Dear Mr. Firekeeper,
No, we are not static beings. And our color preferences change over time. How many children have you known who like the color red, only when they're older choose another color?
Has the preference in color come from some developmental progression? Are young children developing the root chakra first?
And yes, perception. But doesn't what you percieve become interpreted by the mind? What is the criteria for the mind's interpretation?
Blessings,
Ms. Roxy
