Mandala 15
«Strictly
speaking, a mandala is a density of particles, or points, around a central
point, which serves as a focus for all the rest. The patterns into which these
points can be arranged is infinite, and as such each and every potential
arrangement of points in a mandala has a real universal complement. Yet it is
not the specific arrangement of points in any individual mandala that is
important, but rather its inherent pattern. It need not be perfectly round or
symmetric or even pleasing to fulfill its purpose, it must only be. Its
very existence serves to represent the Universe as Microcosm, in all its
wondrous splendor, to translate the infinite majesty of the Cosmos for communion
with the human mind.
The mandala is a reflection of the true face
of the Universe-- its intricacy, its patterns, its nested systems, its natural
beauty. A sea of particles spans the Universe and each point in that ocean is
the center of a vast, Cosmic mandala that stretches endlessly in every
direction. Since there is no absolute center to the Universe, every point is a
center, and every element part of an intricate and harmonious pattern. This
includes us, our bodies and our minds, which have evolved from the constant,
continual movement of the essence of the Universe. This ever-present evolution,
that guides the Universe so fluidly, is found in the mandala as well, for every
mandala ever created and every one yet to be made holds a place in the fabric of
energy that flows through us and through everything that exists»
