The Violet Consciousness ~
The Violet Consciousness is the art of becoming spiritually and emotionally attuned to "purple"..This is not meant, nor should be taken in the literal sense, but instead, understood as a state of spiritual and humanistic awareness.. The individual fully understands and incorporates a violet consciousness, so that it permeates them wholly, and radiates from their psyche..Stimuli in the form of mood enhancers, such as the arts, music, and color, can be used to promote an ideal of being aware of one's humanness..If being human could be defined in terms of color, pulsating violet would represent many of us, most especially those who are real vampires, and those who are open and/or sensitive to the workings of energies..Understanding how energy works, how it flows, and how it can effect us and on so many various levels of consciousness..Pulsating violet is the color of the beating Universal heart, that pumps the lifeblood, that comprises the Violet Consciousness..
Purple, as understood by many, has come to be a significantly peaceful color..For example, Gay Pride makes use of it to symbolize their uniqueness, and right to love same - sex gender..But more than this, it exudes peace, and wholeness..Purple is vibrant, and life-giving..It is multi - faceted, and multi - dimensional..In this sense, dimensionality is a function of consciousness..It can be applied and made use of for many things, but most especially in the spiritual, the ethereal, the aesthetic, and the emotional..Emotions are a very important aspect to this consciousness, and is the color that radiates from natural empaths..Emotions are the literal life (CHI) and soul (PSI)..
For many people, the color purple is imbued with the need and desire to be loved..In the words of a fellow colleague of mine, he stated that many people, for whatever reasons, have literally had all emotions bleached out of them, leaving their entire world flat, grey, colorless, and with no real depth..It is rather like having stood far too long in the sun, so that all emotional beauty has been bleached from your very soul, leaving you without psi..Many people, through no fault of their own, have lost the ability to feel such depth of emotion, yet we are still capable of rediscovering this lost part of ourselves..And when you do find it again, nothing beats it, nothing..It is the force that will drive you..You will experience a depth of soul that you never knew was humanly possible, and the purple will radiate from your being..It is the starting and ending place of pure innocent love..
Emotions are a divine gift. They are what set us apart from other living beings. Statistics show that when young children, most especially teenaged children, are not given enough love and support, stress impacts their lives greater than those who come from a loving, nurturing home. It negatively impacts self-esteem, and contributes largely towards antisocial and destructive behaviour. With entire generations displaying antisocial behaviour, whether in the genes or otherwise, knowing how a lack of emotion can affect us, why then would we choose to remain closed off? Have we really forgotten how to care for each other? Society has dictated to the masses, that showing or displaying any kind of emotion is not wholly acceptable. We are taught from a young age, boys especially, that to cry, show fear, or display outward affection makes you less of a man - men simply don't do things like that! It is seen as 'weak and womanly' to show such a range of emotions. Tears are womanish! You have no inner strength if you let people see you cry. And of course, losing your temper means you have no self control.
According to Carol Gilligan, 'In A Different Voice', 1982, page 17 she states that "The discovery now being celebrated by men in mid-life of the importance of intimacy, relationships, and care is something that women have known from the beginning. However, because that knowledge in women has been considered "intuitive" or "instinctive", a function of anatomy coupled with destiny, psychologists have neglected to describe its development". Many people, through their own life issues, have chosen to block out feeling or displaying any kind of positive emotion, thinking that by doing this, they will further the pain. And rather like the Descent Of Inanna , choose to remain a prisoner of their pain. Within this story is the key to finding the way out of inner depths of despair, and learning again how to embrace the violet consciousness.
How do we get back to this very vital lost part of ourselves? The key here is to learn and understand that everyone needs to be loved and cared for. Knowing this is the first step. Secondly, knowing that YOU are a being with similar needs, begin by reaching out to people, and communicating with them. Let empathy be your guide. Don't be afraid to touch. Touch is one main way that empathic vampires tend to grab energy. When someone is upset, comfort them. Take their hand, or hold them gently and allow them to express their pain. Pain is a heavy burden. Many don't realize just how heavy it really is. It is the precursor to stress, which is the precursor to disease. Allow yourself to experience their pain. Allow this energy to flow unchecked between you. Help to remove the burden, or at least lighten the load. Later, you can transmute it, and put it to use. But for now, learn also to share yours, as others share theirs with you.
Replace the void with purple energy. Fill all the empty spaces with it. Imagine a sense of warmth surrounding you. See it as a vibrant, pulsating, shimmering energy. Consider this to be the equivalent of a blood transfusion, and no less important and life-giving. Allow a sense of peace and harmony to permeate your being, and the energy surrounding you, and radiating from you. With each inhalation, breathe the violet. As you exhale, see and feel this energy flowing from your hands. Feel free to cycle this energy with others, so that the violet consciousness becomes part of the ambient energy stew that is all around us. Making use of this as a meditation strengthens the consciousness. Allow it to imbue your being, and to surround you, much like a warm,comfortable blanket. Now you have found the path to the violet consciousness, may you always walk down it..
