would take the patients’ pulse, and I would look at their aura.
Before he gave his diagnosis, I would write mine on a piece of
paper. Then we would compare. This physician was quite famous,
seeing up to one hundred patients a day, which is not so
uncommon in India. This proved to be a respectable ‘sample’ to
make up our minds on how often we agreed. And we used to come
up with the same diagnosis in more than ninety percent of cases.
Now don't think you need to reach an advanced stage to do that
yourself. You hardly need to be able to see auras, just to get a
sense of them. Sit in a cafe in a busy street, go into the triple
process of vision and look at people passing by. Try to determine
if they are ‘vata’ or ‘pitta’, etc. Preferably get a friend to do the
same with you, so you can compare your findings. You will be
surprised how often you agree.
7.11 Trans-verbal communication
Sit in front of a friend and prepare for eye contact.
Plug your ears and implement the triple process of vision.
Then your friend says 5 sentences about himself. Each sentence is
repeated 3 times. Each time the friend starts with a new sentence,
he indicates the corresponding number with his fingers (sentence
1, sentence 2...) One of the sentences is false. Your task is to find
which of the sentences is the false one, with only the aura as a
reference.
Repeat the exercise, this time without plugging your ears. To
discern which statement is false, try to rely only on the aura and
not on what you hear.
Tips
- An enlightening conclusion is that you will sometimes get more
success by not listening at all and just looking at the aura, rather
than by analysing the content of the messages. - Don't hesitate to cheat and give more than one false statement,
to add to the sport!
7.12 More about seeingness
Let us take a few examples to understand more about ‘seeingness’.
Western esotericists, such as Rudolf Steiner and Max Heindel, have
described how in the distant past human beings had a very
different way of perceiving warmth. A kind of baggy organ was
on top of their heads. Nowadays this area corresponds to the
