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 17
Picture mentally an effulgence of mauve and turquoise – a deep, clear illimitable azure sky. The earth below is warm and soft, decked with masses of purple-flamed lilac. Peach-coloured rhododendrons lift up great bunches of blossom, pale wistaria hangs its sweet-scented clusters against a rose-coloured brick wall. All seem to mingle in cosmic rapture with the blue above until they become one living joy and harmony, peace and stillness.

Reaslisation. If we would know and enjoy inner peace and harmony and also live our life polarised to our particular ray, we must learn the secret of inner stillness. Our auric colours must harmonise. To feel and experience the cosmic soul – life, we have to be still, to be quiet within, to withdraw from the maddening crowd. All cosmic or esoteric teaching is of this nature; it is only the external, the elementary, the material, that is noisy and restless.

The more outer noise and turmoil there is in our lives, the further we are removed from our centre of light.

The way of the spirit is not noise, excitement, and discord but quiet calm irradiation.

Peace, joy, happiness, health, harmony and beauty flow from the cosmic soul.

Meditation 18
Visualise a hedge-bank in a leafy lane, full of bright summer colours. The grasses are tall, tremulous and vivid green. The speedwell has opened its blue eyes and shines among the fallen petals of the overhanging wild-cherry. Buttercups hold up their golden discs and the hedge is crowned with its first white garland of hawthorn – delicate pink centred flowers and pearly buds.

There emanates a healing aura of harmony, love and sweet peace.

Realisation. It is necessary to spend a certain time every day in creating an inward awareness of union with the cosmic soul and in realising our oneness with the eternal white light as expressed through the varied colour rays of love, life, joy, peace and wisdom.

This practise results in unity of life, in health, success and progress on all the planes. Meditation is the alchemy that transmutes the greyest thoughts into bright cosmic vibrations. The contemplation within the mind of colour rays first results in a new condition of thought and consciousness and afterwards manifests in outward affairs.

The peace of the cosmic soul is an interior order and harmony to which all true colour-conscious minds have access at all times.

Meditation 19
Picture mentally a stormy sea with the snowy spray dashing against the rocks as the incoming waves hurl themselves shorewards. Then, for one beautiful moment, a glorious rainbow spreads across the sky as the sunlight darts down from behind the dark, frowning clouds. A green beam of light flashes in the water and discloses a radian islet with white waves climbing up the steep sides of amethyst-shadowed rock.

The clean, stormy wind blows wildly and the fresh delicious air is full of life and vitality.

Realisation. Like the immovable rock we are held in the one universal power – nothing can assail or disturb us. For there is only one universal spirit of life – the cosmic soul which infuses our auras with rainbow-hued colour and spreads over our inner horizon like a stream of radiant harmony. The life of the illumined mind is a life of mastery and positive force. Negative vibrations have no power. We are surrounded by infinite cosmic rays, by a plenitude of power and life, the emanations from the universal soul. From the divine centre, source and spirit of infinite light, love, wisdom, power and harmony, comes a reaction according to our need. Not only within our being but around us on all sides is the vast, inexhaustible cosmic soul – the only power.

Meditation 20
See in your mind a radiant sunset of flame-colours and purple, the whole western sky shot with every shade of crimson and gold and amethyst.

Picture the sun sinking slowly down behind the rim of the world. The vast radiation stretches far out embracing everything and reaching toward the east where the sky is full of heavenly turquoise. Every little cloud is flushed with purest rose – the cosmic emblem of divine love.

Realisation. The cosmic colour student regularly visualises himself as surrounded with a colour-aura or atmosphere entirely to his own liking. As often as possible, he wears his ray colour in some physical form of manifestation and above all he is accustomed to seeing himself psychically enveloped in it; by so doing he gains confidence in his ability to attract to himself whatever he desires and to surround himself in the aura of his choice.

Every colour (and sound) has a special signification and whether you can produce the tone or colour in your outward sphere or not, insist upon having it with you subjectively – by this means you make the cosmic atmosphere subservient to your needs and you are in a condition to extract from it whatever you please.

Meditation 21
Imagine you are at the extreme north of Europe where during the summer months there is no general darkness between the evening and the morning. Nevertheless at about ten in the evening the whole host of colours, which belong to the setting sun, are displayed. From this hour onwards an unexpected and extraordinary change begins. There is an intensification of brilliant orange and yellow as well as of darkest green and blue. A stupendous drama takes place which approaches its height close to midnight. At this hour the sun and sky are nothing but shining gold, forcing a pathway over the sea. Rocks and mountains rise black out of the dark water and even the clouds are like sombre curtains ready to be drawn across the glorious cosmic splendour of the midnight sun.

Realisation. Light and darkness exist in the soul of every human being. But the soul that is polarised to spirit knows no darkness and is never shut off from the eternal splendour of the celestial sun. light is spirit. But no human eye has beheld the light itself. On the physical plane we can only study light in connection with matter. It shines on objects and illumines them so that we can perceive them. And light, contacting mater, turns into colour. As a direct manifestation of nature, light remains hidden from man. We can only calculate its speed, propagation and its general effects. The real nature is unknown to material science. Cosmic light for instance, has a much greater velocity than 186 000 miles per second. Its real velocity is instant presence.
