When you see before you a vast expanse opening out toward the distance, there is clear air above you and you see on the far horizon colors such as green, red, yellow, and blue, know that you are going to pass through that air to where those colors are. The colors pertain to spiritual states. Green is the sign of life of the heart (this being the highest state). The color of pure fire indicates the life of ‘spiritual concentration’ (himma), which denotes power (of actualization). If this fire be dark, that betokens the fire of exertion and shows the seeker to be weary and afflicted after the battle with the lower ego and the Devil. Blue is the color of the life of the ego. Yellow is the color of lassitude. All these are supra-sensory realities that speak with him who experiences them in the two languages of inner tasting (dhawq) and visionary apperception. These are two reliable, mutual corroboratory witnesses: what you behold with inner vision you also experience within yourself, and what you experience inwardly you also behold with inner vision.5
