Black and White

Black and white are two colors strongly present in esotericism and occultism. Thus, we frequently see occultists dressed in black and white. There's also the example of the black and white checkerboard we see on the floors of all Masonic lodges.

Black and white are natural complementary manifestations. White is light and black is the absence of light, white reflects and black absorbs. 

 

The color white is associated with the Air element and represents light, understanding, spirituality and protection. White is also considered the color of innocence, purity, loyalty and peace. In the West, white garments and decorations symbolize the joy that surrounds births, baptisms and weddings. Yet in many African and Asian customs, white is the traditional color of death and mourning.

The color black is associated with the water element and represents fire, higher knowledge, royalty and strength. In many traditions and religions, the color black stands for mystery, power, nobility, prestige and the darker side of human nature.

According to the concept of yin and yang:

  • Yang represented by the color white is the masculine side of all things, and associated with that which is soft, warm, and dry. Yang is strongest during the day when the sun is shining. 

  • Yin represented by the color black is the feminine side of all things, and is associated with that which is hard, cold, and wet. Yin takes over when its representative, the moon, comes out at night.  

However, these two colors have an even deeper meaning. According to the Targum Jonathan and the Arab Abulpharaj, ELOHIM created Adam on the surface of the earth taking the dust of the sanctuary, the four elements, virgin red earth and a handful of soil of many different colors; and mixing it with various waters, He created the red man: black and white. |Abulpharaj. Arabe. Hist. Dyn., p5; Jonathan Gen 2

Note that if you mix the colors red, black, and white, depending on the intensity of each color, you will get tones ranging from very pale pink to very dark brown. For that reason, it is assumed that Adam the man made of dust and blood would most likely have had a mixed complexion neither white nor very dark, but due to his composition, his descendants could come into existence with complexions ranging from: very pale pink to very dark brown. Hence men have complexions in these colors.

  • Acts 17:26 "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth."

Black and White in the Bible

In the Bible, fire (black) and light (white) symbolize the presence of ELOHIM. Revelation 1:15 is often cited as proof that YESHUA was black in the flesh, and while this is true, many do not discern that this passage, which is a vision of John, do not refer to his human physical appearance but rather to his heavenly or celestial aspect and reveals to us that just like Adam, in Christ there is the very existence of the duality of black and white: His head is pure white, while his feet are as black as obsidian.   

  • Revelations 1:14-15 "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." *Fine brass refers to something that has burned, in other words the color black.

 

The same duality is repeated in the vision of Ezekiel where we are made to understand that from his head to his loins, his appearance reflects sparkling light, surrounded by a dark glow. And from his loins to his feet, his appearance is dark but surrounded by light. 

  • Ezekiel 8:1-2 "There the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me. Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber."

  • Ezekiel 1:27 "From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire within it all around. And from what seemed to be His waist down, I saw what looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him."

Note that in colorism, esoterism and alchemy, fire is always associated with the color black. Thus, when the Scriptures describe an individual using the term “fire,” they are referring to a person of black origin.

 

It's important to keep in mind that, although ELOHIM has a glorious body which he revealed through the creation of Adam, He is first and foremost a spirit and he has not empowered the human eye to be able to see him, but we can feel and perceive his presence, and have the knowledge of His existence through manifestations and phenomena that science calls "forces of nature". Note that this ability to be both invisible and able to materialize into anything is a hallmark of celestial beings. Much like God, angels were given the ability to materialize in the visible realms.

  • 2 Samuel 22:12-13 "He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds. A great brightness shone around him, and burning coals blazed forth."

  • Psalm 18:11-12 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air. At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

Knowing that Adam was created in the image of ELOHIM and that there is a correlation between YESHUA and Adam, we must understand that black and white are symbolically divine colors in the image of ELOHIM. To think that God is essentially white or essentially black is a completely deceptive conception, because He is different manifestations of the same reality.

  • James 2:9 "But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors."

  • Romans 2:11 "For there is no respect of persons with God."

Black and White in occultism

When the world of darkness dresses in black and white, or uses these two colors complementarily on the floors of their lodges, temples and sanctuaries, it implies two things:

  • Either they are subtly trampling ELOHIM under foot, while pretending to be as God.

  • Or they are affirming Lucifer's satanic duality/duplicity. 
    Note that for occultists, black and white represent the duplicity or duality of good and evil, symbolizing the absence of perfect goodness, meaning that no one can be absolutely good. According to them, in order to find balance, light and darkness must be integrated into the same unity; and knowledge of good and evil allows one to transcend the physical by attaining enlightenment or awakening and becoming like ELOHIM. They uphold the belief that Lucifer (the incarnation of Satan) is the great architect of the universe and that without Satan, God cannot exist in the material realm of dualities. According to them, the devil and God are two sides of the same divine coin.

The danger of this Satanic mantra is precisely the fact that it elevates the devil to supreme rank and suggests that the devil and God are one and the same entity.

  • Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness"
