Paranormal Experieces? "Woo", etc... [View all]

I put Woo in quotes bc some people (here and elsewhere) think it's all imaginary, ?hallucinatory, etc, etc. I believe some of this is real, possible, etc.

Not sure what brought this experience back to me.
I'm texting it out, plus an illustration w hand witten text that may not be totally readable to some - my art app does not have any font (type/text); selection.

So back in the ?80's I went to a lecture by a shaman. The one thing I remember was an exercise, per se. He stood against a door. He was white, had on a white, or very light colored outfit. The door was dark wood. We were asked to look at him for a minute or so, and then close our eyes.

We've all had some experiences were what we see w our eyes open becomes reversed with our eyes closed. It's called an afterimage. It can be B&W. White turns black, black turns white.

It can also be color. Example- our elevator buttons are orangesh when pushed if I blink right after I get a quick greenish image. Green is usually opposite of red, while blue tends to be opposite orange. So idk why my eyes do that- but it's close enough opposite on the color wheel. Maybe I need to pay closer attention.

We closed our eyes. He became a black silhouette against a white door.
Ok, typical. ✅️

Then, he said he was going to "pump up his aura"; and we were to keep looking at him. Well, no difference looking at him. Ok.

But then, he asked us to "close our eyes". And we did.

To my/our surprise, the aura appeared as an afterimage!
How so? (the illustration shows it)

His silhouette appears white, when it should have appeared black. The door appears white which is expected, but....

Surrounding him was a solid black ? 10" inch outline that became fuzzy and faded out at it's outer edges. The aura was brighter than his white outfit; which I'm thinking rendered it black bc of it's contrast!
Woah. Totally unexpected!
Now, maybe, there were some there who could see his aura with eyes open - but they rest of us couldn't.

I don't think it was fake as say we don't see ultraviolet, or infrared. And how would he have had an invisible light around him.
I think it was/is real. Do we need better studies into "energies" sciences. Maybe.
I just know a bunch of experienced this.

I'd like to hear your experiences. Tia! 🙂👍

Ok I'm posting this first bc I don't want to lose all this typing! Bbs.
