The Sixth Painting – The Lotus Flower16/3

Translation

16/3 The Sixth Painting. I was asked to concentrate for 7 minutes, after which I was to try to reproduce what had been impressed upon our brains
 The lotus flower is an image of deep and sacred content. Here lies a profound truth hidden. The chalice is filled with blood. Its inner side is as if polished through the effect of shining rays upon the closed bud, open only to the light that has filtered in despite the unopened state. When unfolded, it forms the flower's covering — symbolically the chalice — which has grown slowly upward from the bottom of the mud to finally reach its destiny, pure at its innermost core indeed, already within the muddy ground, but before it reached the flower's unfolded state, before the chalice was filled with the fullest streams of heart's blood, the inner side was indeed bright with light from within and from above, but the outer side of the plant was indeed blackened by the matter of mud that had forced its way through the fibers of the stem and roots. The snails are an image of evolution. The black color signifies evil powers 
 the snails, one blue, the other yellow, signify that the WUS-forming nature spirit has at its disposal the love between the two that represent positive and negative, in order one day to help them upward. The snails at the center of the cross signify the difficulty of pressing the cross downward.

16/3 SjĂ€tte tavlan. Uppmanades till koncentration i 7 minuter, sedan skulle jag försöka Ă„tergiva vad vi pĂ„tryckt hjĂ€rnan
 Lotusblomman Ă€r en bild av djupt och heligt innehĂ„ll. HĂ€r ligger en djup sanning dold. Fylld Ă€r kalken med blod. Innersidan Ă€r liksom polerad genom skinande strĂ„lars inverkan pĂ„ den slutna knoppen, öppen endast för ljuset som silat sig in trots det oöppnade tillstĂ„ndet. Utslagen bildar blommans hölje symboliskt kalken som frĂ„n gyttjans botten vuxit sĂ„ sakta uppĂ„t för att slutligen nĂ„ sin bestĂ€mmelse, ren innerst visserligen, redan i gyttjans mark, men innan den nĂ„tt blommans utslagna stĂ„ndpunkt, innan kalken fyllts av hjĂ€rteblodets fullaste strömmar var innersidan visserligen blank av ljuset inifrĂ„n och uppifrĂ„n, men utsidan av vĂ€xten var visserligen svĂ€rtad genom dymaterien som trĂ€ngt sig genom stjĂ€lkens och rötternas fibrer. SnĂ€ckorna Ă€r en bild av evolutionen. Svarta fĂ€rgen betyder onda makter, 
 snĂ€ckorna blĂ„ den ena, gul den andra, betyder att den WUS bildande naturanden har kĂ€rleken mellan de tvĂ„ som representera pos. o neg. till sitt förfogande för att en gĂ„ng hjĂ€lpa dem uppĂ„t. SnĂ€ckorna i korsets mitt betyda svĂ„righet att pressa korset nedĂ„t.
