How to Heal a Broken Aura

By Victorinus

We have been told that the human aura is man’s spiritual skin or spiritual covering. How does one protect one's physical skin or covering from friction and breakage in the outer world? Is it not by covering it or protecting it with matter of a stronger substance than the physical body? The same law applies to the other vehicles of man. The aura must be protected by a stronger mantle or covering, and what is that? Spiritual fire, light, love.

Spiritual fire is the healing power of God on all planes.

You ask, how can one use this spiritual fire consciously, to protect one’s own aura or that of another from becoming torn? It is so simple that it is difficult because of its simplicity. Do not only visualize, but believe and feel yourself to be completely immersed in light, a vital, vibrant light. Take this as a daily practice before starting the day and see what happens. As your consciousness increases and your awareness develops. You will discover that this light is in all things (Just as Jacob Boehme tried to describe it), only man is unaware of it and hence he uses it not.

As mans consciousness develops, he becomes more and more aware of the tremendous forces that surround him everywhere and that they are there for him to use and to share with others.

This light that we speak of, we have referred to as Spiritual Fire, for it is the very Essence of fire itself, or the radiance of our Heavenly Father. It is a ray of such vital protection because it is the Essence of Life itself.

This may all sound too complicated or too simple, according to or depending upon the student’s individual mentality. We are striving to simplify many things, for man s tendency is to complicate and involve fundamental truths. By mentally bathing yourselves in Spiritual Light or Fire, just what are you actually doing? Is it not surrounding yourselves with Light? Are you not consciously and with serious intent placing yourselves in a position to receive the healing rays or vibrations that surround you at all times, but most people know it not?

Friends, the door to most all of our troubles, whether large or small, could well be labeled with one word-fear. Fear in some form or other. Think of all the vices of man 95% of them, if not 100% have their basis or origin in fear, or the absence of love.

Think that over!

To heal another’s aura is very difficult, in fact, impossible, unless one has succeeded in surcharging one s own aura with the spiritual fire to such an extent that it over-flows and then heals and helps all those with whom one comes in contact. Otherwise we can only teach each one to heal his aura for and by himself.

The early Christians had access to this Spiritual Fire with great ease, because the aura of the Cosmic Christ spirit was so potently felt by them. As a result, they carried this spiritual fire (or one phase of the Holy Spirit), into all their activities, and their aura alone performed many healing miracles.

We are striving to use very simple terms for very abstract Truths in order to simplify what we are endeavoring to tell you. You ask, "Whence comes this Spiritual or Invisible Fire when we visualize it about us?" Well, it is there all the time. It is everywhere. Your visualization simply brings it into focus.

The holy fire (or one phase of the Holy Spirit), is a fact in nature and every living soul has access to it. All that is required is the will and desire to reach for it and to be in it and of it. Become aware of it and its all-pervading protection from all ill. It requires no magic but consciousness of its existence, and a desire to become a part of it. It can be likened unto the man who walks in the sunlight or in the shadow. Both are there. The choice is his.

In the realms of matter the things of the earth and out of the earth are important to sustain and repair man's physical structure or body.

In the realms of mind and spirit the things of the Mind and of the spirit become the sustainer of Mind and Spirit.

The human aura, being an "in-between" condition, requires both Mind and Spirit, using matter as a vehicle, to repair and sustain it. Light is of the realm of spirit. Visualizing is the realm of the mind, and so, by visualizing yourselves in Light you are unconsciously and yet consciously co- ordinating both mental and spiritual faculties and setting them to work.

When trying to help another whose aura you have reason to believe is shattered or torn, visualize such an one completely bathed or immersed in Light. Have no fear that this can hurt anyone. Light never hurts anyone. Darkness? yes. Light? never.

If, through your effort, you succeed in placing a Light around another, the aura instinctively will absorb that light and the aura will automatically be healed. For the spiritual cells of the aura will co-ordinate. If you can have yourself or those whom you may desire to help actually in sunlight it will aid your efforts.

The glory of Light is all about you, and yet you see it not.

There are persons who have a very exhausting aura. They are really unconscious and unintentional vampires and have given rise to many legends. By exhausting, we mean that they actually do exhaust all those who are around them. They have a porous or spongy aura and they unconsciously absorb and draw vitality from those around them. We have already touched upon this in the previous lesson.

In such cases you cannot help them as easily, at first, as you must protect yourself. Follow the same course. Visualize yourself bathed in light and protected by this light. If your visualization is intense enough the light will effectually shut out your aura from all that surrounds it. This is why some teachers refer to this light as a "Wall of Protection."

Man is only beginning to sense the existence of invisible rays and vibrations that surround him. As his consciousness increases and his ability to use these powers constructively develop, he will learn more and more of the wonders that surround him at all times. The first step in such increased consciousness is awareness of the thing itself. The fact that one becomes aware of anothers aura is an indication of the awakening of Consciousness (in that particular sphere). The next step is control and co-ordination or balanced activity. This same law applies to all of man’s vehicles. First, he becomes aware, before he can use anything.

Therefore, regard with joy the fact that you are aware of the aura of others, but do not stop there. Use your increased Consciousness for good, shedding Light and Love. He who misuses any powers, not only loses the powers entrusted to him but finds the results of his misuse all returning like boomerangs from which there is no escape. When man surrounds himself with this Light, his aura not only becomes impervious to other auric emanations, but he can associate with all types of auras without any detriment to himself and of great help to all those whom he contacts. Look about you and you will find living examples of what we mean

In time, man will learn to heal through the aura when he has learned the value of many things he is unaware of now.

Friends and coworkers, to you it is given to do much good for mankind. Stretch forth your mind, expand your souls and permit the Light of the holy Spirit to shine through you.

Use this prayer when about to visualize for anothers healing; May the Spiritual healing Light of god, that pervades all Things, completely surround and protect you (give name of person here ) be thou full of light and love . Thou art full of Light and Love. Thou Art protected by the Invisible Light of Love."

Then visualize Light completely enveloping the person (be it yourself or others) repeat the last sentence three times. Feel and mean every word of it and while saying these words, visualize the Light actually shining.

What you actually accomplish by this mantram is the focusing of your own consciousness to the reality that surrounds you by becoming aware of the light. You then proceed to absorb it and then to redistribute it.

Why is it necessary for one to visualize light surrounding anyone if Light is everywhere? Is it not presumptuous on our part? If Light is, why should we have to visualize it to help another? If, everything is immersed in this spiritual fire or light, what need is there for us to visualize something that is? This question is well taken. Remember our constant reference to physical analogies in the spiritual realms in reality, the reference should be, "As above, so below; And as in the spirit, so in matter but to make things clear to you, we reverse the analogy to; "As below, so above."

0n the physical plane, in order to make fire visible through flame, you cause physical friction to bring into physical manifestation what is everywhere. Fire likewise, in the realm of mind, light is everywhere, but in order to have the Spiritual Fire or Light manifest, it requires friction in the mental realm produced by Thought. We do not mean that the thought should be discordant but that thought itself produces in the realm of mind, the same effect as physical activity or friction does on the physical plane.

Friction is matter that releases fire. Thoughts release Spiritual Fire or light. It is a matter of mental chemistry; just as fire or rather flame is the product of physical chemistry. Have we made this point clear?

Remember always, that thought has vibrational power. Just as man is now devoting his energies to physical science, in time to come he will devote more and more attention to real mental science, for the physical science will lead him to the invisible causes deeper and deeper as his capacity to understand increases.

We have told you somewhat of the healing power of the Spiritual Fire and Light. The process is called by some mystics, holding the one to be healed in the Light. The phrase is correct but it often fails simply because those who so glibly use it do not always understand all its implications.

In our present stage of understanding, we have come to acknowledge that mental science and medical science often overlap. The symptomatology of every day conditions is easily recognized and we seek to drench the system with medications, or we rush to a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst or psychologist to have the condition corrected. Such conditions cannot be permanently cured by any of this latter group for the simple reason that, as the condition originates within, the cure must come also from within and by one's own self. Else there is no complete merit developed.

Here are some of the symptoms that we have in mind. Others will undoubtedly occur to you. Every child nowadays knows more about the general idea of physiology, anatomy and hygiene than did the doctors of medieval times.

For instance, correlating the mental and physical reactions, we know that fear and worry affect seriously the kidneys from our knowledge of the part that the adrenaline plays in time of great fear. Sustained and continuous worry break down the kidneys. Emotional crises, large or small directly affect the heart, and therefore the pulse and circulation. Desire expressed by appetite, affects the digestion and the functions of assimilation and excretion. Great and prolonged grief affects the brain-cells and nervous system. Intense love of the right kind undoubtedly gives greater will to live and a stronger hold on life, hence a quickening of the vital organs. Hate consumes, not only the mind that indulges it but the tissues that support the vehicle through which it expresses. Anticipation and looking forward quickens all the nerve centers, keeps them "on their toes and vitalizes the" whole system. There is far greater real pleasure in anticipation than in realization with the resultant "let down."

Now in each case instanced, there is a consumption of energy and a consumption that spells waste, for there is no adequate compensation of a constructive nature for the energy that has been expended. Where there is consumption of anything, there is fire. Not simply flame, of course, but consumption of tissue and material. It is the same fire we have been speaking about but wasted, wrongly used for we can mis-use spiritual things and spiritual power just as well as we mis-use so-called material things and material flame and we know full well how wasteful material flame and fire can be.

So, instead of drenching the system with medicines, why not stop the causes at their points of origin the mind? Don t take kidney pills, stop worrying. Don t take purgatives, stop stuffing or taking unbalanced meals with horrific chemical mixtures in the stomach as a result. Stop hating and turn to loving. Cherish appreciation’s and abandon resentments. Do not fear. Face facts; meet them courageously and causes of fear will disappear. Do not become unduly agitated over everything that occurs. Cultivate poise, balance and equilibrium. Do not revile against the world. Make the world your friend. You can do it.

It is quite simple to understand that whenever we feel any such symptoms, we can be sure that a broken aura is indicated. Others will notice the results of your broken aura even though they may not see the aura itself or know the details. For the feelings we are aware of are expressed to others around us. For instance, how often we hear it said of someone, "He is simply impossible or simply unbearable today." "I cannot do anything with her, she is in one of her moods." Now the way these statements are phrased show that the moods referred to are not the normal or permanent moods but something unusual. The unusual attracts attention. Such moods or indications are not cured with drugs but by the mind and spirit of the individual. The fact that one feels himself to be persona non grata at a time, when normally that one is sought by all, ought to be a sign that something is wrong.

Do we not each and all experience such periods? Well, why not try healing your broken aura at such times and not the seeming miracle? Knowing the sources from which these symptoms arise, why not try the abolition, by the strength of your mind and spirit, of the causes, worry, fear, anger, hate, resentment, gross appetite, or emotional extremes. There is something to be said for the alleged European culture that teaches the control of the emotions and that it is not "good form" to allow one’s emotions to become too publicly known, seen or felt. Control is what is needed. Then, when you become aware of the need for this, hold yourself or one you wish to help in the light as we have suggested, and note how quickly nature herself will repair the damage.

When we feel out of sorts, or on edge with the world, just remember it is not the world s fault, it is our fault, and we must repair the breaches in our broken aura. Breaches in any sort of wall allow free entrance to just the things we want most to keep out and if we have a breach in our aura, it lets in the destructive vibrations, thought-forms and ideas that radio science has shown us the atmosphere about us is surcharged with everywhere and at all times.

It is necessary to have a good idea of what the aura really is in order to understand its importance and the thought we should give to it. Some people, when pressed for their concepts concerning the aura show that, to them, it is somewhat in the nature of a sort of gas all around the body. Well, the idea is not bad but it is more than a gas. It is a compound of several things. Basically, it is composed of emanations not unlike those of radium in its active state. But these emanations do not all come exclusively from the physical body. They come from the physical, etheric and astral vehicles and also from the mental "stuff" or photons.

The etheric body extends only a very short distance about the body and is almost perfectly concentric with the body. The astral body is not concentric with the physical but overlaps about 12 to 16 inches and its aura therefore gives extension although more impalpably and tenuously. The mental aura goes to a considerable distance, sometimes several feet, and this is why we feel the presence of another personality in the same room with us, although in the darkness, we cannot see the person. When going into a strange room, one can often tell whether or not another is present though unseen, simply through contact with the mental aura of the other person.

So the emanations from all these vehicles, etheric, astral, physical and mental, are mixed in what is commonly called the aura and a break in the emanations of one, is apt to cause a similar gap in the others.

Have you ever laid a sheet of thin paper over the poles of a horseshoe magnet and then dusted fine iron filings upon the paper? Try it, and note how perfectly symmetrically those filings arrange themselves. That is because they are conforming to the power of the magnetic field. You cannot see that field ordinarily, but the simple experiment proves that it is there. It is the same way with the auric field. If there is a gap and you could do some experiment similar to that with the magnet, you would find that, whereas normally the field was harmonious and symmetrical in its lines of force and energy, the presence of a gap would prove the broken aura by the absence of lines of force in the locations affected. Normally the emanations described flow together harmoniously. With a broken aura, the flow is impeded. Separations amongst the emanations occur. These express as various kinds of distress and such signs of distress should not be ignored any more that cutting, breaking or otherwise abrading your physical skin, for remember, the aura is the spiritual skin.

In this mass of auric emanations, there are vortices of energy that are not organs, but embryo sense-centers that will become more and more definite as one develops ones spiritual powers and insight or as one evolutionally develops the individual vehicles, etheric astral and mental, into true bodies.

There is a continuous interchange of the sub-photonic matter of these emanations of the auric skin, with the ethers, the chemical, life, light and reflecting ethers. It is due partly to this continuous interchange that the phenomenon of consciousness is made possible. When under the influence of an anesthetic, one loses consciousness, it is because the etheric flow is shut off from the brain and the cerebro-spinal nervous system.

These details are not cited here to make the subject of the broken aura more confusing, but in order to show that there is a very definite reason for having the aura at all. It serves a unique and all-important purpose and anything that does that deserves immediate attention just as seriously as any of the more apparent portions of the physical vehicle.

The importance we have emphasized is this by taking care of your aura, you are helping to perfect the vehicles you shall build in the future. You cannot see your brain, yet you know you must take care of it. It is essential. Dissection has made the human brain visible to surgeons and medical students. But you must take care of your mind and keep it healthy or you will be worse than useless to yourself or to the world yet no human being has ever seen a mind. Still, you would be quite indignant if someone attested that you had no mind. How do you know you have a mind? Simply by the mental phenomena produced. Then, my friend, if you find that certain types of phenomena accompany your moods and you feel certain from other indications that there is nothing organically wrong with the physical organs that correspond to those moods, is it not worth looking deeper and inquiring what lies back of the mental phenomena and moods? It would seem reasonable to do so. Thoughtful people are doing so and in due time, a new world or realm of therapy will be revealed. Go to work upon yourself. Study yourself not in dangerous introspection, but in careful, sensible observation.

By such effort, and the corresponding reactions it develops, you will unconsciously be attracting that same Spiritual Fire of which we have already spoken, in its healing nature, because the inner consciousness will help you to apply it rightly.

Some day, this will be found to belong, not within the realm of the mystical or occult, but within the domain of every day practical science. The results are markedly powerful for the process seems absurdly simple. But great results nearly always ensue from comparatively simple origins. Most obvious of all will be your own wonderment at the attitude the world and your friends manifest toward you. It will seem to you that you yourself are the same as ever and that you have done nothing at all, yet the world seems to draw closer and closer to you in the friendliest way. Yet, my friend, it will have been you who have done the changing. You have been working with subtle powers and energies, in subtle phases of matter or substance, in the subtlety of mental activity, unseen and unknown to anyone else, but the outer results will make their effect known most potently.

Let the spiritual fire, light and love do their inner work upon you and upon your aura in the ways we have outlined, they never fail. They cannot fail because they are divine and they are cooperating with the divine in you and divine power never fails.

Study this lesson on the Broken Aura. It is important. We have brought it forth at this time because so many people need it. Heal your own. Then heal the broken aura of others and even though you are not clairvoyant, we have given you the signs of it and the indications that point toward it. We have told you how to heal it. Prove your ability to use this knowledge and this instruction.
