Aura Notes
Friday, September 10, 20004 update

    The term aura refers to an emanation of light some people see around the heads and shoulders of others.
    The picture here is an aura photograph.  There is a link here to a page that explains a little about aura photography.
    Color is light, which is a manifestation of creation.   White light contains all colors in a state of perfect balance and purity.
    Light has been said to be the primary witness of creation.  Without light there would be no life, no existence.
    There are differences what aspects of light people can see.  We all know there are certain colors that color blind people can't see but don't seem to realize there are many more that hardly any of us see. 
    Just as people only hear a narrow band of sounds, people only see a narrow band of wavelengths as color –  red and violet and the colors between them.  However, it is known that beyond those in both directions there are many other colors.  It's been said that some are so bright and wonderful that one might be struck blind if they were to accidentally see them
    Few are aware of the colors that lie beyond the limited range our senses. There is one called an "F band" and some can see that as color.  Goldfish have been said to see four primary colors rather than just the three that people see.
    In the evolution of consciousness, it appears that our ability to see colors is expanding.  The longer wave of light, called red, is easier to see than colors on the other end of the spectrum where the waves are short, particularly where blue runs into indigo and violet.
    According to Heard, a great scholar, man's ability to see blue came much later than the ability to see red, yellow, and green.  It was said that natives of Africa referred to the Nile as brown, not blue.
    Homer described the Mediterranean Ocean as the "wine-dark sea."  Apparently that description involved one's seeing a tinge of red in what Heard referred to as the purple of the Mediterranean.  Yet, to us of today, the sea is predominantly blue.
    Aristotle said the rainbow had only three colors: red, yellow and green.
    Perspective also is apparently recent, so our eyes must gradually be undergoing a change or our brains are getting better at interpreting what we see.
    It's been said that people who manage to expand their understanding and consciousness can broaden their range of sight and thereby understand a little more.
    Although people are familiar with most of the colors auras contain, very few people are able to see auras.  A fairly new photographic art makes it possible to photograph auras and I'm including a separate aura photo with each of these pages on auras.  The links supplied will take you to the others.  A page explaining more about aura photography itself is included.
    Aura colors are a reflection of the person's thoughts and disposition.
    Sometimes points of light appear in or below the aura, as with the bright light in the lower right corner of the photo on my open aura page.  I've been told that point of light reflects ZendorDin, my intuition and the ongoing source of my inspiration.
    The outer rings of auras, like yesterdays, reflect the appearance of the colors of one's thoughts only as of that particular moment in time, thus are constantly changing.  However, there is almost at least one color in the inner portion of the aura that remains fairly constant.  You will be able to see that in the four photos of myself I've included in these pages.
  The colors in the outer bands of the aura change from instant to instant because they reflect the person's thoughts, which are always in a state of flux.  The colors in the inner bands of the aura are less transient because they represent temperament, disposition, and/or spiritual evolvement and growth.
    Aura colors manifest in bands – not unlike the color bands of a rainbow, and a color's meaning is sometimes somewhat dependent upon what band it is in.
    There are a lot of colors that have both positive aspects and negative ones, so it is important to know which aspect is being reflected in the aura.  Some colors in some locations reflect physical disorders and/or disease rather than thoughts or disposition, so it's important to avoid taking a simplistic approach to aura reading.
    Subtle differences in shades, densities, (and even some hues) can often be confusing, so are likely to be misinterpreted (particularly by well-meaning beginners in the art of aura reading).  
    Orange can be mistaken for gold or visa versa; and gold is sometimes thought to only be olive or tan, especially in photographs, because colors can't always be accurately represented by way of the photographic process used.
    Two totally different auras could appear to be similar to a person who is not adequately trained in aura analysis.
    A novice friend of mine once tried to tell me that white is absence of color and therefore bad.  In actuality white is all colors in perfect balance so is highly desirable.
    In ancient paintings of Jesus, he is shown emanating a pure white radiance rimed with gold.  It's only recently that many artists have taken to just paint his halo as a gold (or sometimes even yellow) ring floating above his head. 
    Consequently many people think of a halo as being a solid yellow ring, and some even think of it as metal.  White isn't even implied in such an image, and the meaning of yellow is completely different than the meaning of gold
    In actuality, a halo is not solid, not yellow, and not a ring.  The term halo is usually reserved as a reference to the appearance of the aura of a highly evolved spiritually advanced being.
