i think your friends right. it sounds like your begining to pick up some auras.

Hi Analyze,
While Im starting to beleive in this sorta stuff, when I read about your aura thing, it sounds like a completely normal visual effect. Youll find if you stare at a black shape over a white background youll see it the easiest. Its just something to do with the light "burning" into your eyes. I think its similar to the phenomena where you if you look at the sun (dont do it tho haha) you get suns spots in your eyes. Youll also find if you stare at a black shape over a white background, then move the shape and stay looking at the white background, youll still be able to see its outline. You can even find tests and eye tricks in books and probably on the net that create optical illusions. Also if you look at say an orange object over a white background then take it away youll get the opposite (?) colour show up, in this case blue.
I wouldnt say this disproves any astral sight stuff though, I swear I saw my astral hands last night while doing energy work. I read in Bruces book that if youve been meditating and try and move your astral hands in front of your face with your eyes closed you can see them... It wasnt easy and I didnt seem to have complete control over it, but I swear I saw them

Cheers

I'm seen those illusions before.  they're all the same size as the object, and they don't move unless you move.

I'm mightily confused.  I've had, for the last...oh...around 4 months but maybe more or less, not more than 6 I should think, a tendency to see things.  for example I can stare at a book I have standing up right next to me on my desk, and see...a shadow around it and outside the shadow, something not unlike light.  it looks like a solar eclipse or something.  then at other times it's just a ring or a halo around whatever object or person I'm seeing it around.  this "light" or whatever it is reminds me of the colors you see when you close your eyes.  the rings around things have no color...well I take that back just now the ring around the book turned blue in one part...recently (last month or two), when I look for it it's been appearing in my vision with my eyes open.  I'm nearsighted and my eyes are supposed to get worse...but other than this they seem fine at arm's length.  I have a friend who's trying to tell me I'm seeing energy or auras or something, and as much as I would like to beleive that, I'm extremely uncomfortable with beleiving it...largely because I want to so much that I'm afraid it could affect my logic and lead me to conclusions that aren't true...I don't want to end up crazy.  I have been working with chakra developement on and off for a few months and the easiest by far to feel is my brow chakra. I can cause pressure and tingling there at will...that could also be some weird control of my sinuses or something...what do you guys think? and if this is something more than bad vision and wishful thinking what do I do to get better at it? little yellow halos are somewhat interesting but not especially useful or informative.

Well your friend is right if you can see colours around objects then it's their aura.. I mean if you stare on colours and see their negative colour like "blue - yellow, red - green, purple - gold..." then it's the aura surrounding the objects. If you can see it too on living things like humans and plants then you have a good auric sight. You said you don't wanna get crazy so let me fix you out! - nothing is crazy with using your energy! just ppl who don't know the reality think it's strange and crazy and I call them "normal ppl" because I am sure that energy practisers are much than normals.. some of us are abnatural it's amazing.
Anyways, never don't think you'll get crazt just by practising your energy. If you heard about ppl who got crazy from psychic exercises that means that they just thought difference then "normal" ppl but at least they thought in the RIGHT way!
Good luck to you!
