​Paranormal Photographic Evidence 4

This S-File shows some of the images obtained during photographic experiments.

Universalis

The 'Universalis' script was 'received' (i.e. 'transmitted' by the Communicators) on 35mm Polaroid film still in its light-proof container. No camera was used so the questions posed by this psi experiment was, 'how did the script get written along the length of the film, who wrote it, and what did it mean?

​This Psi Photographic Experiment was witnessed by members of the Society for Psychical Research.​

Picture
This film revealed a large scrawled message which seemed to read: Perfectio consummata feu quinta Essentia Universalis and there was a circle with a dot at the end.
Like many of the experiments that involved the SPR during the five-years of The Scole Experiment, the text seemed to be presenting riddles that required solving. It was wondered whether, as with previous SPR cases such as the Cross-Correspondences, the Communicators were posing the riddles in an attempt to show that they were indeed 'personalities' who had survived since the riddles would be outside the knowledge or experience of the mediums involved.

​From the book, 'Magic Symbols'.

​The writing was followed by a roughly drawn circle with a dot in the centre. Professor Roy, who was present, pointed out that this was a symbol for the sun, theories about which had been mentioned in the astronomical discussion he had been having earlier with the Spirit Team.

 
It was later found in a book, Magic Symbols (F Goodman, Trodd, 1989), which reproduces illustrations contained in a German publication of 1747, Aurea Gatena, oder eine Beschreibung von dem Ursprung der Natur und Naturlichen Dingen.
 

This contains an illustration of the 'Golden Chain of Homer' (Aurea Catena Homeri). On this chain are attached or suspended a number of symbols, one of which has a circle with a dot in the centre and a small cross below. At the base is: Perfectio Consummata feu Quinta Essentia Universalis (From chaos to the highest summit of mankind).
 
According to The Scole Report, this was translated by one adviser as above, but Dr Gauld, a member of the SPR, considered that it was better interpreted as 'completed perfection or the fifth universal essence': part of the highly symbolic device which begins the chain with chaos and confusion and ends with perfection, representing man's progress towards the light'.
 
So, from the evidence of Magic Symbols, what the investigators had initially supposed to represent the sun was now seen more clearly to match the bottom symbol of the Aurea Catena Homeri. It might be considered worthy of note that a film with this subject matter should be received when a professor of astrophysics was present, especially since what was found to be on the film after the session pertained to discussions during the session.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SCOLE EXPERIMENT VIA THE BOOK, REPORT, DIARY AND DOCUMENTARY

For many people, this website or the 86-minute film documentary, The Afterlife Investigations, are the first time they encounter The Scole Experiment.

​In addition to the film documentary, three books - with images, descriptions, and analysis - provide a comprehensive overview of this 'important to science' 5-year experiment.

The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death introduces all 5 years and the key experiments and concepts for the general reader.

ABOUT US

The Scole Experiment Website Managers and Curators of The Scole Files
The managers of this website are Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon. Grant and Jane are also the collators and curators of The Scole Files since 1998, administrators of The Scole Experiment Afterlife Research Association (SEARA or 'The Scole Association'), psi investigators and journalists, SPR members, writers, editors of The Scole Experiment diary ebook, and authors of the internationally best-selling book... The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death.

​Ownership and Copyright Notice
All the original material produced and collected during The Scole Experiment - including photographs, objects, audio/video recordings, as well as the records and diaries kept of the events - is owned by the Scole Experimental Group. In 1998, the Scole Experimental Group granted Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon - in their capacities as authors of The Scole Experiment, appointed collators and curators of all The Scole Experiment material, and administrators of SEARA - all rights to use all The Scole Experiment material for their books, articles, films, and other projects. Separately, The Scole Experiment book and other original books, articles, and documents created by Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon, including material provided for the development of The Scole Experiment movie, is owned by Grant Solomon and Jane as the originators and creators of those works.

30th Anniversary in 2023 and publication with universal free access 'for educational purposes only' to all The Scole Files
In 2022, in preparation for the 30th Anniversary of the first significant Scole phenomenon (1993) in 2023, Scole Group members - Robin Foy, Alan Bennett, and Diana Bennett - asked Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon (officially appointed collators and curators of The Scole Experiment material since 1998) to digitally publish - with universal free access for study and discussion ('educational purposes only') - all The Scole Files, including Notes and Transcripts regarding the audio recordings of the 'Communication' during the 500 x 2-hour sessions of The Scole Experiment. Previously, in the book, the report, the diary, the documentary, the commentary, and elsewhere, only approximately 10% of the files had been published. The remaining 90% of the data and evidence will begin to be made universally and freely available 'for educational purposes only' at the start of 2023.

The Scole Experiment Movie
The Scole Experiment Movie is a joint American/British project currently 'in development' with producers @AndrewdDeane of Industry Entertainment Partners (Los Angeles, US) and Rory Rooney (UK).
