Man's Psychic Life

‘For thousands of years men have worked to multiply and amplify the sensations and perceptions entering their consciousness through the five senses, and it is this play on the keyboard of the senses that they call civilization and culture. Well, is this not rather meagre? However much we cultivate and refine our five senses,  they will always be severely limited in scope, for they belong to the physical plane. They will never be capable of exploring any reality above or beyond the physical. Until human beings recognize that there are other areas that invite exploration, other dimensions to see, touch and breathe, they will never experience new, richer, more far-reaching or subtler sensations. Each of our organs is specialized: it has its own particular function to perform, and it can convey only its own particular type of sensation. In order to experience other, new sensations, we must call into play those other, subtler organs and centres which we all possess.’

‘The aura has exactly the same functions as the skin. You could say that it is the skin of the soul which it surrounds and protects. It is also its sense organ, and finally, it is the means of communication which enables the soul to receive the Cosmic currents flowing through space and to communicate and exchange with others: with other human souls, other creatures of the universe, even with the stars in the heavens and with the Supreme Universal Soul.

Thanks to our aura, therefore, we benefit from a continuing relationship of reciprocal exchange with the forces of nature. The cosmic, planetary and zodiacal influences ceaselessly flowing through space reach out to touch us, and depending on the purity and sensitivity of our aura and the colours it contains, we may capture or fail to capture certain specific forces. Our aura, therefore, is like an antenna; it is an instrument which detects and receives messages, waves and forces coming to us from the length and breadth of the universe.’
