I picked up this book from one of my Used Bookstore visits. The forward by Walter Russell (an impressionist American painter of the early 19th century New Thought Movement) piqued my interest as well as the last chapter, ‘A Journey Through the Rainbow’.
Karagere has a brilliant and lucid manner to convey subtle truths. Her word choice reflects a refined mind, forged from experience that supports wisdom and depth. The material and Karagere’s ideas are spaced out through the book as if we are peering into a conscious pool or as if I jumped into a lake of her thoughts; as deep and it is clear. It did take an adjustment though for me to string the truths together so I could assimilate the material.
The author presents some very interesting perspectives on color, such as the four groups of colors based on the time of the day; sunrise, noon, sunset, and moonlight. I found that her presentation of the subject, light being the basis of all things and color, a means to interpret its messages, to be true and accurate.
The most interesting part was Karagere’s emphasis on the relationship between thoughts and color. She does provide much detail on the subject. Her crystal clear message struck a chord within me, resonating with knowledge I have gleaned from other books on the subject of metaphysical science; particularly, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles.
At some point in her life, through her exploration of color and its connection to the mechanisms of the subtle universe, I believe she made contact with conscious beings on Inner Planes. These beings were able to enlighten Kargere to the mysteries of the universe and how color plays its role as a way for the Divine to communicate to humanity. Although I believe her experience to be valid and beneficial for her, it was difficult for me to comprehend what she attempted to convey; possibly this message was meant specifically for her. Possibly this message wasn’t meant for me. The experience takes up about half the book. I did not find this section particularly helpful in my understanding of color or personality; although there were some interesting points she presented regarding the nature of the conscious universe.
If you are looking for a book to expand your awareness of the nature of color and light, I recommend this book to you. If you want a primer on the practical application of color personality analysis techniques, you may be left feeling a little lost. Do not disregard this book though, if you are a serious student of the subject. A deep understanding and a solid foundation are precursors to wisdom.
