From the thousand petalled lotus to the two petalled lotus, and from the two petalled lotus back to the thousand, from the thousand-petalled lotus to the entire body, the Goddess Consciousness travels through our entire range of experience.

From the thousand-petalled lotus to the two petalled lotus, from the two petalled lotus to the hidden lotus of the heart, for those whom the Queen of the Universe descends, for them is eternal adherence in their own nature.
