I was reading Robert Bruce's article on them and I decided to give it a go. My very first try and I saw it! I did this three times more with different colours and saw the colour I was supposed to see each time. For my 4th one, I was looking at a green book and i thought i was meant to see blue but orange came up and orange was meant to so I know I didn't just imagine seeing what I wanted to see. Anyways, I know this is off topic but does anybody know any other websites that have a fair bit of information on Auras? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This typically causes you to see specific colors when you look at a blank white wall afterwards. Depending on the shade, looking at green could cause a red or orange afterimage, red would cause a green or blueish afterimage, blue would tend to make an orange or yellow afterimage and vice versa, etc. -- If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.--Despair, Inc.

Bruce does go to some trouble to distinguish between color auras and human auras. What he discribes as a human aura (swirls of color and light) matches very well with the one that I saw. I guess I'll suspend judgement on this one for the time being. :-) Coincidentally, there is someone on the Art Bell show tonight who will be discussing auras (is that another hit, or what?!) ###### From: Janice Newsgroups: alt.out-of-body Subject: Re: Slightly Off Topic - Auras Message-ID: References: <3b2db2a9.9527681@news.lynx.net> <3b2d55da@news.newszilla.com> <3b2d5974@news.newszilla.com> X-Newsreader: MicroPlanet Gravity v2.50 Lines: 33 NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2001 02:21:04 CDT Organization: Giganews.Com - Premium News Outsourcing X-Trace: sv3-j2z98iZoThShNv7PyIftDvMTEslkjagJx19ThKu5h07K4QUuE+I8eoDrOGK8l/e/AJdB3TXBImkCwdi!g868q11gw8hiiPs8AsToZa66CJ9C87c2wOrXYanQ0LeXoNNovJ6KBOVHQwppCF9oD9WGdVG2+34y!04Xcle0Y2w== X-Complaints-To: abuse@GigaNews.Com X-DMCA-Notifications: http://www.giganews.com/info/dmca.html X-Abuse-Info: Please be sure to forward a copy of ALL headers X-Abuse-Info: Otherwise we will be unable to process your complaint properly Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2001 03:23:35 -0400 Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news-ge.switch.ch!newsfeed00.sul.t-online.de!t-online.de!news-spur1.maxwell.syr.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsfeed.direct.ca!look.ca!nntp.giganews.com!nntp3.aus1.giganews.com!news6.giganews.com.POSTED!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch alt.out-of-body:68333 In article <3b2d5974@news.newszilla.com>, dorthd@televar.com says... > I saw the 'aura' of a friend one time and it was very different than the > after-image effect that you get after staring at something for awhile.

He doesn't make a distinction, evidently; He did go into a rather new-agey theory about how the visual information is processed under the different conditions and that "seeing" auras is something that can be learned.

No, no chlorine. The colors were more less superimposed over and all around him and seemed to flare out a few inches. ("flare" really isn't the right word, but I can't think of another at the moment). It wasn't the typical after-image caused from staring, nor did it resemble the sort of "halo" effect you sometimes see around an object that's in front of a contrasting background. The different colors were intermixed and swirling around in interesting patterns. The effect lasted for a few minutes and was quite lovely. > > Coincidentally, there is someone on the Art Bell show tonight who will be > > discussing auras (is that another hit, or what?!) > > It's a hit! > > -- > > If at first you don't succeed, > failure may be your style.--Despair, Inc. > > My homepage: http://sites.netscape.net/jayavogelsong/ > > The alt.out-of-body newsgroup homepage: > http://www.geocities.com/janice240obe/index.html ###### From: Janice Newsgroups: alt.out-of-body Subject: Re: Slightly Off Topic - Auras Message-ID: References: <3b2db2a9.9527681@news.lynx.net> <3b2d55da@news.newszilla.com> <3b2d5974@news.newszilla.com> <3b2ee3fc@news.newszilla.com> X-Newsreader: MicroPlanet Gravity v2.50 Lines: 59 NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 05:39:03 CDT Organization: Giganews.Com - Premium News Outsourcing X-Trace: sv3-Bfo1VRWVUrZoSVtbGN9z4PHBdXk8DkPh1Th6+nOhn8bDnl4h7TPBw5V7/Ic4oKIedQXsyEzlszLKeEE!23VSS1imBj7EJgTKyCKwNrHRECaWyGCuls8N2imN8mlMVdUlaX3uSFD7eTat5QDQv20fIfVrRf9M!yPQj1N/5+w== X-Complaints-To: abuse@GigaNews.Com X-DMCA-Notifications: http://www.giganews.com/info/dmca.html X-Abuse-Info: Please be sure to forward a copy of ALL headers X-Abuse-Info: Otherwise we will be unable to process your complaint properly Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 06:41:35 -0400 Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news-ge.switch.ch!news.maxwell.syr.edu!howland.erols.net!portc.blue.aol.com.MISMATCH!portc01.blue.aol.com!nntp2.aus1.giganews.com!nntp3.aus1.giganews.com!news6.giganews.com.POSTED!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch alt.out-of-body:68381 In article <3b2ee3fc@news.newszilla.com>, dorthd@televar.com says... > "Janice" wrote in message > news:MPG.159776833c7bf268989822@news.starlinx.com... > > In article <3b2d5974@news.newszilla.com>, dorthd@televar.com says... > > > > > I saw the 'aura' of a friend one time and it was very different than the > > > after-image effect that you get after staring at something for awhile. > Bruce > > > does go to some trouble to distinguish between color auras and human > auras. > > > > What does he actually say about "color auras"? > > Just that the phenomenon of the after-image is the "aura" of the color > itself, as opposed to the object that is so colored.

However, I merely made a very simple comment based on the answer to my question as provided by someone I trust who did read the article. If a researcher makes a big paranormal deal out of a perfectly normal phenomenon like afterimages, it is *not* good for his or her credibility--it makes it less likely that anyone skeptically minded will take anything else the researcher says seriously, even if they may otherwise deserve it. That said, I took a look at his color chart on http://home.tower.net.au/~rsb/guides/auras/auras_4.htm and the "auras" of colors listed are indeed pretty much the colors one would see as normal afterimages. This is actually a fun phenomenon to play with; I can remember drawing a green, brown and yellow American flag as a kid which I would stare at, then look at a blank wall to generate a ghostly flag in the right colors. :) -- In the battle between you and the world, bet on the world.--Despair, Inc.
