chapter 8: Spirit vision

Harry said, "Now, I have to learn how to Cogitate?"

Then Harry tries to remember the relevant information.

So , Harry remembers,"The initial steps of Cogitation are relatively simple. It's even more so for Beyonders".

"Just now, producing an object in my mind to divert my attention and turning the energy seepage inwards is actually the first step to Cogitation," Harry said.

'I have to try again'.

Harry closed his eyes and once again, his mind depicted the halved glass in front of his eyes.

His concentration seemed to be more easily focused than before. Soon, random thoughts that surfaced would quickly vanish, leaving the glass 's outline.

Then Harry remembered what he read. It's like knowledge actually pours into his brain.

"Let your brain go somewhat blank. Exchange the object you imagined. Use something that does not exist in this world, an object you imagine completely out of thin air."

"You have to follow this rule. Only by doing so can you enter Cogitation, only then can you exceed the concept of 'I.' The limitless 'I' will be become one with the universe, giving you the ability to see and understand the truth. You will obtain knowledge only you yourself can understand. In the domain of mysticism studies, it's called a Mystic Experience" .

"Something that doesn't exist in this world. Imagine something completely out of thin air… Would things from Earth count?"

Harry attempted using an earthy-green intercontinental missile he saw on television.

He replaced his glass with this long and thick missile.

However, regardless of how he outlined it or imagined it, he ultimately only ended up focusing his attention.

'It doesn't seem like it will work…'

Harry had no choice but to let his imagination run wild. He outlined a sphere of light and then many similar objects, gathering them together.

The spheres of light stacked upon one another. It felt like an object of fantasy.

Harry's thoughts gradually turned ethereal and afloat.

His body and mind calmed down. The objects that did not seem to exist, the fog with the bright clusters of light, and the complex colors appeared once again. They floated in the sky in close reach.

He extended his spirituality inch by inch as he looked down at them quietly. He sensed it and took it in.

"It looks like I am successful," Harry thought.

After that Harry said,"let try the first ability came with being Seer".

"Spirit Vision!"

He told Dobby,"close the window and open the door".

It made the spot where Harry was dark, but not to the point of failing to make out silhouettes of objects.

Harry raises his hands and places them in front of his eyes and keeps looking at his hands until his eyes are accustomed to the darkness.

He saw the silhouettes of his fingers and the surrounding objects.

Then focus his gaze on a spot behind his hands. Then, slowly move his fingers and maintain the same pose without touching them.

Harry cast his gaze at an empty spot behind his palms. He then slowly moved his index fingers within his vision.

Once, twice, thrice… Suddenly, Harry saw a fiery-red colour in between his fingers.

"Eh…" He let out a sound.

Harry knows that "it's the initial step to Spirit Vision. The colour he see is his aura"

Harry does it a few more times.

After stabilising it, he looked elsewhere.

" Alright." Harry moved his fingers back and forth while having his vision trained on the fiery-red.

Harry knows that there are different meanings of the different colours.

To put it simply, the mainstream way of mysticism is to split non-physical parts of a human into four levels. At its core is the Spirit Body, which is also everyone's basic spirituality.

There is a school of thought that believes all biological creatures have spirituality and have a Spirit Body.

The goal of Cogitation and the method to increase our strength is directed toward the Spirit Body.

Outside the Spirit Body is the Astral Projection. It is the means for the Spirit Body to communicate with the spirit world and with stellar space. It's considered an external manifestation of the Spirit Body.

Besides, it will be directly related to personal ambition and prevailing emotions…

The scenes Harry sees after consuming the potion are scenes Harry's Astral Projection sees when it wanders through the spirit world.

That world does not obey the laws of the physical world. It involves exceeding the concept of 'I,' the limitless 'I', and the Universe's 'I.' The past, present, and future might be stacked upon one another and that is the source of divination.

In the spirit world, what someone sees is just an imagery, a symbol. It has to be interpreted to understand its actual meaning.

"Divination and many magic spells are cast through the Astral Projection.

One is just a body and the other is for form… Harry continued looking at the aura in between his fingertips and made the simple conclusion.

"Further out will be the Body of Heart and Mind. From this point forth, it will combine with the physical body… It involves the brain and it is an overall manifestation of inferential abilities, your analytical abilities, your observational abilities, and identification abilities.

The outermost layer is the Ether Body. It is a manifestation of your vital energies and physical form.

"The aura colour is an external phenomenon of the Ether Body. In other words, apart from the spiritual bodies, ghosts, and spectres ,can be seen directly with Spirit Vision, it might also include certain existences that should not be seen.

Harry said,"I can also see the Ether Bodies of others or their auras. From their thickness, brightness, and colour, Ican determine their health and emotional state".

"When my Spirit Vision improves and I can discover even more details. I can even determine the lifespan of others".
