Children seeing auras

Just wondering if it was because of the Homeland Security Act. At the least, I think it would be another note in my file.

Here in Maryland, what would happen to the car that had a differently colored flag in the window? The ignorant rednecks here would probably think I'm supporting gay marriage in Israel or something and break a window. I have a friend in San Diego who had a 'Chargers Suck' (they do, it's true) sign on his car and it got vandalized.

I know free-speech is protected but I recall from high school learning that WW2 protestors were still charged with treason, sedition, etc back in the 40's. Students were attacked at Kent State, etc.

Eh, getting off-topic.

Naturally, there would be controls.

Perhaps a farady cage or a sealed compartment would block an aura?

I don't believe in auras, but I know adults who say they see auras. I don't think they are liars, I think they are deluded. I admit I don't know what they are seeing.
 
IIRC, the seening of Auras is a symptom of some medical conditions...check w/ a MD.

As Roger goes quiet (ostensibly off to some conference), so Carla goes quiet too. Just a coincidence, no doubt.

Abdul Alhazred & Jeff Corey,

If all phenomena had been discovered, then it would acceptable to state that a reported phenomena was correct or not.

But all phenomena have not been discovered and therefore whenever a group of people report a phenomena, all that can be said is that it has not yet been demonstrated to be correct or not. After all “Science” is only the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.

Further, just because the phenomena cannot be observed or measured using current technology does not mean that it cannot be done, it means we cannot do it with present day available technology, assuming that the use of technology is the appropriate means to undertake the measurement or observation. For example, we still don’t have the technology to observe another’s dream.

You only have to refer to recent history to sight many examples of “scientists” making statements that were later proven to be incorrect.

Rolfe,

Not all of us are Forum centric, and you could also assume that perhaps I was unable to access the net over the week-end, in a different time zone etc.

Steen,

I provided the material as “background reading” not as definitive proof. That said, the leaders in this research have been the Russians for quite some time, but I don’t believe you can state their science to be any more or less valid that the “west”.

Loki,

I’m not sure that aura are light as such, although it is seen as colours it would appear to be a view of an energy field. Regarding the best conditions, I need to ask some people a few questions first.

Geni,

I don’t purport to understand the phenomena, I am simply stating that it exists. That said, why would it necessarily violate the first law of thermodynamics?

Actually, I do. There is a steady stream of nonsense science coming from Russia, where they apparently accept all kinds of paranormal phenomena as scientifically proved. Just take a look at Randi's commentaries to see how bad it is.

It seems that during the long dark years of Communism they lost their critical sense. The name "Lysenko" also comes to mind.
 
Ed, regarding the bathroom stalls that you brought up. One can tell if they are occupied by your famous "sniff test". ;)

If you are suggesting there is some form of energy field aroound people then where dfoes the energy come from?

Glaucoma, but I suspect other disorders can cause the effect. If you meet someone that sees "auras" get their ass to an opthimologist (the kind that went to med school) fast as hell.

So then, if one takes a child into a restroom the child will be able to reliably tell you which stalls are unoccupied? Wanna bet?

Yep. We'll use my son. He's only two. There wouldn't be many stall doors he couldn't see under ;)

And another thing. I have no doubt my son would tell me he saw an aura around me if I asked him the right way. Hell, today he was delighted when he was able to saw my arm off with his plastic saw, he drank from a teapot that wasn't there, and he ate a meal with his invisible grandmother who was 200km away.

And that's just between dinner and bedtime.

Give me a week and I'll have him telling me whether my aura's "wittol" or "BIG" and whether it's "lelloo" or "poople".

And for many that float beyond reality, that would constitute proof.
 
Why is the age cutoff for seeing auras the age of 7? Do children suddenly get "civilised" on their 8th birthday?

Anyway, I asked my 8 year old son to do the cell phone/aura test. He looked at me like I'm nuts.
 
Sorry...early for me when I posted.

No, he couldn't tell if my cell phone was on or off, nor could he see any aura around me. We only did the one test. It was early for him, too.

My 7 year old niece came over and I re-tried the test (figuring she's still in the magic 7 and under category). She got it right once, then failed on 4 more trials. She thought it great fun, but couldn't see any auras either.
 
Hmm, I really hope you didn't miss the joke (you know, mental conditions show up in auras, looked at you like you were nuts...)

I asked ny son (2 and a half) about auras. I don't think he saw them. His reply was "Play cars Daddy?"

On other occassions, he's responded with "Cookie", "Play blocks?", "Bonk!", "Go outside?", "Oreos!", "Kool-aid", and various sound effects and/or giggling.

I'm thinking my results are negative.
 
Yup...I missed the joke. I didn't know mental conditions showed up in auras.

I had someone read my aura once long ago (when I was young and a believer). The aura reader that I had been sick recently. When I told her that I had been in very good health, she changed the answer to "I was going to become ill in the near future.

It may have gone out of fashion now. Depending on the particular brand of woo, there's almost anything that can be read from auras. Some say physical conditions, some say future (as in your case), some say mental only, some say everything, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
 
geni,

If you are suggesting there is some form of energy field aroound people then where does the energy come from?

Very good question! Where does the energy come from that keeps life forms alive?
 
Ooh...does that mean if I had my aura read right now someone would see the Ding Dong I just ate?

Mmmm...Ding Dongs
