Auras: An Essay on the Meaning of Colors

by Edgar Evans Cayce

Edgar Cayce's little book of auras offers readers the results of a lifetime of observations and personal anecdotes relating to the meaning of auras, including the seven basic colors in the aura and how each is connected with a note on the musical scale, a planet in the solar system, and possibly health disorders. A fascinating account.

About the author

The origins of life, in the metaphysical sense, began with the creation of the celestial beings. According to Edgar Cayce’s readings of the Akashic Record, first came the Son, the Logos, or the Word -- as indicated in John’s Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” Out of the Word or this central primordial expression of life, all else was created. Again in John’s Gospel: “All things were made through this One.” In Cayce’s readings: “We have first the Son, then the other sons or celestial beings that are given their force and power.” Evil and the forces of what humanity has called the Devil developed as a result of rebellion against the flow of creation, the harmony of the original ideal that all life was to follow. Cayce puts it this way (note: the emphasis and parentheses are Cayce’s)
Edgar Cayce has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic "readings" to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing lives lived in the past and prophecies yet to come.

This book is really just an essay and I am discovering that everyone seems to have a different take on what the colors mean.

I believe it is more than just seeing them, but you also have to sense and feel them to understand the correct interpretation.

Nice writing, and of course by the pioneer no less lol

I would recommend

The elevator memory will forever haunt me.

this is a pretty short essay that did not surprise me. i learned that red was for the body, the earth, hell, that orange is considerate, that yellow is happy, that green is giving, that blue is moody, that indigo/violet is i forgot but that the ultimate color to be is white. i know someone who would insert an eye roll here but this kind of writing asks you to BELIEVE or to read with some disinterest. edgar cayce gives a few anecdotes and doesn't seem interested in scientific explanations and that's ok by me.

Intresting!

Oh god. This is something like the fourth or fifth book of his I've tried out and I really have tried, mostly as a favor to a good friend, but I'm sorry -- I just think this is so much horseshoe, I don't see how anyone can take him or his stuff seriously. Just another crank scamming people. I know some disagree with me, and that's okay, but I'm entitled to my feelings as well and I just can't buy into this guy and many others like me. Not recommended.

"The Japanese, for instance, are just emerging from a medieval civilization, and in attempting to see the things we already perceive they have strained their eyes so that most every one of them wears glasses."

Some spooky cool stuff, doe.
"The people in the elevator had no auras [...] the elevator cable snapped, the car fell to the basement, and all the occupants were killed."

In conclusion, it was OK.

An interesting read. I think Cayce is quite dated, but his observations of colors and auras are interesting, and definitely food for thought. I especially liked his points about how people dress and how this reflects their auras - made me consider what this said about myself.
