THOUGHT-FORMS
which must obviously have been those expelled earliest,
show nothing but the livid grey of fear; but a moment
later the man is already partially recovering from the
shock, and beginning to feel angry that he allowed
himself to be startled. This is shown by the fact that
the later crescents are lined with scarlet, evidencing the
mingling of anger and fear, while the last crescent is
pure scarlet, telling us that even already the fright is
entirely overcome, and only the annoyance remains.
GREED
Selfish Greed.—Fig. 28 gives us an example of
selfish greed—a far lower type than Fig. 21. It will be
noted that here there is nothing even so lofty as
ambition, and it is also evident from the tinge of muddy
green that the person from whom this unpleasant
thought is projecting is quite ready to employ deceit in
order to obtain her desire. While the ambition of Fig. 21
was general in its nature, the craving expressed in Fig. 28
is for a particular object towards which it is reaching out;
for it will be understood that this thought-form, like that
in Fig. 13, remains attached to the astral body, which
must be supposed to be on the left of the picture. Claw-
like forms of this nature are very frequently to be seen
converging upon a woman who wears a new dress or
bonnet, or some specially attractive article of jewellery.
The thought-form may vary in colour according to the
precise amount of envy or jealousy which is mingled with
the lust for possession, but an approximation to the
shape indicated in our illustration will be found in all
cases. Not infrequently people gathered in front of a
