I am a follower of Telekinesis path for past 5 years and would like to share my findings about seeing the aura around people and objects and how to confirm whether this is a real aura or an illusion.
During the psi-wheel practice, I used to see the aura around the paper wheel most of the time but seeing it never helped me change my mind-over-matter effect on that. It was just a colorful ghost surrounding the wheel and looking at the shape and corners, it was pretty much following the angles and shapes of the wheel which I used to practice on. For times, I believed this must be the aura I was seeing but then an interesting accident revealed that what I was seeing was nothing but an illusion made by eyes. To show it to you, all you need is a few A4 white paper and a box of crayola, put the paper down right on a table in front of you and draw a big blue circle in the center of the paper, make sure you color the inside of a circle, then do the regular focus practice on that, after focusing about 1-2 minutes try to look around the circle, you'll see a colorful (yellow) aura-like circle around it! Now change the paper and this time draw a pink circle, this time the aura would be green!
The explanation is simple, when you stare at some object or some scene with bright white background and high contrast, like sunset, people in snow, or similar, the shape will actually leave a shadow over your eyes retina which fades out usually in a few minutes. You commonly see that shadow when you look at the Sun or any bright light directly but if you remember, the shadow is black! So white makes black shadows, blue makes yellow and pink makes green! This is called the complementary color.
So if you stare at a person with blue jeans standing in the snow for a few minutes and see a yellow aura around him, it's not aura!
The real aura has not so many colors and could only be red or blue independent of the color of the object. Also in the fake aura you have to look around the object to see the aura but in real aura your eyes are still locked on the point of focus but still you can see it waving around the object. If the aura has some weird colors and can only be seen when wobbling your eyes around the focal point, it's the fake one.
