              Time of Reading
              3:30 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.      New York City.

           1. GC:  Body and enquiring mind, also his observations of the
              work of Dr. Paul Cold of 225 E. 69th St., N.Y.C.  You will
              answer the questions which he submits regarding his own
              health and work.

           2. EC:  Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [440].  Ready
              for questions.
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .

          25. (Q)  Do the aurascopic pictures which I hold in my hand
              represent actual conditions on the dates given?
              (A)  Not as we find.  If viewed from the actual emanations
              through the auras of the body itself (not aura, but auras),
              they would be quite different!

              To gain the proper aura from a mechanical manner, prepare
              an aurascope like this:

              Make prisms, or combined prisms - see?  Jena [Encyclopedia
              Britannica cc 1957:  JENA, a university town of Germany...
              seat of the famous Zeiss firm of optical instrument makers]
              glass for the white one, lapis for the blue one, the blood
              ruby for the red one, the yellow lapis for the yellow one.
              Combine these on a spindle, so that each may be turned
              through an opening that is directed towards a body.  With
              the second turn there will come into vision, for anyone of
              any psychic ability, the direct aura - physical AND spiritual
              - for anyone at whom it is pointed.

              In making the diagnosis, it would require the nude body;
              and those portions of the body affected will show the various
              tints or forms of depressions, ranging from all colors that
              are negative in their action to life - which are leaden and
              various shades of purple, and the orange that turns towards
              red.  These prisms would be set.  They would be of these
              dimensions:  From a quarter (1/4 inch on the thin edge to
              a three-quarter (3/4) on the heavy edge.  An inch (1") wide
              and two inches (2) long.  Necessarily two sets would be
              prepared, so that there may be the vision from both eyes -
              for in few people is vision exactly the same in both eyes;
              but these would be so set that they would be turned on an
              axis, an inch to two inches (1" to 2") apart, see?  so they
              would turn around, see?

          26. (Q)  Would the axis be through the center?
              (A)  The axis would be that the prisms would be set in
              a holder on the axis.  Of course, do not attempt to bore
              through the prisms themselves - but these are set in holders,
              see, in something like the leaves of a willowing fan.

          27. (Q)  What is the distance from the eyes to the prisms?
              (A)  Nine inches (9").

          28. (Q)  Are any other lenses necessary?
              (A)  Naturally the plain glass in the end of the scope, and
              turned - you see - or set on axis so that the vision comes
              as one; as when looking through the scope that makes for the
              projection of flat object as to give them the perspective
              value to the whole, see?  [See 440-6.]
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .

          33. We are through for the present.

              TEXT OF READING 440-6 M 23 (Elec. Engr., Student, Christian)

              This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on
              Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 20th day of
              December, 1933, in accordance with request made by self -
              Mr. [440], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research &
              Enlightenment, Inc.

              P R E S E N T

              Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.
              Mr. [440], Mildred Davis, L. B. and Hugh Lynn Cayce.

              R E A D I N G

              Time of Reading
              5:10 to 5:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.      New York City.

              (Body and enquiring mind, together with information already
              given him on Aurascope, [See 440-3, Par. 25-A--28-A]
              improvements on Etheronic machine of Dr. Paul Cold and
              information received through [Mr. [317]'s writing] on static
              eliminator - drawings and data are being held by [440].  You
              will answer the questions which he will ask regarding the
              theory and construction of each of these machines.)

           1. EC:  Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [440], and
              the information that has been given respecting each of these.

           2. (Q)  First, the Aurascope - diagram in [440]'s hand.
              (A)  As suggested, the theory of the mechanical device is to
              determine not only the aura of individuals but to use same in
              the diagnoses of disorders in various portions of the body.

              As is known, the body in action - or a live body - emanates
              from same the vibrations to which it as a body is vibrating,
              both physical and spiritual.  Just as there is an aura when a
              string of a musical instrument is vibrated - the tone is
              produced by the vibration.  In the body the tone is given off
              rather in the higher vibration, or the color.  Hence this is
              a condition that exists with each physical body.  In the
              material things we find that to tone, or to find a tone or
              the color to the eye, only three colors are necessary to
              make, for the perfecting of the various shades or tones that
              may be had in ANY vibration.  In any print in nature itself
              we find these are existent.  Hence these set with the absence
              of color, or with the crystal, in their rotation so that they
              are turned (by the hand, preferably), being on the same
              spindle or same manner so that when one turns the other turns
              also.  With these changings of the color there soon sets
              those vibrations by the beholder, in its active force of
              beholding or discerning the variations, so that there is set
              in a practical manner the aura ABOUT the body.  To be sure,
              as indicated, it will necessitate the developing of the
              psychic forces.  Not that it is not positive, but these may
              be discerned the more readily by an optometrist - or one that
              looks for the visions, or one that gets tone or color as an
              artiste, or one that mixes colors.  These may the more easily
              or more readily find or get the response from such a
              mechanical instrument for determining the emanations in
              colors from a living organism.

           3. Ready for questions.

           4. (Q)  Are sides of crystal cut perpendicular to XX axis or
              perpendicular to a face of crystal?
              (A)  To a face of crystal, though the diagram as seen here is
              not drawn properly at all, see?  You have turned the face so
              that this would necessitate extra mechanical - and you do not
              get the value of the flat surface of the crystal or the
              active force of the colors that are emanated through the eyes
              in this position!  Rather would they be turned crosswise, so
              that the longer side or portion is as the slit in the eye -
              or as the vision perceives same, see?

           5. (Q)  Does the eye see first through the side at right angle?
              (A)  Eye sees through the side, as the PRISM angle, see?

           6. (Q)  I do not see.
              (A)  Through the PRISM angle; that is, either the heavy side
              or the thin side is encased in a holder that brings into
              view, see, the full side of the prism glass.  See?

           7. (Q)  The body does not understand.
              (A)  We have the glass, the prism, see?  It is set in a
              holder, in the rotation or in the manner that has been
              designated, see?  the width, see, the length, see?  This set
              then in the holder, in the way as a willowing fan - as given,
              see?  This, then, on an axis, see - the leaves, you see.
              These turn as leaves to those portions where the vision or
              the scope itself of the vision strikes the SIDE - as the
              angle side, see, or prism side of the color.

           8. (Q)  Do these prisms rotate toward the eye?
              (A)  Toward the eye.

           9. (Q)  What is the rate of speed?
              (A)  This will depend upon the individual, as given.  See,
              there will be periods, as the rotation is carried on, when NO
              vision of the color is seen, see?  So that the alternate
              changes of the various colors, as given, makes for the
              impressions to the optics that reflect back that seen through
              the vision as set before same.

          10. (Q)  Is the crystal fixed permanently in its fan-shaped
              holder?
              (A)  Fixed permanently, just so that when it comes to that
              portion of the scope or in the vision it stands at the angle
              as indicated.

          11. (Q)  What angle should the X Sub-C axis take with the X Sub-S
              axis?
              (A)  As indicated, these would be preferably set by
              experimentation; for it will be found that minor changes may
              be necessary, but these are set so that the surface (flat,
              see) is direct in line for the vision in its observation of
              the person, individual or body in front of same.

          12. (Q)  Can you give a substitute for the red blood ruby?
              (A)  This is the COLOR!

          13. (Q)  It can be made of glass?
              (A)  It can be made of glass.  ALL should be glass, so that
              the same character of vision - or altered by the color - is
              met by the vision of the beholder.

          14. (Q)  Would this instrument enable photography of the aura?
              (A)  Enable photography with colored photography, but it
              would have to be attached to both characters of machines,
              see?

          15. (Q)  Will you give a description of the arrangement of the
              lenses in the end of the scope?
              (A)  These are only glass, and so set or so arranged that
              they will meet the needs of the beholder, see?  So that they
              focus as ONE vision and not as looking with just one eye;
              for, as indicated, each individual's two eyes are not EXACTLY
              set the same.  Some have astignatism, some have MORE
              astignatism than others, some have the retinae in its rotary
              astignatism and others have no change necessary.  Hence these
              in the end will necessarily have to be set so they may be
              altered somewhat, but will only require very little change -
              but set at the angle so that the focus makes for the vision
              seen as single and not double.

          16. (Q)  What is the shape of these lenses?
              (A)  Well, you would make them rather oblong - to fit rather
              the scope or the character of the scope that is set for the
              vision, see?

          17. (Q)  Can you give the correct division between the Y axis as
              shown on Figure 3?
              (A)  As set, the figures here are all wrong!  But the
              distance from the axis or from the vision through the color
              glass (or clear, depending upon how far it is turned, see) to
              the plain glass would be six to nine inches.
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .

          56. We are through for the present.

              TEXT OF READING 440-7 M 23 (Elec. Eng. Student, Christian)

              This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home
              on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 21st day
              of December, 1933, in accordance with request made by self
              - Mr. [440], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research &
              Enlightenment, Inc.

              P R E S E N T

              Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.
              Mr. [440], Mildred Davis, L. B. and Hugh Lynn Cayce.

              R E A D I N G

              Time of Reading
              11:20 to 12:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time.    New York City.

              (Body and enquiring mind, together with the information
              previously given him through this channel on aurascope,
              static eliminator, and his work on the construction of a
              recording machine.  You will answer the questions which he
              asks regarding these.)

           1. EC:  Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [440],
              and the information that has been given through these
              channels on aurascope, eliminator, and other appliances
              and information of varied natures.  All must be considered.

           2. Ready for questions.
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .
                                        .

          21. (Q)  Shall we try to patent aurascope?
              (A)  There will be - Yes, we would wait until October and
              then the period in which there would be an infringement upon
              any will have passed, for it passes the 27th of August!
              Yes, we would patent it in the fall, after there has been
              the sufficient experimentation with same.  For this in itself
              will lead (not in its first inception, but with some of the
              other associations or interests that the body will concur
              with and work out later) to real value to rather the
              professional people than to the laymen.  Hence there will be
              the necessity of a great deal of experimentation before this
              may be presented in its finality.  But don't go to your
              professional people first!  MAKE the experimentation rather
              with the laymen, and then when it is ready for presentation
              go to two organizations at the same time.  This doesn't mean
              on the same day, but during their regular meetings in that
              same year.  The associations through the clinic of the
              homeopathic profession and the neuropathic profession.  Not
              to the A.M.A.

          22. (Q)  Will Dr. Paul Cold [Dr. Paul E. Cold, N.D.] be of
              assistance in developing this instrument?
              (A)  Dr. Cold is very good, but do not go to ANY of the
              PROFESSIONAL men in the experimentation - for you'd lose it!

          23. (Q)  Whom else shall I seek to help in experimenting with it?
              (A)  Any that are rather in the field of PSYCHIC
              experimentation; for we are not dealing with anything that
              pertains to the field other than that which will in its final
              analysis be of aid to the profession - and the sad part of
              it, those who may turn it into a charlatan idea!  Hence turn
              rather to those that are seekers along the lines of aid to
              their fellow man.

              In the experimentation, then, those who have ideas, yes -
              but rather those of the optometrist profession.  They are in
              question, yes - but rather of that field, for they are those
              who may aid in just the experiments in the BUILDING or making
              of that which is of value through such fields.  This may be
              and is questioned in self, why turn to these - which are out
              of the field!  For they, as a profession, are IN the field -
              and they will ask you the fewer questions as to what you're
              going to do with it!  They'll just make what you ask for!

          24. (Q)  Do you suggest any one in particular?
              (A)  No, just choose a good one.  German one would be better,
              or the descent of the Austrian or German - yes.  Of course,
              let them only make your glasses.  You don't have to tell them
              what you've got in mind, and they'll ask you little or few
              or no questions - because they already think they know all
              that's to be known and you don't know anything!

              this room, and the information given him on various subjects
              through this channel.  You will answer the questions which he
              submits regarding his activities and help him to clarify the
              information received.

          23. (Q)  You mentioned obtaining the blue color of the crystal
              for the aurascope from this stone.  There are many shades
              of blue present.
              (A)  Use that shade which will come as near being that
              through which the light may pass in the same manner as it
              does through the yellow and the red.  Of course, the white
              or the crystal will be that change where, with the rotation
              of the aurascope prisms, that place where there will be the
              beginnings of the colors coming into vision as it is slowly
              turned.  Hence to have too deep or too pale a blue (for the
              blue will be opposite the crystal) - the others then, of
              course, opposite each other - the yellow, the red.  So that
              in their rotation this becomes as a harmonious effect of
              all color, as they are formed to the retinae or vision of
              individuals in the order as they will come from this natural
              setting.

          24. (Q)  Would it not be well to mount a fly-wheel on the axis
              with the crystals, to obtain a uniform rotation?
              (A)  If mounted in the center, yes.

          25. (Q)  Should not these crystals be geared up to a higher
              ratio than that at which the handle turns?
              (A)  No.
