Thank you dream for your response and your comments on my page also.
Symbolisms are very confusing for me and take a long time for me to figure out or at least decide on something that I feel comfortable with. Like for instance, when my father took his life I wrote about seeing the gun that he used and later I heard a voice giving me a message. Not knowing anything about this I started to seek answers and talk (but not for long, I later just kept my mouth shut) about it. In the bible I started to learn about symbolism from going to bible classes and listening to the priests. It took me almost two years to figure out (actually to ask myself the symbolism of my personal experience) that I " saw " the gun while on the highway...and isn't that the vehicle my father took to the other side?....and the voice that I heard while waiting in traffic at the bridge while a boat was crossing to the other side....maybe my father was doing the same at that precise time (or thereabouts)?....crossing to the other plane of existence?... Too many things that I don't know but following the feeling in my heart I feel that's about right, these assumptions of mine.
I asked you about auras...do you know about the " kilian?" camera...(don't know about the spelling) but it's a camera that has a sleeve and putting your hand in it you touch the lens? and take a picture....and a picture of your aura comes out...
Back in the days when I took hypnosis classes and later bio-feedback classes I remember (I think the professors name was Bravo..but not sure) that the professor was very good and thorough (we even had a regression class once and it was a mind blower but for some reason I couldn't go back...but that's another story.) and one of the guest speakers of the biofeedback class had one of those cameras. The class was small but everybody had been told to bring someone as this was going to be special...and they did...I brought my then girfriend also.
The entire class and company took a picture of their aura.
Because of the equipment only the fingertip was photographed...but that was enough to amaze and open up our mind to the unknown things that we as humans still have to learn.
My little circle of light was white...and later when I compared it to the rest...for we all wrote our names in the back of the polaroid and then started passing them around...it was thicker than the rest. My girlfriend's was thinner and yellow, with a slash of green on one side of the circle (only one hand fitted in the sleeve and touching it with your finger...ergo the circle of light) and everybody else had a different color...some light blue...etc. I got the impression that they were like fingerprints?...what do I know? and all the colors were beautiful in my humble opinion.
So I guess what I wanted to ask you is what do you know about the different colors of our auras...for we all have one and a friend of mine who is a Buddisht tells me that everything has an aura...Imagine that...and yes, later at church after my dad's passing I saw auras at church everywhere...even the plants and altar had them.
And it still amazes me.

Although I responded to this on my blog, I figured that since you also posted it on your blog, I'd also post my responce here:
Happy to respond, I didn’t get the chance to read through your whole blog yet as I was pressed for time when I was there but I intend to go back and read the rest.
Symbolism is not easy and a significant time is spent on it when you train in shamanism. I have come to see symbolism as a combination of three things. First I do believe that there are genetically programed symbols which are keyed into our brains. It’s what gives a commonality to all of man kind. It’s the only good explanation for why certain things seem to crop up throughout human history in every culture even when the cultures have no connection to each other and besides, it makes sense that we would have some kind of basic mental framework as infants that would allow us to build our understanding of the world around us. Just as we can show that every kind of animal has some sort of instinctive set of knowledge that defines various behaviors it is only logical to think that we have some kind of instinctive knowledge that we are born with.
Second there are the symbols we learn from our culture. Right from birth we are busy learning from everything we see and hear and there are many symbols that anyone within a given culture knows. For someone born in North America if I say “dove” there will be a set of instant ideas conveyed. If I say “cross” to a Christian it carries definite meaning. A person dressed in black holds meaning as does someone dressed in white. But each of these things is cultural and in other cultures the meanings are different. These symbols are added onto the ones we are born with and they will be the same for anyone from the same cultural background. Mind you, these days people travel and cultural backgrounds mix. Take myself for example: I was raised in Canada in a middle classed Christian family and have all the symbolism that goes with that but I also have exposure to some African culture and some South American culture because of people I knew growing up, I have a reasonable amount of oriental influence in my life and then I have the symbolism I learned in my training which includes symbolism from more than one tradition. And let’s not forgot the symbolism found in TV shows because in many ways you could say that any collection of TV shows and movies has a culture of its own. Someone who watches love stories exclusively will gain a different set of associations to someone into horror and action adventure, etc. So these days we tend to get a mixture of cultural background and all of it influences the symbolism our minds use.
The third thing is personal symbolism which is based on our experiences. What a thing means to us personally because of the things that have happened in our lives. This is the part that each of us must figure out for ourselves because no one else knows what is inside our heads.
As for Kirlian photography, it is definitely interesting stuff. I’ve read the scientific explanations and have enough background in science to understand what they are saying. It all makes sense and shows that Kirlian photography does not do what people claim it does, but you know what? I tried an experiment at a psychic fair - a guy there had a Kirlian setup and I let him take a picture of my finger tips, then I used all the training I had to try and “quiet” my aura and got him to take a second picture and finally I tried to project my energy through my finger tips for a third picture. The first picture showed an aura that was fairly well established but nothing extraordinary. The second was almost blank, just the slightest touch of an aura and the third looked like it was way over exposed. The scientific explanations can explain the first picture, but it can’t explain the other two, at least not taken of one hand kept in the equipment and not moved at all between pictures. Before trying that I was skeptical, not of auras but of Kirlian photography, after that I accepted Kirlian photography as real.
Now as for the different colors, again this is not a simple question. The higher the frequency the more energy the aura has, so red is a low energy state whereas violet is a high energy state, but there are a lot of other things, for example, a color may be crystal clear or it might be “muddy”. Generally muddy colors are not good and show some kind of illness or decay (not always physical - it can be mental illness or what I would call moral or spiritual illness) and then there are shapes. Different shaped anomalies can mean many things and this sort of takes us back to symbols, except in this case they are universal. Reading an aura is a difficult thing which requires a special gift. Anyone can learn to see auras if they are interested and willing to work at it and to a certain degree you can use a set of nicely defined guidelines to tell you what the aura “says” but that is only good for a general reading and although in most cases the reading will be ok, in some cases it will be way off. Only someone with a talent at reading auras is able to do a reliable job of it.

thank you for the comments...I only had that one time exposure to Kirlian photography and was very impressed by it
I guessed that you would know more about this than me. My next question, and probably I'll write about it, would be about regression and past lives...I tried it and have to take it with a grain of salt as I couldn't regress into a past live for some reason or other. The first time was time...didn't have enough at the class and the second time I don't know why...maybe I fought it but don't know...
But it does work wonders for this lifetime...I remember one person in class wanted to go back to such and such a date when she had a car accident and remember who was at fault as her memory was blurry about it. Not only she remembered but was crying and got emotional etc. and her crying set off another memory on another student about some operation she had as a child and it brought back unpleasant memories of the pain of the operation. At the end of the class one left still in tears and the other left with some pain (real memories) on her side.
Impressive stuff !!

Well, this is interesting stuff, and I have experienced and studied auras and kirlian photography, Dreamdrifter has given a good overview of symbolism, and what struck me was my experience of Reiki and healing.
For Reiki masters symbols have different meanings, and when they are using symbols to realign somebody the healer does not verbally pass on the symbol to the patient.
It is only once you want to be attuned to reiki that the symbols will be given to you, this is done slowly and over a period of time.
When I first went to receive Reiki healing, about six years ago, I had no idea how it worked or what to expect. I did however know about auras and had an idea of what different colours symbolised.
Whilst receiving the healing, I had more than one vision, the first one exploded from my third eye, initially I had a very strong purple vortex, which then exploded into a white light. This white light led me on a journey, along a stream on a small craft - I then reached a beautiful place full of hills and tree's and birds. I left the craft and climbed up a hill, where I found a very small monestry. I remember feeling totally at peace and could feel the warm glow of the sun. I entered the monastry, once inside I realised I was in a cave which was full of glistening crystal amethyst and quartz crystal. There was an alter, at the alter lay a goblet and many other artifacts including a large book.
I kept having this swirly symbol flash up in my mind and I remember being told that the book held the key, but was open to individual interpretation and perception, and could not be read by fools. I remember being told that if I looked after myself this would have a knock on effect thus enabling me to look after others and encouraging them to look after themselves.
Strangely tears started to roll down my face, I realised that life could be so simple, yet we make it so difficult.
I believe that monastry symbolised my heart, and the hearts of us all, and it showed me how beautiful and delicate the heart is. Somewhere I read the heart holds all our emotions not our brain.
I was aware of the Reiki healer and two other sets of hands.
I left the monastry and returned to the craft, by this time I felt the need to open my eyes.
The Reiki healer asked me how I felt, I told her about my experience and she said she had felt two other people in the room, she was also suprised that I had picked up the swirling symbol as this was very similar to the one she had been using to realign me!
From then on I used Reiki and went onto become a level 2 Reiki healer, I feel this helps with my work.
Auras are a brilliant way of understanding someone, I have had my Kirlian photo taken on a few occasions and gradually overtime my colour has changed from bright orange and red, to blue, green and purple.
I find it fairly easy to read aura photo's and believe they are a good indication as to what is occuring within the soul.

Are these colors of the auras related to chakras?

RollingC said on Oct 13, 2006....
I'm afraid I don't know what chakras means...even though I've experienced this it's still all new to me and the different manifestations...for instance, the healing pendelum? that was shown to me by my wife...she's into alternative healing and aroma therapy.
Like a pendulum on a string. It's a medium/small size object. The object is shaped like a teardrop (doesn't have to be stone, but the shape is important) with the string attached to the round end and you hold it over the aflicted area of the body.
First you touch the portion of the body holding the pendulum by the end of the string...then, keeping your hand still, you move it up a few inches or so and wait a few seconds. If the area is in pain...like knotted muscles on your back due to tensions, stress or whatever...the pendulum starts rotating and moving as if detecting an energy displacement (as it was told to me) The holder of the pendulum then starts to gently rotate the pendulum in the opposite direction while thinking healing thoughts and praying to the angels and God to intervene and heal said area and person and keeps the pendulum there until it stops.
It sounds like some kind of magic but it works...the only thing I'll say about that is that it worked for me like an aspirin...it took the aches and pain from my back (during a stressful period that I was going through)... but temporarily only...the knot came back the next day.
My wife is a little bit into alternative healing and she showed it to me. Before I used to say baloney to all this but now I realize there's lots that I don't know and although I'm comfortable with the faith I got there's nothing wrong with learning the extent that our minds can take us in searching the limitations of our capabilities, for I feel this is an example of the transfer of energy from one individual to another...but have no way to explain or theorize that....

Chakras are the energy meridians of the body. They are like little vortex around certain parts of the body.
There are seven I believe starting from the head, called the crown chakra, followed by the third eye chakra, the throat, the heart, the solar plexus, the sacral chakra- and there is one more and my mind has gone blank........... I will get back to you............ they are indeed associated with a colour.

RC: I don't know much about past life stuff, I feel that dealing with today is more important than dealing with yesterday :-D
I do find it interesting that almost every person I have known or read about who has done past life stuff all seem to have been someone famous, or close to someone famous at some time. I think I have run across 5 people who were Cleopatra. This tends to make me wonder. I'd be a lot less sceptical if there were a few more people who had been peasents, given that well over 95% of the people who have ever existed have been peasents. I'm left wondering why nobody insignificant ever seems to be reincarnated, just people who were very important. -

Hi RollingC:
I was just reading some of your old posts from long before I found soulcast. Just be careful. This advice is coming from a "been there done that" soul. I know its hard, because your wife is into alternative healing and new age stuff. I know some Christians that act an awful lot like new age junkies I have known, so it's not any one portion of humanity that has the corner on the "ohhhh, ahhhh" market! Find the Truth, and ask Him (and I don't mean me ; ) Ask Him to BE your discernment.

Thank you Truthsayer....
Someday we should get into a discussion...or maybe just compare notes....about the subject of marriage and relationships...not to mention having a relationship with our Lord. I think my wife was a gift from Him and also a mission as the "gift" came with complications that were unexpected. But I will continue to do the best that I can....with His help of course....as without His presence I can't do anything.
Thanks for dropping by and Peace be with you...

And also with you...
Marriage is complicated. I know people, and the Word says, be ye not unequally yoked...but, that doesn't account for who that person really is, inside, or, who they may be able to express in the future. He desires to set us all free. For some, change comes from inside a relationship.
And, God exists outside of time and space; we tend to forget that. I wouldn't recommend my "kind" of marriage to others, but I was definitely called to it. It has been the hardest thing I have ever done, and the most rewarding thing I have ever done.
My children have always been a joy, and I do not mean to detract from them at all. But I have purposed myself to stay married, like the Lord stays with us. I think you know what I mean. It is all worth it now, and in the end. You are His expression to whomever He wills; I think He, at the very least, wills that we be Him, with our spouse. I get you.
Again, peace be with you, as well.

I just started getting interested in auras and will be blogging about it soon. I still have a very hard time seeing them, though. -
RollingC said on Aug 22, 2008....
It's actually very easy Kruu....the only problem is that you have to learn (for me anyway) both to relax and concentrate (on the person) at the same time.
When I get into a contemplative mood listening to the liturgy at mass is when it usually " turns itself on " and sometimes I even see colors.
If I'm worried about something or have nagging thoughts about anything I cannot see them at all.
