and the animal passions.
Red: seen in the shape of bright red flashes resembling the
lightning flash in shape, indicates anger. These are usually shown
on a black background in the case of anger arising from hatred or

malice, but in cases of anger arising from jealousy they appear on a
greenish background. Anger arising from indignation or defense of a
supposed "right," lacks these backgrounds, and usually shows as red
flashes independent of a background.
Blue: of a dark shade, represents religious thought, emotion, and
feeling. This color, however, varies in clearness according to the
degree of unselfishness manifest in the religious conception. The
shades and degrees of clearness vary from a dull indigo to
Crimson: represents love, varying in shade according to the character
of the passion. A gross sensual love will be a dull and heavy crimson,
while one mixed with higher feelings will appear in lighter and more
pleasing shades. A very high form of love shows a color almost
approaching a beautiful rose color.
Brown: of a reddish tinge, represents avarice and greed.
Orange: of a bright shade, represents pride and ambition.
Yellow: in its various shades, represents intellectual power. If the
intellect contents itself with things of a low order, the shade is a dark,
dull yellow; and as the field of the intellect rises to higher levels, the
color grows brighter and clearer, a beautiful golden yellow
betokening great intellectual attainment, broad and brilliant
reasoning, etc.

a beautiful rich violet, the latter representing the highest religious
feeling.
Light Blue : of a peculiarly clear and luminous shade, represents
spirituality. Some of the higher degrees of spirituality observed in
ordinary mankind show themselves in this shade of blue filled with
luminous bright points, sparkling and twinkling like stars on a clear
winter night.
The student will remember that these colors form endless combinations and
blendings, and show themselves in greatly varying degrees of brightness and
size, all of which have meanings to the developed occultist.
In addition to the colors mentioned above, there are several others for which
we have no names, as they are outside of the colors visible in the spectrum,
and consequently science, not being able to perceive them, has not thought
it necessary to bestow definite names upon them, although theoretically
they are known to exist. Science tells us that there exist what are known as
"ultra-violet" rays and "ultra-red" rays, neither of which can be followed by
the human eyes, even with the aid of mechanical appliances, the vibrations
being beyond our senses.These two "ultra" colors (and several others
unknown to science) are known to occultists and may be seen by the person
of a certain degree of psychic power. The significance of this statement may
be more fully grasped when we state that when

seen in the Human Aura either of these "ultra" colors indicates psychic
development, the degree of intensity depending upon the degree of
development. Another remarkable fact, to those who have not thought
of the matter, is that the "ultra-violet" color in the Aura indicates
psychic development when used on a high and unselfish plane, while
"the ultra red" color, when seen in the Human Aura, indicates that the
person has psychic development, but is using the same for selfish and
unworthy purposes - "black magic," in fact. The "ultra-violet" rays lie
just outside of an extreme of the visible spectrum known to science,
while the "ultra-red" rays lie just beyond the other extreme. The
vibrations of the first are too high for the ordinary human eye to sense,
while the second consists of vibrations as much too low as the first is
too high. And the real difference between the two forms of psychic
power is as great as is indicated by the respective positions of these two
"ultra" colors. In addition to the two "ultra" colors just alluded to, there
is another which is invisible to the ordinary sight - the true primary
yellow, which is indicative of the Spiritual Illumination and which is
faintly seen around the heads of the spiritually great. The color which
we are taught is characteristic of the seventh principle, Spirit, is said to
be of pure white light, of a peculiar brilliancy, the like of which has
never been seen by human eyes - in fact, the very existence of absolute

light" is denied by Western science.
The Aura emanating from the Instinctive Mind consists principally of
the heavier and duller shades. In sleep, when the mind is quiet, there
appears chiefly a certain dull red, which indicates that the Instinctive
Mind is merely performing the animal functions of the body. This
shade, of course, is always apparent, but during the waking hours is
often obscured by the brighter shades of the passing thoughts,
emotions, or feelings.
Right here it would be well to state that even when the mind is calm
there hover in the Aura the shades indicative of the predominant
tendencies of the man, so that his stage of advancement and
development as well as his "tastes" and other features of his personality
may be easily distinguished. When the mind is swept by a strong
passion, feeling, or emotion, the entire Aura seems to be colored by the
particular shade or shades representing it. For instance, a violent fit of
anger causes the whole Aura to show bright red flashes upon a black
background, almost eclipsing the other colors. This state lasts for a
longer or shorter time, according to the strength of the passion.
If people could but have a glimpse of the Human Aura when so colored,
they would become so horrified at the dreadful sight that they would
never again permit themselves to fly into a rage - it resembles the flames
and smoke of the "pit" which is referred to in certain orthodox churches,

and, in fact, the human mind in such a condition becomes a veritable
hell temporarily. A strong wave of love sweeping over the mind will cause
the entire Aura to show crimson, the shade depending upon the
character of the passion. Likewise, a burst of religious feeling will bestow
upon the entire Aura a blue tinge, as explained in the table of colors. In
short, a strong emotion, feeling, or passion causes the entire Aura to
take on its color while the feeling lasts. You will see from what we have
said that there are two aspects to the color feature of the Aura; the first [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
