Well said, Taha. As a teacher myself, my goal is to support my students' abilities to identify in what way they perceive and then to develop their perceptive abilities, find for themselves what the feel of vibration or the appearance of color or what-have-you means in terms of their own perceptions. It's much better for one to learn how to develop one's own abilities than to try to simply emulate those of another.
You said, "Orbs are interesting, but I don't know why some people see them while others see beings of light. Perhaps the orbs of light are their perception of beings, or perhaps they're something quite different which I'm not capable of seeing. I have no idea, and am happy to have no idea too, as it tells me that I'm unlikely to grasp onto some definition another person wants me to uphold as consensus reality."
That's sort of the point I was trying to make (but didn't quite get there): I don't think there is only one way to define orbs in general; people with very open perceptive abilities encounter orbs without having any consensus regarding what they are, and I think that's because there are many types of orbs just as there are many other types of living and energetic beings. They might have a similar appearance but be very different in their basic makeup, one orb to the next. I have seen orbs, I have seen 'beings of light', and I've seen other types of entities as well. To mangle Shakespeare: There are more things in the infinite multiverse than are dreamt of from a human perspective. hee
