#nefertim

I always loved the lotus motif and since walking my path in the Egyptian mysteries I’m particularly fond of the blue lotus, which actually is a water lily.

About a year ago one evening I sat on my sofa, relaxing, when I suddenly felt a piercing pain in my ribs. There was no physical source for that. It had an energetic source. So I sat with that pain, being aware, opening myself to it. When I asked the energy about its identity, the answer was astonishingly clear:

Nefertim

Not Nefertem. It was clearly Nefertim and looking them up I came across Nefertem, god of the blue lotus and son of Ptah! That got me curious, so once again I tuned in to connect with Nefertim and received an amazing insight:

The Nefertim are a collective of all the blue lotus seeds that there ever were, are and will be.

Whenever I see lotus, I remember this quote: NO MUD, NO LOTUS. It’s a flower associated with enlightenment, but for me it’s intimately connected to shadow work. The mud at the bottom of my consciousness, that needs to be stirred up now and then to rise to the surface so that I can bring it to my awareness and transform it into something that will resemble the beauty of the blue lotus blossoms.

That’s what the Nefertim come to teach me now and then. Recently I see blue lotus a lot and it makes perfect sense. It fits this time of the year, when the days are getting shorter and shorter and the darkness is stretching out more and more.

Life is not all love and light. We need the darkness and there is no reason to be afraid of it. Even in the deepest pits the Nefertim will share their bright seeds with you, if you wish for it.
