Sacred Lotus Quotes

“We are often given pills or fluids to help remedy illness, yet little has been taught to us about the power of smell to do the exact same thing. It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea – but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily (or the pink lotus), it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory - and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom.”

“She weaves me anew, sacred and true
Naked to her strength, I hear anew
I need not even seek her
for, she is here with me.

Infinite space, sacred hums
where all returns to one.
The truths revealed and the lessons
unraveled
Seeker of time, I need not even travel
All is here, with this one sacred love,
sacred embrace.”
