Edgar Cayce on Auras & Colors. Kevin J. Todeschi

usually pointed to their foreheads. Many of the subjects reported an increase in mobility because they began to “just know” where objects were in a room.

      One man reported that he could walk down the street without a cane because he could “see” the plate glass windows, lamp posts, and more. Another woman stated that she was able to pick out her clothes from her closet because she could “tell the difference” in colors by running her hands over the clothing at a distance of several inches. Another woman described her new abilities, as follows: “An awareness of my own energy field is developing and I feel as though I really see myself: I see my hands working, I see my body, I see images and shadows, and seem to be able to almost see what is in a room. It seems that I really see it, although I can’t, as I am totally blind. Last Sunday I saw my first aura. A friend was talking with me when suddenly I saw her aura and was so surprised that I did not hear what she was saying. She noticed that I was not listening and said that my eyes got larger and larger until she knew that something was going on. I interrupted her and said, ‘I can see your aura.’ It was a white light, hazy and flickering, which encircled her head.”

      In an interesting incident, one of the blind participants was scanning the aura of her volunteer and was commenting about heat, coolness, and other descriptions as she scanned. When she progressed to the feet and passed her hand over one part of the left foot, she reported, “Oh, it feels very cool here.” Much to the blind woman’s shock, her volunteer replied, “Yes! That’s right. I had a toe removed several years ago!” A similar experience was noted in a sixty-two-year-old blind student who became astonished when she scanned the aura of her volunteer and noticed how cold it felt in the torso area. The volunteer told her that she had undergone a hysterectomy!

      Carol Ann Liaros had her own experience with the blind participants that she describes, as follows:

      All of the lights were off in the room where the group met. I was standing up against a white wall for an exercise in which I was encouraging the blind participants to practice “seeing” my aura. (Many were having experiences of seeing through their foreheads.) Several comments were made by participants about the colors when suddenly many in the group declared that they saw red in my aura way up high to my left. I couldn’t understand why so many of them were seeing red. I certainly wasn’t feeling angry or mad, and red is often the color of anger in the aura.

      Later, the lights were turned on and we were on our break. I happened to look up at the wall where so many of them had indicated that they could see red in my aura, and I laughed. There was an EXIT sign there. It was not an illuminated sign, but painted red on the wall, and I had not seen it when the lights were out!

      From a research point of view, perhaps the next results were the most amazing. After the seven-week period of training, participants again took the one hundred color selection trials; and this time their scores measured far beyond the laws of chance:

       Participant scores after 20 hours of Project Blind Awareness training⁵:

      In the period of more than forty years that Carol Ann Liaros has been leading intuition training exercises, many very interesting experiences have occurred with participants (both sighted and blind). Stories like these suggest that color and vibration are somehow quantifiable for those who have firsthand experience and knowledge with intuitive perception:

      • Bobby was a nine-year-old blind child with no light perception. His lack of sight had been discovered a couple of months after his birth. A participant in the Junior Project Blind Awareness program, one of the exercises geared for children was to have them lie on large colored sheets (squares, approximately three feet long on each side) and “feel” the vibration of the color. The sheets contained colors from the following colors: red, yellow, green, blue, white, and black.

      • Each child was encouraged to lie down on a colored sheet and to stretch out his or her entire body, enabling the body to feel the color’s vibration. They were encouraged to feel the color with their hands, elbows, nose, bottom of feet, and so forth, and then describe the color to their volunteer. (All of the volunteers in the youth program were school teachers.) The children were told that with practice they should be able to recognize the various colors by the physical sensation they were experiencing. Bobby was doing fine with the colors until he lay down on the color black. As soon as he was on the ground, he immediately jumped to his feet and said, “I don’t like that color! It reminds me of my father’s funeral.”

      • Sam was a blind adult whose eyes had been removed because of cancer. After taking some ESP classes and working with his intuition, he described the ability to see auras through the middle of his forehead. One of the talents he demonstrated was identifying dark spots in different people’s auras that accurately corresponded to areas of physical problems. During one of the classes, a young, sighted woman asked Sam to look at her aura and describe what he saw. He briefly described her aura and then hesitated, as though he was uncomfortable and ill-at-ease. When he was pressed to share what he was seeing, Sam replied, “I see two auras! Is she pregnant?” Interestingly enough, the young woman had just found out that she was about four weeks pregnant. When he was asked to specify whether the child was a boy or a girl, Sam leaned forward as if he was trying to see better and stated assuredly, “It’s a boy.” Several months later the woman delivered a beautiful baby boy.

      • During one of the basic ESP classes that included experiencing the human aura, participants had taken turns having their auras described by the rest of the class. After the class had looked at the auras of four or five individuals, one of the students who was in his mid-twenties walked forward and stood up against the white wall. No one was able to see the man’s aura. Even Carol Ann was unable to see his aura. Carol Ann passed it off as: “everyone’s eyes are tired.” She was baffled as it was an experience she had not previously encountered. The reason for the group’s experience became clear when class started the following week. One of the students brought in a newspaper article about a young mailman that had been killed while delivering mail in the rural countryside in his small mail truck. The truck had somehow hit a cow, rolled over, and the mailman had died in the accident. The mailman had been the student in the class whose aura could not be seen! This experience is certainly reminiscent of something Edgar Cayce had to say about the human aura:

      Where do the colors come from, and what makes them shift and change? Well, color seems to be a characteristic of the vibration of matter, and our souls seem to reflect it in this three-dimensional world through atomic patterns. We are patterns, and we project colors, which are there to those who can see them. Apparently the aura reflects the vibrations of the soul. When a person is marked for death the soul begins to withdraw and the aura naturally fades. (Authors’ emphasis; See Auras booklet, Appendix I)

      On one occasion a twenty-nine-year-old businessman asked Edgar Cayce to describe the vibrations that emanated from the human aura. Cayce’s answer once again connected the aura with the effect of the vibration of an individual’s spiritual attunement and life experience. When the man asked specifically whether the vibrations of an aura were measurable in terms of frequency and wavelength (such as a light wave), Cayce responded: “May be compared to same, but of the spiritual radiation {emanation
