But aura-vision was virtually ignored in the 20th century until the Kirlians, a Russian husband-and-wife team, became obsessed with it in the 1950s. In 1893 Nikola Tesla, using his own powerful Tesla coil, took some, leading to a rash of experiments at the end of the 19th century in the United States, France, Czechoslovakia and Russia. ![]() The first high-voltage photograph was a contact print taken by a man named Carstone in 1842. The speediest explanation of the process is that electrons are liberated from the subject material by field emission, and accelerated across an air gap to give off bursts of light in collision with air molecules. The geography of the aura can now be tentatively mapped on photographic film. Science has now proved, a little superfluously perhaps for the ardent occultist, but proved for those who required it, that both objects and organisms emit light when seduced by the right force field, even in a darkened room. These instinctual observations were in a sense a security leak from the future. ![]() Every religious painting that shows a halo is another example of the prescientific consciousness of these emanations. The aura has been represented in prehistoric rock paintings and is clearly defined in the works of Paracelsus, Swedenborg, William Blake, Rudolf Steiner, Annie Besant and many more. All these expressions are part of the new lexicon researchers are using to describe the process of recording the aura. From the July, 1980 issue of High Times comes Heathcote Williams’ article about taking snapshots of the spirit world, followed by a sidebar on Kirlian hardware by Gary Selden.
