 The Human Aura by Swami Panchadasi
Thought forms are built up of the very material composing the aura, and manifest all of the general characteristics thereof, even to the auric colors.
A thought form is more than merely a strongly manifested thought--it really is such a thought but surrounded by a body of ethereal substance, charged with prana and even carrying with it the vibration of the life energy of its creator.
And as might be expected by the thoughtful student, the particular astral colors manifested in the aura by the presence of some particular mental or emotional state exactly correspond with the particular physical colors which influence that particular mental or emotional state.
