THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

On Sunday evening Miss E. Hunt, of Christchurch, gave the first of her series of lantern lectures m the Theosophical Hall. The subject, “The Human Aura—Effects of Emotions and Thoughts,” was of interest to all. Miss Hunt said that many scientists of to-day were proving the existence of the finer, or subtler, bodies of man, not ordinarily visible to the naked eye, but which might be photographed or even seen when the camera and eye had been rendered more sensitive by certain chemicals. A scientist had invented rays to render objects invisible — this was the obverse faculty to rendering visible objects invisible. Modern apparatus enabled electric impulses of the brain to be recorded on celluloid, while scientists could “ listen in ” to the rhythmic beatings of thought in the brain. Telepathy was an established fact. Colour, form and sound were inseparable. There were no dead objects, for everything was radio-active. The speaker then illustrated by coloured slides the affects of the various emotions on the aura of a man —e.g., bands of grey encompass a depressed person, while streams of light and energy radiate from one who is spiritually advanced. The aura of a savage is rugged and the colours muddy, while that of civilised man is a well defined oval filled with more beautiful colours.
