Waking up... i think.
    #5848911 - 07/11/06 09:59 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I am so grateful to have found a message board where people are having these spiritual discussions!

I have been on the path toward awakening for close to a year now. At times I felt very alone, like people couldn't understand what I was experiencing, I couldn't talk to any of my friends about it and when I tried... they thought I was nuts!

So I'm so grateful to have found this messageboard.

Anyways.

I meditate every night before bed. Lately, I've began to see "Auras" around just about everything. It's stronger sometimes than other times. Sometimes I have to just look at an object and I'll see a white glow around it. Other times it's just there without me having to even concentrate on the object or person.

Could some of you more enlightened folk give me some advice and tips that may help further my process?

Continue your meditation.  Read daily.  Voyage to the nether realms of psychedelia.  Most importantly -- never think you're 'crazy' for wanting to go deeper.  The deeper you go, the more you grow! :smile:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Well, we've recently been suffering from a downward trend in content, so please bear with us... feel free to continue contributing! All I ask is that you try to be coherent and full of purpose, as certain individuals have been turning everything into a disorientated nothingness, and I haven't had the time or inclination to restore balance. :lol:

Perhaps "path toward awakening" isn't the best term to represent what you are expressing, as waking up is a singular event. :grin: Maybe you are speaking of a path of increasing one's level of awareness? :thumbup:

Quote:

Awareness is not something that is very evident in Western civilization, which greatly explains the state of Western civilization. :grin: I'd suggest continuing to relate to others with a sense of a commonly shared level... the meeting point between all involved, but yet, at the same time, maintaining the higher sense of awareness of the relationship. Awareness will enable you to more effectively interact with others to the benefit of yourself, your growth, and also theirs - but don't try to change others. Simply maintain awareness and awareness will subtly, subsequently spread forth on its own, through the interaction.

It is a form through which a few have truly built an understanding of the nature of reality and expressed it and shared it with others. It has its moments, in other words. :wink:

Quote:

I don't meditate much, but I would suggest meditating when you wake up as well. Taking a few minutes to really set a good state of mind will have a profound effect on the rest of your day's experience.

When one is more aware, one is more directly perceiving reality in the present moment, as reality occurs. To directly perceive reality means that one is more conscious of the sensory information that is being collected by one's sensory devices. Its almost as though one's senses take on additional dimensions, dependant on how much awareness is involved.

Quote:


Could some of you more enlightened folk give me some advice and tips that may help further my process?




If one wishes to become more aware, then one must actively program one's mind in order for it to be more able to conduct higher levels of awareness. Remove all unnecessary mental abstraction that obstructs one's direct perceptions by draining one's consciousness to power it. Center in one's being... the mind is a tool that we use to navigate reality, but it is not something in which our identity exists. Don't identify with the mind's sense of identity, but become aware of the present moment, in which the self defines itself.

Remember, awareness. Conduct it. :thumbup:

I don't know if you can call light reflecting off objects auras, or you may be seeing things with an altered mind, I would only think it peculiar if the light emitted was very vivid

It would be remarkable if the aura's you are seeing made you question the knowlege you have of them....

It'd be more remarkable if he simply realized that such simply results from an increase in his awareness of his perceptions, and then shrugged, and simply enjoyed the increase, instead of focusing upon the way certain light looks and striving to know more about it. Once you are to the point that you are conceptualizing about "auras" and other such nonsense, then you are already lost...

With awareness, this is something to be avoided.

if you feel like you're just waking up then be careful: lots of poeple have opinions. the only way to wake up more (in my opinion) is to continue to study what you see and verify anything new you learn. don't take other poeple's views as neccassarily being wiser than your own.

Auras Are like the rippling of water moving past a boulder in a stream... at least that is how I would conceptualize part of what I see. To me the aura is radiated energys in the form of heat, scattered light, Bio electic fields. An aura is not something I can truly conceptualize at all! If I were to enter a room full of people I do not see a world of lucid colors or imagine a tapestry of fields...

Aura's hold more for me in regards to feeling rather than seeing. I don't know if I see color or anything like that.


I know that I have percieved aura's my whole existance, although it was not until I read about them that my mind began to imagine someone elses conception of them.
In essence, believing is seeing.

Think about your own aura and how it is affecting the world around you, but also feel its origin... the form of your aura is a result of your inner state. In anger, in love in apathy it is always dynamic, the more you are aware of your inward perception the more adept you will be at manipulation and control of your outward being.

take this with a grain of salt, as it's said, you'll be far better off asking someone what they think your aura looks like and comparing it to what you feel, than to tell someone you can see theirs.

Ultimately, then, the word "aura" is bunk as it simply refers to another's personality.

Personality is effective in representing the concept, thus, aura is completely unnecessary.

No, IMO, Aura are not bunk.
Unlike life after death, Aura can be proven. :wink:

And personally, I find them to be really interesting......
Back when I was younger, and the nett first caught on, I spent, literally, a year or more, reading about lucid dreams and auras.

Auras are REAL, what they are exactly and what they mean are anyones guess.
But they do exist, and, personally, I think I can "feel" anothers feelings(to some extent) via our auras.

IMO. :wink:

:lol:

So auras could be anything but they are assuredly real?

Not only that, but they can be proven? I admit that you neglected to elaborate further from your assertion, that, in the absence of any elaboration, is entirely baseless and should not be considered.

Um, like, if a word doesn't actually represent anything, then its bunk. :shrug:

Your aura is just the energy that comes off your body. Its very easy to learn to see you just have to try.

I admit that, when I hear phrases like "its easy to learn, you just have to try", I think that perhaps one is simply, actively deluding oneself... I've never seen energy radiate off of people, but then, I don't squint my eyes very hard... :wink:

Please, without the insults...


You actually have to try and see the fluctuation in energy fields between the inches above a persons head and the surrounding empty space. Easier to do in dim or darkened areas. Just concentrate on the space just above an energetic individuals head. You will probably notice the difference between that area and the empty space (air) further away from them. May take a little practice but I think just about anybody can see it. The aura is all around them but just above the head is where it is most apparent.

This is exactly why I remain skeptical about this. I close my eyes and all sorts of colors and lights float and drift about beneath my eyelids. Directing one's visual focus within a small amount of space between a certain object and a dark backdrop is likely going to produce similar results.

Unless you can validate that the perception of such energy is truly an energy field, and not simply produced by one's sensory devices? When I close my eyes and see morphing colors, I realize that it is incredibly likely that these colors are not actually an observation of reality, merely the effect of my eyes.

Your perception of reality is obviously for you to decide. I'm just sharing a simple way to achieve seeing the aura. As many think that it is some mystical thing that only special people can see... The effect is there, and not difficult to achieve.

I cannot provide you with any scientific evidence of such an energy field - not that one does not or will not exist. It just doesn't seem all that far fetched to me, and I can see it, so I just accept it.

"Your aura is just the energy that comes off your body."

Your body IS energy. Everything that exists is just the flow of energy. The body does not have an energy field. It IS an energy field.

To wake up: wake up.

So, what do you want from waking up? To love everyone? So love everyone. Be okay and calm in every situation? So do it, and if you are feeling extreme distress then just feel it and let it be there. There is peace. It is as available in this very moment as it ever has been or will be. Just do it, then you find there is nothing else that you had to do except say, "ok. So I'm going to actually do it."

This thread is just too cool... that Fireworks fellow really aint getting the picture though. Auras are so very much more than color could describe, its like hallucination, but not. Like a lucid pattern, but not. Almost apearing out of phase with its origin, taking form and depth without dimension.

And its always there, but we don't see it. Its passing through us, but we don't feel it. In general.
