The Human Aura: Astral Colors and Thought Forms
Atkinson, William Walker
Occultism
THE RED GROUP. In this group of astral colors seen in the human aura, we
find strongly in evidence the clear bright red shade, similar to that of
fresh, pure arterial blood as it leaves the heart, filled with pure
material freshly oxygenated. This shade, in the aura, indicates health,
life-force, vigor, virility, etc., in pure and untainted form. The aura
of a healthy, strong child shows this shade of color very plainly and
strongly.
Strong, pure natural emotions, such as friendship, love of
companionship, love of physical exercise, healthy clean sports, etc.,
are manifested by a clear clean shade of red. When these feelings become
tainted with selfishness, low motives, etc., the shade grows darker and
duller. Love of low companionship, unclean sports, or selfish games,
etc., produce an unpleasant muddy red shade.
A shade of red, very near to crimson, is the astral color of Love, but
the tint and shade varies greatly according to the nature of this form
of emotional feeling. A very high form of love, which seeks the good of
the loved one, rather than the satisfaction of oneself, manifests as a
beautiful rose tint--one of the most pleasing of the astral tints, by
the way. Descending in the scale, we find the crimson shade becoming
darker and duller, until we descend to the plane of impure, sensual,
coarse passion, which is manifested by an ugly, dull, muddy crimson of a
repulsive appearance, suggesting blood mixed with dirty earth or
barnyard soil.
A peculiar series of red shades are those manifesting anger in its
various forms, from the vivid scarlet flashes of anger color, arising
from what may be called "righteous indignation," down the scale to the
ugly flashes of deep, dull red, betokening rage and uncontrolled
passion. The red of anger generally shows itself in flashes, or great
leaping flames, often accompanied by a black background, in the case of
malicious hate, or by a dirty, greenish background when the rage arises
from jealousy, or envy. The color of avarice is a very ugly combination
of dull, dark red, and a dirty ugly green. If persons could see their
own astral colors accompanying these undesirable mental states, the
sight would perhaps so disgust them with such states as to work a cure.
At any rate, they are most disgusting and repulsive to the occultist who
beholds them in the human aura, and he often wonders why they do not
sicken the person manifesting them--they often do just this thing, to
tell the truth.
THE YELLOW GROUP. In this group of astral colors seen in the human aura
we find as many varieties as we do in the red group. Yellow, denoting
intellect, has many degrees of shade and tint, and many degrees of
clearness.
