23 - The Colour Purple
May 1992 (extract)
Oh Thou Who art the source of light which illuminates the shadows so
that people become aware of radiance, Thou whose light is hidden
within the darkness because the darkness and light are part of each
other; Thou whose light is sought by your children in the mortal
body, they seek to understand Your radiance and shed Your light
through the ways of the earthly existence.
As they turn their thoughts toward the Source of light, may
we be able to extract from that glorious radiance those purple hues:
coming to the awareness of the children of earth, may these stir
and stimulate within them an understanding of Your power and
majesty, and the knowledge in the deep inward consciousness that
they are part of Your light - for You are light and illumine them.

As you develop and grow, slowly but surely you begin to develop the
amethystine and purple hues within your aura, and you may say: “How
comes this into being?”
Firstly you should know that within your spiritual body,
your auric self, you have the red hues which are the sign and symbol
of your more worldly being. When you have a staining of dark red
within your aura, then we know you are subject to the passions of
earth and your sexual and other appetites are strong. But always,
as you live your earthly life, you come to the time when you are
touched in your heart, in your emotions. As your emotions unfold
and grow strong, a blueness is to be seen, the blueness of
lovingness and your emotional self, sometimes outstreaming in love
to another or sometimes when you enfold another beloved within your
arms or hands - because it is the blueness of emotion.
There is a blending of the blue and red when your emotions
begin to control and transmute your appetites; as these two colours
blend together there begins to unfold in the radiance of your aura
these beautiful hues which are may be light, sometimes dark -
according to the particular degree of response you have to the
circumstances of your earthly life. When the mauve or purple
unfolds we know that you, the beloved on the earthly side, are
beginning to develop spiritually, that out of the mauve and purple
rays is evolving the being who is a harmoniser, the one who becomes
a healer in the ways of earthly life.
When this purple colour is fully developed within you, it
becomes that which we call the symbol and colour of spiritual
responsibility; as you develop power – and purple is one of the
colours of power – you have to be prepared to carry some
responsibility for the people who surround you, for the work you
undertake, and even responsibility for the manner in which you live
your life. Often we show you a purple or mauve cloak and when you
behold this in your inner vision you will know it as a symbol of the
cloak of responsibility.
In the regions of spirit, we who are your guides and helpers
often have to earn that purple cloak ere we draw near to earth
conditions to fulfil our tasks of uplifting the souls of humankind
and bringing about a change in world consciousness - it is our
protection and a sign of our power. Our purple cloaks have to be
earned by service and the understanding and control of our emotions
- all becomes transmuted into the purpleness of power!
If you think upon past seasons of your earth’s history you
will remember how the rulers and power-bringers of your world used
to wear purple capes and purple clothing. In years gone by it was
only such as these who had power over the ordinary people and power
over the minds of the community; therefore purple clothing was the
sign of their power. But not all of them used their power wisely
and well, so it has changed and now not all rulers in the earthly
world wear the purple hues. Some wear cloaks of green or ruby or
blue, for only those who are strongly endowed are fitted to go
clothed in purple.
Those in spirit who are learning the spiritual truths,
learning to co-operate properly with the regions of light, they
slowly become enveloped in an outer aura which holds within it the
purple hues of power; it also holds strength within it, for only
those who have earned the purple cloaks are strong within
themselves. As a ruler needs to be strong ere he may wield his
power, so the beloveds of earth have to be tested to see how they
will use power before the purple aura may be given to them. I would
say that power is one of the most important tests in the growth of
the soul; it is a test which is failed by many earth rulers and
seekers after truth, for when they have power over others the
weakness of the person may assert itself and they become dominant or
domineering rather than spiritually powerful.
Ere you may attain to the purple you have to be tested,
beloved ones, and as you are tested you sometimes cry aloud,
saying: “Why do I have to pass through these times of loss and
sorrow?” You forget that these are tests of your strength and
forbearance, the tests of your understanding. So I say to you, Go
forward gently, go forward with understanding, go forward with the
sureness that as you develop and unfold and behold the purple hues,
then you are beginning to attain to the real power and healing and
certainty of spirit.
May peace be here.
