 The Law of Colour. To get any comprehension of this law students should remember that colour serves a twofold purpose.  It acts as a veil for that which lies behind, and is therefore attracted to the central spark; it demonstrates the attractive quality of the central life.


Some quotes on “colour”:

“We are employing the word “colour” here in its original and basic sense as “that which veils. ” Colour veils the sevenfold differentiation of logoic manifestation and, from the angle of vision of man in the three worlds, can be seen only in its full significance on the buddhic plane. All fire and electrical display will be seen to embody the seven colours.” -A Treatise on Cosmic Fire

“Energy and force must meet each other and thus the work is done. Colour and sound in ordered sequence must meet and blend and thus the work of magic can proceed. Substance and spirit must evoke each other and, passing through the centre of the one who seeks to aid, produce the new and good.” -Esoteric Healing
