Am I seeing Energy???

Hmm interesting thread,
I too have had visuals for a long time, I see that one of those is definitely "Floaters" as explained by Just Theory and also the "wriggly worm" like beads of lights when looking at the sky (or any lit area). How ever many years ago I read a book on do it your self "pyschic" phenomena" and one of the easiest experiments was seeing auras. I can look at my hand and see a faint outline that goes out to maybe 4 - 5 mm around my fingers and more out at the tips When i move my hand the "outlines" sway like small clear flames. I can also see this on plants. But it is always a colorless effect, I guess I need more concentration.
If you want to try this, look in a mirror and concentrate on a spot 5 inches directly above your head, after a few minutes you can discern a clear outline around your head - see if you can get some color! I have never been able to do that.

It's blood rushing through the vessals in your retina it creates little black and white dots when you stare at a luminous source, this was explained to me by a doctor as he lasered the retina back onto my eyeball and I can tell you that is PAIN! As for seeing faces I'm afraid that's just the way the brain works, it's programmed to look for facial features and so you'll see them usually whereever you look especailly if your eyes are closed and your imagination kicks in.

I see it to. I meditated several hours per day for many years and I suspect this to be the cause. When I am relaxed I can see auras around people, and even humanoids flying in the air, I put this down to an overactive imagination in latter years though. It is like disturbance in the air like you might see over a road when it is really hot, only that it is more "energetic" or "sparkles", in lack of better words.

Hello all,

I see also see energy or what i think is energy. I see this transparent energy that moves either real fast, slow or medium and this happens with the light off, on and in day light or darkness- Also, when i was about 10 or 11 I had frequent dreams in a row of energy flowing in the shape of a man who was trying to take me away in dreams... this transparent energy almost looks like heat rising from a car or like the predator in the movie "Predator"-- ever since I have been seeing energy like this all of the time.. not only do I see this, but i also, see lights that do not flash -that are bright blue, white, red, or orange and they look like electricity sparks ( like a blue electricity spark when you pull a plug out of the wall) and they do not float and it happens real fast and they vary from very tiny to medium size and rarely i will see them huge( once by St. Louis cemetery I saw a huge flash of white electrical light that did not flash off and on)- which many people have told me these lights I am seeing are auras---but I thought it was just another way of me perceiving energy, I also, see swirls of yellow, sometimes purple moving around very slowly in my chakra area... I do not know what it is; I told the eye doctor about it and had tests done on my eyes to make sure i did not have a disease, and I had none, besides bad eyesight. I also, thought maybe I am schizo or something ( I am a psych major)- but I seem pretty stable to others (except when pissed off hee-hee).. although I see all this weird stuff; I am a bit of a skeptic to myself even- i took a college course called human fads, fallacies, and human orgins which I found very interesting and thought because I m very creative, My mind made this stuff up....I also, work in the french quarter in N.O. and have been seeing a ghost of a man behind the bar and I do not know if it is my mind playing tricks on me b/c I see it real fast or if it is an impression of energy left by my manager who is always behind the bar.....I use to have frequent dreams of night paralysis and this unbearable energy that felt like tons of prickly needles turning your body inside out would be pressing all over my body as if something was attempting to posses me. and I would pray to god in these dreams and the sensation would disappear...and soon enough I started fighting this sensation of "unbearable" energy that I do not get it any more, only rarely and it is not nearly as unbearable it is almost as if I can control it like a sort of lucid dreaming... I am a strong believer of the perception of the mind --what ever you believe is real will be real... e.g. other employees at the bar said that they have seen "the ghost" in the slave quater (where we get ice) and the light always flickers off and eery feelings happen and etc- so maybe this is why I started seeing this "ghost" behind the bar.... I know this is a lot of "paranormal" stuff but I was excited and anxious to get some answers. Does anybody have any insight, or advice? Skeptics and nonskeptics welcome -- grim

I can only assume you're trying to describe some sort of corona phenomenon effect usually caused by staring at a certain point for prolonged periods of time, not sure the cause of this but the brain then start to piss around with the peripheral of the images.

Just doing a search for "corona phenomenon" should bring something up.

buddy get to the hospital for a scan if these nothing there you might have something special (go for a scan)

The left over evidence for the Big Bang is greatly evident. Over billions of years, stars "cook" hydrogen and helium atoms in their hot cores to make heavier elements like carbon and oxygen.

[U]The static on your television is caused by left over radiation from the Big Bang. I would find it equally feasible that what some people are seeing is the radiation left over or "static" left over from the Big Bang. This is why you are seeing it on all forms of matter and not just humans.

Just my theory..

Pretty effed up theory.
Your saying the static on everybodies bloody television is because of something that happened trillions of years ago?

No offence, sure that'd explain some radiatian gases and whatnot in space, but I thought it was pretty basic knowledge that the static on peoples televisions is because of the assorted electrical impulses being generated off of said television.

Well, if i close my eyes i can see swirling colors.
Also, I think i have someone watching over me. Last Night, I looked and saw a large figure (horns?) standing over me. Then, I could have sworn something sat lightly down at the end of my bed.

its like watery air with bits flying around inside it around the person that is oval, some colours are vaint but seeable, the most brighest are seen like bright yellow or white.

the darker the colour the closet it is to the person the lighter the colour the furhter away it is from the person. Dose this describe the aura you talk of?

You do not need to keep staring; I see it instantly everywhere I look. AND it is intense, not totally backround.
As stated earlier, I saw a large dark figure with thin horns once, and almost everyday something black zips past me in the air

Visual snow looks nothing like this

Yes, sort of. It used to be that I would need to concentrate on my hand to see my aura. Now I see the static stuff more easily, and auras come right away. It is more like a colored field. One of my old teacher's is yellow. Mine is Blue.

Like Abbby said, they are independent of the eye. They do not move with my vision, but can move by themselves it seems

The cosmic microwave background covers everything in the observable universe.

The Big Bang's Playing on TV Several members of the NASA Goddard COBE team work on WMAP. Like COBE, WMAP scans the sky over and over again, soaking up the ancient light from the Big Bang known as the cosmic microwave background. Microwaves are a low-energy form of radiation but higher in energy than radio waves. The cosmic microwave background blankets the universe and is responsible for a sizeable amount of static on your television set--well, before the days of cable. Turn your television to an "in between" channel, and part of the static you'll see is the afterglow of the big bang. WMAP's first big science announcement came in 2003, and it was a doozy. From studying the temperature variations--a millionth of a degree hotter here, a millionth of a degree cooler there--the WMAP team could deduce fundamental properties of the universe, including its age and shape, the ratio of matter to energy, the era when stars first ignited, and rate at which the universe continues to expand. Image of WMAP resultsThe universe is 13.8 billion years old; and the contents of the universe include 4.4% atoms, 22.4% of an unknown type of dark matter, and 73.2% of a mysterious dark energy.

basically what guy said was right. the static on your tv is the cosmic microwave background

Nasa Cosmic Microwave Background

sorry for off topic post

Ahahaha i just caught a guy plagiarizing someones work rofl.
look at the post above mine and look at the bold in my quote!!!

Edit he changed it *sigh* mod delete this comment i made please

I can see auras, not all the time but there is a specific technique similar to yours. I am going to post it later today.

Well, I guess auras are generated by the electricity inside all of us. When I look at an electronic object (TV especially) it may have an aura too.
