"Anyway, don Juan asserts that emanations are both inside and outside of us. an can be interpreted. This seems as basic as Genesis; created in the image of;"
That is what the Qabala is about. The Ten "Emanations", (same word as Don Juan uses) are a pattern that can be layed over both the Microcosm, US and the Macrocosm, the Created universe. It is the same pattern, same relationships, between those elements like a wiring diagram of all that is.
"Now to go completely off topic, in reading this particular book, I perceived that what a SEER does is to read AURAS! The Luminous Egg.
This is an idea that always seemed so vague to me. Sure , I can understand Prophecy, but Auras?"
There is a book from back in the 20's or 30's written by C.W. Leadbeader and Annie Besant about the subtle bodies of mankind. It has color plates of watercolor paintings depicting these various bodies in there various states of spiritual progression and psychological turmoil, etc.
If what they depict is correct. then Don Juan's luminus egg would seem to fit with the description of the "Causal body", not the Aura.
The Theosophical Society has reprints of their many books. They are not far from me, about 90 miles. I plan to take a ride up there one of these days. It's in wheaton IL. they are online also. I don't remember the exact name of the book. Something like the bodies of man or Subtle bodies of man.
