Your mind likes tricking itself.

No I don't see the problem with this. You could argue that all perceived reality is a trick of the mind anyway.
 
I am a skeptic of the worst kind, but i can tell you that auras are real. There is conclusive scientific evidence that they exist and can be seen

LOL
 
How do you describe it when a person walks into a room and everybody notices or feels his/her presence and is drawn to that person? (full clothed...)

Charisma. You're not serious though are you, Mickilicks? People respond to body language among other stuffs.
 
Nope they did a test. They put real people and mannekins behind white sheets so that their silhouettes could be seen.

And would you believe it, the mannekins had auras too!

Nice sidestep there, Deepak. ;)

No but seriously, do you accept the truth claims behind everyone who says they 'experienced' something? Psychics, people who claim to have been to heaven, mediums, reikki practitioners etc.?

I did say there were a lot of shysters out there. I accept the truth of MY experiences, which went against my beliefs at the time. That's all there is to trust, really. Never been to heaven, so I don't believe heaven exists. I'm not going by other peoples' word here.

I'm also a qualified reiki practitioner, but I went that route as a result of other energy work experiences I'd had.

What were your experiences? Will you not even entertain the possibility of having bamboozled yourself?

And doesn't it bother you that it's failed, repeatedly, in objective experiments?

Do you buy into all the tosh behind it?

No, but seriously do you categorically write off everyone who says they experienced something as naive un-enlightened simpletons ?

Nope.
You can't disprove something like this experimentally. You can only fail to find proof that it's there... and that could be experimental error.

Yup, I do. Works for me. Funny, that. And you know what, even if it's placebo, it does good, and no harm. So where is the problem?

Well yeah, you can. See my post above. Do mannekins also have auras?

Experimental method error, confirmation bias, whatever.
Let me get this straight. You're saying that because someone saw an aura where there shouldn't be one, that there's no such thing as auras?
