The Auric Envelope: Its Constitution 3131 



transparent films of vari-colored vibrations, oscil- 

 lating with inconceivable velocity; thus the vision 

 of many people is very literally a " seeing through 

 the glass darkly." Let us have confidence always 

 in happy eyes, since their vision must ever be the 

 clearest, looking out as they do through pure, har- 

 monious, and refined emanations. 



A very delicate, trained psychic sight is required 

 in order to distinguish accurately hence with au- 

 thority the various emanations in the human 

 aura; but it is no uncommon thing now to be able 

 to see the coarser vibrations of the lower sheaths 

 and the five ribbon-like bands of Tattvic colors 

 (from Akasha to Prith'wi) forming a layer next 

 the skin, in which the geometrical forms of the vi- 

 brations flowing at the moment can be distin- 

 guished. These are beautifully and clearly de- 

 scribed by Dr. Marques in his Human Aura. 



Only as the clairvoyant develops personally the 

 Lower Manasic and Causal principles, is the psychic 

 power gained to see the auras of these higher 

 sheaths, for they are increasingly subtle and are 

 alone visible to like refinement of consciousness. 

 As psychic vision penetrates plane after plane, it 

 is as if veil after veil were removed. 



It is the desire aura, or emanations from the 

 'Kamic sheath, which extends from ten to twelve 

 inches outside the physical body, with which the 

 lowest grade of psychic sight is most familiar.
