About this video

<p>Join Rey for an exploration of the three modes of human perception and the meaning embedded in color through the lens of Goethean Color Theory.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In most, if not all esoteric traditions, humans are said to possess three soul qualities that are associated with different parts of the body. These qualities are <em>thinking</em> which resides in the head, <em>feeling</em> that resides in the heart, and <em>willing</em> which resides in the lower abdomen.</p><p><br></p><p>In one sense, Yoga can be understood as the means by which humans bring their thoughts, feelings, and instincts/actions into harmony with each other thus making themselves a <em>unity</em>.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Of these three forces, the will, or the force that compels the physical body to act, is said to be the most mysterious and powerful. For example, if you experience a certain degree of hunger, your instincts abruptly take over your thinking and bring turbulence to your emotions. Since one can't effortlessly concentrate (aka meditate) if the instinctual impulses aren't quieted, pacifying and cultivating the will is a necessary early step on the path of Self development. This is why the Yamas and the Niyamas, which pertain to external and internal moral conduct, are the first two limbs of the Eight Limbs of Yoga. This is a big subject that can be meditated on for a lifetime.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>The last thing I'll say about it in this video description is that the will also has a threefold aspect within itself. This threefoldness is reflected by the lower three chakras which are gradients of red. The upper three chakras are gradients of blue and represent the transformation of thinking into <em>Imagination</em>, feeling into <em>Inspiration</em>, and willing into <em>Intuition</em>. In this video we'll meditate on the polarity of red and blue and the meaning embedded in color.</p>
