How Dare I Use Aura Reading for “Comparative Religion?”

Isn’t it cheeky enough when I do Face Reading? If you’ve been following the latest topic here, you’re owed some explanation about this particular kind of Aura Reading.

Checking out someone’s religion, via a Third Eye reading, may seem terribly tasteless.

Actually, once upon a time, nutritional labels were probably considered pretty questionable. Either you liked your Campbell’s Tomato Soup or you didn’t.

And if you stocked your pantry with that soup, who cared if had rather large amounts of something called “sodium”?

Aura Reading does supply the spiritual and emotional equivalent of nutritional labels. Anyone can learn to read auras in depth and detail (see the LINKS section below).

Aura Reading for that pinch of salt 

Soon as you read chakra databanks and find a reliable technique that works for you, how do you become empowered? For the rest of your life… you can find quality information about what is going on with anyone’s:

• Spiritual connection
• Way of evolving fastest spiritually
• Emotional self-awareness
• Verbal integrity
• Power integrity
• Spiritual integrity
• Version of reality in everyday life

These and hundreds of other chakra databanks will spill their secrets.

Reading the secrets of auras

It’s not that every aura reader finds identical information. No, there’s something better. Each aura reader contributes valuable knowledge, because each of us has unique gifts, a specialized spiritual mission, and a brilliant resource of personal experience — not just from this lifetime but from all our accumulated lifetimes.

And, of course, one way you can tell if you have skills as an aura reader is if you are able to read auras in detail from regular photographs.

Doing this isn’t a matter of some special gift any more than your ability to read this blog. (See the part of LINKS below where I tell you which of my books contains detailed instructions for reading hundreds of chakra databanks from regular photos.)

For years, reading auras was my private chuckle. While reading the newspaper, I’d check out especially interesting photos and read the pictures, using one of the techniques in Read People Deeper.

Whenever there was a story about the Religious Right demonstrating their superior “values” and “connection to the Lord” I would find those pictures especially interesting. I’d read photos of people:

• Conspicuously, publicly praying
• Demonstrating against a woman’s right to have an abortion
• Protesting gay and lesbian rights

And otherwise being public Evangelical Christians with missionary intent

The Only Consistent Finding

I discovered, of course, that each person’s aura was unique. That included the connection to spiritual source. Especially because those being photographed were so zealous about their religion, I wanted to research that chakra databank in particular.

The only consistent finding was how puny the spiritual connection generally was.

With very few exceptions, among many dozens of such readings, the public Fundamentalist Christians had far less of a spiritual connection than most human beings. Of course, fundamentalists of any religion tend to have very little spiritual connection. No wonder they cling so tightly to their rules and beliefs.

It has been mostly my private joke, checking out that spiritual connection on people. I’d see photos of kids playing in a slum in some third world neighborhood. Their connection to spiritual source Aura Reading databanks were usually magnificent. Then I’d go back to the photo of the Holier-than-Thou Religious Right poster child in that day’s news.

My First Aura Reading about Spiritual Connection

The memory of my first Aura Reading of this type still makes me alternate between embarrassment and laughter. It was one of my four teaching-and-session tours to Los Angeles. I was giving an Aura Reading workshop.

Back in the day, L.A. New Age culture was enthusiastic, to say the least. My sponsor, Samuel, told me that it was common to attend 12 workshops in a week. People were crazy for the newest, the flashiest, the hottest. There they were in movieland, so maybe it wasn’t too much of a stretch to say that many spiritual seekers treated workshops like movies.

Now, I had some marvellous students in California and just loved them. But I wasn’t crazy about the way one of my students, “Joe,” decided to bring in fliers for another workshop and hand them out to people during the break. (It might have been a nice gesture to ask my permission, for instance.)

Still, I became curious because the workshop was titled something like, “Gain Spiritual Enlightenment.” The flier featured a large photo of the teacher. So I used one of my Aura Reading techniques to find out what kind of person would be teaching a workshop with such a major promise attached.

“Victor” was all about his intellect. He was smart and educated. He used his intellect lavishly and enthusiastically. Actually, my Aura Reading suggested that Victor used his intellect to serve many functions in his life, such as a substitute for emotions, direct physical experience and, yes, spiritual connection.

How big was Victor’s Spiritual Connection Aura Reading Databank? He could have been a Christian Fundamentalist. Except that rather than qualities like fear, the tiny projection of energy was all about… Victor’s intellect.

Such a Controversial Aura Reading

When the break ended, I picked up a flier and talked briefly about how Aura Reading could help a person become a better consumer. (There is, actually, a major chapter about this in my how-to book, Aura Reading Through All Your Senses.)

Then I commented on the contrast between what Victor was selling and what his aura delivered.

It’s common that people don’t really have the standing, in their auras, to teach what they claim. When I first received a book by Chrissie Blaze on spiritual development, I did my typical check-out-with-an-Aura-Reading. Her third eye just knocked my socks off. Chrissie did, and does, have the standing to teach spiritual anything.

So does the Rev. Billy Graham, whether or not you happen to buy what he’s selling. His lifetime audience has topped 2.2 billion. And the man deserves it. He’s got a firm, power-soaked connection to his version of God. Billy specializes in authority and strength and no-nonsense Evangelical living.

I wouldn’t go to Rev. Billy when seeking someone with a great sense of humor, or other things. But if I needed a rock of Gibraltar to bolster my faith, he’d be my go-to guy.

Still, you can imagine how strange it was to be in my L.A. living room workshop, doing Consumer Reports on another teacher’s spiritual connection.

In case you can’t truly imagine it, because you haven’t sampled the vibrant, gorgeous, but sometimes absolutely nuts, L.A. New Age culture, here’s the bottom line. You can’t imagine a more accepting group of people. It’s anything goes. It’s never, ever, ever judge anyone. It’s how dare you presume to attack this good man’s right to call himself enlightened and share his wisdom with others?

But I did cross that line. If Victor was selling a violin-playing seminar, everybody could hear the man play. And if he played violin the way he experienced “enlightenment,” the gig would be up!

Really, I didn’t want to speak the “discouraging word.” I wanted to play “Home on the Range” where the skies are not cloudy all day and everyone is perfect.

“Enlightenment,” however, is not trivial. Not to me. Any more than “Birthers” claiming that a sitting president can’t be in office.

The Really Serious Discrimination

As American political life has turned especially ugly of late, there has been talk about racism being behind the crazy talk about Obama.

I wouldn’t discount that factor. It’s as though millions of people have forgotten the horror that was George W., and the impending nightmare of McCain/Palin. And they’ve woken up thinking, “That man who got elected president. I just noticed. He’s black. Omigod!”

But, actually, I believe another factor is more important. Obama is the most spiritually enlightened president we’ve ever had. And I write this having spent nearly 10 years minutely reading photos and portraits of every American president for my most sophisticated Face Reading book, Wrinkles Are God’s Makeup.

The golden glow in Obama’s aura can just knock you over.

The magnificience of Obama’s aura is reason enough to spend the 10 hours it could take to learn Aura Reading skills for life.

Now, I thought that Vice-President Al Gore was (and is) amazing. I could spend hours, these days, enjoying the absolutely inspiring aura of Hillary Clinton. When Bill Clinton came on the Jon Stewart show recently, I nearly sobbed for joy. These are extraordinary, super-evolved people.

But nobody in American public life, and I mean nobody, can hold a candle to Barack Obama. Except, okay, his wife Michelle.

All that candle power/love power/light power/gorgeous Divine connection really inspires this Aura Reader. And I do believe that others feel it, whether or not they can consciously read auras or not. They react to it, pro or con.

So, yes, I will do the consumer thing for now, using energetic literacy. I will do it with our Aura Reading Contest announced yesterday. I will risk seeming like a sour-grapes disrespecter of Victor, who knew so much he was claiming to teach “enlightenment.”

I will do this kind of comparative religion. And let me make it plain that I don’t relish it. I get no great gossipy thrill.

It’s more like when I was raising my son Matt and I had to tell him to watch his step when he walked among cars. I wanted him to keep the love of life, the joy, and the utter trust. But I also knew that he needed to learn common sense.
