Indigo’s Indignity

A Blasphemy Worse than Gravity

“It is customary to list indigo as a color lying between blue and violet, but it has never seemed to me that indigo is worth the dignity of being considered a separate color. To my eyes it seems merely deep blue.”
— Isaac Asimov

The color indigo is a lie. It means well and had no control over being hoisted to the top of the spectrum, but it knows it does not belong. But an ounce of intent is worth a pound of truth so not only is indigo there as the sixth of seven, for it to stand down would be sacrilege.

It was Newton, Sir Isaac who first insisted on Indigo as the sixth in the divine spectrum of seven colors for a few reasons; none of which based on physics. Then again, we now know that none of his contributions were based on physics but used physics to forge a system.

This existence is a sandbox. Force of will and co-creation are the hand and shovel. We can build and determine whatever we like which is why Newtonian Physics was at all. But it too has snapped back into a pattern of perpetual flow.

Though a scientist of the first order and considered a heretic, was a contemplative man of God. Just as his Newtonian Universe dictated a clockwork hierarchy of a cause and effect and gravities certain, so too were his views on the cosmos and its divinity.

In his hidden writings we learned that he “recognized Christ as a divine mediator between God and man, who was subordinate to the Father who created him.”

In other words there could be no trinity of equal parts; Father, Son and Holy Ghost that made up the one God. It had to be a logical system and that system had to match the Word and that Word is replete with the number seven as the most divine. Additionally, this sacred tome warns of sixes three-fold and finally to the point that it is a threat to God thus his universe.

So when his prism splayed out distinct colors from the white light it refracted, and despite the hues between the fifth and the sixth, this forger of Physics insisted that there must be seven distinct colors in the visible spectrum of God’s universe and so Newton intended Indigo.

And his force of will and co-creative intention is why we seek sevens for luck and love and signs of right. The Holy Bible implies its divinity and so we squeeze a seventh into every choice of six or so. We avoid sixes like the plague but the plague is seven.

And as deep as you sense a righteousness about the number seven, as long as you’ve seen it adorn slot machines and quarterbacks and rolls of the die to mean yes, it is time to say “no” to seven.

Seven is not the rope nor the knot but the hole in that knot and to focus divinity on a hole is a blasphemy worse than gravity.

How impersonal a thing; a number yet we all have our lucky ones or a sequence of them that we let tell us we’re on track. Yet every number is in every moment and they are incalculable. It is our intention that zeroes in on the numbers we want to confirm our intent.
