Thanks for those lyrics, rag doll. Very interesting.
I was also thinking about the Parable of the Wedding Feast.
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.' But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

Answer
The lotus flower has a unique characteristic in that it blooms and sheds its seeds at the same time. In the context of Buddhism, the theory of karma says that, just like the lotus flower, our life is made up of cause and effect. Every cause -- be it action, word or thought -- will imprint an effect that can be seen in this lifetime or in future lives.
Answer
In Buddhist paintings and sculpture, the Buddha is often seated on a lotus flower. The lotus produces a beautiful flower even with its roots in the dirtiest water. The symbolism is that a person can rise above being rooted in the ugliness and suffering of this world, and should try to be pure and help others with the beauty of the spirit.
Answer
The lotus also played a role in the religious symbolism of ancient Egypt, although the papyrus is more common in surviving works of art. A discussion of the Egyptian symbolism of both flowers appears at: <!-- m -->http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/flowers.htm<!-- m -->
Answer
In addition to the above, the lotus signifies that even the dirtiest water will not cling to the lotus (pure in spirit). Try sprinkling water on a lotus leaf and it will just roll off.
Answer
The lotus flower is believed to be able to reproduce from its own matrix. In this regard, it is the symbol of "self-regeneration" -- svayambhû in Sanskrit. Svayambhû can also mean "self-existent" and "independent." One often sees the lotus as the throne upon which the Buddha sits. Here, the Buddha is the symbol of the awakened Mind, which is self-existent, independent, and self-regenerating.
thank you for posting that article...very interesting. so Lotus and the sun together is a symbol for love?! well that of course reminds me of the sunflowers^^
I'm curious about this, also. If thisisalmostit has over 700 followers, why is it only a handful of us that are discussing this Tweeter, and on this site only? Shouldn't there be more people willing to share their opinion? <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->

"Wedding Feast" / Prince
Brother dear brother,I came as quickly as I could
The Digital Haze is broken,The Banished Ones r gone 4 good, gone 4 good
Now there must b a wedding/Now there must b a feast
A feast, a feast/A smorgasbord at least
A brunch, a munch/Of cake if just a piece
Not just a vat of chitlins/Or turkey meat u c
We r what we eat/So we must eat a leaf
We'll dine under a tree/Unless it snows!

Back to my padded cell now.
What is more important,,, the message or the messenger?
True, very true, you're right, it's a pity, for me the messenger also matters a bit..... <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
that's exactly what I answered him..I said well the message is more important...but the messenger is very important as well in our situation^^
or vice-versa- the messenger is the message.
...
But like truthseeker said, if it's a message, you kind of can't have one without the other.
yepp..that's what I ask myself as well <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) --> <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
