The Human Atmosphere

The book explores the concept of the human aura a supposed field of energy that surrounds living beings and is believed to be visible to some individuals with special abilities. Kilner was a British physician who became interested in the idea of the aura after studying the works of the French occultist Baron Charles von Reichenbach. Kilner claimed to have developed a method of seeing the aura using specially treated screens and filters that allowed him to observe the energy fields around living beings. In The Human Atmosphere Kilner provides a detailed account of his methods and the results of his research including descriptions of the different layers of the aura and the colors and patterns that are commonly observed. He also argues that the aura can provide important information about a persons physical mental and emotional health and that it can be used to diagnose and treat illness. While Kilners claims about the aura and its medical uses were controversial and were not widely accepted by the scientific community The Human Atmosphere remains an important work in the history of paranormal and occult research. It provides a fascinating insight into the beliefs and practices of the early 20th-century occult movement and continues to be read and studied by those interested in the concept of the aura and other forms of spiritual energy.
