the Patchwork Girl of Oz
part 1

In general, important concepts, prime memes, can be related to one or two colors. This is done by observing what the meme necessarily involves. What it can't do without. In a listing of types of TV shows, for example, one might have the category "Sports". It is quite obvious that the one thing  that a sport cannot do without is conflict. That is, winners and losers, high scores and low scores, success and failure. Sports might have rules (yellow) but in extreme cases (Calvinball) they don't. Somebody might be in charge (blue) of a team or be a coach (blue) but single players may not have one. There may be extreme interest (green) but then again some sports are boooring. Big prizes, payoffs (orange) but maybe it's all personal satisfaction. And a sport may reflect (purple) some other activity (paint ball) but maybe not. And so on. But conflict there must be. (red) Whether the conflict is social, personal, a matter or skill or luck or whatever, there's got to be conflict or it's not a sport. And with Red comes White. Conflict exists only where there is Distinguishability.

According to Blavatsky a specific sequence of prime concepts in a row will, if iterated previous to a particular kind of meditation, evoke an appropriate response in the mind and body of the meditator. If Recognition of Reality, that is, Wakefulness is what one is aiming for then the appropriate sequence is the personal order of the Tetractys. The Geocentric order.

Hence

The brain furniture is listed in the Geocentric order which is the order of relative motion, at least as far as the visible planets are concerned. The Pythagorean names for these are

Anti-Earth  White   Obedience Must have Rulership Blue, must have Distinguishability White
Saturn Yellow   Cleverness Must have Limits Yellow, must have Distinguishability White
Jupiter Blue Judgment Must have Rulership Blue, must have Distinguishability White
Mars Red Courage Must have Conflict Red, must have Distinguishability White
Sun Clear Ingenuity Must take all into account Clear, must have relationship Colorless
Venus Green Amiability Must have Involvement Green, must have Empathy Black
Mercury Orange Learning Must have Categorization Orange, must have Empathy Black
Moon Purple Truth Must have Reflection Purple, must have Empathy Black
Earth Black Poesy Must have Interest Green must have Empathy Black
Central Fire Colorless Self Reliance Must have Self Clear, must have Relationship Colorless
