Auras - Real ?

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I hear fairies have the best auras.

 

[Pox]

And this applies to love, justice, truth, beauty, goodness?

The effects of all of those can be detected and to some degree quantisezed.
If something cannot be detected to either directly or indirectly have an impact on the physical world then please explain to me why I shouldn't just dismiss it.

 

[Arthur]

No one ever claimed that love can cure cancer.

Of course not. Cancer is physical. Love isn't.

The underlying question is: is all of reality physical? Put another way, is material existence the only form of existence?

We're back to basics.

I detect an incoming definition argument....
Has any proof been made of the existance of auras...no?
K. Done with discussion.

Please define 'auras'.

Only hearsay.

 

[Claymore]

Of course not. Cancer is physical. Love isn't.

Sure love is physical; it's all in the electrochemical reactions in the brain. It can even be detected and monitored, to a degree, unlike auras.

 

[SauRoNZA]

That's not even Homeopathy working in 'the manner in which it is applied'. That's basic compassion, long-term caring, being considerate etc. working.

Yeah for sure.

But I just mean it's the same way in that God doesn't need to exist or have any bearing on the world for believers to be better off just by virtue of the fact the they believe he is there.

I see it as psychological crutch either way.

 

[porchrat]

Only hearsay.

Well I've seen fairy auras and they are indeed the best.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Well I've seen fairy auras and they are indeed the best.

Just ignore the "skeptics"

 

[Arthur]

Well I've seen fairy auras and they are indeed the best.

With evidence like that, who can deny it.

 

[YAHsGeneral]

LOL!

 

[ShaunSA]

Well I've seen fairy auras and they are indeed the best.

I thought I was the only one seeing Ockie's aura

Re Aura's

Biomagnetism is the phenomenon of magnetic fields produced by living organisms; it is a subset of bioelectromagnetism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagnetism

The heart is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the human body, producing the largest rhythmic electromagnetic field of any of the body’s organs. The heart’s electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain. This field, measured in the form of an electrocardiogram (ECG), can be detected anywhere on the surface of the body. Furthermore, the magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5,000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain, and can be detected a number of feet away from the body, in all directions, using SQUID-based magnetometers

Colour is simply an electromagnetic frequency.
If all organs in the body function on various electromagnetic frequencies, then each organ would have a different colour, and any organ not functioning correctly would show a change in colour.
This being the basis upon which auric's claim diagnosis of illness in the body.

Regarding Auric's one may consider Synesthesia:

Synesthesia (or synaesthesia) is loosely defined as "senses coming together," which is just a translation of the Greek (etymology: syn - together, esthesia from aesthesis - sensation). At its simplest level, synesthesia means that when a certain sense or part of a sense is activated, another unrelated sense or part of a sense is activated concurrently. For example, when someone hears a sound, he or she immediately sees a color or shape in his or her "mind's eye."

There are about 63 different types of synesthesia:

The ability to "see" or "read" another persons aura, could simply be a certain sub-set of Synesthesia, no different in reality to a small sub-set of people who, have, say colour blindness.

Not that difficult to accept or understand.

Without evidence it is pretty difficult to accept. Especially when we have aura readers detecting human auras in mannequins.

Except, of course, for the tiny matter of synesthetic perception being a product of the observer's own neurological pathways. There is nothing to suggest that what synesthetics observe exists objectively. So we're back to square one, really. Subjective experience does not constitute grounds for objective claims.
