It is also the symbol in the chakra system for the energy centers in the subtle body. At the top of the head, the chakra is referred to as the thousand-petaled lotus. Like the awakened mind, the thousand petals symbolize awareness in every direction.

perfect sense .. you were perhaps a yogi in your last lifetime, with just a single craving left ... for junk food .. :-)

your point of view also nicely illustrates what i think atheists miss ... the divinity of existence, independent of whether there is a god or not to believe in ....

ok, more later, i have one more section to post on this symbols of the self stuff, then on to new topics...

enjoy, gregory

Hi Gregory,

You are right to question such a simple response to such a huge question. (You must forgive me - I was brought up on McDonalds, television, and Carnation Instant Breakfast!)

I guess what I was trying to articulate is that I have come to believe that WE (meaning all living things AND those things we do not yet understand) comprise an interdependent ecosystem/energy force - and this unknowable force is what I believe to be god.

Does this make ANY sense?

i am definitely not nitpicking ... (and at face value, when i saw your sentence, i say, agree) ...

it seems very necessary to make some distinctions in english for some of the subtle stuff .... example, in sanskrit there are three words, at least, for that WE, juva, atma, or brahman and depending on which you had used, i would know a LOT more about what your meaning was ...

but, yeah we are it ... :-)
