COLOR - Not Just Another...

COLOR - Not Just Another Pretty Face by Joy DiMenna

In reflection on the mission of my soul to express the deep purpose of Color, I find myself thinking about the captivating beauty of the rainbow   What comes next to my mind is a stereotypical image of a stunning woman in the workplace.  You know this woman…she has an amazingly beautiful face and a body that won’t quit.  She is highly intelligent, adept, capable and a blonde!  Her physical beauty is appreciated, admired and ogled about, yet her intelligence ignored.  She feels frustration with people who struggle to get past her beauty and take her seriously. 
   In this example, the underlying mindset is that intelligent information couldn’t possibly come from such a pretty package.  This “pretty package syndrome” is a similar dilemma for Color.  How can we shift the perception of other people?  How can the beautiful woman capture attention with the substance from her mind and heart and ... claim her power? 
   As Color’s Emissary, a vital part of my job and mission is to effectively help lift awareness of the importance and deeper meaning of Color. The face of Color is so alluring, magnificently beautiful and often given little to no recognition for what it does.  
   We could say that Color is like a beautiful, drop dead gorgeous blonde! 
How could we deny how we feel when graced with a small glimpse of a rainbow?  Rainbows are mesmerizing and magical.  Rainbows are ... well ...  rainbows!  They are in children’s books, in children’s happy drawings.  They are in photographs, movies and mentioned in songs.  They are beautiful to look at and connect us to pleasant feelings. You can find a pot of gold at the end of one!    
   But why do rainbows make us feel good?  Why are we emotionally moved when we see a rainbow?  What is so uplifting about rainbows?

   What if I told you that the essence from the Light of Creation is captured in the collective memory of humanity from the beginning of time and exists in continuum within Color? 

   What if I told you you that the spectrum of Color holds the secrets to our origins, that it differentiates information and holds the recorded memories of our souls’ existence? 

   What if I told you Color is what connects us to the Divine? And ... this connection runs on automatic pilot! 

No need to worry about being connected or reconnecting or understanding the system; whether or not we are consciously aware, Color is feeding us vital information aligned within our soul at every moment! Try this…as prescription to RELAX into your life and stop worrying: 
•    Just BE and receive the grace of Color. 
•    Just breathe and with every pulse of your heart.
•    Allow the Colors of the rainbow to connect with your soul. 
•    Trust your Soul to know best. 
•    Let the Colors that resonate with you fill you up.
   Perhaps the reason rainbows make us feel good is that the colors resonate deep within us, deep inside that magical place where the divine mystery of our life and purpose is revealed.
   How do I know these things?  Much of my knowledge comes through my clients’ extraordinary emotional experiences that connect them deeply to their soul through the “Chordance Portraits” they commission me to paint.  These portraits are color images of individual “Inner Spectrums” (these images contain a colored expression of what their soul has committed to experience in this life). Something happens when my clients see these paintings… they feel loved, protected, guided, encouraged and acknowledged.  Client feedback has been a powerful confirmation from the Divine Realm of Color.
   My clients also begin to relate to Color in new ways, such as:
•    feeling the energy from Color in the heart
•    seeing the energy of Color in music
•    becoming aware of how subtle differences in Color effects them and which Colors they are drawn to
•    being energized, more confident and relaxed about their lives.
   So yes, Colors are dazzling, just like the blonde. Look deeper and you will see much more is happening!

Are colors beautiful? Yes.
Is the blonde woman beautiful? Yes.
Does the beautiful woman have intelligence and purpose? Yes.
And color also has beauty, intelligence and purpose.

   Past and current research and studies on color are fascinating, even astounding.
   In a very short time, I am confident that evidence of Color’s intelligence and how it affects us emotionally/mentally along with knowledge of the language Color communicates to us will be documented in laboratories around the globe.  Science, mysticism, spirituality are merging as man explores the nature of human consciousness, the mind, the heart, the body, and the ultimate questions about life.
   That pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? A very fitting colloquial expression! 
   For the rainbow indeed holds the golden memory of the Light of Creation, the power, the source, the loving truth ... behind all of life. Consider seriously contemplating the beauty of the rainbow.  Look deeper and with respect for the multiple dimensions of this spectral beauty.
   And you thought that the rainbow was just another pretty face!
