The rose as a sexual symbol.

[danny]

The rose per se is a sexual symbol, it is physically a sexual organ.
And I can't stop me of thinking when in a Rosicrucian Temple the apron
that we wear puts the rose exactly on Yesod, or Shwadishtana.

Yes, connecting Tipharet with Malkuth, express our human-ness, goes
through sexuality.

And sexuality unfolds, develops, cometh from pure physical attraction
to symbiosis and polarity.
It is more like a Tao sign, this equilibrium of unphysical sexuality.

Isn't it for nothing, that sexual energy and psychical one are same ?

The value of such symbols it that they can imply many things, and what
a particular person sees may say more about the person than the
symbol.

R+C is more than a rose, and a rose is more than just the flower. So
we need to extend the idea much further to apply it.

Wouldn't the Svadisthana cakra be more Yesod? Muladhara being
Malkuth. The glyph of the R+C being, like the Ankh, a symbol of the
entire Tree. There can be more than one rose, they can be other
colors etc.

If you are going to get into cakras most if not all of them are
flowers, with varying numbers of petals. Then there are nadi points
etc. The flowers have roots, leaves and there is something lurking at
the base. This rose has a serpent in it's midst! Perhaps the nature
of this serpent is more in line with your sexual symbolism.

Ultimately all energy must be of the same continuity. I think there
are nuances that require focusing upon. I don't usually want to be in
a Shamanic State of Consciousness when lovemaking, and I don't
necessarily want to be sexually focused when in that state of being.
There may be times when both can work well together.
