Theos-Talk Archives (November 2005 Message tt00141)

Hi Mark

In the AMORC, Rosecross temple monographies there is a wide study on the 
nature of the human Aura, showing techniques to improve itīs vision and 
understanding of its properties although their explanation differ a bit from 
our theosophical ones.
In the study you are also encouraged to set up a simple apparatus to 
facilitate the perception of it, with the use of paper cut forms , boards 
and candles. If you have some friend who is a member of AMORC , you can 
persuade him to help you with this...what will perhaps be harder than 
acquire the aura perception...:-)

Regards
Krishtar
