is manifested by an ugly, dull, muddy crimson of a
repulsive appearance, suggesting blood mixed with dirty earth or
barnyard soil.

A peculiar series of red shades are those manifesting anger in its
various forms, from the vivid scarlet flashes of anger color, arising
from what may be called "righteous indignation," down the scale to the
ugly flashes of deep, dull red, betokening rage and uncontrolled
passion. The red of anger generally shows itself in flashes, or great
leaping flames, often accompanied by a black background, in the case of
malicious hate, or by a dirty, greenish background when the rage arises
from jealousy, or envy. The color of avarice is a very ugly combination
of dull, dark red, and a dirty ugly green. If persons could see their
own astral colors accompanying these undesirable mental states, the
sight would perhaps so disgust them with such states as to work a cure.
At any rate, they are most disgusting and repulsive to the occultist who
beholds them in the human aura, and he often wonders why they do not
sicken the person manifesting them--they often do just this thing, to
tell the truth.

THE YELLOW GROUP. In this group of astral colors seen in the human aura
we find as many varieties as we do in the red group. Yellow, denoting
intellect, has many degrees of shade and tint, and many degrees of
clearness.

An interesting shade in this group is that of Orange, which represents
different forms of "pride of intellect," intellectual ambition, love of
mastery by will, etc. The greater degree of red in the astral orange
color, the greater the connection with the physical or animal nature.
Pride and love of power over others, has much red in its astral color,
while love of intellectual mastery has much less red in its composition.

Pure intellectual attainment, and the love of the same, is manifested by
a beautiful clear golden yellow. Great teachers often have this so
strongly in evidence, that at times their students have glimpses of a
golden "halo" around the head of the teacher. Teachers of great
spirituality have this "nimbus" of golden yellow, with a border of
beautiful blue tint, strongly in evidence.

The paintings of the great spiritual teachers of the race usually have
this radiance pictured as a "halo," showing a recognition of the
phenomenon on the part of the great artists. Hoffman's celebrated
painting of the Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane shows this nimbus so
accurately depicted
