Auras / inSelf Yoga™
The concept of auras was in the West for some time now but undoubtedly Leadbeater of the Theosophy Society made it popular and defined it with his numerous full color diagrams in books which he published long before we knew anything about the Internet.
A few days ago, while speaking to a student, it was brought to my attention that some of the students are into auras and consider their experiences while practicing to be that of auras.
Okay we cannot contest someone else’s experience but I have to make it clear that for the purpose of inSelf Yoga™ we are not concerned with the aura. Suppose there was a lit lightbulb, such that the light from the filament went out beyond the edge of the glass of bulb. Then that light which goes out would be the aura. It would of course have a limit as to how far out that light would spread. A two watt bulb would not spread light as far as a two hundred watt bulb.
But suppose we made a light bulb which no matter now intense the light of filament was that light never went further than the glass of the bulb. Then what?
Suppose I design a two watt filament but I encase it in a jet black glass enclosure, then no light from that filament would go beyond the glass enclose. The result will be that there is no aura. Now suppose I return to the laboratory and design a two thousand watt filament. I then enclose that also in a jet black glass enclosure. Then again even though this bulb is one thousand time brighter, still none of its light should go outside of that glass enclosure. What happened?
Well if you can figure that out, then you would have some idea about inSelf Yoga™. In this yoga we suppress the aura because it is a distraction and it prevents us from understanding what the core-self is and how that self is related to the psychic adjuncts.
