I wish I could see auras naturally. I know all about them: what they are, the many layers, and how they affect the interaction with others, be they human, animal, or other. The only time I saw auras was as a young teenager, around the ages of fourteen to about eighteen. It was during the late 1960's and early 1970's. That was when I did LSD and similar hallucinogens I saw auras on everything and everybody. Inanimate objects became animate. I felt supremely happy. It was so awesome. I could also have a conversation with someone else who was "tripping" and neither of us spoke a word. I was aware that I had all the knowledge of the universe and I felt so expansive as if I was one with the universe. That expansive feeling made me wish I had no physical body as it felt like a constricting and confining shell. It's difficult to explain to people what the experience was like.
I can only compare it to being on the other side.
People say that all the answers lie within us but I cannot access them. But during that time, which usually lasted about 10 hours, I did have all the answers. I did have definite access to the Akashic records as it is called. It was so incredible. I only wish I had taken advantage of the opportunity to learn from the experience. Instead, I just enjoyed it with my friends. Back then, the "acid" was all good. I never had a bad trip. I feel sorry for people today as the "real thing" no longer exists. Or if it does, I don't know where it is because I would love to do it again in my current state of mind and age. This time I would pay more attention to the experience. I would try to take advantage of the opportunity to truly grow and get the answers to the questions all humans ask: why am I here, what is my purpose, what is my path, etc. I am ever so grateful for the experience.
I can't advocate for drug use but want to suggest meditation as an alternative method of enlightenment. Drugs, to me, tend to remove the notion of attaching any logic to the experience.
Best,
Rob
