The Seven Energies

Violet


Primary attribute: love or oneness

Other attributes: home, completeness, ascension

In Violet, we come home to the source. We are now united with unconditional love and comforting. This is the completion of the journey.

Violet is not so much a higher kind of beauty as it is a simple statement of completeness and acceptance, and in the heart of one who has not yet come home, but can sense that it is there, violet energy produces an intense longing for that completeness.

Of all the colors, it is most true of Violet music that it is more than the notes, just as a picture of a loved person or place is much more than the picture itself. There is an intensity that seems undefinable, a strange, elusive power.

The depth of the violet emotional light makes this music the most difficult to tune into. Violet, when we first hear it, sounds strange and undefined, almost dirge-like. But if you can tune into it, the experience is transcendent.

Indigo can be extremely dramatic, but Violet music is not dramatic and does not show particular emotions other than the deep sense of love and belonging. Violet music is often, but not always, in a minor or modal key, with a slow tempo. It features poignant chromatic and diminished harmonies heavily. Usually it requires the groundedness of a flat key (for example F, Bb, Eb if major, or d, g or c if minor). There is often a droning quality in the bass notes, a constant sounding on the same pitch. In the opening chorus of Bach’s St. John Passion there is a chromatic wavering in the violins that underlies everything else for the entire duration of the chorus. This is another kind of drone sound, which would not be present in blue or indigo music.

Eric Dowsett, in The Moment That Matters, says "There are other fields beyond GAIA (nature consciousness), and one in particular interests me. I have only accessed this field twice. It has information centered around what I call Home."

There is no dark form of Violet.

Relevant composer: J. S. Bach. Bach may be the only composer to be able to tune into this energy and express it in music.
