Breakthrough 2 – The Inner Path The path to spiritual enlightenment and rebirth leads through recognizing, accepting, and transforming our shadow sides. According to Buddhist teachings, the three poisons that cause suffering are greed/attachment = symbolized by the rooster, aversion/hatred = symbolized by the snake, and ignorance/delusion = symbolized by the pig. Despite this, they all drive eternal life, the Lotus of Life, as the Source code, like the cycle of life, on which they constantly leave their mark, in which they are constantly present, until awakening occurs through the recognition, acceptance, and conscious alchemy of shadows. The Lotus of Life itself is the extension of the Source, learning and evolving from every positive or negative situation. The lotus placed in the center of the triangle, with the fire quartz crystal programmed for awakening, is already the symbol of enlightenment, the crystal body of the new human. We move along the spiral from the outside towards the center of the triangle in a clockwise direction: connection to the Divine, the Divine Ancestors, the Divine Masculine, and through it to a state of balance, the future, Mother Nature, the All One. The Lotus itself: the symbol of purity, enlightenment, rebirth, flexibility, the diamond lotus symbol with quartz crystal, with fire in the center, the eternal flame of the soul, reinforced by quartz, the attainment of inner beauty/strength, personal growth/balance, hope. The triangle: symbol of the Holy Trinity, containing Fire and Water, like the Sun and Moon, the spiral dance of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine, which can move forward when they are in balance. The three angel wings around the triangle symbolize divine protection and guidance, spiritual growth, and the pursuit of higher ideals through a combination of angelic transcendence and the stability or wisdom of the triangle. Spiritual foundation: The wings surrounding the triangle symbolize that spiritual aspirations and freedom are rooted in a fundamental truth or belief. The angel wings symbolize divine guidance and protection, which support the human journey toward wisdom, balance, and spiritual elevation (triangle). The wings provide the tools necessary to rise above challenges, while the triangle symbolizes fundamental knowledge or Unity, keeping us grounded. As a personal reminder: let us live purposefully, align our intentions with our spiritual aspirations, and thus achieve personal growth. The seven white wings of the spiral symbolize the seven Archangels, spiritual freedom, and the journey from Earth to Heaven. The number 7 represents turning inward, facing the shadow side, becoming aware, and alchemizing it through spiritual awakening. The 10 spiritual meanings of the 10 angel wings: protection, hope, strength, freedom, transformation, ascension, divine communication, purity/innocence, harmony/balance.
