Dinshah Ghadiali – Spectro-Chrome Therapy
Spectro-Chrome Metry Colour Projector
Here I must digress for a while from the text of Ghadiali’s book and describe an incident that occurred to me which has a bearing on the whole story.
Some years ago, I was asked to look at a queer ‘contraption’ in the attic of a large house once occupied by Dr. Mary Walker. I had no idea what it was or whether it could be of use, but I was impressed to take it away. I stored it in my garage where it remained for several years.
Then one day I began to consider adding colour therapy to my practice. I was offered a copy of Babbitt’s Principles of Light and Colour and a three volume book by Dinshah Ghadiali. I went into my garage, dug out my ‘contraption’ and having blown off the accumulated dust, found to my delight that it was a colour lamp with a complete, perfect and original set of colour slides, and for good measure, a spare set as well. After some search I discovered that it was probably made in the mid-30s, i.e. 50 years ago. On the front panel I found the diagram of the ‘Mysterious Mogen David Interlaced Triangle’ and I knew that I had been given the Key to Ghadiali’s work.
What is this Mogen David Triangle?
Mogen David Triangles
I continue his story.
‘Mysterious Mogen David Triangles’
“The Double Interlaced Triangle is a sacred symbol of the highest character. It is used by the Jews on their Synagogues, is promiscuously seen in the literature of the High Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Theosophists and all Occultists. It is called Mogen David, the Seal or Shield of David and was extensively used in ancient times in what are ordinarily called ‘Magic Rituals’.
“Whatever we may think with our modern ideas of life, we must admit that for the time in which King David lived, he was a man of great learning, enormous power, breadth of vision and strength of character. The Psalms of David team with gems of wisdom.” Because of his Theosophical study Ghadiali uses the Mogen David Triangles as a foundation of his colour therapy forming themselves into a complete circle.
Colour Polarity Performance
After pages describing how he arrived at this diagrammatic arrangement he continues:-
“This completed the Circle of ATTUNED COLOUR WAVES, being Oscillatory Frequencies then of a specific Color, graded to a specific position, to produce uniformly specific Wave-Lengths, with specific effects. It is this Attuning System that lifts Color Therapy from its empirical stage and firmly establishes it on a scientific basis of unrivalled precision …
“Having explained the rational of Attuned Color Waves, I shall proceed to elucidate the actual mathematical accuracy of Spectro-Chrome Metry.
“Spectro-Chrome is built around the Three Primary Colors exclusively, to produce its well-recognised Precision. In Spectro-Chrome Equipments, Red, Green and Violet form the main slides; two Secondaries, Yellow and Blue, are also supplied to make ALL the necessary combinations, to produce the physiological effects of all the Elements of which the World is composed.
“The first move, after making the Color Chart of the Mogen David, was to analyse the Spectroscopic Position of the Elements and deposit them where they belonged. As each Element has a number of Fundamental Lines, this task was exceptionally difficult, tedious and exasperating. I considered the Elements individually, I used various recognised methods to examine the Spectra of the Elements. Those that could be quickly disintegrated in the Alchohol or Bunsen Burner, I examined thus; others I investigated by making tiny electrodes and sending a High Tension spark across; many others I tested by Vacuum Tubes containing traces of them; some were ascertained by burning in the Electric Carbon Arc. In the last method, I superimposed the Spectrum of the Element on that of the Carbon and cut off the Carbon Spectral Lines, leaving the Element Lines. Where some easily cognizable Fraunhofer Lines were involved, like the Double Yellow Lines D of Sodium, I looked quickly into the other characteristics of that Element to find if anything existed that would in any way affect the ultimatum; if not, I fixed that Element within that Color range. Where I found a discrepancy owing to there being no prominent Fraunhofer Lines to fit it so, I had to look deeper into other effects of that Element, in order that the potency may be properly evaluated and fixed at the point of Predominance. Thus, patiently experimenting, I built my Single Color Polarity Predominance Chart, which you see here.
“This chart of the Color Waves Of The Elements is accurate along Chemical, Mathematical, Physiological, Spectroscopical, Psychological, Pathological, Clinical and Chromical Lines. Eighteen years of actual test in the work of hundreds of practitioners and thousands of sufferers did not indicate a flaw.”
