In the brain there exists a small and delicate organ known as the pineal gland, and it is thought by some scientists that this is responsible for, and sensitive to, the subtle vibrations of ether which are too minute to stir the tympanum of the ear. Its cultivation produces the power that beholds and distinguishes the difference in shades of mental color in which the mind is absorbed.
People of erratic temperament possess an aura of many and constantly changing colors, but those whose calm never varies maintain but one.
Some few persons are aware of the tones of their aura, and are therefore keenly sensitive to the influence of their surroundings.
They will be perfectly miserable if the paper on their walls, or the material of their clothes, clashes in color with that of their character; while they are at their best and happiest surrounded by the tints that blend or contrast harmoniously.
The clairvoyant’s outfit consists of six qualities:—
- 1. Power of magnetism.
- 2. Mental health and influence.
- 3. Physical health and cleanliness.
- 4. Temperance in food and drink.
- 5. The power of discerning the aura and interpreting its colors.
- 6. The liberty from all evil or slothful habits.
In advanced clairvoyance the use of the crystal for vision is designated by many seers as “clap-trap” and vulgar “playing to the gallery.” It is found to be injurious to eyesight and brain centers to gaze at any shining article for too long a period, yet in parlor clairvoyance there is no doubt that it has great power of inducing concentration of sight and thought.
Crystal Gazing
By means of crystal scrying the gazer creates and becomes subject to the influence of auto-hypnosis—that is, he is able to throw himself into a trance which veils his own personality and links him to that of his client.
The surface of the crystal gradually reflects images, and subconscious impressions conveyed by and vital to the individual whose past, present, and future are being revealed.
