The 7 lotus
Lotus the Symbol of Spirituality, the flower of humility, the peak of Energy. The ultimate blossoming is the blossoming of the Lotus, and the ultimate blossoming can only come through humility. The lotus at night sinks in the mud and in the morning appears well setting the Sun in full bloom and fragrant. This sinking of the Lotus in the mud in the mire that grows and there blooms is the course and the route from humility to light to pure light.
In the morning the lotus appears and looks at the Sun, the Sun sees its purity. The lotus in the morning faces the Sun with its Courage of Chastity, it has succeeded. When the Lotus is held in his hands Ammon Ra is a solar God. When Athor holds it, the lotus turns into a lunar goddess. Goddess of purity and beauty Maha Lakshmi sits on a lotus in full bloom and offers Prosperity, purity and generosity. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are seated on golden Lotuses. Agni the god of the Sacred Fire, the fire of Healing emerges from a blooming Lotus. Buddha upright on a Lotus symbolizing peace, harmony and spiritual growth. All the gods in Hinduism sit on a Lotus to tell us what to reach the Divine you need purity of soul, humility, you need to become a Lotus. This immersion of the Lotus in the mud at night in absolute darkness symbolizes death, the death of man in matter, in the sin of matter. The mud is the matter and the lotus sinks into it at night, so man sinks into the matter and forgets who he is, forgets what a seed is inside him. The seed of the Lotus, and the first Light reminds the lotus of what is there and waits for it and awakens the lotus, awakens it. It always takes a light to wake you up. The light awakens the lotus and the lotus remembers who it is, and comes out into the Light from the darkness of the mud to give us its fragrance. So also man must remember who he is, and the flowering is in the seventh chakra, in the spirit, in the conception of the spiritual. This is the course. Diving into the mud knowing the mud and the absolute darkness comes the moment when you leave the dependence of matter to know the purity and humility, the spiritual blossoming of the Lotus.
Nothing can begin unless the lotus blooms, once the lotus blooms Creation begins. Each chakra is also a Lotus, in the first a red lotus, in the second an orange lotus, in the third a yellow lotus, in the fourth a pink lotus, in the fifth a blue lotus, in the sixth an indigo lotus and in the seventh chakra a violet/purple lotus.
When these Lotuses open creation begins, and we have the white Light.
