"In Thibet the followers of the right hand path, 
Gya-dugpas, yellow caps; black dugpas, red caps. 
The yellow is the color of blood seen by 
transmitted light. The red is that of blood 
seen by reflected light. Yellow is the color 
of the Sun or of the zodiacal light, the color 
of the blood of the atonement of the sacrifice 
of the Gods who incarnated in man for his 
salvation from ignorance and unconsciousness. 
The red is the sign of the joy felt by the evil 
powers, when they got hold of the secret of 
the Gods or creative powers. It is thus the 
blood of the woman, female or evil side of 
nature. Red signifies the covenant of the fall, 
or brutalization of humanity. From the Sun 
emanates its life, blood, which falling on 
all things in nature, makes them live and grow by immaculate 
conception. Thus when blood or the life fluid is held up between the 
eye and the light, one really looks through the external delusive 
thing, at the divine light. While red blood, blood seen by reflected 
light, is the thing itself, seen as a separate object or mayavic 
appearance, in looking at which the light is lost sight of. Thus 
those whose gaze is centered on the external or red, worship nature 
on the purely earthly plane, and are the left hand Adepts, Dugpas. 
Those who behold the light through the external appearance worship 
nature on the astral, psychic, and spiritual planes, and are the 
white."
