I'm nowhere today.
time traveling, back, forward, it makes no difference...it's all nowhere.
a wave of cynicism has come over me.
my Kombucha Scoby has grown green mold, and that is a bad sign
it means that i am stagnating
that my energy is being drained
my life points are low.
I'm nowhere today, frozen here,
feeling like i should be doing something,
and all i want to do is sit
like the lotus
my toes in the mud
my petals to the sky
going nowhere.
There is a certain parallel between the symbolism of the lotus and that
of the rose in Western culture. In Egypt, the lotus symbolizes nascent life, or first
appearance (19). Saunier regards it as a natural symbol for all forms of evolution
(49). In the Middle Ages it was equated with the mystic ‘Centre’ and, consequently, with the heart (56, 14). As an artistic creation it is related to the mandala,
its significance varying according to the number of its petals: the eight-petalled
lotus-is considered in India as the Centre where Brahma dwells and as the visible
manifestation of his occult activity (26). The figure eight is like the mandorla of
Romanesque art, signifying the intersection of the earth (four, or the square) with
heaven (the circle). The ‘thousand-petalled’ lotus symbolizes the final revelation;
in the centre there is usually a triangle and inside the triangle is the ‘great emptiness’ symbolic of formlessness. René Guénon has examined lotus-symbolism at
great length, observing that The potentialities of being are realized by means of an
activity which is always internal’ (this is the ‘growth’ of Father Gratry) ‘since it
is exercised from the centre of each plane; furthermore, from the metaphysical
point of view, it is impossible for external action to be brought to bear upon the
total being, for such action is possible only on a relative and a particular plane. .
This realization of potentialities is depicted in various symbolisms as the . .
unfolding of a flower on the surface of the “waters”; generally, in oriental traditions, it is a lotus, and a rose or lis in the West. There is a further relationship
between these flowers and the circumference as a symbol of the manifest world,
as well as with the cosmic Wheel. This symbol finds other forms of expression in
many different ways, but always related to the symbolism of numbers, that is,
depending upon the number of petals’ (25). From the remotest days of antiquity,
the lotus was the unanimous choice of the Chinese, the Japanese, the Hindus, the
Egyptians and the Aryans. The lotus flower growing out of the navel of Vishnu,
symbolizes the universe growing out of the central sun—the central point or the
‘unmoved mover’. It is the attribute of many deities (9). In lotus symbolism, the
idea of emanation and of realization predominated over that of the hidden Centre,
which is a Western accretion.

According to Raymond Lull, ‘meaning is the revelation of secrets
through the sign’, a thesis which puts the emphasis upon the sign as a fact, as a
reality. On the other hand, for Stanislas de Guaita (Essais de Sciences maudites,
II, Paris, 1915) the sign is the ‘point of reference needed by the will (or conscience) in projecting itself towards a predetermined goal’. The sign, then, is the
concrete form, the symptom, of an invisible, an inner reality and, at the same
time, the means whereby the mind is reminded of that reality. Determination and
meaning are immanent in the sign. The occult theory of ‘signatures’ conceives
everything that exists as a sign and holds that everything has a feasible ‘reading’
(the shape of a tree, the position of three or more rocks on a plain, the colour of some eyes, marks made by natural forces on a natural or artificial terrain, the
structure of a landscape, the pattern of a constellation, etc.). Auguste Rodin, a
realist who was always hovering on the borders of symbolism, in his Conversations collected by Paul Gsell, places all art within this realm of occult meaning,
with the words: ‘lines and shades are for us nothing more than the signs of a
hidden reality. Beyond the surface, our gaze plunges into the spirit’. The painter
Gustave Moreau expressed himself in similar terms when referring to ‘the evocation of thought by line, arabesque and plastic means’. In the present century, Max
Ernst and Dubuffet, among other artists, have explained their pictorial and graphic
experiments as an immersion in the psychic projected onto the material. At the
same time, C. G. Jung gives a similar explanation of the quest of the alchemists.
