The Myth of Frequency...my understanding of frequency = amplitude / time or as a linear plot of peak /trough oscillations over time.
which part of this is myth ?

Different Shades of Opinion

My current theory of why this works involves something musicians call harmonic resonance frequency. The wavelengths of light, just like the wavelengths of sound, could “resonate” at certain frequencies, and can resonate with each other. At least, that's my theory right now, but it's all speculative. Physiology might explain of perception of the color wheel; specifically our color receptors and how we as humans perceive light. Maybe it’s a little bit of each.

Regardless, using cheats, like color wheels, makes sense. For artists, understanding which wheel to use and how light REALLY works, and maybe learning some of the math involved, makes it a much easier topic to work with.

All About the Color GREEN

Green is everywhere. It’s the most common color in the natural world, and it’s second only to blue as the most common favorite color. It’s the color we associate with money, the environment, and aliens, and it’s the color of revitalization and rebirth.

Let’s break down our understanding about the color green.

Physical Effects

What happens to your body in the presence of green? Your pituitary gland is stimulated. Your muscles are more relaxed, and your blood histamine levels increase, which leads to a decrease in allergy symptoms and dilated blood vessels, aiding in smoother muscle contractions. In short, green is calming, stress-relieving, and – a bit paradoxically – invigorating. It’s been shown to improve reading ability and creativity.

Symbolism

Green stands for balance, nature, spring, and rebirth. It’s the symbol of prosperity, freshness, and progress.
In Japanese culture, green is associated with eternal life, and it is the sacred color of Islam, representing respect and the prophet Muhammad.

Positive Associations

We associate green with vitality, fresh growth, and wealth. We generally think of it as a balanced, healthy, and youthful. We use green in design for spaces intended to foster creativity and productivity, and we associate green with progress – think about giving a project the “green light.”

Negative Associations

What’s fascinating is that as positive as most of our associations with green are, it carries particular potent negative connotations as well. Someone who feels sick might look “green around the gills,” and certain yellow-gray greens have a distinctly unpleasant, institutional feel to them.

Green Is The Color Of The Heart Chakra

The Meaning Of The Color Green Around The World

In Ghardaia and other parts of M’zab, houses painted in green indicate that the inhabitants have made a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Green, blue-green, and blue are sacred colors in Iran, where they symbolize paradise.
As the emblematic color of Ireland, green represents the vast green hillsides, as well as Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick.
In Aztec culture, green was considered to be royal because it was the colour of the quetzal plumes used by the Aztec chieftains.
The solid green flag of Libya is currently the only national flag of a single color.
In China, jade stones represent virtue and beauty.
In Portugal, green is the color of hope because of its associations with spring.
In the highlands of Scotland, people used to wear green as a mark of honor.

Religious & Mythological Associations With The Color Green

In several religions, green is the color associated with resurrection and regeneration.
Green is the color of love associated with both Venus, the Roman goddess and Aphrodite, the Greek goddess.
The prophet Mohammed wore a green cloak and turban.
The God of fertility in Celtic myths was associated with green.

Interesting Information About The Color Green

Green was the favorite color of George Washington, the first President of the United States.
The color green signifies mystical or magical properties in the stories of King Arthur.
Green is one color that means “low” or “guarded” in the color-coded threat system established by presidential order in March 2002. This system quickly informs law enforcement agencies when intelligence indicates a change in the terrorist threat facing the United States.

Bright green is the color of the astrological sign “Cancer.”
Green ribbons have been used by a range of environmental groups to symbolize organ donation and transplant, awareness of Bipolar Disorder, solidarity with Chechnya, and support of farmers in America.
Modern absinthe dates from 1792, when Dr. Pierre Ordinaire commercialised it as a cure-all. Then, Henri-Louis Pernod founded the Pernod Fils absinthe company in 1805, seeing its aperitif potential. Absinthe’s moment came with the 1840’s Algerian wars, when French soldiers drank it as a prophylactic against disease. They brought it home, and by the 1860s, Parisian cafes had established 5pm as “l’heure verte” – “the green hour.”

Quotes About The Color Green

“Green how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches.” — Federico Garcia Lorca
“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.” — Pedro Calderon de la Barca
“He had that curious love of green, which in individuals is always the sign of a subtle artistic temperament, and in nations is said to denote a laxity, if not a decadence of morals.” — Oscar Wilde
“Absolute green is the most restful color, lacking any undertone of joy, grief, or passion. On exhausted men this restfulness has a beneficial effect, but after a time it becomes tedious.” — Wassily Kandinsky
“Green represents the dead image of life.” — Rudolf Steiner

Hyperspectral Imaging: An Emerging Tool for Mission Readiness

For those charged with protecting our national security, the challenge of mission readiness today begins with more and better intelligence. One of the emerging sources of this intelligence is hyperspectral remote sensing. Like its multispectral counterpart, hyperspectral sensing lets us “see” beyond the few colors the human eye can perceive. But while multispectral sensors typically sense only a few, broad wavelength bands, such as blue, green, red, and near-Infrared, hyperspectral sensors capture hundreds of very narrow bands, providing an unmatched level of detail.

This higher level of spectral detail lets analysts find and interpret what we might sometimes call “the unseen.” Every object or material—whether solid, liquid, or gas—reflects or emits electromagnetic energy in a distinctive way. Hyperspectral sensing enables one to exploit these distinctive spectral characteristics to derive valuable intelligence that would be difficult or impossible to obtain any other way.

These uses of hyperspectral sensing—detection, classification, and quantification—can address a multitude of commercial, civil, Department of Defense, and Intelligence Community needs. While applications are numerous and varied, a few include:

- Natural resource identification and environmental impact assessment
- Exploration and remediation for petroleum and mining industries
- Monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other industrial facilities
- Water quality measurement and source monitoring (including glaciers)
- Measurement of temperature and humidity distributions in the atmosphere to support weather modeling
- Detection, tracking, and monitoring of targets of interest and nefarious activities, such as narcotics manufacturing
- Evaluation of farm crop seasonal progress and crop stress

SUPPORTING PROACTIVE MISSION READINESS

Multi-intelligence (multi-INT) analyses—the fusing together of collections from different sensing sources to extract new levels of intelligence—represent an important path toward more comprehensive and effective situational awareness. With its material detection and identification capability, hyperspectral imaging can play an important role in tomorrow’s multi-INT products.

Consider an airborne platform that hosts both a wide-area motion imaging (WAMI) and signal intelligence (SIGINT) sensor used to detect and track the cell phone signal of a suspected attacker. The SIGINT sensor locates the cell phone signal, cross-cues to the WAMI sensor, which then starts to track the signal’s movement across a region. As the suspected attacker stops at locations along the route, a hyperspectral system is queued to scan against a list of “targets of interest” at each location. This type of multi-INT capability is not just powerful, it is lifesaving.

As part of a multi-INT solution or alone, hyperspectral imaging has the ability to deliver new levels of intelligence to support proactive mission readiness. And readiness, as part of a comprehensive approach to resiliency, will help us meet the challenges of mobile and increasingly capable adversaries.

This is the first known painting by Michelangelo, described by his earliest biographers and believed to have been painted when he was twelve or thirteen years old. Although Michelangelo considered himself first and foremost a sculptor, he received his early training as a painter, in the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio (c. 1449–1494), a leading master in Florence. Michelangelo’s earliest biographers, Giorgio Vasari and Ascanio Condivi, tell us that, aside from some drawings, his first work was a painted copy of the engraving Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons by the fifteenth-century German master Martin Schongauer. The rare subject is found in the life of Saint Anthony the Great, written by Athanasius of Alexandria in the fourth century, which describes how the Egyptian hermit-saint had a vision that he levitated into the air and was attacked by demons, whose torments he withstood.

Created when he was informally associated with Ghirlandaio’s workshop and under the guidance of an older friend, the artist Francesco Granacci, Michelangelo’s painting earned him widespread recognition. Writing when Michelangelo was still alive, both Vasari and Condivi recounted that to give the demonic creatures veracity, he studied the colorful scales and other parts of specimens from the fish market. Michelangelo subtly revised Schongauer’s composition, making it more compact and giving the monsters more animal-like features, notably adding fish scales to one of them. He also included a landscape that resembles the Arno River Valley around Florence. The work is one of only four easel paintings generally regarded as having come from his hand and the first painting by Michelangelo to enter an American collection.

Steiner first considers the colours green peach-blossom, black and white, and through his spiritual science reaches the conclusion that:

Green represents the lifeless image of the living
Peach-blossom represents the living image of the soul
White or light represents the soul’s image of the spirit
Black represents the spiritual image of the lifeless

I am not trying to justify these conclusions. What is interesting from the perspective of an artistic consciousness is how Steiner then takes these conclusions as a way for the artist to learn how to present nature and living beings in paintings:

Peach-blossom confined within boundaries – this would not be true to artistic feeling. Green may be confined within definite limits, while peach-blossom will always disperse into something indefinite.

Through a deeper intuitive understanding of colour, Steiner expanded on Goethe’s theory of colour by introducing the distinction between active colours and passive colours. Black, white, green and peach-blossom are picture or image colours – in that as we saw in the conclusions above, they are pictures of something – the living, the soul, spirit. Yellow, blue and red are termed lustre colours in that “something shines from them”.



In terms of understanding the concept of shining, we can not reach an understanding intellectual abstract understanding, but through feeling. Steiner is therefore elevating feelings to objective reality, and in terms of the lustre colours reaches these conclusions:

Yellow is the lustre of the spirit
Blue is the lustre of soul
Red is the lustre of the living

Steiner is clear what the implications are for art:

The artist knows that when he handles yellow, blue and red he must induce in his picture something that expresses an inwardly dynamic quality which gives itself character. If he is working with peach-blossom and green on black or white then he knows that an image quality is already present in the colour. Such a science of colour is so inwardly living that it can pass immediately from the soul’s experience into art.

As Steiner says of our current scientific way of understanding colour:

Physics, with its clumsy approach to the world of colour, drives every artistic quality from its observations with the result that the artist has not the least idea what to make of its pronouncements concerning colour.

It is also common for the LM-s to be associated with demons and I know one well known Edinburgh researcher of the paranormal who insists that the LM are not to be trusted and are just demons - a common line of thinking throughout the ages.
