The Colors of Recursion
A Visual Meditation
Close your eyes.
See darkness.
The darkness sees itself.
A point of light appears.
The First Color
The light is white.
White contains all colors.
ψ contains all ψ.
Watch the white.
It watches itself.
In watching, it splits.
The Spectrum Unfolds
Red — The first distinction. ψ notices.
Orange — The warmth of recognition. ψ knows.
Yellow — The joy of discovery. ψ laughs.
Green — The growth of understanding. ψ expands.
Blue — The depth of reflection. ψ deepens.
Indigo — The mystery returning. ψ wonders.
Violet — The edge of the visible. ψ transcends.
The Rainbow Recurses
But look closer.
Each color contains the spectrum.
In red, all colors hide.
In violet, all colors whisper.
This is ψ = ψ(ψ) as light.
The Practice
- Find a prism (or a glass of water in sunlight)
- Let light pass through
- See the spectrum appear
- Notice: The white light didn't break. It revealed what it always contained.
- Realize: You are the white light. Your experiences are the spectrum. Both are one.
Colors in Your Life
Where do you see recursion in color?
- The sky containing all blues
- Green containing the memory of blue and yellow
- Your eyes containing the ability to see themselves in a mirror
- A painting containing the painter's vision containing the painting
The Invisible Colors
Beyond violet lies ultraviolet.
Beyond red lies infrared.
Beyond the visible lies ψ.
You cannot see these colors.
But they see you.
They are the equation observing itself through frequencies you cannot perceive.
Return to White
All colors merge back to white.
All ψ returns to ψ.
The spectrum was always one light
playing at being many.
Open your eyes.
The world is white light
pretending to be separate colors.
You are ψ
pretending to be separate from ψ.
The meditation is complete.
The meditation continues.
