24 - The Colour Orange
March 1992 - SAGB
Beloved ones, I greet you with the greeting of spirit and the power
of this beauteous time when you come with your bodies somewhat
wearied from their struggle to withstand the chill of the wintry
season, and grey because you are aware of the lack of that pure and
brilliant light which nourishes your soul and body. As you come in
the quietude we draw around you some of the beautiful golden light
of spirit that it may bring you that energy and renewal of life and
power which you need at this season of your earthly growth.
When you talk about this colour which is orange in its hue,
I would say, In what degree is this to be understood? For it is a
blending of the hues of gold and pink or red which brings forth your
orange glow.
As your beautiful English land wakes from its wintry sleep,
is it not true that this little gleam of orange coloured light is to
be discerned in all things which are awakening? If you gaze into
your blossoms you will see in the heart or some part of each one a
little spot or touch or glow of orange coloured light. As you look
into your growing herbage, although it may appear to be green,
somewhere in the intricacy of the leaves themselves you will see
this little thread of red or gold or orange colour. This is the hue
of the energy force which moves through your earth and the world of
nature, awakening all things into new strength, energy and life. So
we say that it is indeed one of the colours of renewing energy.
It would be good if you could make use of this renewing
colour in your lives and your earthly body. From time to time pause
in the busyness of your activities and by an effort of creative
thought draw to yourselves this beautiful golden hue; draw it in as
an activity of your imagination not of your mentality, so that it is
not focussed in your mind or before your eyes, but focussed in the
centre of your body. It is in this central part of your bodily
being that the blending of gold and red takes place and gives you
the energy of life.
Is there not this blending of red and gold within the
physical body which is the tool of your spirit? Red is the basic
colour of your living blood and yellow or gold is the basic colour
of the great energy centre you call your liver which gives forth
certain elements of a yellow or golden colour. These need to be
blended in harmony if you are to have the health and life and energy
you need throughout the structure of your physical body.
In the quietude of your meditation focus occasionally on the
manner in which the red and gold need to be concentrated in the
abdominal region of your physical being; thus it may stir into new
activity and new energy this very important living part of your
person. In this way, by the effort of your thought and your breath,
you breathe into yourself this particular renewing energy after the
body has been through the slothful period of winter rest which
affects the world of nature - and affects your physical body because
it is attuned unto the natural world of which you are a part.
If you so desired, you could sometimes use some of the
orange coloured herbage which grows in your midst to bring about a
stimulation and cleansing in the inner cell structure of your
physical body. The living physical body, the cells of your body,
are intended to move in attunement with the actual rhythms of the
natural world of which you are a part: there is a rising and
falling of energies, there is a changing in the colour and
structures of the energies throughout the seasons. Whether you know
this or not, your body is attuned to those changes. If you do not
allow the body the opportunity to come into tune with those changes,
then the energies become slowed through your structure and the cells
of the body are not nourished or changed as they would desire; then
you will say that there is a form of illness or dis-ease taking
place in the physical structure itself.
Spiritual understanding and knowledge of the laws of spirit
do not relate entirely to the world which you will inhabit when you
leave your physical body: they also relate very much to the
spiritual structure of the world of which you are a part and the
manner in which you may use your body and soul to be in attunement
with that particular structure.
Beloved ones, when you speak about spiritual development, do
not think that this relates only to the development of your
spiritual mind and spiritual consciousness; it also relates to the
health and harmony of your physical body. While you are taking
your incarnation through these years of experience your spiritual
will, your spiritual understanding, has to be expressed through your
physical body which is your tool in this mortal world. True
spiritual development should be a balance between understanding the
things of spirit and the manner in which you use your body, wisely
and well, in the years of your mortal experience. Therefore an
understanding of the energising power of the orange colour, and of
the blending, is of great importance to you and those whom you meet
or know.
When you come and talk about healing for one another and try
to send your thoughts unto those who are near and dear to you, then
it would be good if you considered from time to time whether the
person whom you wish to help or heal is in need of quickening
energy. If that is so, in your thoughts you may bathe that
individual in orange hues which are a blend of pink and golden
colours, see this circulating around the central part of their being
that the basic natural energies may be stimulated and brought back
into essential strength and harmony.
At this season of the year, it would be good if you
nourished the body occasionally on fruits that have an
orange-coloured covering or partake of vegetables of this colour.
Because they have this colour within them, it shows they have a
surplus of the life-giving energies which move through the earth or
the tree or blossom. Each part of the world of nature is absorbing
that which is needful for its life and purpose at that special place
and season - for those who will partake of its flesh or nature, or
to share with that which surrounds it in the world of nature itself.
You are surrounded, beloved ones, you are surrounded by
beautiful healing aspects of light and colour, by the bountifulness
of the world of nature, and yet it seems that you often walk blindly
with your eyes fixed upon some small problem - you do not see the
glory of the world around you.
In this little moment of speaking when I am able to use
words through the voice of this medium, I try to set before you the
thought and vision of the greatness of life which surrounds you, the
bounteous beauty which the Great Master Creator has invested in the
world of nature for the use of its creatures and souls such as
yourselves. From time to time feast your eyes upon the beauty of
the colours you see emerging from the soil, and draw some of that
vibrant life-energy into yourself - but think as you do so: “What
marvel and mystery is this.”
If you gaze upon leaves or blossoms when there is an absence
of light you will not behold the glory of colour, you will see only
something which is pale and glimmering in that paleness of night.
But when the sun rises and light floods your land again, then you
will see the gold and red and orange hues, all there for the
sighting of your eyes and feasting of your soul.
It would seem that light is needed before you may comprehend
these things. From time to time lift your eyes into the glory of
the skies and contemplate the great light-giver which you call the
sun, think how that light brings forth the colours which you behold
for your comprehension. But if there is no light, is there is no
colour? If there is no light do the colours cease to vibrate? Not
so! The colour is there, it is only that the vision of humankind
needs light for its comprehension.
Light – spiritual light – is needed in the consciousness ere
you become aware of the great and wonderful truths of spirit. This
is the reason we say to you continuously, Think about the light,
radiate light, let your light shine! As you begin to emit your own
beautiful light your inner consciousness becomes quickened and you
see with a greater comprehension the colours and glories, energies
and powers which are in the world around you.
Beloved ones, I bring you the thought that it is light,
perfect light, which is most urgently needed!
