Exactly. I think DNA samples work, not because they contain a living
aura, but because of the sympathetic nature of auras. The DNA is
imprinted the same way an area of space can be imprinted. That is why
a photograph can work. It is imprinted as well. I don't have my books
with me, but that is the way I remember things.
