This
is a classic Mandala. The sky and
the heavens are above. Unlike
our personal quest for harmony, this is a place of perpetual
balance. Day and night define each other in yielding opposition.
In
the middle we are
caught in the pull from each side; the masculine influence of the
sun, and the feminine influence of the moon. Cosmic awareness
above, and
physical manifestation below.
Beyond
the earthly rhythms are an infinite number of similar cycles happening
in an
infinite number of other worlds. We can not use our normal senses
to embrace the vastness of the universe .
That is where intuition, the
sixth sense comes in. Intuition allows us to have awareness of the
otherwise imperceptible. This sense is represented in many cultures
as the third
eye.
The third eye, is represented here as awareness of the universe.
The Masculine pull of the Sun.
The Feminine pull of the Moon.
