ORANGE

ORANGE is about Dependency/Co-dependency/Independence. Shock and trauma. Deep insight, joy and ecstasy. The physicality of the red combined with the self-knowledge of yellow.

OVERVIEW
ORANGE is Harmony. Beauty. Sexuality. Art. Creativity. Renunciation/Divinity (the robes of Buddhist monks). Dedication and devotion to a higher ideal. As we look beyond the material level, we start questioning and aspiring to higher levels than the material & physical. Trust. Acceptance. Bonding - expanding awareness to include others. ORANGE calls in our whole relationship to all life - this is the place we work it out.

ORANGE ISSUES
ORANGE asks the question: "Where and how do I fit in to the whole human context?" The consciousness has either yet to be transformed and you are refusing to look at it, or you have already transmuted it.

SPIRITUAL
From the yellow component comes Insight and self-knowledge - mindfulness. In the ORANGE component, one finds devotion, and the willingness to belong to a team effort. Gregariousness in spirit, expressing as group consciousness and an awareness of other peoples needs. Bliss. The social color. Connects us to our etheric body. Relates to relationships of any kind.
