Blue and Gold

Meditate on blue and gold as this will purify the mind and take it to a higher level where evil influences cannot operate.

Anyone on the spiritual path will be attacked by evil, and the more progress you make, the more you will be attacked or, using the word the Masters who spoke to me back in the day used, "assailed". (Incidentally, they had a slightly old-fashioned way of speaking which, if adopted self-consciously, would just sound pompous but if used naturally, as it was, gave what was said more weight.)

How are you attacked? There are generally two forms, external and internal. The former means you might come into contact with people who abuse you. The intention here, not so much of these people for they are merely pawns but of the dark powers behind them, is to get you to react and respond in kind, thus falling down to their level. Resist not evil doesn't mean don't fight evil. It means don't react to it or repay it in its own coin.

The second way of attack is that the evil powers stimulate weaknesses within yourself, anger, pride, whatever it may be. They can do this but only if you permit them. They can affect your thoughts and emotions if you let down your inner guard and allow yourself to be carried away by the negativity they seek to stir up within you. They can only stimulate what is already there (unto the pure all things are pure), but if you have a tendency to any particular sin they can blow on the coals, as it were, of that sin and cause it to flare up. If you are not watchful you might identify with this and be swept away by it. Therefore, stand back from your emotions, do not follow negative thoughts. Observe the pattern and disengage from it.

If or when this becomes too hard and you find yourself unable to detach yourself from a particular bad thought or negative emotion then the exercise at the beginning of this post can help. There is something about the combination of the colours of blue and gold that purifies and elevates the mind and, in the Master's words, takes it to a level where evil cannot operate. Evil can only function on the lower levels of being. As you rise through the planes the shadows fall away and the light shines unimpeded. Blue and gold which, not coincidentally, are the colours of the sun in a clear sky have the effect, when concentrated on, of taking the mind to a higher place. Try it and see.

  1. in portuguese there is an expression for something that is perfect, literally 'gold over blue'. i never thought much of it until now, but the heavenly connotations strike me as intuitively true.

  2. I hadn't heard of that but there is something about those two colours together that does hint at a state of perfection.

  3. I remember in the bad old days I couldn't imagine colours very well: I was starting to live in a ghost world. Then my cup was filled, and now I *can* imagine them and also perceive them better. I'd never before appreciated the tinge of blue in the sky at midnight. As a result of this post I've set my desktop background to a wide blue sky with golden clouds beneath! And I'm going to try imagine those colours during darker moments.

  4. You should try to visualise them as well as use them externally. That has a greater effect for these purposes though both are good.
