Contemporary feelings about purpleare in the areas of exaltation, victory, royalty andsuccess. It’s the colour of kings and queens. Itis a positive colour that stimulates dedication,fairness, honour, honesty and earnestness ofspirit. If we allow it to be part of our life andenvironment, its magnetic quality is sure to raiseour spirits in times of stress.To conclude, we should make aconsistent effort to feel the effects of colouron our emotional and mental being andchoose those colours that seem to enhancethe higher states we desire. Colour is not a partof the material objects in our environment; it’srather a constituent of light and is reflected to ourconsciousness, where realisation takes place.Our modern understanding of light and colour begins with Isaac Newton(1642-1726) and a series of experiments he published in 1672.48The Rosicrucian Beacon -- June 2009
