Kirlian photography
(religion, spiritualism, and occult)Kirlian photography was developed by Semyon and Valentina Kirlian, a Russian husband and wife who used high frequency electrical currents to make visible the colored auras around all living things.
About fifty years ago, Semyon Kirlian, an electrical engineer, saw a demonstration of a high frequency electro-therapy machine at a southern Russian research institute. He noticed tiny flashes of light between the machine’s electrodes and the patient’s skin and wondered what would happen if he placed a photographic plate there. He experimented using himself as a guinea pig. From a crude and painful first experiment, he and his wife progressed to a technique that gave astonishing results. The object to be photographed is placed on sensitive photographic paper which then goes underneath a specially constructed, high frequency, spark generator. This produces 75,000 to 200,000 oscillations per second. When the generator is switched on, the radiation from the object is transferred to the paper.
The Kirlians referred to the aura as a “bioplas-mic body.” Early photographs of this type have shown that in plants, the onset of a disease can be seen before the disease is actually visible by normal means. In one experiment, a leaf was photographed and produced a good Kirlian image. Then part of the leaf was cut away and it was photographed a second time. In this second picture, there was again an image of the complete leaf. This gave rise to the conjecture that the “bioplasma” of a living thing remains even after the physical body has gone. This may be the scientific proof of the existence of spirit after death, as believed in by Spiritualists and others for many years.
Changes in the human aura can be indicators of problems to come, as has been discovered at the Kazakh State University in Alma-Ata, Russia. Kirlian photography has shown that there are emissions from the hands and fingers of a healer, and that they are of exceptional length and intensity at the time of doing a healing. Kirlian photography has also revealed that there are correspondences, in the color and intensity of light, between the points of the body where an acupuncturist sticks the needles.
