- There are many names for it but I prefer inner sight or second sight
- because that's what it is seeing in a second, different way.
- Sometimes a more accurate way. From here on when I capitalize the
- word See or any other declination of the verb "to see" I'll be
- talking about inner sight.
-
- I have always believed we were all born with ability of second sight
- but are told by the adults what we See isn't there and so by
- constant conditioning have it drummed out of us. Watch a child under
- 4 for a couple of hours notice how he becomes engaged by something
- you don't see and stares at it for a long time(for a baby that
- is)<smile>. He *does* See something you do not.
-
- The ability is usually there in early childhood but is drummed out
- of children by adults who can't See. School & society at large
- further reinforce this over time. Like any skill if you don't use it
- you lose it.
-
- Seeing is a natural occurrence in both man and some animals. Cat's
- can See. Abyssinian cats were bred in part for their Seeing and
- telepathic abilities. They used it as a means of communicating with the
- Egyptian priests & other Temple cats.
-
- When using second or inner sight you are using inner sight not your
- eyes so it makes no difference if you close your eyes to avoid
- distractions. For the novice it's often best to close your eyes. The
- image will appear the same place as regular images, in your mind.
- Things such as Auras & Ley lines are magnetic emanations from
- people, objects or the earth. It is essentially the same ability as
- Skrying only used in a broad rather than narrow focus.
-
- For me, now, it is merely a shift in perceptions. Like the difference
- between reading a book & looking a across the room. I use my eyes for
- both but in slightly different ways, shifting focus.
-
- It can be reacquired though patients, time & training. Just like any
- sport it takes time and effort to learn the game and get the body
- into shape to play the game. It can not be done overnight or without
- sweat, strain and sacrifice regardless of raw talent. Just like
- sports it takes a coach, trainer or Mentor to gain real mastery. To
- get really good results it takes a Mentor that can See to check your
- results and verify if you have it correct. When someone I am
- training Sees the world for the first time. It is a wondrous, joyous
- thing. They become almost child like in the fascination with the
- world and all that is in it...again, and yet for the first time!
-
- In the beginning I would observe while assisting my Mentors & others
- performing various Rituals on both the inner and mundane planes then
- afterward we would discuss all aspects of what I Saw & witnessed
- with my Mentors making corrections in my observations and analysis.
- Then I would try to duplicate the exact same Ritual with my Mentors
- observing, helping & correcting their pupil. Sloppy work was not
- tolerated at any stage. If I messed it up I had to begin again under
- the watchful eye of my Mentor. I learned to observe, think, analyze,
- compare & verify critically. Then ask questions, lots of questions!!
- Ponder & reflect, then more questions!! I make notes and references
- about everything, I still do. I am always sceptical until results
- are verified and repeated. I am also not opposed to stretching my
- thinking beyond the things that I know or in new ways. All these
- things can be Seen by a trained Mage. Including any Magick "raised"
- by someone else using power. Even if I do not understand the means
- or words I can See if the Magick had any real form or power. Any
- kind of real Magickal training subtly changes the aura permanently
- so that all who can See know what kind of power you can wield. This
- was standard training for Bishops of the early Church at one time.
- It was a direct means of Seeing that the Priest was doing his job
- correctly. It is sad it is no longer the common practice of the
- Church today.
-
- Ok, So now how to do it. It is essentially the same ability as
- skrying only used in a broad rather than narrow focus. So if you
- have any ability at skrying, practice, practice, practice, practice,
- practice. Unfortunately to get really good results it takes a Mentor
- that can See to check your results and verify if you have it
- correct. Try sensing the human aura first around the human body with
- your hand. That tells you where to "look". The nimbus around the
- head of a health adult usually extends from 3" to 20" from the head.
- Remember you are using second or inner sight not your eyes so it
- makes no difference if you close your eyes to avoid distractions.
- If you have your eyes open it sometimes helps to shift them out of
- focus and gaze beyond the object or person who's aura you wish to
- see. There are two parts to the animal aura the health or vitality
- of the animal and the emotions or feelings. It's the emotional
- content that can be shed or left on things or places. Such as
- feeling peaceful or calm in a church or temple and not knowing why.
- By constant use buildings and places build up auras of their own.
- Both good & bad. Sometimes they are influenced by a magnetic flux or
- ley line of mother Earth. All these things can be Seen by a trained
- Mage. Including any Magick "raised" by someone using power. Even if
- I do not understand the means or words I can See if the Magick had
- any real form or power. Any kind of real Magickal training subtly
- changes the aura permanently so that all who can See know what kind
- of power you can wield.

- For further reading I would suggest; "Thought forms" by Annie Besant &
- C. W. Leadbeater ISBN 8356-0008-4 & "Chakras" by C. W. Leadbeater
- ISBN 0-8356-0422-5 both have color plates. Sorry to keep throwing
- books at you but how else you goin' learn unless I come and camp on
- your doorstep<grin>. The colors are close but the real ones are more
- vivid, vibrant & dynamic because they are living.
