The color on an object is a corpse, and corpses have reality. The color as an archetype in the cosmos is an archetype in the cosmos, and that has its reality. An archetypal color is not diminished when an object that has the corpse of that color is no longer present. I may have something that is a kind of turquoise derivative. I can look at the pigments that make up this color, and they are real as long as color on that object is present; but that color is not archetypal but transient. Goethe says, 'Everything transient is only a parable.' Everything that can change or is transient is merely a parable of something permanent. The archetype is what endures. -- Dennis Klocek

The subject of color is a very important aspect of life and healing, especially healing what we could call the split in the world created by ordinary dualistic human perception. Rudolf Steiner speaks about this split in various different ways with a kind of hidden language, making it sometimes difficult to understand the fundamental idea. In this book, Dennis Klocek presents a kind of meditation on many different aspects of color and how we can work with the alchemical principles of Jachin and Boaz―the two pillars of Solomon's Temple, representing the red and blue in the blood―to understand the Rosicrucian path in terms of color and healing.
