AC 9467 - "And Crimson"

AC 9467

And crimson.
(Exodus 25:4)

. . . this means the celestial love of good,
. . . The reason why this is meant by "crimson,"
is that by a red color is meant the good of celestial love.
For there are two fundamental colors
from which come the rest:
the color red, and the color white.
The color "red" means the good which is of love;
and the color "white" means the truth which is of faith.
That the color "red" means the good which is of love,
is because it comes from fire,
and "fire" denotes the good of love;
and the color "white" means the truth which is of faith,
because it comes from light,
and "light" denotes the truth of faith.

From this it is evident what the remaining colors mean;
for insofar as they partake of red
they mean the good of love;
and insofar as they partake of white
they means the truth of faith;
for all the colors that appear in heaven
are modifications of heavenly light and flame
upon these two planes.
For heavenly light is real light,
and in itself is the Divine truth
that proceeds from the Divine good of the Lord;
wherefore the modifications of this light and flame
are variations of truth and good,
thus of intelligence and wisdom.
