Introduction
to Chromotherapy Lessons
The “Color Philosophy” portions of these lessons
were edited by Father Paul while he was still here, insofar
as both the mystical and practical effects of color are
concerned. As
for therapeutical color treatments to correct certain
conditions, while he had done extensive work in this field
thirty years previous, his notebook, the one recording his
personal findings, is merely a collection of personal case
histories which will require tabulation.
If any write up was made, it has not been located.
When he gave me the folders containing all his
remaining material on light and color, the month before he
left this plane, he asked that I put it all together and
write it up slanted toward the healing course.
He then gave me an outline which the entire healing
course would follow. He
also cautioned that some of the material on color was old.
Therefore, the first lessons on the science of light
have been carefully checked and double-checked with latest
scientific findings, and are as factually correct as can be
in a changing world. The
lessons on color are presented for your own proving through
experimentation.
The color therapy and suggested treatments are mostly
gleaned from the work of others prominent in the field, some
of them medical doctors.
As these pioneers in color therapy were very
enthusiastic in their claims, we advice that each treatment
be checked out thoroughly more than once, under
circumstances where no danger is incurred to the patient
through delaying other treatment.
In serious cases needing immediate care and
attention, we ask that you save the recommendation on light
treatment to use in an auxiliary way, and not deprive the
person of other treatment which is known to be effective,
until we have more proof of how this works.
We know that some experiments are being conducted by
scientists at this time; their findings are yet to be made
public. We also
know there is more to these things than meets the
scientists’ eyes.
Be sure to record your own findings on color therapy
quite systematically so as to further the effectiveness of
this work. Direct
statements made by Father Paul included in these lessons are
usually in full capitals, unless otherwise identified.
The lessons marked “supplementary” are extra and
should be omitted by anyone not going deeply into the study
of color therapy, as they are not essential to understand
the more important aspects of the subject.
