Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Namaste I know that yogis wear white because white "is the color" of the the sahasrara and white light contains all of the other colors within it. However, I thought that black also contains all of the colors within it. Therefore, I am confused as to the difference between the two. Does anyone know how it is possible for two different colors to both contain all of the colors. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Yogi Bhajan said to wear white cotton because it enhances the magnetic field. White is the total of all light frequencies each of which have a different color. Black is the absence of light, absence of colors in that sense. But it is the total of all paint colors. A paint color actually reflects the light frequency of that color. Mixing two different paint colors does not create a paint color that reflects the light frequency of both colors. It works negatively until you mix enough colors that no more light frequency is reflected and the result is black. Blessings, Awtar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hello, Actually, technically, whereas white (in terms of natural light) is a combination of all the colours of the rainbow, black, technically, is the absence of colour. Black, therefore, actually, is not a colour...it is the absence of colour. Khush Namaste I know that yogis wear white because white "is the color" of the the sahasrara and white light contains all of the other colors within it. However, I thought that black also contains all of the colors within it. Therefore, I am confused as to the difference between the two. Does anyone know how it is possible for two different colors to both contain all of the colors. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Looking back in the recesses of forgotten material, I hope I get this right. I believe you are thinking of 2 different "competing processes of color. In physics, white LIGHT contains all the different colors. Newton showed it did when he put a prism in sunlight and the prism divided the light into different colors according to their wavelength. An absence of light or color is black. White contains all the colors. This is the same principle as a TV would use to make colors. We use the same colors as on a printer - magenta, cyan and yellow. We get color on a TV by starting with black and adding colors. It is just the opposite in art. The colors on paper or any other substance are REFLECTED light and not the light source. We get colors by adding the primary colors. If we mix magenta, cyan and yellow paint the light rays become absorbed in the paint and we see the reflected light rays. If we mix the 3 primary colors together, all the light rays will be absorbed in the paint and since all are absorbed, we see black.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 White has every color of light spectrum in it. Black has every color of pigment in it.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Black eats light to reprocess it into energy [black holes, black body]. White reflects or filters light, it does not change its physical properties. Happy winter solstice, Nabil Rizqallah Beirut Lebanon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I should add that when we see pictures, the colors in the pictures absorb certain light rays so we actually see the light rays that are not absorbed by the image and are reflected off the image. Thus when we see a black image, it means that virtually all the light waves are absorbed by the image and we see an absence of light so virtually no light is reflected back.
