Chapter 9 Developing the Aura When it is remembered that the aura of the individual affects and influences other persons with whom he comes in contact and is in fact an important part of their personality,

It will be seen that it is important that the individual take pains to develop the aura in the direction of desirable qualities and to neutralize and weed out undesirable ones.

This becomes doubly true when it is also remembered that,

According to the law of action and reaction,

The auric vibrations react upon the mind of the individual,

Thus intensifying and adding fuel to the original mental states,

Which called them forth.

From any point of view,

It is seen to be an important part of self-development and character building,

To develop the aura according to scientific occult principles.

In this work of aura development,

There is found to be two correlated phases,

Namely,

The direct work of flooding the aura with the best vibrations by means of holding in the mind clear,

Distinct and repeated mental pictures of desirable ideas and feelings,

And the added effect of mental images of the colors corresponding to the ideas and feelings which are deemed desirable and worthy of development.

The first of the above-mentioned phases is far more familiar to the average student than is the second.

This from the fact that the average student is apt to be more or less familiar with the teachings of numerous schools or occults,

Which agree in the axiom that holding the thought tends to develop the mind of the individual along the particular lines of such thought.

This is a psychological principle for that matter,

Even when those practicing it do not fully understand the underlying fact.

Mental faculties,

Like physical muscles,

Tend to develop by exercise and use,

And any faculty may be developed and cultivated in this way.

Another teaching of these same schools is that the character of the thoughts so held by the individual affects other persons with whom he comes in contact and in a way attracts to them objective things,

Persons and circumstances in harmony with such thoughts.

This also is accordance with the best occult teaching,

From which,

Of course,

It was originally delivered.

I hardly endorse the facts of these teachings and pronounce them fundamentally correct,

And in this connection I may say that every healer may apply these their own methods,

Plus this teaching regarding the aura,

And thus obtain greatly increased results.

By the faithful persevering,

Holding in mind of certain ideas and feelings,

The individual may flood their aura with the vibrations and colors of such ideas and feelings,

And thus charge it with auric energy and power.

They gain the benefit of the reaction upon their own mind,

And also secures the advantage of the effect thereof upon other persons with whom they come in contact.

In this way they not only build their individual character along desirable lines,

But at the same time develop a strong,

Positive,

Attractive personality which affects others with whom they come in contact.

I do not consider it necessary to go into details here regarding this phase of holding the thought,

For,

As I have said,

The average student is already familiar with the rules regarding the same.

In a nutshell,

However,

I will say that each individual is largely the result of the thoughts they have manifested,

And the feelings which they have harbored.

Therefore,

The rule is to manifest and exercise the faculties you would develop and inhabit or refrain from manifesting,

The ones you would restrain or control.

Again,

To restrain an undesirable faculty,

Develop and exercise its opposite,

Kill out the negatives by developing the positives.

The mind produces,

Though,

And yet,

It tends to grow from the particular portion of its own product which you may choose to feed to it,

For it not only creates thought,

But also feeds upon it.

So finally,

Let it produce the best kind of thought for you,

Then throw that back into the hopper,

For it will use it,

Grind out more of the same kind,

And grow strong in so doing.

That is the whole thing in a nutshell.

The second phase of aura development,

As above classified,

However,

Is not likely to be familiar to the average student,

For the reason that it is not known outside of advanced occult circles,

And very little has been allowed to be taught regarding it,

But the very reticence regarding it is a proof of its importance,

And I strongly advise my students to give to it the attention and practice that its important merits.

The practice thereof,

However,

Is extremely simple,

And the principle of the practice,

Moreover,

Is based solely upon the facts of the relation of color and mental states,

As shown in the astral auric colors,

As fully explained in the preceding chapters of this book.

The student should turn back the pages of this book,

And then carefully re-read and re-study every word which has been said about the relation of mental states and auric colors.

They should know the mental correspondence of the shades of red,

Yellow and blue,

So truly that the thought of one will bring the idea of the other.

They should be able to think of the corresponding group of colors the moment they think of any particular mental state.

They should be truly familiar with the physical,

Mental and spiritual effect of any of the colors,

And should,

Moreover,

Test themselves physically for the individual effects of certain colors upon themselves.

They should enter into this study with interest and earnestness,

And then by keeping their eyes and ears open,

They will perceive interesting facts concerning the subject on every side of their daily work and life.

They will perceive many proofs of the principle,

And will soon amass stock of experiences illustrating each color and its corresponding mental state.

They will be richly repaid for the work of such study,

Which,

In fact,

Will soon grow to be more like pleasure than like work.

Having mastered this phase of the subject,

The student should give themselves a thorough,

Honest self-examination and mental analysis.

They should write down a chart of their strong points and their weak ones.

They should check of the traits which should be developed and those which should be restrained.

They should determine whether they need development along physical,

Mental and spiritual lines,

And in what degree.

Having made this chart for themselves,

They should then apply the principles of charging the aura with the color vibrations indicated by their self-diagnosis and prescription.

The last stage is quite simple.

Once one has acquired the general idea back of it,

It consists simply in forming as clear a mental image as possible of the color desired,

And then projecting the vibrations into the aura by the simple effort of the will.

This does not mean that one needs to clinch the first or frown the brow.

Willing in the occult sense may be said to consist of a command,

Leaving the rest of the mechanism of the will and mind take away the obstacle of doubt and fear.

Then the royal command performs the work of setting the will into operation.

This,

By the way,

Is an important occult secret of wide application.

Try to master its all-important significance.

The mental imaging of colors may be materially aided by concentration upon physical material of the right color.

By concentrating the attention and vision upon a red flower,

For instance,

Or upon a bit of green leaf,

In another instance,

One may be able to form a clear,

Positive mental image of that particular color.

This,

Accompanied by the willing and demand that the vibrations of this color shall change the aura,

Will be found to accomplish the result.

Have something around you showing the desirable colors,

And your attention will almost instinctively take up the impression thereof,

Even though you may be thinking of or doing something else.

Leave as much possible in the idea and presence of the desirable color,

And you will get the habit of setting up the mental image and vibrations thereof.

A little practice and experience will soon give you the idea and enable you to get the best results.

Patience,

Perseverance,

And sustained earnest interest.

That is the key of success.
