Blue Power

Blue Power is the spiritual energy giving off by blue objects. Blitz Historians have traced this magical power source from all the way to Ancient Times on Earth. Blue is the attribute of many sky gods including Amun in Egypt, the Sumerian Great Mother, the Greek Zeus (Jupiter to the Romans), the Hindu Indra, Vishnu and his blue-skinned incarnation, Krishna. In Buddhism both light (sky blue) and dark aspects of this mysterious color are important. There is also the 'Blue Buddha', also known as the Buddha of Medicine or Healing, which we at the Blitz Historical Foundation believe is directly linked to the Blue God. The most distinctive feature of this Medicine Buddha is his color, the deep blue of lapis lazuli. This precious stone has been greatly prized by Asian and European cultures for more than six thousand years and, until relatively recently, its ornamental value was on a par with, or even exceeded, that of the diamond. An aura of mystery surrounds this gemstone, perhaps because of its principal mines are located in the remote Badakshan region of northeast Afghanistan, an all-but-inaccessible area located behind the Hindu Kush. One commentator has written, "the finest specimens of lapis, intensely blue with speckled waves and swirls of shining gold-colored pyrite, resemble the night aglow with myriads of stars."
