that the occultist is convinced that this artist
must have actually witnessed a similar scene in the astral light, so
true to the astral facts are its details. The images of the Buddha also
show this radiance.

The rich golden shades of intellectual yellow are comparatively rare, a
sickly lemon color being the only indication of intellectual power and
found in the aura of the great run of persons. To the sight of the
occultist, employing his power of astral vision, a crowd of persons will
manifest here and there, at widely separated points, the bright golden
yellow of the true intellect, appearing like scattered lighted candles
among a multitude of faintly burning matches.

THE GREEN GROUP. This is a peculiar group, consisting as of course it
does of various combinations of blues and yellows, tinted and shaded by
white or black. Even skilled occultists find it very difficult to
account for the fact of certain green shades arising from the spiritual
blue and the intellectual yellow--this is one of the most obscure points
in the whole subject of the astral colors, and none but the most
advanced occultists are able to explain the "why" in some instances. To
those who are fond of analysis of this kind, I will drop the following
hint, which may help them out in the matter, viz. The key is found in
the fact that Green lies in the centre of the astral spectrum, and is a
balance between the two extremes, and is also influenced by these two
extremes in a startling manner.

A certain restful green denotes love of nature, out of door life, travel
in the country, etc., and also, slightly differing in tint, the love of
home scenes, etc. Again, a clear beautiful lighter tint of green
indicates what may be called sympathy, altruistic emotion, charity, etc.
Again, illustrating variety in this group of astral colors, another
shade of green shows intellectual tolerance of the views of others.
Growing duller, this indicates tact, diplomacy, ability to handle human
nature, and descending another degree or so blends into insincerity,
shiftiness, untruth, etc. There is an ugly slate-colored green
indicating low, tricky deceit--this is a very common shade in the colors
of the average aura, I am sorry to say. Finally, a particularly ugly,
muddy, murky green indicates jealousy and kindred feelings, envious
malice, etc.

THE BLUE GROUP. This interesting group of astral colors represents the
varying forms and degrees of religious emotion, "s
