    Dear everybody!

    Do all of you realize how "lucky" you are? From the few intros I read, it
    seems to me, that I am one of the oldest, if not *the* oldest subscriber.
    Most of you seem to be between 20 and 40 years old, and you are already on
    The Path! I sure wished I would have been ready at that age also. But then
    again, the age in *this* lifetime is really rather irrelevant.

    Now here is my first problem, for which I'd hope to get some answers from the
    group.
    I understand, that colors and their use and the understanding there of are an
    important part of understanding Hermetism and the Kabbalah.
    I'm a very visual person and it's easy for me to picture any color anywhere.
    However, I can't get it straight where on a human body which color is
    supposed to be.

    On that first Tarot card, the head of the woman is red, the head of the man
    is blue, their genitals are the opposite. Now for that picture, red stands
    for electric, blue for magnetic. Above the magician, out of the lotus are
    coming forth the four elements, shown in the colors yellow for earth,
    greenish for water, red for fire and blue for air.

    Then on page 33 of the IIH Barton divides the body into 3 fundamental
    concepts: head to fire, abdomen to water, chest to air. Makes a lot of
    sense, of course, except that now every human's head would be colored red and
    the abdomen green.

    Now on page 38 the occult anatomy of the body is described: Front and left
    side of head = electric, therefor red, back and right side = magnetic,
    therefor blue. The ears fit on "correctly", but now the heads are all two
    colored.
    The same with other parts of the body, like the abdomen. Parts are
    electric=red, parts are magnetic=blue.
    The fiery element produces the electrical fluid in the body (red), the watery
    element the magnetic fluid - now is it blue or green?
    Somehow I think I'm missing something, probably something very obvious. But
    I feel stuck right now, not understanding my very own microcosm at all. Can
    somebody help unravel the color knots in my head and set me straight?
    Hey now! don't laugh about me!!! :-{}

    I'm wishing all of you a great start into the New Year and hope to get some
    good explanations for my self invented mystery!

    Dear Rawn,

    Thank you for letting me join your internet BardonPraxis group.
    I am at a loss as to how to introduce myself in a few words.
    It may be suffice to say, that many, many years ago I took a book of my
    mom's
    bookshelf, started to read it, just to see what she was in to. I had to
    give
    up very quickly, this book was way out of my capability to comprehend.
    The
    book's name was/is: Der Weg zum Wahren Adepten.
    I now wished I'd have recognized back then, that this was the right path
    for
    me. Actually, occasionally over the next few decades, I had flashes
    about
    this title, but never followed up on it. It took a major tragedy in my
    life
    to finally come back to what I could have had for so long. I read the
    Kybalion and a couple other books by the Initiates and Ramacharaka, and
    found
    myself wanting to study the Kabbalah. This turned out to be a rather
    discouraging task, since most books are way too confusing to the
    uninitiated.
    To make this long (no matter how I turn it) story short, I ended up
    buying t
    he book: Der Schluessel zur Wahren Kabbalah. It didn't take me long to
    realize, that this is the 3. book in the series. I searched the
    internet and
    found Merkur Publishing, and found to my delight, that they have all of
    Franz
    Bardon's books in English translations and ordered them. I now started
    reading the Initiation into Hermetics, the book I so long ago took out
    of the
    bookshelf.
    I'm just in the beginning, but am finding myself already somewhat
    confused.
    I hope that this group will help me along in my understanding.

    Alexandra
