These images are reproduced on Plates 16 and 17 in The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death 'The Golden Chain of Homer' Photographic Film Message On 13 July 1996, this phrase Perfectio consummata seu Quinta Essentia Universalis was transmitted (in scrawled 'handwriting' - how?) on to an unopened roll of Polachrome 35 mm 12-exposure colour transparency film during a session attended by Professor Archie Roy (see below), one of the world's leading specialists in astrophysics. This phrase was interpreted by one adviser as meaning From chaos to the highest summit of mankind. Another specialist from the SPR, Dr Alan Gauld, translated it 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". Detective work by Professor Roy's investigating colleagues from the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) established that the symbols allude to the Golden Chain of Homer (Aurea Cantena Homeri). This does indeed symbolise a journey which begins with chaos and confusion, and ends with perfection, thus representing Man’s progress towards the Light.
