YELLOW

Yellow

Symbol of The Mind

Next to white, yellow emits the maximum amount of light. As one of the primary colors, it stands alone. It is new thought and a new dawn.

Yellow is a Mental Ray and is known as the “Level of Intellect” (Man has separated himself from the animal through the development of the Intellect.) It stimulates the Logical Mind and the Reasoning Powers which causes understanding and discernment to be implemented.

Yellow deals with the Mental Plane:

It can create castles in the air and lose contact with reality as a coping mechanism if its reality becomes too painful to endure.

It can become involved with the visions of the future to the extent of losing the NOW in the shuffle. (I think of this as day-dreaming to the extreme.)

It has a gift with words...great color for writers and public speakers

We “think” in yellow (wisdom).

It is a mourning color in Egypt

It is courage in Japan, the color of cowardice in the U.S.

It is the color of merchants in India.
