Thus, across the lower portion, extending almost the whole
width of the design, - begin in the righthand side by putting
the crescent, with the seven stars; the one closer to the
crescent the brighter. These, the stars, would be five-
pointed, in gold and in silver. This portion of such a
drawing should be rather with the background the blue canopy
of the heaven; dark, while toward the left side would come
the shading to that of light, lighter, lightest - with just
the very tip of the sun arising - over the expanse as of
water; with heavy vegetation and growth. The animals all
would be indicated as in a state of expectancy toward the
light, or the sun; from the serpent to the fowls of the air;
indicating especially the raven and the doves in the fowls of
the air, and the serpent upon one of the trees or shrubs
indicated, and the ox, the camel. These especially would be
indicated in such a drawing.
Upon the left, in the lower portion, put the symbol of the
sun. Upon the right put the symbol of the earth. Each of
these would be in white and green; even the sun would be in
the light green with the white and gold center.
Above this indicate a mountain, and the symbol or sign that
is the symbol of Gemini - or the two-bodied figure, or united
bodies as a figure (small), on the edge of this mountain.
The vegetation here would be very verdant, in the central
portion; this shading off to the left in that as of the
temple, - or the crystal, or an obelisk with the crystal in
the top. This, to be sure, would not be too large a figure;
with many figures at worship about the light that comes from
this obelisk.
On the right side would be the fields with laborers in chains
or bonds.
This, to be sure, would indicate the period in Atlantis when
there was the separation of the sexes indicated among things,
or the thought-figures or bodies; those that had caught the
vision and those still kept in bondage.
Upon the left put the symbol of Mercury, - this in gold and
green. About same would be the sign or symbol of Aries - or
the ram - four in number; small, and black.
Upon the right side put the symbol of Jupiter, - in purple
and coral; while about same would be four symbols of Scorpio.
These indicate the place, the activities, and the manner in
which these were applied in the experience.
Above this, extending almost across the whole of the drawing
(which should be in vignette, and not encircled as the
first), - indicate - in the left - the trek of a group or
body of people, with a leader - with a staff in hand -
leading peoples; with a few beasts of burden, - as the ass,
the camel, and also elephants, but few in number of each of
these - rather distributed through the group and not as the
mere leaders or in the front of the caravan. Then the
pyramid would be indicated in the central portion, in sand,
with the top not complete; for over this would be the light
as of a flame. In the right portion put the facade of the
Temple of Sacrifice, indicating within at least three crude
rock-built altars. Upon same would be the fires builded, but
not a sacrifice on either of these. Also a little farther to
the right of this figure would be the Temple Beautiful. This
would be - and upon the columns would be - the stars - seven,
indicated by a facade of many columns, the central bearing
the larger star the higher in color as well as in size. And
the entrance to same would be indicated by the white and
green light that would appear from same.
In the sides from this indicate the heart on the left and the
cross on the right. No characters, no symbols would be about
either of these. This would rather be indicated in the
activities as experienced by the entity through that Egyptian
sojourn; indicating the entrance, the activity, and that
attainment in the sacrifice and in the temple service; and
the heart as the manner, the cross as the attainment.
Above this the central figure, also as a vignette, would be a
series, first, of terraces of rock - and the lame man upon
same, with the light as from heaven above shining upon the
figure; with the raven upon one ledge of the rock and two
doves together upon another. This should be as a central or
larger figure, the center the rock and the man, though the
small-sized figure of the man, but indicating the lameness.
Upon the left put the sign or symbol of Venus, with Pisces -
four, black-faced, about same.
Upon the right side put Uranus; part gold, part green, the
gold the upper portion. About same would be the symbol of
Libra, four in number.
These would indicate the place of activity, and the manner in
which there was the activity in the experience.
Above this, in the central portion to the left side put a
ship or boat, with a very small mast; with at least three
people in same, - one a man of middle age, one a younger man,
and a girl. Indicate them, by their dress, as orientals.
Upon the right side of this, in the center, put the anchor, -
this not too large yet balancing with the figure of the ship,
and the cross - still to the left. The cross would be in
gold, while the anchor would be in steel-gray edged with the
lighter gray; with sufficient rope or cord to same to make a
balanced figure.
This would indicate a period of the entity's activity, and of
being anchored in the cross, through that period in Laodicea.
In the lefthand put the symbol of Mercury, and about same the
symbols of Leo.
In the righthand put the symbol of Mars, and about same the
symbols of Aries.
The figure above this would be a small ship, rowboat. This,
however, would be upon the right side. The central figure
would be a brothel, or as of a counter over which drink is
dispersed, and the crowd about same - the dancing girl also
indicated in the central figure. And to the left would be
indicated the river in which there is the destruction of the
raft when crossing is attempted.
Upon the left side here put Neptune as the symbol, with the
symbols of Gemini about same.
Upon the right put the earth sign, with the symbols about
same of Libra. All these symbols would be in black, but
small.
As to the attaining of the entity:
In the top put the all-seeing eye, the singleness - the eye;
- this rather large but balanced with the rest of the design
or chart. The clouds would be about same in pink or purple,
the blue and green - all indicated in the lights as from the
cloud; with the cross, and this leaning just a bit towards
the right. Here, under same, put the small white star. In
the edge of the clouds, extending below the eye, put the gold
eight-pointed star.
These are the symbols, this is the aura chart, of this entity
Edgar Cayce.
We are through for the present.

7/23/76 GD's note: 5/72 GD in N.Y. received permission (by
phone) from Ingo Swann to photograph a painting he made
several years ago [1967-1969] based on Edgar Cayce's aura
chart as described in 294-206. He had loaned this painting,
with others, for a special exhibition at the American Society
for Psychical Research. GD and Lucille Kahn saw it there.
He had offered the original to A.R.E. in the first place but
at that time we had no place to put it. See the photograph
with other Aura Chart Painting collections in A.R.E. Library
or Edgar Cayce Foundation Archives.
