Hell isn't just a state of mind, folks, it's a color! So, don't be afraid of a color, however...if you don't read anything else on this site, please read this.
The rainbow, is an interesting symbol. In old Germany, the Gauls referred to the rainbow as "the bridge to heaven". Certainly some people viewed the bow itself as somewhat of a bridge. And yet, the colors of the rainbow are more of a bridge between the worlds than the bow itself. The legends of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, actually refer to the ancient magick of the alchemy of color.
People can change the color of their aura (see Al Manning's "A New Light of Help for You") and even to a small extent the etheric color of their world. Most are not aware of this control and so the slide towards red continues. There is less chance when one lives in the red energy (and even worse infrared) to realize ones connection to God/Goddess then in any of the other colors. Especially the muddy red color that most people live in.
Eample of Muddy Red Aura 
Much of this comes from drinking water that passes through iron pipes. The magnetic properties of the iron pipes get into the drinking water, removing the water's natural magnetism and coloring it etherically a muddy red. Iron carries the vibration of Mars which is good when it is in balance. Unfortunately, we wash our walls, our dishes, our cars, water our lawns, bathe and drink tap water. All of this adds to the muddy-rusty color everywhere tap water has been (even if you aren't using an iron well).
Water is not the only problem. Cooking food in a microwave turns the food etherically red . The pituitary gland, sometimes called the master gland of the body, is situated above the hard palate in the throat (Harold says you can demonstrate this to your self by drinking too much cold liquid too fast and notice that a headache occurs at the third eye associated with the pituitary). The pituitary's job is believed to be to manifest or embody what we eat and drink as cued by its etheric color. All of this red energy becomes more and more embodied within us.
Watching TV or looking at a monitor (even if it is in living color) projects red etherically. If we know about the aura (which forms a protective etheric shield around the body), we realize that things that enter the aura many times work their way towards the body and lodge in the body causing disease. All of this red energy accelerates this process dramatically. So many things in modern life accelerate this shift that we are virtually trapped into a sea of red energy. This causes nervousness, damage to the eyes, the brain, the whole body. Sometimes small amounts of red would help certain conditions. Large amounts of red upset the harmonium.
About 20 years ago the master diviner Cliff Stumbaugh, explained to me that infrared and red energies were "hell" in that no God/dess realization could occur in the red spectrum. Jessa O'My Heart agrees. And thus we slide further from God/Goddess and nearer and nearer to hell.
An interesting example of this change is shown by our attitudes to sex. In red energy sex is a survival issue. It is a must have. In higher colors it is a sharing experience. And is a possibility. The difference between TV shows now and TV shows 40 years ago is striking. Many more survival and sex issues are covered now than in Ozzy and Harriet's time. In red energy, everything becomes a survival issue. A "must have" or we feel threatened. Many more people today view material goods as "must have"s as if they were air and water. They react to someone taking away or denying them material goods like it was a survival issue rather than an issue of convenience.
What is the answer? Well, if the question is "How do we get out of this muddy red energy?", then we first have to recognize that the situation exists. Second, we have to systematically raise our vibrations. It's hard.
This is hard to do without help. We are committed to offering several different kinds of help through this site.
In the past people used herbs, gemstones, symbols, magick, alchemy, religion and other things to change or raise the aura vibrations. See our definition section. Or order our kits or products.
