Good gentles,

 

PranaView release is approaching.  

 

I signed off on the final art for the PranaView boxes last week.  They are
at the printer's and are now in production.  It took several more rounds of
revisions, and hence time, than I planned, but that's life in the big city.

 

PranaView Box Final
<http://primummobile.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=13>  Art (pdf)

 

The box is a telescoping laminated pasteboard box with top and bottom. The
colors will be a little less fiery when the die lines are trimmed and the
box is folded.

 

I think they look pretty nice.

 

Blessings,

tom

Eric,

            The Hindu systems I am familiar with denote twelve petals for
the Heart or Anahata chakra.  Some in addition denote twelve petals for one
of the crown (top of the head) chakras called the Guru chakra.  

The Third Eye, or Ajna  chakra is depicted with two petals.  Here I let the
artist do what she wanted, because her decisions were better than mine.
Depending upon what system you work with, the doctrine is that the Heart
must be awakened as well as the Third Eye for there to be true clairvoyance.
In Qigong, the Lower Burner / Lower Dantien must also be strengthened for
the Third Eye to function correctly.

 

These discussions on the chakras are pretty good:

Delios,

Thanks so much!  I really appreciate that. 

 

I expect the next thing to happen will be notice from Doug at Cactus
Containers when production completes and the boxes ship.  I also have the on
goggle product labels due to arrive tomorrow from Maverick Labels.

 

I?m now working on the product brochure.  I hope to have a draft done by the
end of the week.  Getting that printed is the last step before I can ship.

Blessings,

tom

I wouldn't have had the two yellow lines cutting
through the word PranaView in the trademark notice.
That can't be good feng shui.

I'd consider rotating the notice 45 or 90 degrees
and maybe making it a little smaller so it fits
in the corner opposite the TBA consulting logo.

Mark,
    Good catch. Thanks!  I had a number of people look at this box, 
multiple times, but no one noticed this, including me.
I've already done a stop press once when part of the drawing had serious 
flaws that weren't immediately apparent.  Then Cactus did a stop press 
when they noticed a problem with the bleed around one of the die cuts.  
Three would be uncool.

    Fortunately, there are often feng shui remedies for feng shui 
issues, if you know the issues exist.  I have one more chance to use 
images in the design, so let me consult with my feng shui experts to see 
what they recommend...

thanks again,
tom

I've done quite a lot of graphic art, even though
I don't consider myself a graphic artist.

I suggest you let me see the instructions before
you have them printed.  I can't imagine I won't
have lots of objections.

Subject: [Gogglist_pub] my version of aura goggles instructions
Message-ID: <5.0.0.25.2.20100405170445.01dc6c40@pop.sonic.net>

This set of instructions has four parts:

1.  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

2.  Setting For Aura Training

3.  Procedure For Aura Training

4.  Things You Can Expect To See

PART 1:  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

To avoid eyestrain, you must follow these rules:

*  Exposures must be limited to 30-45 seconds each.
    Longer exposures are not more effective than
    these short exposures.

*  Only one exposure per day.  Most people do not
    see auras until after their third exposure.
    Three exposures on the same day might be safe,
    but we cannot claim that is true at this time.
    If multiple exposures on the same day are used,
    they must be separated by at least 1 1/2 hours,
    otherwise they will not be any more effective
    than a single exposure.

*  Do not look at bright sources of light, such as
    lamps or the reflection of the disc of the Sun.

PART 2:  Setting For Aura Training

The best setting for an exposure is an open window
overlooking a sunny varigated scene with lots of
foliage.  When viewed through the aura goggles,
the scene should be rich in both red and blue.

After the training exposure with the goggles, it
must be possible to retire to a dimly lit room
for the actual aura viewing.  The goggles must not
be removed until entering this space, because even
the smallest crack of unfiltered light could ruin
the effect.  Because of the darkness of the goggles,
this presents a risk of stumbling on something
while proceeding from the exposure area to the
aura viewing area.  Trip hazards, valuable objects,
and beloved pets should be kept out of this path.

PART 3:  Procedure For Aura Training

1.  Go to the exposure area and put on the goggles.
     There must be no leaks of unfiltered light while
     wearing the goggles.

2.  Count off 30-45 seconds while scanning the scene
     back-and-forth.  Keep your eyes moving.

3.  Proceed toward the aura viewing area, without
     removing the goggles.  Be careful not to stumble.

4.  When you arrive at the aura viewing area, remove
     the goggles and look at the back of your hands
     with the fingers pointed at each other and spread.
     This must be done against a black or very dark
     background.

     <insert figure showing juxtaposition of fingers>

PART 4:  Things You Can Expect To See

There are certain phenomena that everybody sees, and
there are other phenomena which are only seen at high
levels of aura training ability.  It is a subject of
dispute whether or not these higher level phenomena
are dictated by expectations.  Therefore, we will
not describe higher level phenomena, because we do
not wish to influence what you see.  We want you to
explore on your own and tell us what you see.

When you first see auras, they will look like a
white mist surrounding your fingers, especially
at the fingertips.  There will be a void space
between your fingers and the inner edge of the aura.
The aura will be densest near the fingers, becoming
less dense with increasing distance.  With more
training, the visible aura will become larger and
it will have an increasingly complex structure.

PART 2:  Setting For Aura Training

The best setting for an exposure is an open window
overlooking a sunny varigated scene with lots of
foliage.  When viewed through the aura goggles,
the scene should be rich in both red and blue
surfaces and textures.

After the training exposure with the goggles, it
must be possible to retire to a dimly lit room
for the actual aura viewing.  (Auras cannot be
seen in total darkness.)  The goggles must not
be removed until entering this space, because even
the smallest crack of unfiltered light could ruin
the effect.  Because of the darkness of the goggles,
this presents a risk of stumbling on something
while proceeding from the exposure area to the
aura viewing area.  Trip hazards, valuable objects,
and beloved pets should be kept out of this path.

PART 3:  Procedure For Aura Training

1.  Put on the goggles and go to the exposure area.
     There must be no leaks of unfiltered light while
     wearing the goggles.  Try to keep your eyes partly
     closed while going to the exposure area, to the
     extent consistent with not stumbling on anything.
     A modest amount of dark adaptation is helpful.

2.  Count off 30-45 seconds while scanning the scene
     horizontally back-and-forth.  Keep your eyes moving.

3.  Proceed toward the aura viewing area, without
     removing the goggles.  Be careful not to stumble.

4.  When you arrive at the aura viewing area, remove
     the goggles and look at the back of your hands
     with the fingers pointed at each other and spread.
     This must be done against a black or very dark
     background.

Mark,
	Thank you for your version of instructions.  I am planning on
previewing the PranaView instructions in this forum, so I really appreciate
the feedback & help.  

	I think our different versions are closer than you think, although
there are a few points where we do differ.  I'd like to discuss those points
& see that I understand why I should make these changes.  

The first point I'd like to discuss is the length of exposure.  

You recommend a maximum exposure of 45 seconds. My recommended maximum is 60
seconds, so really we are not that far off.  

I have done scores of exposures of that timescale using the PranaView UV
protection with no apparent eyestrain. Is there a compelling reason to
reduce the maximum from 60 seconds to 45 seconds?

A related question: do you think a shorter sensitization is *more effective*
than a longer exposure?  This is of course something I will try myself
tomorrow if the day is sunny.  So, a 15 second exposure is actually better,
or perhaps the exact equivalent of, a 45 second exposure.

thanks very much,
tom

30 seconds is sufficient.  There is no benefit
from more than that.  45 seconds ensures that
the exposure is more than sufficient.  Safety
dictates the minimum effective level is used.

Because old goggles like Kilnascrene were
designed on the assumption that transmission
of UV-A was necessary for their function, they
were dangerous, and even following these rules
strictly will not prevent adverse effects with
those goggles unless UV filters are added.

When the goggles have adequate UV filtering,
there is little or no eye pain caused by the
goggles, but in the absence of well-designed
studies, I think we have to follow a superset
of the safety rules used by all previous workers
in the field.

No, but a longer exposure is not more effective.

I haven't tried a 15 second exposure.  It may be
equally effective to 30 seconds, in which case
the exposure limit should be lowered even further.
I have no reason to believe that short exposures
are more effective, nor any particular reason to
believe otherwise.

Message-ID: <5.0.0.25.2.20100406125120.01de35c8@pop.sonic.net>

This set of instructions has four parts:

1.  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

2.  Setting For Aura Training

3.  Procedure For Aura Training

4.  Things You Can Expect To See

PART 1:  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

If you have any disease of the retina or a family
history of such a disease, including but not
limited to glaucoma, macular degeneration, and
retinitis pigmentosa, do not use aura goggles.

Color blindness is not a safety issue for using
aura goggles, but they may not be effective if
you have it.

To avoid eyestrain, you must follow these rules:

*  Exposures must be limited to 30-45 seconds each.
    Longer exposures are not more effective than
    these short exposures.

*  Only one exposure per day.  Most people do not
    see auras until after their third exposure.
    Three exposures on the same day might be safe,
    but this cannot be claimed as true at this time.
    If multiple exposures on the same day are used,
    they must be separated by at least 1 1/2 hours,
    otherwise they will not be any more effective
    than a single exposure.

*  Do not look at bright sources of light, such as
    lamps or the reflection of the disc of the Sun.

PART 2:  Setting For Aura Training

The best setting for an exposure is an open window
overlooking a sunny varigated scene with lots of
foliage.  When viewed through the aura goggles,
the scene should be rich in both red and blue
surfaces and textures.

After the training exposure with the goggles, it
must be possible to retire to a dimly lit room
for the actual aura viewing.  (Auras cannot be
seen in total darkness.)  The goggles must not
be removed until entering this space, because even
the smallest crack of unfiltered light could ruin
the effect.  Because of the darkness of the goggles,
this presents a risk of stumbling on something
while proceeding from the exposure area to the
aura viewing area.  Trip hazards, valuable objects,
and beloved pets should be kept out of this path.

PART 3:  Procedure For Aura Training

1.  Put on the goggles and go to the exposure area.
     There must be no leaks of unfiltered light while
     wearing the goggles.  Try to keep your eyes partly
     closed while going to the exposure area, to the
     extent consistent with not stumbling on anything.
     A modest amount of dark adaptation is helpful.

2.  Count off 30-45 seconds while scanning the scene
     horizontally back-and-forth.  Keep your eyes moving.

3.  Proceed toward the aura viewing area, without
     removing the goggles.  Be careful not to stumble.

4.  When you arrive at the aura viewing area, remove
     the goggles and look at the back of your hands
     with the fingers pointed at each other and spread.
     This must be done against a black or very dark
     background.

     <insert figure showing juxtaposition of fingers>

PART 4:  Things You Can Expect To See

There are certain phenomena that everybody sees, and
there are other phenomena which are only seen at high
levels of aura training ability.  It is a subject of
dispute whether or not these higher level phenomena
are dictated by expectations.

When you first see auras, they will look like a
white mist surrounding your fingers, especially
at the fingertips.  There will be a void space
between your fingers and the inner edge of the aura.
The aura will be densest near the fingers, becoming
less dense with increasing distance.  With more
training, the visible aura will become larger and
it will have an increasingly complex structure.

This set of instructions has four parts:

1.  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

2.  Setting For Aura Training

3.  Procedure For Aura Training

4.  Things You Can Expect To See

PART 1:  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

If you have any disease of the retina or a family
history of such a disease, including but not
limited to glaucoma, macular degeneration, and
retinitis pigmentosa, do not use aura goggles.

Color blindness is not a safety issue for using
aura goggles, but they may not be effective if
you have it.

To avoid eyestrain, you must follow these rules:

*  Exposures must be limited to 30-45 seconds each.
    Longer exposures are not more effective than
    these short exposures.

*  Only one exposure per day.  Most people do not
    see auras until after their third exposure.
    Three exposures on the same day might be safe,
    but this cannot be claimed as true at this time.
    If multiple exposures on the same day are used,
    they must be separated by at least 1 1/2 hours,
    otherwise they will not be any more effective
    than a single exposure.

*  Do not look at bright sources of light, such as
    lamps or the reflection of the disc of the Sun.

PART 2:  Setting For Aura Training

The best setting for an exposure is an open window
overlooking a sunny varigated scene with lots of
foliage.  When viewed through the aura goggles,
the scene should be rich in both red and blue
surfaces and textures.

After the training exposure with the goggles, it
must be possible to retire to a dimly lit room
for the actual aura viewing or to cover the
window to substantially reduce the amount of
light in the room.  Auras cannot be seen in
total darkness or very dim conditions.  The
lighting in the aura viewing area should be
subdued, like in a movie theater before the
curtains are opened.

The goggles must not be removed until entering
the aura viewing area, because even the smallest
crack of unfiltered light could ruin the effect.
Because of the darkness of the goggles, this
presents a risk of stumbling on something while
proceeding from the exposure area to the aura
viewing area.  Trip hazards, valuable objects,
and beloved pets should be kept out of this path.
When training several people at a time, guides
should be available to lead the students while
they wear the goggles.

PART 3:  Procedure For Aura Training

1.  Put on the goggles and immediately go to the
     exposure area.  There must be no leaks of
     unfiltered light while wearing the goggles.
     A modest amount of dark adaptation is helpful.

2.  Count off 30-45 seconds while scanning the scene
     horizontally back-and-forth.  Keep your eyes moving.

3.  Proceed toward the aura viewing area or cover the
     window, without removing the goggles.  Be careful
     not to stumble.

4.  When you arrive at the aura viewing area, remove
     the goggles and look at the back of your hands
     with the fingers pointed at each other and spread.
     This must be done against a black or very dark
     background.  The subdued light should illuminate
     the fingers.  (The procedure will be somewhat
     different for someone with a very dark skin color.)

are dictated by expectations.

Mark,
	Thank you for all the work putting together these instructions.
They look quite good, and cover a few points I omitted in the version I
wrote up.  

So, first, I would like to post them on Primummobile exactly as you have
written them.  Is that alright?

For the PranaView instructions, there are a couple of points that I would
like to discuss.

I personally find it easier to see an aura against a lighter / neutral
background, rather than a dark background.  I find it helpful to have a
range of background light levels available when I am looking at auras to let
me seek the best one for the circumstances that day.

So my instructions discuss the use of gray, light, and dark backgrounds.  Do
you see that as a reasonable change? 

When I do group experiments, I bring packages of large construction paper of
various colors, so people can choose their own backgrounds for their hand /
hand, hand / arm experiments.  I find that people don't always follow my
recommendations, and yet appear to get mostly good results; that is, some
choose light, some choose dark, some choose vivid colors, and some choose
neutral colors.  I'm not quite ready to say that anything goes, but it seems
that different background luminance values do work better for different
people.

I agree with your safety rules with respect to the Sun, including its
reflection.  I wonder about the restriction on not looking at an
incandescent lamp, though.  I and my friends have done it many times to no
apparent ill effect with PranaView, which does have an effective UV blocker.
I was even going to say that observing the filament was fun.

If you don't look at the light, I'm not sure that incandescent sensitization
is all that effective.  The amount of near UV / deep blue in the interesting
bands is puny for most incandescent bulbs compared with the Sun on a
cloudless day.  I'm not just reading that from a book, I have measured it on
a spectrometer.  I'll prepare the graphs & share them with this audience.

I'd be worried about looking at a searchlight, or arc light, or theater spot
light, (I wouldn't try looking at a laser beam, either,) but an ordinary 100
watt bulb doesn't seem to be a problem. Is there evidence of a special
danger, or does your concern arise out of general caution?

Thanks again for your deluxe efforts--
tom

If I don't send you a new version today or
tomorrow, you can post that one.  I should add
something about turning off cellphones.  The
first time I trained someone, her cellphone rang
right at the aura viewing step.  That is the
worst possible time for an interruption.

I've only used dark backgrounds.  Actually,
I use an area in shadow, well away from the
focal plane of my hands.

That sounds like an area that needs more research.
Certainly, people with dark skin will need a different
background.  I suspect a gray background would be
best for them.

I have only used outdoor scenes for training.
Perhaps I went too far in saying that you shouldn't
look at a lamp, but I'm still not too comfortable
with that.

If you feel the need to look directly at
a bulb, I'd suggest getting a brighter lamp
and using that to illuminate a scene.
Something like the lamps portrait photographers
use.  I'm not sure what sort of scene would be
best for indoor use.  Maybe an old projection
screen, cut up into pieces and tacked to a wall.
That would reflect the light with high efficiency
and provide some texture.

Mostly general caution.  I can't say specifically
that looking at an incandescent bulb is dangerous.

HOW TO USE AURA GOGGLES

Copyright 2010 Mark Thorson

Aura goggles are any of various products that
can train people with ordinary vision to see
auras.  These goggles are very optically dense,
passing only a little light at the extremes
of the red and blue bands of the visual
spectrum.  They have a deep violet color.

Some antique aura goggles (such as Harry
Boddington's Kilnascrene) pass an excessive
amount of dangerous ultraviolet light.
The inventor of this technology, Walter
Kilner, and some subsequent workers in the
field believed that aura goggles work by
training the eyes to see ultraviolet light
at wavelengths just beyond the normal range
of human vision.

This is not true.  Aura goggles work through
an unknown mechanism which is stimulated by
visible red and blue light.  Ultraviolet light
is not necessary and indeed harmful for aura
training.  The aura training performance of
goggles like Kilnascrene is not impaired by
adding filters which block ultraviolet light.

In recent years, there have been marketed
products claiming to be useful for aura
training, but lacking key features to be
effective.  Very important is cutting off
all light that does not pass through the
filters.  Even a small amount of leakage
that bypasses the filters will ruin aura
training effectiveness.

This set of instructions has four parts:

1.  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

2.  Setting For Aura Training

3.  Procedure For Aura Training

4.  Things You Can Expect To See

PART 1:  Safety Rules For Using Aura Goggles

If you have any disease of the retina or a family
history of such a disease, including but not
limited to glaucoma, macular degeneration, and
retinitis pigmentosa, do not use aura goggles.

Color blindness is not a safety issue for using
aura goggles, but they may not be effective if
you have it.

To avoid eyestrain, you must follow these rules:

*  Exposures must be limited to 30-45 seconds each.
    Longer exposures are not more effective than
    these short exposures.

*  Only one exposure per day.  Most people do not
    see auras until after their third exposure.
    Three exposures on the same day might be safe,
    but this cannot be claimed as true at this time.
    If multiple exposures on the same day are used,
    they must be separated by at least 1 1/2 hours,
    otherwise they will not be any more effective
    than a single exposure.

*  Do not look at bright sources of light, such as
    the reflection of the disc of the Sun.

PART 2:  Setting For Aura Training

Before getting started, students must be instructed
to turn off their cellphones.  It is important
that once training begins it is not interrupted.
Cellphone displays usually emit light which
ruins the aura training effect, so even looking
at a cellphone to turn it off may render an aura
training session worthless.

The best setting for an exposure is an open window
overlooking a sunny varigated scene with lots of
foliage.  When viewed through the aura goggles,
the scene should be rich in both red and blue
surfaces and textures.

After the training exposure with the goggles, it
must be possible to retire to a dimly lit room
for the actual aura viewing or to cover the
window to substantially reduce the amount of
light in the room.  Auras cannot be seen in
total darkness or very dim conditions.  The
lighting in the aura viewing area should be
subdued, like in a movie theater before the
curtains are opened.

The goggles must not be removed until entering
the aura viewing area, because even the smallest
crack of unfiltered light could ruin the effect.
Because of the darkness of the goggles, this
presents a risk of stumbling on something while
proceeding from the exposure area to the aura
viewing area.  Trip hazards, valuable objects,
and beloved pets should be kept out of this path.
When training several people at a time, guides
should be available to lead the students while
they wear the goggles.

PART 3:  Procedure For Aura Training

1.  Put on the goggles and immediately go to the
     exposure area.  There must be no leaks of
     unfiltered light while wearing the goggles.
     A modest amount of dark adaptation is helpful.

2.  Count off 30-45 seconds while scanning the scene
     horizontally back-and-forth.  Keep your eyes moving.

3.  Proceed toward the aura viewing area or cover the
     window, without removing the goggles.  Be careful
     not to stumble.

4.  When you arrive at the aura viewing area, remove
     the goggles and look at the back of your hands
     with the fingers pointed at each other and spread.
     This must be done against a black or very dark
     background.  The subdued light should illuminate
     the fingers.  (The procedure will be somewhat
     different for someone with a very dark skin color.)

PART 4:  Things You Can Expect To See

There are certain phenomena that everybody sees, and
there are other phenomena which are only seen at high
levels of aura training ability.  It is a subject of
dispute whether or not these higher level phenomena
are dictated by expectations.

When you first see auras, they will look like a
white mist surrounding your fingers, especially
at the fingertips.  There will be a void space
between your fingers and the inner edge of the aura.
The aura will be densest near the fingers, becoming
less dense with increasing distance.  With more
training, the visible aura will become larger and
it will have an increasingly complex structure.

Delios,
    Well, some of the raw information can be considered open source, but 
the actual wording here is Mark's, so his copyright is legitimate.  
Also, a fair amount of the detailed information was actually derived 
from his personal research, so that is certainly legitimate too.
    I stuck in the scans from the Kilnascrene doc, so that wasn't his 
fault (and they are public domain now.)  I was actually going to get 
Jennifer to re-draw them so I have a clear title to include in the 
PranaView booklet.

Ever since the U.S. joined the Berne Convention,
an author owns the copyright to his material
whether he puts a copyright notice on it or not.

Had I published it without a copyright notice
prior to 1988, it would have been in the public
domain, but I did not do that.
