<nowiki>*</nowiki> One may see at a glance how reversed are the colours of the Tattvas, reflected in the Astral Light, when we find the Indigo called black; the green blue; the violet, white; and the orange yellow. | |||
† The colours, I repeat, do not here follow the prismatic scale – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet – because this scale is a false reflection, a true Mâyâ; whereas our esoteric scale is that of the spiritual spheres, the seven planes of the Macrocosm. | |||
