A lotus flower indicates the open consciousness.



The red lotus is the presence of the Divine on earth; the sun is the Divine Truth. It indicates the Divine manifestation on earth raising earth consciousness towards the Truth.



The white lotus is the symbol of the Mother's consciousness, – it does not indicate any part of the individual consciousness.



The opening of the lotuses in your experience means, I suppose, the opening of the true vital and physical consciousness in which the spiritual being (the Swan) can manifest with all the consequences of that opening.
