Hi, I'm new around here.

I've been mucking around with this aura vision thing. I managed to trick myself into believing I had succeeded, but after experimenting, I then realized that it was just an after image. Needless to say, I was not impressed...

So I came across this website, and read all the articles on aura vision, including the one on after images. On there, the person claims that an after image takes at least 20 seconds to form. Well for me, they can form instantly. I loaded up the aura vision tester on this site, and I did a little experiment. Sure enough, I could get the after image effect to happen almost immediately. I looked at the blue square for a couple seconds, then looked at the grey field, and a yellow square followed my vision.I tried again with a red square, and again, I got a square (cyan) which followed my vision around.

So the idea of a 20 second time limit to prevent me from making this mistake will not work for me... I also considered just making sure my eyes didn't move, so the after image wouldn't streak into the part I was gazing at, but that's next to impossible. Your eyes are almost constantly moving, unless you focus on a fine detail of something, which is exactly what you're not supposed to do from what I am told.

I am almost ready to say that this is a bunch of baloney. Just about everything people claim to be able to see can be explained with the after image effect.The colors you are supposed to see are even the same as the color you get from an after image (eg. yellow from blue).However, there are still a few things that wouldn't make sense, like the different colors over the same person simultaneously.

Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Welcome to Astral Chat! / James Randi - Why?

James Randi is a snake.He even admits it: "I am a theif, charlatan, scoundrel, trickster, (etc etc.) all rolled into one". Well... it was something to that extent... Ever read about the Yellow Bamboo incident? First a guy is sent down there, and tests out their telekinesis claims. They check out positive (he was knocked down by one of them). Suddenly, a bunch of BS comes up "oh, it wasn't an authorized test, so we can't do this", and then "we're cutting off all communications with the Yellow Bamboo group".

HAHAHA! Oh that was rich manuel! Soooooooo true.

Anyone notice how these so called "skeptics" will fiercely argue against the side of an issue they don't like, and ingnore everything to do with the other side? I thought a skeptic was supposed to reserve judgement BOTH ways!
