Colors And How They Can Impact Our World

How Do Colors Affect Us

RAINBOWS

There are rainbows after just about every rainstorm. They are majestic and beautiful In the Bible it says that God made a rainbow as a promise that there wouldn't be another flood that would ravage and destroy the world. Rainbows have many different colors and they certainly aren't black and white or shades of grey. The first instance of color use in the Bible is made in Exodus 28 with Aaron and the twelve gemstones and color of the twelve tribes. It is also said that these twelve tribes were symbolism to the zodiac in that time around 1300 B.C. Color is used for his very colorful priestly garb. Nothing like that Black and White you see today on the clergy. I wonder why they decided to go to Black and White because it certainly was not the norm in Biblical days, that's for sure!

Shades of grey. Hmmm ....someone mentioned this to me a while ago that the Universe or the God that they have is enveloped in shades of grey. The only mention of grey in the Bible is about Grey Hair.

I believe though that the world and all the languages and the people and the beliefs are not in shades of grey......... but Rainbows. The colors are the same in every rainbow and in everything that makes or projects a rainbow. They are always Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet and there are many different colors within that spectrum

Each of these colors has its own meaning and vibration to it. Just as each person on this earth, including animals, plants and insects and those living in the waters. We can venture to say that even the planets have colors and vibrational frequencies associated with them as well Everything has a color and a vibrational level and they all can be balanced if you know the colors and vibrations that are disabled or clouded by whatever it is that you are doing or feeling. Toheal with colors all that is needed is a lamp with that colored light and you can sit under it. Or you can ask God for the color and ask him to infuse your body with it or send it through your hands to heal someone else. You can also visualize breathing the color and it filling your nostrils and your whole entire body and thinking of it as healing the part that needs that color and healing. You can paint your room the color or wear clothing of a certain color or use linens of the certain color. We can heal ourselves just like Jesus said we could.

Even one of my favorite author's, Aldoux Huxley, wrote about colors and visions. Here is a comment about one of his books:

"Confirmation of Huxley's intentional use of color is summarized in his "Natural History of Visions," a 1959 lecture posing the question, "Why are precious stones precious?" (Human 216). These brightly colored pebbles, says Huxley, are not beautifully harmonized like a work of art or a piece of music; they are single objects which the human mind responds to in an unaccountable way. He states that one reason for our interest can be found in the Phaedo where Socrates speaks about the ideal world of which our world is in a sense a rather bad copy. Socrates says: "In this other earth the colors are much purer and more brilliant than they are down here. The mountains and stones have a richer gloss, a livelier transparency and intensity of hue" (217). Plato writes not merely about a metaphysical idea but also about another inner world which has landscape and beautiful regions of memory, fantasy, imagination, dreams, and-most remote -- "the world of visions" (218). Huxley explains the importance of light and color in this world of visions:

This experience of the pure light of the void is a visionary experience of what may be called the highest, the most mystical kind. On a rather lower level the lights seem to be broken up and become, so to speak, incorporated in different objects and persons and figures. It is as though this tremendous white light were somehow refracted through a prism and broken up into different coloured lights. In this lower form of vision we have the intensification of light in some way associated with the story-telling faculty, so that there are visions of great complexity and elaboration in which light plays a tremendous part, but it is not the pure white light of the great theophanies. (228-29)

Huxley deduces, therefore, that precious stones are precious because they are objects in the external world -- along with fire, stained glass, fireworks, pageantry, theatrical spectacle, Christmas-tree lights, rainbows, and sunlight -- which most nearly resemble the things that people see in the visionary world (232-35)"http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0403/is_n1_v41/ai_17180248.

It is true that what you are is what you eat because eating food of certain colors can actually balance your energies. This is true of the liquids you drink.

Do you think it was a coincidence that Jesus robe was purple. Read on to see the properties of that color and others a well.

Balance OF Color In The Body

RED

Power,Energy

and Vitality is the meaning of RED and is associated with MALE polarity. It is also the First Ray. Scientist did an experiment and have come to the conclusion that Women see color differently and more vibrant colors such as RED.

Used in Color Therapy RED is used to burn out cancer dry up sores that tend to drain, warm cold ares and reduce pain. It is a powerful healing agent for diseases and blood and circulation problem and helps depression.

Though it helps with depression you don't want to do this if you have High Blood Pressure or have anxiety. It can make you more so and even to the extent of aggressive behavior. If you want to draw more business into your area then have a red carpet or walls and if you sell to the public try wearing a red shirt.

The Astrological sign of Aries is RED and is the color for Mars.

Orange 

Strangely Orange is one color that isn't even mentioned in the Bible. What is said about the color could have been the reason why that color was left out or deleted from the original Biblical text.

Orange is used to increase immunity and sexual potency. This could have been the reason it might have been left out of the Bible. The elders in that time didn't want to foster anymore sexual prowess from it's followers. This is considered a sin in most religions because it signifies sin of the flesh.

Orange also promotes healing in the region of the digestive system, chest and kidney diseases. Orange has a soothing effect if used lightly. Orange, should not be used the same as for red for those who get easily agitated or have high blood pressure.

Orange is the Second Ray and is associated with the planet Mercury

YELLOW

Yellow is used for mental stimulation and depression and memory. It will help you think faster and is good for clearing the mind. To help cure dermatitis and other skin problems and again it must be used carefully because it is very stimulating and it could cause exhaustion and 

It is the color of Taurus and also the planet Mercury.

GREEN 

Green is the
most used color in the spectrum. It is used to denote new beginnings, healing and time traveling, a good one to use for balancing emotions and has a calming effect. Green is also good as a healing color because it stimulates growth in such things as broken bones and the regrowth of tissues. For family members who are ill put green in all their surroundings as it heals.

Hospitals and Clinics should use alot of this color in their decor.

BLUE

Blue is the color of electricity. We are all electricity and energy and vibration. We areGods because that is what God is. Jesus tried so many times to tell us that and no one wants to listen. They think it is too god to be true or that he was lying. They often take it out of context--well who knows what he really said because those books have been so messed up by man.

The attributes of Blue is truth, serenity and harmony.. It has a cooling effect making it a good color to use for burns of all kinds. It also is used for calming, reconstruction and protection. It helps in cool fevers, helps to stop bleeding and helps with nervous conditions. Be careful you don't use it to the extreme as it can leave you cold, depressed and sad. Jesus said everything in moderation.

On HOPI Prophecies "Blue is found in to prophecies about reality moving into higher frequency - viewed by us in linear time as the future. Midnight blue 12:00 - December 21, 2012 - Mayan Calendar - the end of Time. We have gods and goddesses returning at the end of time -

There are also the Indigo Children and Adults "Parents or caregivers often recognize indigo children when they are young. Indigo adults are sensitive, intuitive, lively, loving, intelligent, and curious. They are often driven to make a positive change in the world. Although often thought to be “different”, indigo adults and children often okay with that.who some people feel are more evolved though I seen them with many disabilities. This will cause them to heal issues and thus help others." "

So there really is a purpose for those who we think suffer. Thing is we tend to put our standards on others which doesn't always work.

INDIGO - PURPLE

The color Purple connects you with your spiritual self. Your father as in the father of Jesus. He knew where to pull information from and he told us that we can do the same--if only we would hear and understand what he is telling us in that Bible. It is good for mental and nervous problems. It will assist very well with rheumatism and epilepsy. Helps with pain, is used in deep tissue work and helps heal the bones. Too much purple and you tend to be delusional. I wonder if people who have many personalities have this instead of a real disease. Did Jesus talk to others as well and did he do it in public?

The Astrological sign of Purple is Virgo and the planet that corresponds to it is Jupiter.

Something of interest here that I also found on Crystallinks.

"Visualization in the Deep Purple Frequency

Prepare as you would for meditation. Visualize the color purple, deep, rich, flowing around you.... 

VIOLET - LAVENDER

 

Violet denotes equilibrium and it is useful forspiritual healing.and burning off lifetimes of Karma on all levels. It is also the highest color in the spectrum and is linked wit the Crown Chakra.  It is associated with the astrological sign of Leo and is the Omega--End. The purpose of this Violet Flame is to transfer negative energies onto positive ones. It also changes DNA and aids in Spiritual growth and is sometimes associated with Saint Germain..

If done properly you may snse a feeling of warmth or heat. .

The violet flame can also help you deal with emotional and psychological problems to some degree. If you believe in its power, it can help relieve stress, depression and anger.

This is not a substitute for professional help in the case of clinical depression or other mental disorders.

SILVER

If you want Peace then chose the color Silver this also goes for persistence. Silver is a good purifier and is a good choice when you want to cleanse yourself or others from diseases and is good for removing unwanted diseases from the body. It is best for use with cancer of tissue and blood.

GOLD

Gold is the strongest color and is associated and best used for all kinds of healing of the body. It is the best to use to strengthen the body and spirit. It is so strong that some people have a hard time tolerating and and have to build up a tolerance for it.

WHITE

White includes all of the colors of the light spectrum. It is the source of conscious creation and purifies the body on the highest level.. It is the highest charging field to bring peace and comfort and is used the most for protection. .

From Crystallink  Ellie has this research:

"A woman wearing a white robe denotes the love-life-death meaning such as Delphic Aphrodite of Tombs, the Scandinavian Frigg and Teutonic Hel/Freya which is the Beloved goddess of death.

In Celtic tradition the terrestrial goddess wore white.

In Alchemy white is the feminine principle as represented by the 'The White Lily'.

In the Arendian white is sacred.

To the Aztec it was the dying sun or night.

To the Buddhist tradition, white is self-mastery and redemption. It is representative of being lead from bondage - the highest spiritual transformation.

To the Chinese, white is mourning.

In Christian beliefs white is the highest color representing the purified soul, joy, virginity, integrity, light and a holy life.

White is always worn in Christian religions at the sacraments of Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage.

In Catholicism it is symbolic of the saints not suffering martyrdom and virgin saints.

Druid priests wore white. It was the color of baptism.

Greek tradition uses white for mourning, love, life...in just about all themes white is symbolic there.

In Hinduism, white is symbolic of Pure Consciousness---sattva-- upward movement, the light and manifestation.

Maori tradition holds white as meaning truce or surrendering.

To the Mayan in represented peace and health.

Roman tradition wore it for very propitious occasions "

Conclusion

Throughout the Bible there are passages and stories about the use of colors and gems and many other Astrological things associated with them. Jesus used color and he told us how and that we could do it ourselves. He told us that we Are Gods and that we can heal ourselves. Some of them are mentioned in the Bible and then some of them leave you hanging--like where is the rest of the story. No wonder the Bible is a confusing book, when Astrology and color and spiritual healing is all going on and then it is said that it is Evil. I believe God wanted those in the Bible or they wouldn't have been mentioned in the first place and it seemed pretty common place in the time of Aaron. It does seem as if the books were tampered with way before we got to these versions we use today. Somethings just don't make sense as in parts are missing of the whole story. Then when people take sentences out of context it even makes the whole thing even more confusing. They use those as a FEAR and Control tactics and I don't think God nor Jesus had that in mind. Some books are missing altogether or even banned. This is not God's book, but Gods' Books that have been tampered with by MAN.

Each person is attracted by a color that needs balancing. Colors all have a vibration frequency and a meaning to them. In light (haha a pun) of this what color are you attracted to? Do you know why?

Try this--each day wear a different color shirt or dress or top. Note to how people react to that color. What is the main response that is given or asked of you. Also do you have any reactions to the colors that you wore on those days according to the color definition above?

Results of the Drug Testing on Welfare Recipients

What 7 States Discovered After Spending More Than 1 Million Drug Testing Welfare Recipients

What 7 states discovered after spending more than $1 million drug testing welfare recipients

What a waste.

As state legislatures convene across the country, proposals keep cropping up to drug test applicants to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, or welfare. Bills have been introduced so far in Montana, Texas, and West Virginia, with a handful of others also considering such a move. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has gone further, proposing to drug test applicants for food stamps and unemployment benefits. They follow recent bills put into action in Maine, Michigan, and Mississippi.

Proponents of these bills claim they will save money by getting drug users off the dole and thus reduce spending on benefits. But states that are looking at bills of their own may want to consider the fact that the drug testing programs that are already up and running haven’t seen such results.

According to state data gathered by ThinkProgress, the seven states with existing programs — Arizona, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Utah — are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to ferret out very few drug users. The statistics show that applicants actually test positive at a lower rate than the drug use of the general population. The national drug use rate is 9.4 percent. In these states, however, the rate of positive drug tests to total welfare applicants ranges from 0.002 percent to 8.3 percent, but all except one have a rate below 1 percent. Meanwhile, they’ve collectively spent nearly $1 million on the effort, and millions more may have to be spent in coming years.

  00:30 / 00:30TOP ARTICLES1/5READ MORECNN’s planning a 2020 LGBTQ forum. Here are someissues advocates say the candidates should address.

Does Drug Testing Welfare Applicants Work?

Lawmakers who push these bills claim that they will cut down on costs by rooting out drug abusers while also helping to refer those users to treatment. But in reality, they come with few, if any, benefits.

The main impact of it is first…to spend TANF money that could go into other things,” said Elizabeth Lower-Basch, policy coordinator and director of income and work supports at CLASP, a non-profit focused on policy for low-income individuals. While many states told ThinkProgress that the funds don’t necessarily come out of the pot that would go to TANF benefits, it’s still money that could go elsewhere. “The money could certainly be spent on other things if it wasn’t going to drug testing,” she said. “Even if it’s a state where it can’t go to into childcare or cash assistance, it probably comes out of their administration pot, so that’s caseworkers and things like that.”

The other impact is increasing stigma around both welfare and drug use. It can increase the shame people feel around applying for welfare benefits in the first place, which could drive them away from getting assistance they may need to get by. At the same time, it may make drug users less willing to disclose and therefore keep them from connecting with treatment, according to Lower-Basch. “If people are afraid they’ll lose their benefits if they admit to using drugs, it makes it hard for them to say, ‘Hey, actually I have this issue,’” she explained. A study of Florida’s program, which has since been struck down by the courts, found that it didn’t produce any reliable estimates of drug use among welfare recipients.

Even if the policies did unearth drug users in need of help, however, that doesn’t mean states are going to get it to them. Many “don’t guarantee your slot [in treatment facilities] or in some cases pay for it,” she noted. Centers often have long waiting lists, so someone who gets referred may not even be able to get in. Some states used to use TANF money to expand access to drug treatment, but as the money allocated to the program has dropped in real value, those efforts have dried up.

There is one way Lower-Basch thinks drug testing welfare recipients used to be helpful: not to determine eligibility for benefits, but to help them get work. “It was part of the work assessment,” she explained, “what are your barriers to work, what do you need in order to get a job.” If it was a barrier to employment, states could try to help them get what they needed to overcome it.

The High Costs And Few Rewards In Each State

The drug-testing regimes in the seven states all differ slightly, but the lack of effectiveness is widespread.

In 2011, Missouri adopted a law to require screening and testing for all TANF applicants, and the testing began in March 2013. In 2014, 446 of the state’s 38,970 applicants were tested. Just 48 tested positive.

I somehow knew that they would be wasting money on this. All that money could have fed more people and got more jobs and housing for them...training too. Way back I was on welfare and I went through a displaced homemakers program and got an education that I could use. They need a whole lot more of those then drug testing. Give the people hope and encouragement.

Now there are some people that claim that anyone can pass a urine test, but I pointed out to the that that would be a whole lot of people that would do that to make these astounding number incorrect.  I asked her if she read the whole document and she said that she just skimmed it.  Here is where the problem lies with the people.....They all pre-judge everyone for the actions of a few and think that everyone therefore is a drug user when they asking and trying to get on the Welfare System.

By my experience, and it was a very good one at that, once you get on Welfare it is hard to get off of it.  They do help you in so many ways, but it's like weaning a baby off a bottle.  If you have never gone through such a program then you will never realize the good that it is.  Yes, there are those the mis-use the system.  There was a system in place before the government got involved and made this Welfare System.  I did write a blog about that.  They had what was called "poor houses". (link at end of this blog so you can red about this one in my area) They weren't what you think of either.  Your first reaction would probably be that these people were so poor that they were dirty and couldn't dress properly and had some missing teeth and couldn't speak correctly.....right?  Well you are so far off and this is what most people think of.....just the same as the Homeless.  You think they are all drug addicts or alcoholic.........so far off on that one too.  I am not sure where all this negativity comes from, but my aim here is to educate you to the truth of the matter.

In this article that I posted at the top of this blog, if you actually go to it and read the whole thing, thy have all the states that did these testings.  There are charts about the finding and there is known how much money was involved in this venture of the government.  They are startling find and they are not what you would have thought coming out of this that most people wanted proof of.  This study found just the opposite and I, for one, am glad....being as I was one such Welfare Recipient myself years ago.  I worked hard to get off of that system. I wanted and needed the help that the system provided.  I didn't want to live on the street or take hand-outs.  Believe me that there are circumstances that never enter your mind when you do get to this low in your life.  I never though that I would have to go to this level in my life.  It wasn't even a part of my life or mindset and I certainly was not dirty or did drugs. I am not talking just of myself here.  There are many who have come to find out just what it is to have to get into the welfare system.  Nobody wants to go there, believe me.  It is because of all the shaming and pre-judging that those who think they are better than anyone else does.  It is not fun and it hurts.  These kinds of people have found themselves in some  they that they never ever thought that they would be in.  Instead of shaming and calling names and assuming they are only there to get on drug, let me remind you that the coffee or tea or sports drink that most of you drink in the morning is also a drug.  Yes, Caffeine is a drug and is addicting and it is legal.  Sugar is a drug too.  It is also addicting and is also just as hard to get off of then cocaine.  Think about that one for a change.

The first step to getting information and help is to go to the DHHR.  What is DHHR?

DHHR stands for the Department of Health and Human Services. Here is the link for the WV DHHR List of Programs they provide:  DHHR West Virginia

Just in case you don't want to visit the site I will list some of those programs for you.  I know most of you will not do your research because you want to stay in your pre-conceived notions.

Division of STD, HIV, Hepatitis

HOTLINE: 800-642-8244

AIDS Prevention provides HIV/AIDS prevention through health education and training, risk reduction promotion, and resource distribution to service providers and people at risk. This is accomplished through technical assistance consultation, conferences and workshops, media campaigns, community-based organizations and community planning groups, youth peer education, HIV counseling and testing at AIDS Prevention Centers, and a statewide AIDS hotline.

Abnormal blood pressure
Diagnosed hypertension
High total cholesterol
Abnormal glucose
Diagnosis of diabetes
Tobacco use
Body Mass Index  

You can also report welfare fraud, crimes child abuse and more on the programs and online pages on the same site linked above.

There are many Drug rehab programs, through DHHR that do help those who have a drug or alcohol problem.  There were 70 listed, but this is only one of them. They help the individual with all their needs and here are some places to look.  They are not freeby programs.

Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities

These programs really focus on the individual's situation and circumstances. The assess your situation and then they point you in the direction that is going to help you out of your present situation.  That may take a few months to a few years.  It is something that you have to want to do.  Then again if you are going there in the first place it is something that you want to do. 

Some recipients have been beaten or battered wives.  Are you going to sit in judgment for all those who have had enough and want help to get better just because the first thing that pops into your mind is that they are drug addicts? Oh yeah, I can see it now......every person who finds themselves in a domestic relationship that has gone wrong somehow deserves what they get.....and least we forget, they are druggies too and deserve to be pre-judged as so.  Come On!!!!!  WAKE UP! Stop your fear and actually help someone.  That old adage of not "Don't Get Involved"  Why is it that nobody wants to help others and then expects others to help them when they are on their lowest point?  It makes no sense. The numbers of people who don't ask for help because they feel ashamed and are put in that black box, are the ones that really get hurt by our very own society and people who think and demean others because of what they think and don't have the facts.  That is very sad. Nobody knows just what it is like to be in those kinds of situations.  For Goodness Sake, have more compassion and do your homework about the situation before telling others that they are all drug addicts and want to just use the system for their addiction.

If you do have a drug problem, find out why and how they got to that point.  There is always a start to a problem.  Look in your phone book and call the DHHR yourself and get educated as to what kinds of programs that they offer. Find out other ways to help and encourage these that have had to come to this program and want and need help.  

Be proactive, Not Reactive and don't judge for something that you have no idea what you are talking about. You make it worse, not better. Stop the shaming and blaming.

Spread Truth NOT mis-information, PLEASE!

How-To Decorate Rentals Without Marring the Walls

Do You Live in an Apartment or Rent and want to change your room decor but can't paint or hang anything? 

Here is one method to do that and not mar the walls.

This is a method that I came up with for a friend that has an apartment and wanted to have the walls a different color. Most apartment owners will not allow you to paint the walls or hang anything on the walls. I gave my friend this idea...Measure the wall of the room in which you want to paint. I gave my friend a suggestion to only go halfway up the wall--like wainscoting does.

Measure the wall of the room in which you want to paint. I gave my friend a suggestion to only go halfway up the wall--like wainscoting is.

Get some 1x2's or furring strips. Make two sides-- the sides of the walls in the height that you want the wall to go up to. Then cut or place the bottom and top furring strips so that the sides fit snug against the sides of the wall. This way you will not have to use any screws or anything to attach to the walls and no holes in the wall. This can all be taken down when you move or would like to change the color or pattern. Use "L" brackets on all sides to stabilize the corners and make it square.

Go to the store and get a sheet set that you like that would look nice on your walls. Be creative and not only see the sheet for beds. Visualize what it would look like on your walls.

Other Suggestions:

Get white or off white sheets and make them like your canvas. You can paint scenery on them or anything that you wish.

 Use the fitted sheet for another wall or cut smaller for accents like in a picture frame. You can decoupage the material on things as accent pieces. The pillow cases can be used for window treatments, or they can be wrapped around accent pillows on your couch. Use your imagination.

That's all it is in getting the look that you want and not bothering anyone in messing up their walls.

You CAN have it the way that you want.  It's up to you and your imagination.
