Chapter IV
The Threefold Development
further explained
"The red colour of gross fire is the colour of the original
fire; the white colour of gross fire is the colour of the
original water; the black colour of gross fire is the
colour of the original earth. Thus vanishes from fire
what is commonly called fire, the modification being
only a name, arising from speech, while the three
colours (forms) alone are true.

"The red colour of the sun is the colour of fire, the white
the colour of water, the black the colour of earth. Thus
vanishes from the sun what is commonly called the sun,
the modification being only a name, arising from
speech, while the three colours alone are true.

"The red colour of the moon is the colour of fire, the
white the colour of water, the black the colour of earth.
Thus vanishes from the moon what is commonly called
the moon, the modification being only a name, arising
from speech, while the three colours alone are true.
