William Walker Atkinson Quotes

“Black: represents hatred, malice, revenge, and similar feelings.”

“Blue: of a dark shade, represents religious thought, emotion, and feeling.

This color, however, varies in clearness according to the degree of unselfishness manifest in the religious conception. The shades and degrees of clearness vary from a dull indigo to.”

“Brown: of a reddish tinge, represents avarice and greed.”

“Crimson: represents love, varying in shade according to the character of the passion.

A gross sensual love will be a dull and heavy crimson, while one mixed with higher feelings will appear in lighter and more pleasing shades.

A very high form of love shows a color almost approaching a beautiful rose color.”

“Gray: of a bright shade, represents selfishness.

Gray: of a peculiar shade (almost that of a corpse), represents fear and terror.

Gray: of a dark shade, represents depression and melancholy.”

“Green: of a dirty shade, represents jealousy. If much anger is mingled with the jealousy, it will appear as red flashes on the green background.

Green: of almost a slate color shade, represents low deceit.

Green: of a peculiar bright shade, represents tolerance to the opinions and beliefs of others, easy adjustment to changing conditions, adaptability, tact, politeness, worldly wisdom, etc., and qualities which some might possibly consider 'refined deceit'.”

“Light Blue: of a peculiarly clear and luminous shade, represents spirituality.

Some of the higher degrees of spirituality observed in ordinary mankind show themselves in this shade of blue filled with luminous bright points, sparkling and twinkling like stars on a clear winter night.”

“Orange: of a bright shade, represents pride and ambition.”

“Red: of a shade resembling the dull flame when it bursts out of a burning building, mingled with the smoke, represents sensuality and the animal passions.

Red: seen in the shape of bright red flashes resembling the lightning flash in shape, indicates anger.

These are usually shown on a black background in the case of anger arising from hatred or malice, but in cases of anger arising from jealousy they appear on a greenish background.

Anger arising from indignation or defense of a supposed 'right', lacks these backgrounds, and usually shows as red flashes independent of a background.”

“Yellow: in its various shades, represents intellectual power.

If the intellect contents itself with things of a low order, the shade is a dark, dull yellow; and as the field of the intellect rises to higher levels, the color grows brighter and clearer, a beautiful golden yellow betokening great intellectual attainment, broad and brilliant reasoning, etc. a beautiful rich violet, the latter representing the highest religious feeling.”
