The scarab represents birth, life, death, and resurrection. As we go through this cycle it’s hard to understand why humanity chooses to keep hurting each other. To live in the world and understand this is not what we are meant for is painful for mind, body and soul.
In Buddhism the blue lotus means the victory of spirit over the senses, and the triumph is wisdom over suffering. So while we go through this cycle we need to understand that it takes changing ourselves first, to then change the world.
