Colour Light and Spirituality
Our inner light
Deep inside in everyone of us our own inner light shines, a vague and distant memory
for many of us, for some even less than that. It is the light of our soul, our true
nature, often hidden but always present.
This inner light shines just outside the
realm of our physical senses. Only subtle vibrating energy like light can touch this
spot deep inside us. colour light invites us to cherish ourselves in our inner light
and to be in contact with our soul.
The clarity and focus provided by the light enable
us to look from our true nature, from a position where problems do not exist. It
enables us to react on any situation in our lives from a position of lightness and
freedom. Here we no longer need to fight ourselves, because part of us gives a clear
“YES” whereas another part of us says “NO”. Here we can feel our certainty and exceed
the limitations and restrictions of our ego. Here we can see old things in a new
light.
Here we can also find the deepest possible meaning of healing ourselves: our
relation with our own lifes, our capacity to say “YES” to life itself!
"Don't fight with darkness. Better light a candle."(Osho)
Bring light into your life!
When colour light is applied to our body we literally feel lighter and we will start
to enjoy more of the marvellous journey called life. Something old and dear, covered
in the dust of oblivion is reminded in the light. It brings clarity in our lives
and openness for experiencing love (the power to heal), joy (the power to transform)
and wholeness. It invites us into a higher state of consciousness.
Through light
we will get rid of much confusion, which is related to being here below. It reveals
to us that life is not an endless chain of problems. That the fundamentals of life
are easy and accessible: life is about loving and learning!
Being in our inner light
we come to realize that our goodness and perfection are here right now and have always
been there. We can stop searching for it! And we suddenly come to realize we no longer
have to change ourselves: there is no need to become what we already are!
In our inner
light the way we relate to people starts to change: making connections goes more
easily and gives more satisfaction. And: this is contagious! Just like moth attracted
by light, others will feel attracted to your light!
Did you ever wonder why we get
so excited when we see the rainbow after a fresh spring shower? Could it be that
it reminds us of the coloured beauty of our own inner light? And: whether or not
we want to admit it, we feel a little kid again, who wants to go out to find the
pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Once we find this pot of gold inside ourselves
we can stop searching.
The cycle of life and death
According to Tibetan teachings revealed in the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying,
most people experience a period of darkness, like a comfortable womb, after dying.
When this darkness clears, many strange experiences arise. There are sounds of the
universe breaking up. Our conceptual faculties no longer operate, so the world that
we have constructed in our minds breaks into pieces and dissolves. We then experience
the full range of whatever our mind has been accumulating---joys, fears, and other
wonders.
When this level of experience clears, what follows is a series of coloured
lights. The way one relates to these lights is highly significant. The first light
is blue. If one can look at this piercing blue and relax with its intensity and vibration,
then the soul is ready to dissolve back into the primordial state of universal consciousness.
If this blue is uncomfortable, then another light appears which is less intense.
If that light is also uncomfortable, then another, less demanding light appears.
And so on.
In this way we keep trying on different shoes until we find the ones that
fit.If we have a need for possessions and a fixed sense of security, then the blue
light will make us feel too naked. We will prefer the yellow light, a colour which
carries the energies of earth, home, security, and fixedness. If we are still enamoured
with passion and aggression, then the red light will be attractive. It will give
us the energy we need to continue with our aggressive activities. As we pick and
choose the palette that suits us best, we construct the colour matrix for our next
return to earth. Our choice of colours creates the mind which becomes the body we
find ourselves born into. Because the seeds of primordial energies are in our minds,
we then create experiences in our lives which give us an opportunity to experience
our desire for security, aggression, passion or whatever. In this way we choose our
lessons and keep returning to the school of earth until we have completed our own
curriculum.
It should be emphasized at this point that colours are not chosen by the
conscious mind of physical existence. That mind dies with the body. The choices are
made by our naked awareness, the part of us which has no desire to control or manipulate
its own energies. This part simply goes into the colour states where it feels most
resonant, most at home. Obviously, training with the colour frequencies in advance
of such an experience has distinct advantages. This is like lighting a candle in
a dark room. In a flash, the dark evaporates, and light shines.
The light invigorates us with fresh energy and demands that we operate at higher
levels of integrity and intelligence.
As we become familiar with colour light, we slowly evolve into new ways of living,
new frames of reference, based on the laws of light. We learn to receive higher frequencies.
We perceive states of light within ourselves and others and understand how what we
do, and say, and think, affect the light within.
