QUESTION: In modern times, some speak of seeing auras (areas of light surrounding an individual). Where auras referred to in ancient times?
Yes, Laozi, Sakamuni Buddha, Jesus, Virgin Mary, and many past figures were described as having such an aura within their own time period in history. It is interesting to note that such auras are multi-cultural. Never. It was only in recent years (around 1940s) that people made reference to such phenenomen. Auras around symbols of ancient people (like Jesus) have only appeared in paintings and drawings in recent years.
