Blue has been the traditional colour of thiking, so people turn to the
atmosphere of blue when they seek to increase their ability to
objectivity. But that is all wrong: the blue colour is cold and
distances the person from the level of actual percetions. Blue is the
rest colour of an emotional thinker, that is why it is commonly
connected with objectivity, I guess. In any case, thinking consists of
perceptions of what the world is like. So the base of thinking is in
correct observations made by the senses, that is the ground and the
building material of all our thinking. From those perceptions we know
what the world is like, and we can unifie them to a picture of the
whole world by our ability to observe =96 based on our experience of
life =96 what are the common features that stay unchanged from situation
to situation. For example all people need food and they guide their
actions with the help of their own understanding, even though often
social and emotional things matter a lot.
So what is the colour of accurate sure perceptions about the world?
For a holistic view of the world which you need to form in your mind
(here live I, there is the street that I live by, there the food shop
that I visit daily, there the river and the houses where my friends
live with huge trees growing in the garden,=85 A picture of the whole
world in this way, of all that you know: placing things to a map of
the world, where you can zoom in and out, you get easily and naturally
the best possible holistic view of the world!), the colour of
observing that holistic view in your mind is the colour for observing
a landscape with lively eyes: GREEN!
For making accurate observations in your daily life in order to add
them to your picture of the world, to understand those sides of life
better, you need vivid eyes, alive in the middle of the action. That
is the colour of energetic movement with all the senses open to
receive life: ORANGE. This must be one of the major aims of the
ancient Buddhist in choosing the orange colour to symbolise Buddhism:
if you keep your eyes open, you will learn at least something about
the things that you meet in your life. And so you will be able to
guide your life better: to live a happier life!
For understanding what the things in your life mean to life, to your
own life and to others as well as to the world at large: how they
affect your living environment which determines your chances in life,
you need feelings: feelings about your own life, compassion toward
others and feelings about the living environment and the ways of
living (=3D feelings about the nature, moral and ideals at least).
Feelings reflect the im****tance of things to life. This is easy to
understand with extremes, like if someone dies, that leaves a dark
atmosphere, and if a new baby is born, that brings a very positive
reddish atmosphere. Similarly with other things in life feelings
indicate whether something is positive or negative. In this one needs
to be analytical: there are several sides to each thing, both positive
and negative, so we typically feel in many different ways about each
thing in life. The goal in observing feelings is to follow the
positive feelings and to get rid of the causes of negative feelings:
rid of needless destruction at the same time as cultivating healthy
happy natural and moral (moral means health of the society and that is
good for yourself because health is the strongest and happiest option)
way s of living. So the goal is to aim at the reddish direction. By
loving the RED colour in its unsymbolical form we give room to
feelings. That helps us to safeguard the health of ourselves, of our
social relation****ps (helathy =3D most beneficial, says the theory about
evolution's competition) and of our living environment. Noticing
feelings when thinking makes us observe the signifigance of things to
life. That is why the red colour makes you strong.
