How Do You See? Options

I was curious as to how members here see things such as auras and other things that the normal person does not see. Like me i noticed that i see sylphs really easy when i asked few of my family and friends they said they had no clue they had never seen anything like that. I also can see auras somewhat ok every now and then when im just spaced out i admit im not the best at seeing them as i have not practiced that much. So how do you see? I have always found it intriguing to here how others view the world. I also have something with my eyes have had it my whole life i have very good vision but at any time at will i can make everything blurry but not like i cannot see it's almost like it disperses light. and makes everything closer but like even a little red dot looks like a fire work of light. No one else i have ever talked to can do this. Not sure exactly what it even is i sometimes do it whenever i get nerveous seems to calm me down. But nevertheless getting of topic so how do others here see the world around you?

I think I would side mostly with the posters above that often I don't see auras rather I know, through the use of feeling and intuition. In a way I prefer this method instead of viewing the aura because I can learn more quickly the way that person might affect me. However, I think teaching oneself the second sight is definitely a skill worth acquiring. The only time I actually train or make a concerted effort in seeing auras is when I astrally project. As for seeing sylphs and other natural energies I've never a huge amount of success but the technique I've been employing lately, which I have confidence in is pretty simple. I sit down, preferably outdoors, relax and just let my eyes gaze unfocused. I've found that the more my eyes want to grasp something the quicker that energy signature or pattern fades from sight. Also Lujan Matos has an excellent book on gazing technique, awakening the third eye, it has good stuff.

Also in regards to language, one thing that I've come to appreciate, which was pointed out by Draja Mickaharic in one of his books is that the english language is almost entirely void of words that have mystical connotations. Of the words that do exist a great number of them were basically heisted from other languages. For instance in english, we have a word like spirit, however just think about how many synonyms of spirit with deeper, spiritual context there would be say in the Indian culture.
