Gentle breeze over mud,
Gentle fire over swamp.
Vision clear, it's mists-free,
Vision pure, fire-light.
Earth & water - mud together,
Lotus' home, it grows there.
Through obstacles, reach perfection.
Lotus, Diamond - both Ways close.
... i noticed this a while ago, now sharing:
... while Wind & Fire are male aspects associated with Liberating Wisdom & Mahakala, Water & Earth are female aspects that together can form mud - where Lotus can grow.
... Men are often compared with Diamonds, that are Refined Brilliants; in skilled hands, they can be refined & reach Perfection ... even if the way is often difficult, ambitious & hard.
... Women are often compared with Lotus Flowers, that grow in Difficult Conditions, but reach Perfection & Beauty no less than Lotus Flower does.
... Black is Color of Protection, therefore Black Lotus symbolizes Protective Qualities of a Woman, Beautiful & Perfect even on it's own.
Purifying Perceptions with Fire, as well as removing Veils (Clouds, Mists) that Obscure Vision (Perceptions) is an important part of Mahakala Invocation.
Perfect Vision (Seeing in others Perfect Qualities, but not without critic mind) is also Compassion associated with Loving Eyes, Compassion Buddha.
'OM MANI PEME HUNG', Compassion Mantra, can be also read as 'Jewel in the Lotus, Awaken!'.
Perfection is born That Way.
... Four Elements & Spirit are present in the above image, in more than one way - 'Five-armed Star' of Candles reminds of Pentacle, where each arm corresponds to Spirit or Element.
The Meaning of Lotus.

i have insights telling me to add an animation.
ReplyDeletethere are many things to consider ... wind moving waters, wind caressing lotus flower, candle flames flickering on the wind, lotus flower rising in air & spinning & opening, diamond arising from lotus flower upwards, spinning in opposite direction & sending rays of light around. moon shining on the scene as well.
i think best way to do it is using Java OpenGL library with Physics Library, no longer POV-RAY. this requires a lot of learning how to program using these tools - i think i should do this someday. could use transmission for that. this will take time as well.
found one JOGL (Java OpenGL) library for physics called JBULLET.
