The Human Atmosphere by Walter J. Kilner is a book that explores the concept of the human aura, or the energy field that surrounds every living being. The author, a British physician and scientist, conducted extensive research on the subject and presents his findings in this book. Kilner describes the aura as a subtle, luminous energy that emanates from the body and can be seen by certain individuals with the aid of special filters. He explains the different layers of the aura and their corresponding colors, as well as the significance of each color. The book also delves into the practical applications of understanding the aura, such as in the diagnosis and treatment of illness, and in the development of psychic abilities. The Human Atmosphere is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and spirituality, and in the exploration of the unseen dimensions of human existence.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the Author:
"Walter Kilner, M.D., a doctor at St. Thomas Hospital in London was one of the first recorded individuals to scientifically study the aura. Through a series of objective and subjective experiments, Kilner was able to invent a crude detection device, which he stated, could observe auric activity.
By separating two pieces of glass, cementing them around the edges except for one small opening, pouring a bluish dye called dicyanin (coal-tar dye from Germany) into the hollow glass and sealing the glass, Kilner invented an apparatus that was sensitive to the ultraviolet energy spectrum. Dr. Kilner could then observe, by peering through the lens, vaporous energy (auras) extending from living bodies.
It seems, according to Kilner, that the longer one looks through the blue colored lens, the more sensitive the eyes become to ultraviolet and higher light spectrums. It is in this range that Kilner believed auras occur. In his book, entitled The Human Atmosphere (1911), Dr. Kilner presents 'scientific evidence' for the existence of the aura. According to Kilner's research, he and his associates were able, on many occasions, to perceive auric formations extending several inches from patients' naked bodies. Within the pages of Kilner's work, he also describes a series of experiments that the reader may try. The only drawbacks to Kilner's method are the extreme difficulty in obtaining the blue dye and the potential for serious injury to skin or eyes if the apparatus was to leak (i.e., blindness and burning)."
