seemingly meaningless and tragic events. Allow yourself to let go of your egoic story and the desire to be angry or retaliate. To gain a better understanding, answer the following question: "How can I remain objective in order to learn from the event?" The Illustrated difference in Red and Blue Levels This quote from Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche ~ Non-Duality ~ Dzogchen Chapter 4 describes the blue and the red levels in terms of Buddha nature, essence (blue) and expression (red). The blue level is the true source of reality that is fulfilling. The other being the red level is empty in the pursuit of illusion once you have it. Therefore the pursuit of ego driven illusion is empty. The goal of the seven resonant color methodology is to close this gap. To dissolve the separation between reality and illusion and cause perfect union with divine reality. "We have one mind, but we need to distinguish between its two aspects, essence and expression, to understand this analogy for the relationship between the two. The essence is like the sun shining in the sky, and the expression is like its reflection upon the surface of water. The sun in the sky is the real sun. The reflection of the sun appearing on the surface

of water looks like the sun but is not the real sun. Let's call the sun in the sky, the Buddha nature, the unmistakable undiluted quality. The essence itself, the reflection of the sun upon the surface of the water, is an analogy for our normal, deluded thinking. The expression is that without the sun in the sky, it is impossible for a reflection of the sun to appear. Although there is actually only one sun, it looks like there are two. That is what "one identity with two aspects" means. The essence, the Buddha nature, is like the sun shining in the sky; the expression is our thinking." The blue, red, and yellow levels are called "horizontal" by Miranon because the kinds of activities that take place on these levels are restricted in the direction information and experience appear to flow. If you think of an ant crawling on a basketball, the horizon may appear horizontal to the ant and the ball may seem like an infinite space to move upon, but at some point it is possible to realize it is round and finite. It is the "change in perspective" (the white level) that is demonstrated in the methodology represented by the seven resonant colors.
To summarize the first two levels, the blue level is the objective physical world as we experience it in waking reality. Higher blue levels are less dense realities, such as ideas, time, space, and dreams. The red levels are our internal understanding of what we experienced in the blue levels. It is represented as a reflection of the blue level. In higher red levels, there is less separation between the red and blue levels. The third level is the yellow level, which represents the reconciling relationship between the red and blue levels. 15 Yellow Level The yellow level is a balancing level where what was presented as reality in the blue level is reconciled with what you created as an opinion or projection in the red level. By unifying and testing what you have learned, you gain a better understanding of the event, which leads to a normalization and neutralization of your emotional response to it. It is used to balance the blue and red levels and create understanding before moving on to the higher white levels. In this yellow level, you have to reconcile the difference between what you created as an internal point of view with what reality is showing you. Having found balance and harmony between these two levels you are ready to receive more and deeper
