Some pay heed to all precautionary rules and
regulations—holding fast to the safety of concreteness to which they
cling. Gripped as they are in fear of
impending chaos, so they are of uncertainty and flow, aligning with authority’s
guidelines used to assert control over the masses. They join in with the policing of not only
themselves, but everyone in their inner circles and outer-reaching circles with
aplomb. And with this certainty, assert
their intellect and daily energies to ensure the captivity of everyone and
everything within their own vulnerable sense of life.
Yellow corresponds with earth in ancient Chinese, generating
Yin and Yang, as it was revered as the center of everything. It represented freedom from worldly cares,
therefore, was esteemed by Buddhist traditions as it signified the Middle Path,
that is, the absence of form and emptiness. The Imperial Chinese decorated
their royal palaces yellow, exalting their power, reverence and authority, symbolically.
Eastern cultures revere yellow as a symbol of heroism, yet
in America, it is the colour of
cowardice and caution.
The culture into which we are born is not necessarily the
culture we must embrace for the wisdom of our inner light. Living with love, without precaution, fear,
or need to control either other elements in our world or ourselves, we can find alignment regardless of our cultural
origins. This brightness reflects our
ability to shine, connecting with our God /Goddess is within.
Yellow can be whatever we choose, if we understand we have
choice. And with that choice, we live a
life of freedom.
