I experience the same things as the OP. I even experience it on the individual level which is more helpful to me in avoiding dangerous situations. Its a gift from God and transcends the material aspects of reality.
Some here are attributing the OP's experience as something that is an "interpretation" - the OP never mentioned anything of the sort. He told of what was happening in a straightforward factual manner and I saw no indication that he was speaking as if his experiences had been filtered through an "interpretative" lens.
Critics - usually scientific atheists enjoy using that word "interpretation" as if to say you couldn't possibly have experienced what you said you did. Its a verbal trick often used as a putdown. These types are usually non-western in their so-called "spiritual orientation" and are subject to the confusions inherent in many Eastern philosophies and meditative techniques. I think it best to pay them no mind.
PS - I have much more to contribute on this topic - later.

Note: I'm not discounting or disagreeing with your interpretations of what you are perceiving.
The brain constructs the visual images you see from the patterns it receives. Wouldn't it be reasonable that some people can take conscious and subconscious cues and have their brain construct a visual representation of those cues? We don't actually *see* a cup... we see the representation of a cup due to the pattern signals received by the brain.
Most people tend to have a very low level ability to "feel" the mood of a room. Perhaps you are taking those same cues and visually representing them. Then when you pray... *your* perception of the situation shifts, and your representation shifts.
This would explain all the people stating they see auras around others... why there would be disagreement on what the different colors mean from person to person... etc. They are taking facial cues, body language, etc... and creating a visual representation of those cues rather than just an emotional one.
In a way... a form of synesthesia.edit on 23-9-2013 by BardingTheBard because: (no reason given)
