      2 The Vibration of Color

      Science has demonstrated that color is basically our collective perception of the effects of wavelength and frequency. The Edgar Cayce material certainly agrees with this idea. The readings affirm that the various colors and tones we observe are associated with the way in which we perceive different rates of vibration. Going a step further, the Cayce material states that color is essentially the result of the manifested vibrations of spiritual energy. In fact, the readings detail the way in which personal spirituality impacts the aura, colors, and personal vibrations; and many readings explore the connection between spiritual growth, the evolution of personal vibration, and the specific colors associated with various levels of consciousness. From his own conscious state, Cayce described auras as follows:

      An aura is an effect, not a cause. Every atom, every molecule, every group of atoms and molecules—however simple or complex, however large or small—tells the story of itself, its pattern, its purpose, through the vibrations which emanate from it. Colors are the perceptions of these vibrations by the human eye. As the souls of individuals travel through the realms of being, they shift and change their patterns as they use or abuse the opportunities presented to them. Thus at any time, in any world, a soul will give off through vibrations the story of itself and the condition in which it now exists. If another consciousness can apprehend those vibrations, and understand them, it will know the state of its fellow being, the plight he is in, or the progress he has made. (See Auras booklet, Appendix I)

      In addition to his conscious perceptions regarding the aura, many of Edgar Cayce’s readings also describe this vibrational energy field in greater detail. There are also hundreds of readings that examine the connection between spiritual growth and consciousness development. When a group of Cayce’s contemporaries asked for readings on the process of psychic development, the readings suggested instead that the real goal should become one of spiritual development which would, in turn, facilitate intuitive development as a natural by-product. Two collections of these readings explore this premise in greater detail—the Study Group readings (known as the “262 series”) and the Prayer Group readings (known as the “281 series”). This material proposes that as individuals grow in consciousness, they raise their own personal vibration and are able to perceive higher states of intuitive or spiritual awareness. For example, when a forty-one-year-old member of the study group asked for a dream interpretation reading in which she saw the aura of herself and her sister, Cayce told her that the dream was “a glimpse of self-awakening.” (262-8) Her work with spiritual growth was facilitating her intuitive talents. Similarly, when a twenty-eight-year-old member of the prayer group had begun to frequently see flashes and shapes in her line of sight, Cayce informed her that she was seeing the “higher vibrations” and “spiritual forces” of higher levels of consciousness. He also stated that her growth in spiritual development was prompting the phenomenon of “beginning to see auras.” Connecting this to her own spiritual transformation, he added: “. . . As life, light, and love with understanding—is reflected in self, so may there be seen those of the same reflection from others.” (281-4)

      As discussed previously the readings for the prayer group also explored the colors associated with each of the seven major spiritual centers or chakras, which Cayce correlated with seven endocrine glands in the physical body. Each of the colors may correspond with both a positive and a negative level of consciousness.
