FOUR COLOURS SPIRITUAL TEACHING

A Short Explanation about Colours and Conviction

    Many People come to us and ask for their colours (for regalia, for ceremonial objects, etc.) and their colours are dreamed, and in some cases, people will naturally wear their colours. Your spirit remembers everything about you and all the objects you have chosen to wear, speaks about the real you, the spirit that you are. Everyone remembers who they really are, but some are more conscious of it than others. The objects and colours you wear and live with remind you of your purpose.

    Colours speak! Each and every colour carries teachings and are messages to one and other, telling of their purpose and convictions. Every spirit that emanates from the Creator chose a convict~i and was given a divine purpose, to empower all other spirits, to grow greater through love. You have major convictions and minor ones. Even the colour of your eyes and the colour of your hair, hold teachings about your convictions. The more you know about yourself and the convictions you Carry, the easier it is to help you to fulfill your purpose and enables you to help others

When a medicine person learns or teaches about the Plant People, they will  know the plant's purpose by its colours. Like the colours worn by the Birds, Butterflies and Fish Plants to tell other beings of their purpose and colours are used to signal the time for pollination. Colours are a language used in mating rituals, for displays of strength and to warn others colours may be used to indicate whether one being is safe for another being to eat or not, approachable or not Mankind understands this teachings, of colours, for they follow the Great Sprits By flying their colours, their flags, logos, tattoos and other sacred designs.
