As has already been mentioned, the auras and energy fields of the human are multidimensional, each dimension becoming apparent to perception only via a different kind or level of clairvoyance.
Several levels or thresholds of clairvoyance operating simultaneously seems to be what the Mahatmas meant by LUCIDITY.
SHIFTING THRESHOLDS OF CLAIRVOYANCE
In my experiencing the multidimensional situation became increasingly problematical in that boundaries of the numerous dimensions usually are not distinct, and sometimes often blend into each other.
Several types of clairvoyance have been mentioned in earlier chapters—such as X-ray, medical, micro- and macro-clairvoyance, traveling clairvoyance and spirit-seeing clairvoyance.
To these could be added sensitivity to earthquakes, dowsing, and sexuality—and telepathy, too, which can be described as a kind of extending clairvoyance across distances and through barriers.
If some part of these differing clairvoyant thresholds manifest simultaneously, then a mass (and a mess) of beautiful energies flickering, coming and going, can result.
MIND FILTERS BLOCKING CLAIRVOYANCE
Another situation not identified in any source available to me is that if the being-energy-body “decides,” so to speak, to manifest in one or two particular dimensions, then the rest vanish, at least temporarily.
But this vanishing also means that they disappear from clairvoyant view.
In this regard, it would appear that many clairvoyants seeing one or two kinds of dimensional energy activity might not notice others.
This might have something to do with the dimensions, thought systems, or beliefs the clairvoyants themselves are working in. For example, it is quite well understood that mental conditioning (for whatever reason) establishes “filters” in the mind.
These often prevent certain kinds of observing processes. Thus, a clairvoyant who is prudish regarding sexuality might not be enabled to see sexuality manifestations in the auras.
This is to say that the extent of aura seeing may be dependent on what fits into a clairvoyant’s given reality and/or knowledge levels.
As it is, an extensive survey of reports and literature regarding clairvoyant perception of auras reveals that sexualizing energies are seldom mentioned.
Considering that sexualizing energies are important, and that if not clairvoyantly seen, they are often sensed and literally felt by others, something here becomes recognizable because of its absence.
THE DOUBLE PROBLEM OF NOT ENOUGH CLAIRVOYANCE
AND TOO MUCH LUCIDITY
IF human vitalizing energies do exist, and IF our species has the universal capability of sensing-seeing them via various kinds of clairvoyance, then there can be the problem of having too little clairvoyance.
On the other hand, if the multidimensionality factor is incorporated, then sensing-seeing too much via lucidity can also become something of a problem.
For comparison, if ten different movies are shown simultaneously on the same screen, each on top of one another, then the whole might come to look more like a mess of flickering luminosities.
I was not exactly aware that the latter problem of TOO MUCH could exist as my very own lucidity increased by sitting in front of my very own copper mirror. In any event, I am sometimes a stalwart soul regarding psychic things, and I persevered the best I could.
I was well along into the complex difficulties regarding INCREASES in lucidity when the first real crisis became apparent. This occurred when I had to take a bus or subway somewhere.
Stepping into a subway car now meant stepping into the bewildering arrays of auras of all the other riders—or into a riot of conflicting energies, the whole of which was both breath-taking and sapping. The auras of some people are very “bad” and/or “negative” in an “ugh!” kind of way.
At first I made the best of it, studying the auras of this or that passenger. But then in one young man’s aura I perceived, of all things, a rectangular black “bar” complete with 90-degree angular corners, just outside of his body over the solar plexus area. I had no idea AT ALL what this was, and still don’t.
Then there were all kinds of energies pumping out of bodies and jumping hither and thither—and into the bio-bodies of OTHERS, including mine. In short, too much of this had, as it were, become really too much.
TURNING LUCIDITY OFF
I tried to turn it off myself. But to little avail. I soon realized I needed help.
I telephoned the clairvoyant healer, Carmen de Barazza, an old friend whom I trusted implicitly, but didn’t see very often. All I indicated to her over the telephone was that I REALLY needed to talk to her, but didn’t explain why.
“Wow!” Carmen said, when I first walked into her office, “all of your chakras are WIDE OPEN!”
I said, “Well, for Chrissakes, let’s figure out how to close them down!” I explained everything to her.
She “tested” my lucidity—and flattered me by saying that I could “see” many things she couldn’t.
With her help, we managed to bring about a kind of SMALLER LUCIDITY that more or less responded to my conscious control, a process that needed about ten visits to the wonderful Carmen.
It’s too bad that the Mahatmas did not provide warning provisos in their suggestions regarding how to enhance LUCIDITY
Meanwhile, I occasionally worked with three medical doctors to help them diagnose difficult patients. However, my lack of detailed medical knowledge about diseases and conditions proved to be a drawback. In this particular work, I sometimes saw the ominous dull black auras.
It was very hard for me to say that these forecast approaching physical death. And I DIDN’T WANT to say it. What if I was wrong?
I also saw a lot of auras with dull black “holes” in them, especially in a number of AIDs patients. I simply didn’t have the heart to continue.
EXPERIENCING A SIMPLE EXAMPLE
OF MEDICAL CLAIRVOYANCE
However, what I consider to be my most fulfilling example of “medical clairvoyance” occurred when a complete stranger who had heard of me came with the complaint that one of his toes had itched for about six months to his complete distraction.
X-ray and other tests had been taken. But no doctors could say what was causing the itch.
I examined the guilty toe with “medical clairvoyance,” at first seeing nothing. Then I did “micro-clairvoyance” and Voila! There was a very tiny splinter lodged in the callous of the toe. It was so tiny you needed a good magnifying glass to see it. We proceeded to dig it out with a sewing needle—after which the itch promptly vanished.
CLAIRVOYANCE OF SEXUALIZING ENERGIES CONCRETIZES
But what I did have the heart to continue was to sit on the front stoop of my building and examine the auras of people walking past. Subway cars were not ideal environments in which to study auras, but from the stoop I could be detached enough to inspect a great deal.
I became particularly interested in the parts of the auras and energy bodies that had to do with sexual matters. And this I was quite up to, as almost everyone is, if only secretly, perhaps.
Thus, I more or less abandoned “medical clairvoyance.” Instead, I began focusing on another form of clairvoyance appropriately called, one should think, “the energetics of sexuality clairvoyance.” The results of this effort will be described in Part IV just ahead.
Sexuality clairvoyance/lucidity has heretofore remained unidentified in Theosophical or any other sources, but, as we have seen in Part I, had already been sporadically encountered by others.
Along these lines, Manhattan is rich in having real life sources—such as bars and other places frequented by those of different sexual “orientations.”
At such places it was very easy to discern the somewhat similar sexualizing energy aspects of those “birds of a feather who like to hang out together.”
Everyone, of course, possesses sexualizing energies in their energy bodies and sensoria—this seemingly a mandate of nature—even though some may believe otherwise, or even resent the fact.
With this fascinating clairvoyant project underway, I continued visiting Carmen about twice a week to describe and discuss all of these energies, in the hope that she could help me understand.
And, in good part, she did—although she, too, did not know what the “geometric energies” were, and which I occasionally saw in others in all kinds of different shapes.
