Hi friends,
I’m excited to announce the upcoming Soul Course Series Three: Soul and the World with Dennis Klocek. We will be starting off with the topic of: Soul and Color.
As promised, he’s sent me some early materials I have published free to everyone on color and the human soul. I’ve edited and created some new graphics for Colors of the Human Soul: An Overview which includes a video tutorial on how our perception of color is an analog to the language of the soul.
The video illustrates a fascinating effect described in the “Grotto Imagination” by artist Liane Collot D’herbois, that describes how light appears as opposite colors when perceived standing in shadow versus standing in light. This means that the nature of color is entirely relational, just like soul activity!
Using this perception, he shares an excerpt from his book Colors of the Soul: Physiological and Spiritual Qualities of Light and Dark about the colors as they relate to our soul nature, giving detailed examples for each color as it relates to personality traits, gems, and natural phenomenon. I’m still figuring out which color I tend to feel like, but it’s given me insights into some of my more challenging relationships :D
