The Four Stages of Knowing: The Lotus in The Mind.

Our journey to become ‘the one who knows’ moves us out of darkness and into the light

Cultivating strength, becoming wiser day by day, we avoid suffocation in the dark muddy depths: ‘the one who knows’ is silently being born.

Suspended in silent stillness, we sit: knowing develops within, the risk of breaking is great, but trust brings our first experience of peace beyond doubt.

So close now to the surface we can feel the sun’s gentle warmth on our face. We push on, ever upwards towards the light gaining strength through the path — liberation is close.

Finally, we break through but, oh so gracefully, to really see the vastness of the sky and breathe fresh air for the first time.

We unfurl our petals one by one and share the gift of our inherent beauty with the world.
