This course represents the fruits of a life long study of the healing forces present in color by Dennis Klocek. The intent is to build a bridge between the laws of color represented in the sciences and the potentials for color therapy in psychology. The bridge consists of the range of archetypal feelings generated by the array of colors found in a twelve tone spectrum. The sequence of the lectures is designed to illustrate how color as a physical phenomenon can be understood as a symbol of the deeper soul constitutions that serve as the dynamic keys to the process of individuation.
