    To all: I don't jump in often, but couldn't help it on this one.  I
    have a background in science and was suprised when I suddenly began
    seeing auras a few years ago.  I also have picked up a few crystals
    and with some I do feel an energy like mild static electricity.  In
    researching questions related to the verifiability of such energy I
    ran across two things of interest. One is Kirlian photography which
    is able to record at least one type of human energy field.  There are
    several Internet sources available.  The other is work being done by
    Gary Schwarz, Ph.D. at the University of Arizona.  Dr. Swarz founded
    the Human Energy Systems Laboratory and after an internationally
    renowned career as a psychology researcher, turned to evaluating
    paranormal studies.  One study I found striking.  Schwarz began by
    measuring background levels of gamma radiation.  He then observed
    that human beings naturally transform gamma radiation into high
    frequency x-ray radiation.  After determining these levels, he
    observed that when a subject intentionally attempted to direct mental
    energy toward another person, the subject's level of  high end x-rays
    increased measurably. 

    I am reminded of Kuhn's book, The Structure of Scientific
    Revolution.  Kuhn says that scientists accept a new paradigm when
    they are able to detect and measure phenomena they could not
    previously measure.  He cites the telescope as the example for the
    paradigm shift in astronomy from earth centered to sun centered
    astronomy. 

    We may be near such a paradign shift with unseen energy that some
    claim to be able to detect. 

Cheers!
Mike
