I've been close to only three people I'd be content to celebrate with the honorific, "Genius!"
One is a painter of stupendous gifts -- in particular an engaging visual imagination so distinctively her own that it seems to me everything she's ever done would only be produced by her. She is also unpretentious, no posing, no "sides" to worry about -- none of the "complexity" one might expect. And yet, oh how she "sees"! She once told me there are people whose "aura" she can see -- literally. When this thread arose on the forum, I asked her to describe her "aura" experiences. Stella has a mind very different from mine, and I admit I cannot accept any of her "explanatory" remarks, but I don't doubt for a minute the sincerity of her descriptions of her own "experiences". Here, for what it's worth to those interested in "auras", is what she wrote me: "We all have an aura. It is a field around us, like electricity, and it is coloured. People who can read auras can see illness ahead of time by looking at the colours in the aura. The idea is that we have, I think it's 7, bodies and only one is the physical one we see. A great deal can be learned from studying these forces that emanate from us. I have seen photographs that actually show this, taken by scientists. A rather wonderful psychic once told me how to see auras, but I only ever got e fleeting glimpse. (It's one of the things I plan to practise when I am old and have a lot of TIME!) You have to look far far into the distance and focus. Then you pull your centre of focus back until you bring it to the third eye, (in the centre of your forehead). It is from here that you see auras." ************** AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs. Search Now.
