Here is a transcription of a talk Ra gave on “Auras” for the different types.

Now, we have all kinds of speculation about the nature of the aura. In order for us to connect with the other, in order for us to be directly conditioned-in other words, you have a gate in a channel and it’s open and somebody has a gate in the same channel at the other end, the harmonic gate-in order for that definition to come into existence your auras have to make contact.

But they make contact in different ways. And different auras have different sizes. The first thing about the size of the aura, the size of the aura is not static. It breathes. If you’re an urbanite and you have to get on the subway you’re going to pull your aura in. And when I say you are going to pull, it’s not that you consciously do that. Your aura will pull in. In other words, the aura breathes. And it’s very important not to see it as something that is static. It’s not like you’re moving in a fixed shell, like you’re inside an egg or something. You really have to understand that this is something that is breathing.

More than that, that breathing fluctuation can go from being quite large-so for example, if you stand up and you place your arms up in the air away from you, spreading your arms as far as they can so you’ve got your full wingspan, if you double the length of that distance, twice an arm length on either side going all the way around you in every direction, that’s approximately the maximum potential. Now, if you think carefully about that, what that means is that if you’re living in an apartment building and your bedroom has a common wall with a neighbor next door, they’re always sleeping with you.

I don’t want to shock any of you, but I truly want you to understand that. If you’re living in one of these modern buildings that has a very low ceiling, then you’re in contact with those that are above you, and you’re in contact with those that are below you. Your aura will go through anything. It does go through walls. If you’re living beside a street and there is a room in your house or your flat that is very close to a pedestrian walkway everybody walking by walks through your house. It’s something to keep in mind.

So the aura is more than something that’s static. The aura is something that is breathing. But that’s not what I really want to talk to you about today. I want you to understand that each type has a unique aura. Now, that’s just logical. Each type is a very specific configuration genetically. They operate very differently from each other. Their strategies are different from each other. And it’s essential to see that it also is evident in their aura. So let me describe to you the four different auras of the four types.

The Manifestor Aura
We’re going to begin with the Manifestor aura. Now, the whole thing about the Manifestor aura is that when the Manifestor aura meets another aura-when a Manifestor meets either a generator, a projector, or a reflector-their auras contract. In other words, there is something in the Manifestor aura that carries a certain repellant quality. And it’s not so much that it’s a repellant quality, there is no attraction-none. In other words, in the Manifestor aura the attractiveness of their magnetic monopole is limited. They’re not pulling as hard, in that sense, to get the other to them.

Now, the reaction of the other is a pull-back. This is why the moment that a Manifestor comes into the world its parents are going to have this “uh, oh” reaction. In other words, there is this pulling back of “we’d better be careful.” And all of that is simply because the aura of the Manifestor is not inviting. It doesn’t have this kind of pull. It’s one of the things to understand about the nature of Manifestor strategy is that the strategy is intended to overcome this. In other words, the moment that the Manifestor informs, it’s actually compensating for the fact that its aura can’t do that because the aura doesn’t pull the other in.

The Generator Aura
When we’re dealing with the vast majority of humanity-after all, manifestors are about 9 percent of the human population-the vast majority of humanity is generators. And when you’re dealing with the generator aura you’re dealing with the most open of all auras. It is the most welcoming of all auras. It is the most magnetic of all auras. The moment that a generator aura meets another generator aura, as an example, there is this immediate coming together. In other words, these auras will just move in with each other. And if they find common frequency they’re going to be able to establish a bond.

But it’s important to understand if you’re a generator why it’s so difficult for you to deal with your not-self and why your strategy of response is so important. You’re designed to respond because the outside forces are designed to touch you deeply, deeply. In other words, your gift of response is based on the fact that you don’t miss anything when you get an aura coming into you. You can grab all of that in order to respond correctly. There is no guessing. Your strategy is not a compensation for what your aura cannot accomplish. It’s why I always tell generators don’t worry, life will come to you. You don’t have to be concerned about this or that or the other, that you will never get it, that you will have to pretend you’re an initiator. Your aura is designed to welcome the outside. And in doing so, and being so open at the auric level, the ability then to be able to make correct responses according to your authority.

The Projector Aura
When we’re dealing with a projector, the projector aura is very focused. If you could actually see the projector aura at work, you would see that it sort of forms, rather than being kind of round and taking you, or round and not letting you in the way the Manifestor aura does, this is an aura that focuses down to a kind of thrusting arm that punches into the other aura. It’s quite different. It’s one of the things to understand about the nature of the projector, that the awakening for the projector is only through the understanding of the other. And that the interest of projectors is focused on the other, and they’re focused on the other specifically. Their aura is very good at penetrating one aura at a time. They are designed to be able to penetrate those auras.

After all, they’re a non-energy type. They’re going in specifically for something. How important it is for projectors to study and understand the nature of the other because that’s what they’re about. That’s what they’re here to do. And that’s what their aura is doing all the time. So many projectors run into difficulties in this life because they are rejected by others because the other feels this penetrating focused aura. And if it’s not connected with proper action with the correctness of the inner authority of the projector, this is something that is going to be resented. This is going to feel like this is something coming in to take something out rather than coming in to provide something.

The Reflector Aura
And finally, the reflector; the reflector aura for me is very interesting. It is similar to the Manifestor aura. The difference with the reflector aura is it’s like the reflector aura is covered with Teflon. The reflector always goes along the edge of other auras, it never merges. It can’t. And its strategy is not a compensation for that. After all, it is ultimately the role of the awakened reflector to be the perfect weatherman, or weatherwoman. That is, they are the ones in tune with the program, and can tell whether their environment is also in tune with the program because of the nature of their openness.

One of the things to recognize about their aura is that because that aura has this Teflon quality, what it means is that they’re here to sample auras on the surface. They’re sampling the other aura’s interaction with the neutrino field, and the neutrino ocean, and the relationship of the other to that field of consciousness.

The aura is an extraordinary thing. Each and every one of you according to your type has an aura that does the talking. Let your aura do the talking. Recognize that this is the way in which you interact with the world. And see very clearly that in order for your aura to be healthy, in order for you to be healthy; you need to honor the strategy of your type. And then your aura and you are one.
