Poem: The Gem of a Thousand Petals
From the muddy, stagnant terrain it rises,
A lotus, emerging in reverence of all the elements.
In the embrace of the Sun, the life force,
It stretches towards its light, basking in the warmth of existence.
The wind, with its gentle breath, caresses its being.
Whispering secrets of the eternal to its thousand petals.
It rests upon its lips like a lover’s kiss,
Soft yet filled with knowing.Each petal unfurls in sacred affirmation—
A declaration of sovereignty unto itself.
In the opening of its thousand petals,
It surrenders completely,
To the currents of life, to the unknown,
To the dance of the universe.It rises, not in defiance but in harmony,
With the elements guiding its soul
Through the waters of transformation.
In full surrender to all that is,
It blooms.
It is the gem,
The lotus of a thousand petals.

Extract from the Book herein:
The Lotus flower, revered across ancient cultures, religions, and sacred texts, stands as a timeless symbol of Rebirth, Transformation, Resilience, Purity, and Creation. Its journey is one of inspiration—a profound reminder of the beauty that can arise even from the murkiest waters. I remember a time when I felt lost, caught in the depths of uncertainty and personal struggle. Life’s challenges seemed overwhelming, and the path forward was shrouded in doubt. Yet, like the Lotus rising from muddy waters, I began to see the potential for growth within those moments.
Each challenge became a stepping stone, guiding me toward deeper understanding and self-discovery. Emerging unstained from the depths of mud and mire, the Lotus teaches us that life’s difficulties are not barriers but opportunities for transformation. Every hardship shapes us, enabling us to bloom into the radiant expressions of our true selves.
Join me in this sacred exploration—a journey of Knowing through Becoming, Healing, Self-liberation, Spiritual awakening, and the profound Interconnectedness of all existence. Together, we embrace all our relations—seen and unseen—with deep compassion and reverence. As we walk this path, we open ourselves to Truth, Transformation, and the deeper understanding of who we are truly meant to be.
Let us awaken to the beauty within and around us, as the Lotus does with every sunrise. Together, embark on a reflective journey of coming home to Self, awakening to the Divinity within. The self-realisation that we are spiritual beings, naturally encoded to fulfil this Divine Purpose of Oneness. It is a remembrance that Spirit chooses a vessel aligned with its mission—a vessel meant to execute its sacred task. This pilgrimage takes us to the heart of creation, where every step is a return to sacred roots that are rooted in ancient wisdom.
A journey that has made me reflect deeply on the sacred name Mma-Theo bestowed upon me by the Elders. It resonates deeply, carrying the essence of both the Nurturer and the Creator. It holds within it the Power of Life, Death, and Rebirth—a Bridge between the Earthly and the Divine. Like a tree whose branches reach toward the heavens while its roots anchor firmly into the earth, Mma-Theo embodies the balance between the seen and unseen realms. It evokes a profound reverence to live in alignment with this divine contract. A bridge between realms, honouring both the divine and secular roles I embody in this world and beyond.
I have come to understand that the elders’ naming ceremony was not merely a tradition but a deep acknowledgement of the powerful, creative essence I carry. The hub of the Triune Cosmic Powers—Creation, Destruction, and Preservation. A force that brings life into manifestation, nurturing its unfolding with wisdom and grace. The unfolding of the journey dawned the realisation that the awakening of self from the deep slumber is the awakening of the collective. The healing of self is the healing of the collective. In this sacred journey, there is no rush, no end—only the continuous unfolding of what lies within. It is a process of becoming, and through this becoming, the soul awakens to its true purpose: to nurture, to create, and to honour the divine in all things.
Poem: A Journey Through Sacred Roots
I walk the path where roots entwine,
The sacred earth beneath me shines.
In every step, a story told,
Of ancient wisdom, fierce and bold.Mma-Theo, the name I carry true,
A seed of creation, ever new.
In quiet strength, I bloom and grow,
Through sacred roots, my spirit flows.Nurturing the world with every breath,
A journey through life, through birth, through death.
From dust I rise, in light I stand,
A bridge between the stars and land.A Phrase for Reflection
Through the sacred roots of my being, I rise and bloom, ever connected to the Earth, the Stars, and the Eternal flow of Creation. In the journey of Self, I am both the Seed and the Harvest, ever Becoming, ever Returning.
