Thirty-one Colour Meditations

In the “Statement of Principles,’ issued by the Cosmic Colour Fellowship, the term Colour-Consciousness is defined as the “Soul’s Awakening to the Divine Principle in the Universe – the foundation of true clairvoyance and intuition.’

The author confidently believes that this object has been fulfilled in the following exercises in developing Colour-Consciousness.

The aim of the meditations is fourfold viz :

To develop the spiritual faculty of colour
To develop the power of concentration
To assist the student in applying the power of self-healing and overcoming negative conditions
To create a telepathic link between all students of colour science.

Meditation 12
Visualise clearly a quiet, mellow afternoon sky. Soft filmy clouds woven of purest dream-colours – faintest rose and pure gold – draw slowly, calmly to the west across a background of pale and distant blue, melting in clearest green. No wind nor any sound, except the occasional hush and rustle of bird flights high up in the still air.

The last sunbeams slant along the smooth green sward as the day sinks into the depths of cosmic peace.

Realisation. Love and peace is ever to be found in the soul of nature. When we contact the cosmic soul we enter into the interior harmony of the universe. We find the beauty and tranquillity of the stars and the radiance of celestial colours within our own higher mind. Our soul extends and grows in health and wisdom, beauty and peace, in line with our spiritual unfoldment and proceeds with rhythmic harmony, like the pattern of radiant colour that crosses the heavens and is absorbed by the cosmic soul.

As we become at one with the soul of the universe so do harmony, order and peace manifest in our life – our thoughts become tinged in faintest rose and purest gold.

Meditation 13
Picture in your mind a high, secluded hill, crowned with the restful green of clustering trees. It is peaceful and serene. Behind and above, wild clouds of grey and dark purple with silver rifts between them, hurry past on the swing of the wind – beautiful but stormy, ever changing like the changing things of the earth. Upright, changeless and steadfast stands the secluded hill – a green symbol of the faithfulness which is the strength of love.

Realisation. The soul, attuned to the cosmic stillness, remains steadfast amidst the storms of life, surrounded by the eternally-peaceful green ray.

The power of the soothing green ray increases as we hold our mind on the colour. Concentrate your thoughts upon the green hill and just relax. To attain the cosmic consciousness and realise perfect peace and ease of body and mind, we have first to become still; not still in the merely negative and passive sense, but still in the cosmic or spiritual sense. Not by denying any feeling of life and emotion but being inwardly still in the etheric, astral and mental bodies and relaxed by concentration on the green cosmic vibration. This stillness is the radiant repose of the infinite and eternal and is in fact the highest possible state of mental and spiritual activity.

Meditation 14
Visualise a peaceful sky of pale lilac and rose, hanging serene over the departing day. The surrounding woods are very quiet and self-absorbed as they await the silent descent of night.

The earth grows dusk, but the cosmic-flush of the heavens lingers, blessing the earth with a loving radiance of pink and opal – its token of remaining glory – like the burning thought of some divine joy that has gone.

Realisation. At numerous periods in our life, there comes the feeling of being forsaken, abandoned, lonely and forgotten. The warm rose-radiance of love seems to be withdrawn. Our souls seem left wide open to the coldness of indifference and neglect. Yet when we descent into the very depths of night and enter the darkness alone, we find God is there. When you feel forsaken concentrate on the green ray and the cosmic soul, with its warm cheering radiance, will draw near to you. When we feel pressed down by difficulties and experiences too great for us, then we discover even when all seems hopeless, humanly speaking, that there is a ray of light shining perpetually upon us.

Over our heads there is always a sky of lilac and rose – if our earth-senses could but see.

Meditation 15
Picture mentally some clustering bunches of acacia bloom, swinging milk-white and sweet amid the pale green leaves, high up against the azure sky. Flower upon flower, like chains of beauty, as if it were from heaven to earth. Their ivory blossom and faint green leaves frame tiny spaces of faintest light – pearl and amethyst – from a sky of drifting clouds and silver gleams.

Realisation. Love and beauty is the keynote of the universe. The value of colours is that they possess a power or vibration of their own that differs according to the quality and radiation. Thus positive or magnetic colours have the effect of awakening in our souls feelings and powers akin to themselves.

When feeling depressed or discouraged, anxious or depleted, you should visualise red (courage and strength), green (hope and faith), scarlet (victory), emerald (joy), bright blue (happiness), yellow (guidance and wisdom), amethyst (spiritual awareness). You will find that your inner soul – the real source of your thoughts and health – responds to the power and vibration of the rays. Without the uplifting and inspiring influence of colour our minds would be perpetually in a state of darkness and turmoil.

Meditation 16
Visualise a standard rose-tree covered with large pink blossoms. The pure colour and exquisite shapes stand light and radiant, against the dark rich background of the great old trees. Nearby are two tall white lilies swaying in the breeze and shaking the fragrance from their bells. They look like white spirits conversing with one another, pale, slim and graceful.

Such perfection makes the whole world seem beautiful.

Realisation. Colour realisation is an expansion of consciousness – a lifting of the veil of dull matter – and a recognition of the spiritual reality and divine principle throughout the universe. The result of colour consciousness is that we discover our true identity. We develop a sense of increasing power and a widening perception; we perceive the light that permeates every substance, for the ultimate essence of matter is indestructible light. By cultivating colour awareness in our lives and by contemplation of the beauty of nature, we become transformed into the divine image and thus are able to see God, the source of light, everywhere. When the mind is filled with radiant thoughts and the aura aglow with cosmic colour then the soul becomes impervious to dark and negative vibrations.

Radian health and personal efficiency is the result.
