Ethics?

[JBRaven]

(this has to do with a post I read on another thread and I wanted to read more but it was off topic.)

Is it right to read some ones aura with out permission? Is it ok to read tarot or runes about someone without consent? Most people will say not to cast a spell on anyone because of Free Will, but what about these forms that don't effect you magically but done without asking? Is it about manners or ethics?

Personally I think it is more of a manners question but violates no morale code. It is your gift to read others use it as you see fit.

As I said, you type...you post pictures you have just giving my ability free range to do what it does. It is involuntary for me to do such a thing as to read auras...I could read their minds instead but I choose not to because it is not my place to go into another person's mind even with their permission, plus...it is scary...and most people have extremely messy minds. If you do not want me to read you, I would suggest not to post something I will read...and I read the whole forum.

Well, I can't read minds or really do anything magical (although I have the strange ability to have injuries that were not caused by anything) but I have learned to read character by looks, what people say, ect. I also have a great aptitude for hearing things not meant for my ears. However, I don't do these things because I think that I have no right poking my nose in any other people's business.

You can do it to me, if you feel it will make what I can do even...it is fine with me. I can also teach people to go into their own minds to protect their minds from those who would invade it.

That is not an answer to the question.

An no, it is not right.

I believe it is right, you want to post..you just gave an aura reader free range...you post a picture you gave them free range...What is wrong is sitting here yelling at us for our gifts because you or someone else decided to post something and you got your aura read by some aura reader. My gift is involuntary, I can't just turn it on or off whenever I please, but if you don't want someone to read your aura. Learn to shield your true one with a fake one or don't post I say...I mean you can shield your aura like you shield your IP address.

[JBRaven]

maybe you should't go around saying you have read someones aura. It does feel a little like a violation, but your advice on putting a fake aura up is absurd. Why would I want to trick people into believing I am something I am not?

[Airlight]

Why not? And I don't mean something you aren't. I mean making it black, completely black hiding what is behind it so people can't read you. That is what mine looks like or purple, which is my favorite color. People should of realized I read something about them when I said "You are coming across..." or "I sense...." but maybe I shouldn't, but I also seem to also drawn in what they are being like and spit it out back at them. I can't help it, I've been training so long it has actually become involuntary for me.

[JBRaven]

I guess since i don't read auras (never had the use for it, people normally foolishly give me thier full trust as soon as they meet me.) I don't understand. I do use falsehoods like when I work with children when I do my casa work I project a teddy bear and the children seem to be comforted by me.

[Airlight]

Then you have a gentle/friendly type aura, which you do happen to give off a lot (even if your icon is one of the craziest comics besides Human Target, Spawn, Kick Ass, and a few others...), see you understand hiding an aura, what older people find gentle and friendly a child probably will not and most, if not all, children are psychic one way or another.

Is there a way to use "aura reading" in a sacred manner?

SEEING requires a high degree of integrity. The first rule is Keep Your Mouth Shut unless you are asked or there is a life threatening situation. There are times when it is necessary to say nothing and join the ranks of the many invisible helpers consistently working blessings for all.

Frankly, I consider it a mark of immaturity to speak about ones Gifts, Medicines, and Sacred Light outside of Sacred Space. And for the purposes of this forum I will suggest that Sacred Space is a space of communicating from love.

Although we may see we do not say all we see unless we can offer what we see in a way that is empowering to others.

Our Gifts are on loan to us and are meant to be shared, honored, and protected.

If someone comes off as an a-hole, I have no fear to tell them. If someone comes off a little rude, I will tell them. To sit back and hide in fear because someone might be a little hurt or find it rude I can sense them I believe is absolutely stupid.

I speak of my gifts because they are special to me and I have no fear for people to know what I can do. To hide is to show fear has a grip on you. Why should I keep my mouth shut? Who has the right to tell me to shut up when I sense something I do not like? It is not your right to tell me what I can and can't speak about. You want to live in fear and stepping on glass, that is a problem I can't help you to fix.

We should not live in a world of fear and having to stay quiet to protect someone from something...but hey, who cares what I have to say really.

I know for a fact I'm an asshole. lol Please understand my suggestion comes from a code of healing that states that we do not reveal all we see and know because there is a proper timing to these things. For instance, I get a hit that someone has an illness or they are not from this planet it is not wise for me to share this information until the proper time and the proper place. My philosophy.

Airlight, I do not suggest that you stop speaking your mind or your heart. I am simply asking a question which is how can our Gifts be used in a way that empowers and heals others? How do we use our Gifts in integrity with our Core purpose?

As to whether you sense whatever you sense or see whatever you see I don't really care to be honest mainly because its second nature for me too so why judge a thing that is clearly natural.

I think this is an important topic because all of us will be getting upgrades and then comes the question what structure of integrity, what ethics, do we have to honor the purpose of the upgrade and That From Which the Upgrade Comes.

[Airlight]

If you get that hit, I would love to know..but hey...I was speaking to shadowx and I sensed a deep-seated anger and I told her it wasn't good for her to be that way.

I try to use my gifts in a good way but sometimes I come off as a bitch because I pick up on someone else being a bitch and I spit it out back at them. I do admit I can be a bitch sometimes...but most of the time I sense it from someone else. It is my way of saying "See you treated someone that way but don't like it when someone treats you in the same manner" type deal.

Never called you an asshole by the way, just saying in general. I sense it, I spit it back at the person. I'm just a person who can't...shut up I guess. I've learned that being quiet gets nothing done and doesn't help people. They could spiral down the path they are going.

For some reason people think I am being friendly as I set thier house on fire. I think the reading of auras is way off base when it comes to me. But I do agree with the idea that maybe somethings are best left unsaid. Telling some one they are an a*hole is one thing but telling them you looked into thier soul and found out they are an a*hole is another. It is just a line that is crossed and becomes a severe violation/.
