Dicyanin glass banned for seeing auras?


(Wicked MysteriousWicked Mysterious Podcast. Put on dicyanin-coated goggles and strap in for a weird story. This is about the creation of dicyanin glass. Consider subscribing for more weird content.

Human chakras (energy wheels)
It is fascinating what is hidden from us. Edgar Cayce, America's "Sleeping Prophet," gave detailed instructions on how to build a device that is able to see the aura he spoke of so frequently in his readings (edgarcayce.org). Where is this device? More importantly, where are those original instructions? If they still existed unaltered, someone would have assembled one.

The Buddha could see auras and had a tremendous one himself that others may have been able to see as it extended out a league, according to legend.

Crystals might help in building and seeing auras
Humans, science has recently discovered, emit light. If so, it must vary due to mood, health, vibrancy, youth, emotions, mental states, and so on. It would hardly be static and lifeless. Kirlian photography records something beyond an electrical discharge -- because if it did not, how could one explain that a hand with a missing finger when viewed by Kirlian photography shows the missing finger? A freshly cut leaf shows the missing piece as if it is still there energetically.
Scientific studies

It is one of the first Western medical studies of the aura or "human atmosphere," proposing its testable existence, nature, and possible use in medical diagnosis and prognosis.

In its conviction that our human energy field is an indicator of health and mood, Dr. Kilner's study resembles the later work of Harold Saxton Burr. However, while Burr relied on voltmeter readings, Dr. Kilner, working before the advent of semiconductor technology, attempted to invent devices by which the naked eye could be trained to observe "auric" activity.

He hypothesized that it was ultraviolet radiation, stating that the phenomena he saw were not affected by electromagnets [2].

Dicyanin coated glass slides were called "Kilner Screens" [3]. The slides were treated with alcoholic solutions of variously colored dyes and held to train the eyes to perceive electromagnetic radiation outside the normal spectrum of visible light [4], namely, N-rays.


"A fine aura" of a [fine] naked woman
Treatment of the screens notably involved dicyanin, a toxic coal tar dye originally used in infrared sensitization of photographic plates.

While this dye is rumored to be banned by the US government due to its paranormal properties, these claims are inaccurate.

Dr. Kilner reported that long-term viewing through these screens was not recommended as they "had a very deleterious effect upon our eyes, making them very painful." But after regular viewing and sufficient training, one could dispense with the apparatus [and still see auras].

According to his study, Dr. Kilner and his associates were able, on many occasions, to perceive auric formations, which he called the "Etheric Double," the Inner Aura and the Outer Aura, extending several inches from patients' naked bodies.

His book gives instructions by which the reader might construct and use similar devices [2]. More

Blue eyes are not blue: illusory gene


Asian born with blue eyes? Yes. "I'm not a fan of reality" (pinterest.co.uk)



Blue eyes go way back on Earth.
We all probably know a number of people who have blue eyes (and may even possess a pair ourselves), but just about 10,000 years ago, blue-eyed humans were unheard of. [What about snow dogs like malamutes and Egyptian cats?]

The Buddha's blue eyes from Central Asia
For a long time, all humans had brown eyes, until one northern European with a genetic mutation [brought on by alien hybrid breeding, mating, abduction, and genetic manipulation] brought a whole new look to the human eyeball [on this planet].
We come in peace and mean humans no harm.
To this day, every blue-eyed person is a descendant of that first azure-eyed [being]. [We're these the ETs who saw a human and said, "Come, let us make Man in our image, after Our likeness? Probably.]

In the Americas, anything is possible (Brazil)
Similar to skin color, eye color comes down to the amount of melanin, or pigment, that can be found in the iris. More melanin means darker eyes. And eyes that lack melanin in the first layer of the iris appear to be blue instead of brown.

In other words, blue eyes are not eyes that have blue pigment, they are eyes that lack brown pigment.

How does this happen? In 2008, researchers at the University of Copenhagen determined that people with blue eyes possess a genetic mutation that basically "turns off" the eyes' ability to create melanin. More

Ethnobotany Walk: Autumn Plant Dyes (10/15)

Chris Nyerges, School of Self-Reliance; Ananda (DBM), Xochitl, Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
Enjoy a plant day with guest leader and fiber-arts artisan Amy Stewart and Rob Remedi for another plant-dyeing and ethnobotany class, this time focusing on the plants and colors of the fall season.

The native plants featured are black walnut (brown), cactus-cochineal (pink), sagebrush (yellow), and orange (an over-dye).

Chumash Cecilia Garcia and Dr. Adams, USC
The class will also have an ethnobotany walk. This class starts with a short easy walk identifying plants and their uses, as well as which ones yield color.

Upon return from our walk, we'll learn the plant dyeing process and how to prepare different fibers (wool, cotton, silk) for dyeing, then make the dye bath and take home a fabric of choice.

This is a fun, informative, and hands-on class, exploring nature's colorful and useful bounty.

10 Places to Relive the '60s

Peace tees for sale near Woodstock in Bethel, NY 8/14/09 (Reuters/Eric Thayer).

Many of the most crucial events of the 1960s — including the civil rights victories, antiwar protests, and the sweeping cultural revolution — left few physical traces. All but a handful of the decade's famous counterculture hangouts shuttered their doors long ago, and you won't find any monuments where major student uprisings took place. Sure, you can drive up to Woodstock [a farm] to see where you once reveled in the mud, but there will be no public intoxication, tents, fires, or camping.

As the organizers of Woodstock in 1994 and 1999 probably learned, that history can't be recreated. "What's celebrated about the Sixties are a couple of things," says Bryant Simon, a history professor at Temple University. "It was a moment when youth ruled, and, secondly, there was a certain kind of freedom of expression, of dance, of bodies. Getting high was sort of a third thing — there's a sort of sweetness to those memories. And it was a moment where it seemed that idealism ruled, a certain kind of wide-eyed, sweet, and tender idealism."

Maybe we can't go back, but it's still possible to capture the spirit of the decade by attending festivals like Bonnaroo, strolling through neighborhoods that invoke fond memories, and reliving landmark events through engaging exhibits.
