twinkles like this? (any old 'scuse to put up an image, right?)

I donno bets, never saw this before, what u saw. I can see facial features, forms, body height and approx. weight of others out there in obes, but I have never seen them twinkle, although a smile comes close to twinkle..
  there could very well be a relationship to their chakra development if you see color in a specific part of the body though.

once a guide pointed out a fushia pink color between the 3rd and 4rth chakras on my obe body. but thats the only time i saw the colors.

arent you an artist Bets? I thought you said you painted. painting should allow you to see colors out there.
once in awhile someone will come here and tell us they see wonderful colors. I feel spirit will take me there sometime, all of us, to view the panoramic scenes. it must be a thousand times more magnifient than the photos we produce.
in the last 6 years spirit has been working with me of the spirit/astral body movement itself. so that my awareness when obe or phasing is an awareness focused on the way I'm moving, whether gliding, flying, floating, treading, staying still. seems like a new type of awareness to be aware of movement details.
the chakras associated with the left and right ear are different chakras, seemed strange but thats how their listed. I can hear out there pretty good but not for great lengths of time and the words run together like speed reading here.
so I can hear, sense movement and see soft gray images and facial detail, form, but not in color. Spirit is having me concentrate on colors of thought forms now, so I'm excited to go to class.

my fondest wish is go hear the choirs I used to be a part of in another time, they sing with one voice and you melt into them. I know they are still there.
the one time many years ago I asked to be a listener, my guides produced two backwoods folk singers with a twang in their voices doing a duet. I never got over the disappointment!   but I had to laugh how they tease me.

what would u say is your development that stands out? hearing or sight, or light body sensing, or movement? you can also have a tactile sense of touching out there, touching something solid. had that a few times. and smelling with the non/phyiscal nose, what a trip! that mostly occurs in C1 I believe. at least for me. never ate anything out there, hee, too busy moving to stop for dinner. these senses are all related to the 5 senses, but extend outward with awareness fibers to increase their breadth.

the 6th sense. some kind of nonphsical intuition? thanks for your response. love, alysia
