm actually not kidding. Everything has an "aura" -- I don't think it's mystical, although I have not investigated whatever scientific pronciple is behind it. I definitely don't think that if two people have reddish auras it necessarily means they have other attributes in common. Just as I don't believe that two people born on the same day of November are "scorpionic". I think it has to do with how one focuses the eyes, certain lighting conditions, etc. But many people see the same thing at the same time. So there is some objectivity there -- although I do not know the significance.

Just for fun, try the technique I outlined above. Notice if you start to see light and color aroung the shoulder and head of your subject. Try it for a few minutes and be serious. Or try staring at something in dim light -- you'll prbably "see" things then, too.

I believe in astrology to an extent, though few people I know exhibit all traits of their given "sign".
Auras, however, I think are a much more accurate descriptor of a person's behavior, because it is their personal energy field, not one randomly assigned to them by birth, etc. As people change, so do their auras so I think that if you take two people with auras of the same color you'll find a lot of similarities. Like I said earlier though, I see auras best as a "stain" of color when I close my eyes, but it doesn't happen all the time. I do find it easier though when in a dimly lit environment without a lot of colors. colorful clothing tends to throw me off a lot.

Amazing Randi Paranormal Challenge

Actually, I saw James Randi (famous paranormal/esp debunker) on a tv show, and there was a woman on with him that claimed see could see auras. So he asked her, to 'read' an aura of one person, and describe it. She said it was a certain color, and six inches wide or something.

Then, he took the aura reader out of the room, and placed three portable wall-like structures in the room that were two inches taller than the person with the aura. The subject stood behind one of the walls, and the aura reader was brought back in. She was asked where the subject was, and of course couldn't. If the subject had a six inch aura, it should have been very noticeable above the wall.

Seems like a reasonable, scientific test...try it at home.

 


<< What does that book say about dark, midnight blue? I think I can see it shining out of me right now >>



Dark blue / indigo is usually reserved for children and young adults.. it's very unfocused energy.. personally indigo auras creep me out. Stay away.

Ha ha, Randi is always amusing. I would love to have seen the "psychic's "reaction -- but that experiment assumes that 1) auras are "paranormal", and 2) they are distinct entities in their own right (that is are viewable outside of direct sight.

We play games every so often at work, getting groups of Spocklike people to see auras. Most are surprised to find that they can! One good experiemnt is to have everyone focus on the same thing and then quitely write down what they are seeing. Then all of the written statements are compared. It still does not explain what or why something was seen, but there has been a high correlation (even among the skeptical) when we tried this. Perhaps others will try, too, and let us know? 🙂

 


<< Hey don't knock tantric sex.. When all the girls you've been with classify you as "living legend" you'll understand

DJHeater... my longest times were while I was on antidepressants.. that part is true. But I've been off all drugs for over a year and my average times haven't gone down that much. If my ex was online I'd get a chat log from her affirming my statements. >>



Alright, so you're a Tantric sex master who has been clinically depressed and reads auras. 😕

I can't guarantee you're full of it but if it walks like a duck....😉

All bow before the living legend............

🙂DNo harm intended😀)

Hey, you're just jealous you don't have superhuman powers. 😀
Trust me, I have better things to do than to lie to complete strangers.
If it makes you feel any better I'll give you a list of my shortcomings...oh, wait, I have none. I'm perfect. 😉
 


<< If it makes you feel any better I'll give you a list of my shortcomings...oh, wait, I have none. I'm perfect. 😉 >>



😉 Now you're preaching to the choir 😀

If it makes you feel any better I do believe and understand aura's. I do practice Reiki, Yoga and meditation although as regards the latter two I've been on hiatus since my kids were born..... Keep meaning to get back to it and can never find the time....

Not SUPERHAMAN -- ANY man can see auras (if he wants to) and any man can become a tantric adept (if he works at it). These are normal things, people... just out of the frame of reference of most current cultural systems.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but there is as far as I know NO cultural system in historical record that has attributed either of the abilities stated to anyone other than mystics. Perhaps you meant that the abilities were within the realm of the possible. However, to state that they are normal is, I contend, incorrect. James Randi has the better of us here 😉 what cannot be viscerally proved may as well not exist to those who do not seek it.
 
It is probably a mistake to declare that seeing an aura is complete hogwash, though it is certainly tempting. I am reminded of the dogs that can sense when someone is going to have seizures, the are trained to give their masters a signal to sit/lie down until the seizure is over. We do not know HOW they sense this, but they do. It is an ability not all dogs have, but is observable.

I commented earlier where we know of instances in some individuals where one sense responds to what another is picking up, in particular one hears a sound and sees a color. What if the "aura" was synaethesia, where color was seen in response to aroma. What if something similar to synaethesia occurred where some people pick up bits of subconscious body language they see color?

It could also be complete hogwash.
