Fair enough, Ian. I apologize for my intemperate remarks to you. I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about this kind of thing, having actually seen auras. I get angry at the utter assurance of skeptics who can just dismiss any person's experiences in the blink of a neuron or label it a "hallucination"....just because they are so sure that if they don't believe in something themselves, well then, there can't possibly be anything real to it!

Such faith is just as blind as the faith of a religious fundamentalist who thinks his version of God is beyond question.

In either case the belief is based not on experience but on hearsay, assumption, mental habit...and the denial of the experiences of others.
