53 THE QUALITIES OF COLORS
The color black is found before red in the electromagnetic spectrum of colors but, unlike them, it is not a visible color, because the color black is the absence of any source of light, unlike the other colors that represent a different light frequency. The color black, in general, can be considered feminine, and that is why it can be used to represent the earth, but, on certain occasions, it can also be used to represent the male sex. The black color can represent the night, the silence, the seriousness, the emptiness of the space. It is the opposite of the point of white light and circular matter that represents the male sex, therefore, when they are together, they represent the bipolarity of the universe and also all the forms of bipolarity that exist. This color can also represent the ignorance that is derived from the lack of light, that is why it is used to represent evil, because evil occurs when, due to lack of light, we choose the wrong path.
The color red represents energy, strength, masculinity, matter, but also risk and instability, it can produce a feeling of comfort but also of overwhelm. This color combines well with black because they are followed in the spectrum of colors, this is due to the fact that before the first form of light existed the color black existed, which is, in reality, the total absence of light. These colors are generally benign, because that is the normal meaning of these colors, so when they are used to represent evil or materialism, it is because they are making exceptional use of their meaning. The color red is the first of all visible colors and therefore can also represent the beginning. This is a mainly material color, therefore, it can represent the sensual pleasure that the physical senses provide, such as the pleasant sensation that the sun produces on the skin, music, sex, the pleasure of food, that is, represents those sensations of pleasure that derive from the physical and normal tasks of life that do not require a great intellectual effort. It is also the pleasure provided by technology and well-managed work, that is why, in the future, society will rely on these forms of pleasure and will forever reject violence as a way to obtain benefits.
In an evolved world, happiness must arise from the balance between technique and philosophy, technique provides warm, salty reddish and physical pleasure, and philosophy provides blue, sweet and spiritual pleasure. Technical pleasure must arise from work and the handling of technology, but a job done in order to make people happy and not just as a means of production. Spiritual pleasure must arise defending justice as an essential philosophical principle, this is fundamental for the coexistence and progress of humanity to be possible. Philosophy is also important because it helps us understand the fundamental meaning of things, which is necessary if we want to extract the maximum benefit from life. In this way, work and technique offer us the part of the pleasure that comes from the red, salty, masculine and horizontal dimension, and the philosophy of justice offers us the sweet, feminine and blue pleasure that come from the vertical dimension. Both forms of encouragement are necessary to complete man and represent the two essential dimensions of the universal cross. One represents the stimulus derived from material things and the other represents pleasure that arises from the spiritual part of life.
Each dimension must occupy only its rightful place, because when the red dimension is abused, injustice and materialism can be generated. This color is found on the left side of the symbolic cross or X that governs the universe but, in reality, it represents the right side if we consider it looking from its position. The color red also represents the horizontal line of the cross when it is posed as a circle, or the vertical line when the horizontal line is shown as a crystalline straight line, because the circle is masculine and the straight line is feminine. The horizontal line represents matter and the color red, this means that in the material world power corresponds to politics along with the rest of the physical forces. On the other hand, the vertical line corresponds to the spiritual world, therefore, in the religious or philosophical aspect, justice must be the one that determines the leadership, because it is the most important element of this dimension. The cross of dimensions can rotate continuously, constantly changing the horizontal and vertical dimensions, forming with its movement the shape of a galaxy.
The color red is also associated with war, because among other things it can represent energy, chaos, injustice and disorder, it must be taken into account that misdirected energy can favor collision and conflict. This shows that, in the past, some people were already able to understand the metaphysical meaning of colors, that is why the color red is associated with war and blue with peace. In the past, people believed that the planets were gods, so they decided to make Mars the god of war because of its red color. Someone might think, if the color red can represent war and the horizontal dimension, and the color blue can represent peace and the vertical dimension, does this mean that war is justified considering that the two dimensions make sense? The answer is, that all war is legitimate when it is done in self-defense, but for those who believe in the theory of the exceptions of justice, the expansive type wars used to extend the size of the states could also have a meaning, because within his own state that war would be considered legal. However, and according to this theory, in order not to be in contradiction with this principle, this war should be fought without tyranny or cruelty.
The difficult thing in this case would be to defend the war without questioning at the same time the defense of justice as an essential philosophical principle. The wars of expansion that take place in the world have as their main purpose to unite the world in a single system and a single language, for this reason, most likely, when the world finishes its evolution and the nations unify, the wars will also end. . Surely, the unification of the world will be achieved without the need for an armed conflict between the great powers of the world, because the fear of nuclear weapons will force them to agree without the need to reach a military confrontation. When nations spread through space, the risk of new wars will also appear, but space is not like Earth because the enormous distances between the planets will make the existence of space empires unfeasible, even trade between them will not have much sense. Trade as understood on Earth is logical within a closed system but not in an open system like space. The planets may need to import some mineral products, but it will be only exceptional compared to the trade that may exist within each planet because it will always be more economical to recycle what is inside one planet than to transport the products from another. This will guarantee each world a smooth and independent progress.
An example of the ambiguity of wars would be the expansion of the Roman Empire, because although it is true that this expansion brought progress and civilization to many nations, however, it was also full of abuses and acts of tyranny that were not necessary to achieve their goals objectives. Comparatively, the republic phase was in many ways more dignified than the empire phase, but it is common for power to corrupt those who have it. Ideally, any unifying process should be done without violence, therefore, in my opinion, it is better to defend justice without exceptions.
It must also be emphasized that not everything that is possible in the universe makes sense to do so, therefore, what is absurd should not be done even as an exception and therefore would not be part of the universal law that seeks the balance of potentials and that is usually organized as majority behaviors on one level, and logical minority exceptions on another. Nature determined that everything or almost everything that makes sense can have valid exceptions, but we should only make as an exception what makes sense, because if it does not, it is not correct to defend it by saying that it is only an exception. In other words, the fact that every logical and valid rule may have an exception that is also logical or valid, does not mean that it can be applicable to behaviors that are not logical, in this case it would be an exception to that rule. This applied to moral conduct determines that if justice is considered to be the only valid option, then the theory that defends the exceptions to justice would remain outside the universal law that seeks the balance of potentials of those things that are logical, because in this case no exception to that rule would be considered logical. The truth is that in history, wars have been part of human behavior too often, and each side always claims to have a reason for provoking them, which shows their intention to produce them even if they do not want to acknowledge it, that is why they cover it up using set phrases such as that it is a patriotic duty, or that it is to defend civilization, democracy or the monarchy according to the times, but, deep down, they are only phrases to cover up the ambition to dominate others and impose their own interests.
An example of this are the "friendly wars" that the Greeks waged in classical times. The reason for defining them in this way is because in these conflicts each side did not try to absorb the territory of the other and integrate it into their state, because in the end For each conflict, only the areas of influence that each autonomous city had over the others were determined, but without this implying the loss of control over their land for the loser, nor an increase in territory for the winner, they seemed more sports competitions than real wars as if they were just friendly wars. Perhaps the clearest example of this was the Peloponnesian War, because in this conflict, Sparta defeated Athens after a long and costly confrontation. This conflict was started by Athens when it made the decision to dominate the entire region by force with the excuse that this way they would be better prepared for new invasions by the Persians. But, surprisingly, when Sparta won, it did not use that victory to absorb the territory of the loser and integrate it into its own, but rather it limited itself to imposing a pro-Spartan government that shortly after the withdrawal of the army from Sparta, it was again as before anti spartan. Later, Sparta was defeated by the Thebans at the Battle of Leuctra precisely because, faced with the evidence that they were going to lose, the Thebans decided to break the rules of friendly conflict that until then all sides respected and consequently Sparta lost the battle and never again it was once again a military power in the region. Perhaps the reason that the Greeks fought like this could be because the geography was too mountainous for it to be easy for some to dominate the other. Or also, because they did not want to weaken each other too much because of their fear of an invasion from Persia. In any case, this military game of the Greeks was ended by Rome, who unlike them did not consider war a friendly conflict, because every territory it defeated was immediately integrated into its own in a definitive way.
The universe is governed by laws and plans that can be represented as a cross. This universal cross can be shown as an X or as a cross, it all depends on what you want to highlight. As a cross it represents the division of the world into two planes, the horizontal male and the vertical female. But, as the cross can rotate, in other planes of the universe the horizontal line can also represent the feminine dimension and the vertical the masculine one. As an X it can represent the masculine in red on the left, and the feminine in blue on the right, then the night below and the day above. You can also represent both symbols in a single scheme by putting a cross inside the X.
To better understand the movement and change of dimensions of the cross, it is necessary to imagine that the X divided by the cross now has eight sections, which allows placing the red and blue color in each of the four arms, in this way they all pass to the rotate through all areas, but the red color is always located to the left of the blue to symbolize the separation between above and below or the material from the spiritual. In this case, the colors black and white do not participate because in this scheme it is about analyzing the different options that the male and female or red and blue polarities have. But red could also be replaced by black and blue by white, thus symbolizing that the rotary movement advances from ignorance to knowledge and from darkness to light. Then the color black would be on the left and white on the right in each of the four arms of the cross and would move from left to right or from black to white.
In the universal X, the horizontal plane can be divided in turn between the male and female poles or red and blue, red on the left and blue on the right. In this case they represent space and that which is constant all the time, therefore, it is necessary to maintain the balance between the two as if it were a balance so that everything works correctly. The vertical plane, on the other hand, represents time, it also represents the progress from ignorance represented in black below towards light and truth represented in white above.
The white color represents the male pole and the black color the female, but in certain cases it may be the other way around, this is not a contradiction, because it must be understood that these planes can rotate in each dimension, therefore, it is necessary to analyze them according to their own circumstances, because a thing can be one way in a circle of evolution, but in the previous or subsequent circle it can be apparently the other way around, this is not a contradiction, because the situation is different but only because there are new circumstances.
When the cross of dimensions begins to rotate, it takes the form of a barred spiral galaxy due to a mixture between the horizontal and vertical dimension, the ancient philosophers discovered this symbolism and that is why they created the swastika cross. This symbol was already known and used in various religions long before the Nazis used it in their ideological propaganda campaign, therefore, it is a mistake to blame this symbol for what they did. They tried to use all the good things in the world in order to hide their own evil, so today, people reject good things like the swastika or the defense of the race just because the Nazis used them as an alibi to deceive people and obtain world power. With the rotating movement of the cross, the dimensional planes can be reversed each time one passes to a higher or lower plane or wheel, this means that a thing that appears masculine on one plane appears feminine on another. This is not a contradiction, because they are different shots with different rules. These planes do not contradict each other, because, although it is true in the horizontal plane that regulates free will they are somewhat different, nevertheless, they remain the same in the vertical plane that contains the basic universal rules that are constant regardless of time or time space. It is as if it were a tree whose branches represent the horizontal, masculine, red, and material plane, and each height represents the differences that exist in each plane of evolution. And the trunk represents the universal laws that are common to all planes of existence. The trunk has to be the same at each height because it is the common denominator that joins all the planes. It cannot change to prevent the system from falling apart. It could be said that it is the rigid exception that every unstable system needs in order to function despite its instability. This same example is represented by the human body, because the flesh represents the horizontal, warm dimension and free will. And the bones represent the vertical, blue, crystalline, cold, spiritual dimension and the constant laws that have to be kept rigid so that the universe, or in this case the body, can stand upright.
Pink is an emotional color because it contains a bit of the youthful energy of red and the honesty and purity of white.
The yellow color can symbolize the illusion of life and wisdom, because it contains the youthful energy of red but evolved towards the balance represented by green. In its negative aspect it can represent drought, materialism, acidity or dry land with respect to water. This difference occurs when the red color overflows and covers the area that corresponds to the blue, preventing a balance between the two dimensions, it is the same that happens when the water does not irrigate the land and it turns yellow and sterile. It can also represent the same as the color red, the male sex. This color, like all the others, can represent many positive things, but when it is put in the place that blue should have then it represents materialism or the so-called yellowishness.
Wisdom is associated with the color yellow because it is a material quality that is produced by adding knowledge. On the other hand, intelligence is associated with the color blue because, unlike wisdom, it is not only a sum of knowledge, but also implies the ability to manage knowledge in the most balanced way. Wisdom is therefore the consequence of adding material knowledge during human life, but, on the other hand, spiritual intelligence is derived from learning to select those knowledge and moral values that must be preserved from one life to another to favor our evolution.
The color orange is similar to yellow and represents the illusion of life because they combine the youthful strength of the color red with the vitality and balance of green.
The color brown produces a feeling of comfort, because it contains the strength and warmth of red with the calm feeling of black.
The green color represents life, because it is between the red color that represents energy and the spirituality that blue represents. This color represents the balance that almost all things need to have to function properly, therefore, when that balance is not had, then diseases and conflicts arise. With a pyramid, you can also show the relationship between the color red that is male and blue that is female, because the lower left corner represents the color red, the lower right corner represents the color blue, and the upper corner represents the color green, because when the two colors located below are united, the green color located above is generated, which represents progress and life. Therefore, the symbolic color of the number three is green. Instead, when it comes to understanding the symbolic meaning of a square and the colors that represent it, then the lower left corner would be red, the lower right corner would be yellow, the upper left corner would be green, and the upper right corner would be blue.
The Catholic Church tried to appropriate these symbols that already existed since ancient times when it tried to use them to represent God, the virgin and Jesus as if they were father, mother and son. But this approach is absurd, because it makes no sense to say that God is both father and son, and the virgin, mother and wife of God, because according to his own arguments God is the creator of everything and therefore cannot have wives or private children. That, obviously, would be polytheism and occurs when it comes to equating religious characters with royal families. The correct explanation is that these symbols represent the universal male and female dimensions that are equally present throughout the universe and are expressed through all beings that inhabit it. They are therefore not people, but general symbols. But the church, bent on creating idols that people could worship, turned these universal symbols into simple dolls with which to handle people.
The color blue represents the feminine dimension, stability and spirituality, therefore, it is ideal for those who want to feel relaxed, it is a perfect color for sensitive people and for philosophers. It can also represent the vertical line in the dimension cross, but it depends on each situation, because the red and blue color can invert their position with respect to the dimension cross, that means that sometimes the red appears in the horizontal position and the blue in the vertical, at other times or levels invert their position, it all depends on the circumstances, this is not a contradiction, because it is different only in different situations. Red is on the left side and blue is on the right of the X of dimensions, but red below and blue on top can also be changed and placed, thus, the X of dimensions takes on a double aspect like a helix of four blades. You can also set the red color to the left side of each propeller and blue to the right, in this way the movement is generated, because one represents energy and the other vacuum and in a pressure situation the movement goes from high pressure downward. This is what happens in a weather vane or in a galaxy, although being different dimensions also have some differences. Someone may think, what does a galaxy have to do with a weather vane, an egg with the first particle of the universe, man with the sun, or the seeds of a plant with the particles of light? It is true that in some things they are different, but in others they are the same, this is because the whole universe is connected in the same way that occurs with the layers of an onion. The universe at each level changes somewhat, but also maintains its initial appearance in other things. This circumstance is also governed by the horizontal and vertical dimension, the horizontal represents what is changing at each level and the vertical represents what never changes, therefore, from the simplest to the most complex, some things do not change and others do.
The violet color is the last visible color that is why it can represent the spirit, the end, and that which is transcendental, because after the end comes the beginning and renewal again. All colors also correspond to sound frequencies, that means low sound frequencies are red and high sound frequencies are blue.
The black color represents tranquility, rest, night. As it also represents the total absence of light in certain cases it can represent ignorance, error or evil, because ignorance arises due to the absence of intellectual light. This color can also represent emptiness, space, or the valley of silence in a musical note. Because it can represent ignorance, the symbolic X is at the bottom. This is because gravity produces condensation and condensation can cause confusion, therefore, the earth is associated with the bottom, matter and confusion. The sky is associated with the part above, the light and the truth, because the further up we go, the lower the density and consequently the greater the distance at which we can see. The teaching of all this is that we must extract the good from the matter represented by the color red, but without neglecting the spiritual world represented by the color blue. This is necessary, because matter and spirit, or man and woman can only produce life and happiness when they come together. Matter or spirit can both have a masculine or feminine meaning depending on the circumstances, because the matter of the earth is feminine if it arises with respect to the sun, but it is masculine with respect to water or spirituality. And the spirit is feminine with respect to the earth, but it is masculine with respect to the soul, it all depends on the plane, level, or circle in question.
The color black is in its essence benign like all the others, but in certain circumstances it can represent evil, therefore, it is best not to use it in clothing except if it only represents a minimal and exceptional part of the whole. However, it is appropriate, especially in adults, to wear somewhat dark clothing, because the dark tone represents seriousness, but the predominant black color is inadvisable because it favors evil. There are people who use it precisely to suggest their adherence to evil and thereby intimidate others, and then there are those who dress well as a way of self-defense by trying to resemble the previous ones, but those who seek justice and good do not it makes sense for her to dress that way knowing the meaning of it. This behavior shows the existence of a moral vacuum, because if that person feels insecure of himself, he can always turn to good and justice as points of support.
The white color contains in its interior all the colors in equal proportion, so it can represent justice, good, and favor that meditation is objective, this is so, because each color can favor a certain emotional state. It can also represent matter or existence in white, in contrast to emptiness or nonexistence in black, or the crest of sound in a slingshot. This color can represent the culmination of knowledge and light, because without intellectual vision it is not possible to achieve knowledge. For this reason, those who wish to meditate to find the truth, must move away from the material density generated by gravity and which is located below, to be able to see into the distance from above. In other words, you must get away from the bustle and noise, and seek the tranquility that is necessary to have a spiritual vision and at a great distance, for this reason, in the x of dimensions the white color is located above. But we must not forget that perfection is in balance, that means that it is best to obtain the benefit that matter offers us, but without forgetting the importance of the spiritual world.
The color red and black on the one hand, and blue and white on the other have certain similarities, therefore, they can serve to represent each other in some situations. For example, when the red color located to the left of the X is abused, materialism and evil represented by the color black is generated, then the X is turned and the red color goes down to become black. The blue and white colors can be placed both on top of the symbolic X, these colors represent knowledge, spirit and justice, because when the symbolic X is turned, then the red color on the left goes down and the blue on the right goes up along with the white color. In the scheme of the symbolic X, evil is placed below, because gravity pushes matter downwards generating density, ignorance and darkness, and as an undesired consequence of that ignorance evil can appear, but this assumption is only an example exceptional, because most of the uses of the matter are benign. For example, on our planet, the earth is below because it is where gravity condenses it, but it is on the earth where tree roots can grow to create life, and it is also with that matter that we can build everything beautiful that civilization has. The color red can be associated with energy but also with materialism when that energy is badly channeled, but it also represents the energy of the sun that sustains life on Earth and provides us with warmth when we are cold. This shows that the fact of associating density or matter with evil is only an exceptional or accidental assumption and not something that represents it in general. The good and the white color are located above the symbolic X, because where there is less density it is easier to analyze things with perspective and therefore there is more probability that justice will emerge. In any case, the confusion generated by matter or energy will be resolved with the progress of science, that progress is, in a certain way, a way of giving intellectual value to raw matter, but it is also a way of uniting the world spiritual with material until matter, once tamed, acts in consonance with spiritual values. It could be said then, that technological progress is measured by the ability that man has to control the characteristics of matter. The conclusion of this is that all colors are benign in their essence, this means that their association with evil or injustice only depends on those exceptional circumstances in which the dimension corresponding to that color is abused.
If we raise the colors applied to politics, then too masculine or red governments turn into dictatorships that cause the loss of civil rights, but too feminine or blue governments turn into anarchies that cause political and social chaos and proliferation of all kinds crime. A government that is too centralist allows citizens great freedom in the personal or family sphere, but does not tolerate criticism and reserves power for a very small group of people, this can cause great excesses or wars. On the other hand, an anarchist or libertine model, allows all criticism as long as it is not prevented from appropriating public money, it is also characterized by supporting criminals against decent citizens, because it considers that each person must do what appears to him regardless of That this can cause harm to others, this also serves as a means to promote impunity for politicians. Therefore, to have the ideal government it is necessary to find the balance between both models.
Colors can be divided into primary and secondary, the primary or most important in metaphysics are red, green, and blue, because they are the ones that are most closely related to universal circumstances. The red color represents the male pole, and the blue color represents the female pole and together they generate the color green as a result of their union. These colors are not personal identities but universal values found in all beings that exist in the universe. Then there are the black and white color, but the white color rather than a specific color or frequency of vibration represents the sum of the three previous colors. The color black is also not a frequency of light, but rather represents the absence of all light or vibration. The rest of the colors are derived from the combination in a greater or lesser proportion of the previous ones, that is why they are more secondary.
