Guest guest Posted October 24, 1999 Report Share Posted October 24, 1999 Hello all, I'm Jim, I've posted once or twice over the last several months, but mostly I lurk. Usually, when I have a question on my mind, I only have to pay attention to the posts and my answers appear before me like magic, for which I am gratefull to you all. Today however, I will post my question. What is the relationship between the color Blue and Sexuality? Somewhere in the back of my mind I feel a vauge memory that there is a connection, something I read I'm sure. On one occasion, during intercourse, everything turned blue, my partner, the room, the very air seemed to become a sky blue, for an instant, then it was gone. Anybody know what that was? curiouser and curiouser, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 1999 Report Share Posted October 24, 1999 Jim My instinctive response to the link between blue and sexuality, is that blue is the colour of water and sexuality is of course linked to the flow of bodily fluids. Water is also symbolic of the psyche, of "plunging in" and that is something that sexual intimacy does - it allows us to plunge the depths of our psyche. The traditional colours associated with Swadhisthana chakra (the sexual chakra, located in the pelvic region) are either orange, or in the Tantric scheme a silver crescent moon. Blue is often associated with Vishuddhi chakra (throat), or in Tantra the heart centre (Anahata) is a six-pointed blue star - which would also fit in with your experience of blue while making love.

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

OM Shanti Michele Jim: Thank you Michele for your thoughtfull response, it's begining to make sense to me now. It occured at a transitional point in my life, when I was making a lot of new connections between my heart and my words. It's fascinating to think that we're unconciously hard wired with this sort of symolism, what is it? Where does it come from? Is it built on the endless stream of data flowing out of our surroundings and into our heads only? or is there more to it than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Jung became fascinated by the very question you ask. In analyzing over 80,000 dreams of the many patients he saw in his career, symbols would occur such as mandalas, or the same ones used in alchemical writings, or in ancient cultures. Mostly these patients had no direct knowledge of their previous use in other contexts. Jung proposed the collective unconscious to account for this shared awareness, and recurring symbols of mankind. Buddhists speak of the "storehouse" of consciousness containing seeds which the right conditions bring into being. Its a fascinating question to explore.
