.Kirlian photographs show other less drastic changes in the body than physical and mental diseases.Psychic expert, Dr.Thelma Moss of the University of California, discovered that color Kirlian photoscan tell whether someone is drunk or sober, happy or sad, even friendly or unfriendly.In one test, she had a man start drinking whiskey, one small glass at a time while she took a Kirlianphoto of his fingertip after each glass.As he had more and more to drink, the glow around the man'sfingertips began to get brighter and rosier until finally both the man and his aura were glowingbrightly from the whiskey he had drunk.In another experiment, Dr.Moss deliberately picked a fight with one of her assistants, then took aphoto of her fingertip to see if anything happened to her aura.That old expression about people seeingred when they became angry seemed to apply to Kirlian photography as well, because the madder thewoman grew, the redder was her aura.When the woman was most angry, the glow around herfingertip was a deep, dark, bloody red.The most remarkable of all Dr.Moss's experiments was one that gave a clue to why we often like ordislike people the very first time we meet them.Often, for no apparent reason, we will feel friendlytoward one person or feel uncomfortable with another.The reason for this, Moss believes, is that weare attuned to some people and not others, and we are constantly giving off a certain kind of signalwith our auras.In fact, Dr.Moss discovered that each of us has our own special kind of aura that is as distinct as ourfingerprints.In Kirlian photographs of hundreds of people she never found two that were alike.Insome instances the shape of the light halo was different; in others, the size of the halo varied; in stillothers, the colors were different.Without even realizing it, we can actually sense what the otherperson's aura is like and react to it by liking or disliking that person.As proof of this, Dr.Moss took special Kirlian photos of the hands of two strangers with theirfingertips close to each other.In cases where people later said they liked a stranger, their aurasactually reached out and overlapped.In other instances where people said they felt uncomfortablewith the other person, their auras had actually curved away and not touched the other person's.Oneteacher at the University of Utah says he plans to use this method to match up students with teachersthey will like and whose classes they will probably enjoy a lot more for that reason.All attempts to find out where the special force or energy is that is responsible for this unearthly glowhave only added to the mystery surrounding it.For example, scientists know that when somethingdies, whether it's a plant, an animal, or a person, its Kirlian glow dies with it.One thing they havediscovered is that this is not always true if a part of something or someone dies.Semyon Kirlian found this out for himself when he took an ordinary leaf freshly plucked from a plant,cut off a large piece of it, and took a photo of the leaf with his camera.What he found when hedeveloped the picture was not a photo of a leaf with a large piece missing, but of a whole leaf.Although it seemed impossible, the ghost of the missing piece showed up in the picture, completingthe outline of the aura.At first Kirlian thought something was wrong with the equipment and tried taking the picture over andover again.Each time, the ghost of the missing piece showed up.Others found the same thing happenswith animals.For example, pictures taken with a Kirlian camera of a salamander who lost a leg stillshowed the outline of a leg in the photo of the animal's aura.Something of the animal's leg stayedbehind after it was removed from its body.Some experts say this energy ghost of the missing limb helps explain an odd problem doctors havehad for years with patients who have had a leg or arm amputated.Long afterward, the patients oftenfeel that they still have the missing part of their body attached to them.They suffer from somethingcalled "phantom limb," sensations in which they feel an itching in a leg they no longer have or sufferwhat feels like very real pain in an arm that is not there.It's possible that something of the energyspirit of the missing body part is still there and every so often makes itself known by these sensations.While everyone has the energy which causes these strange sensations and leaves the aura imprints onfilm in Kirlian photography, only a few people have learned how to control it and use it for somethingcalled psychic healing.Using tremendous powers of concentration, people with the gift of psychichealing have learned to channel this special energy and turn it on people who are sick or injured.Forreasons that are still not understood, this life energy somehow flows from the hands of a psychichealer into the body of a sick person and works some kind of a cure inside that person.One of the most famous of these special faith healers was a woman named Ethel DeLoach whodiscovered her powers almost by accident.Her daughter had been kicked in the leg by a horse andwas in excruciating pain.Mrs.DeLoach was panic-stricken because the nearest hospital was milesaway and by the time she could get her daughter there, the girl's condition would be even worse.As ithappened, Mrs.DeLoach had just finished reading a book about people who had the gift of healing bytouch and, in desperation, she laid her hands on her daughter's injured leg, thinking she would at leastbe able to soothe the girl.The moment she did this, she felt a strange force rise eerily inside her body and move down her armsto her hands.Her daughter later said she felt a tingling sensation in her leg and a few minutes later herpain completely vanished.Soon, word of Mrs.DeLoach's power spread, and others were coming toher for help.One patient who came for help was a woman who for years had been suffering fromhorrible oozing sores on her legs [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
