The idea of a ballet, it being a cluster of scenes, these being five color
schemes for easy reference, then delineating the various worlds, the
human characters now being turned into animals, all except the little
monk, the old sage, and the sorceress, who now had an expanded role,
she being the foil for our hero, she being the sexual epicenter, and she
being connected to the butterfly, which now drove the desire-line,
which was the key to the plot, which symbolized PEACE, but which
symbolized POWER to the opponents, there also being these five colored
worlds, reflecting the five Buddha energies, all living on Swyambu
Hill, there being dream worlds in the middle, and heavy action in them
as they progressively collide, as alliances are made, as different energies
spill into new worlds, as revelations keep piling on top of one another,
hurling the audience to the final revelation, thus uniting the final tag
with the opening teaser, the new tag world being the teaser world transformed,
seeing thus the new mandala’s birth as terribly breath-taking.
And so what did this all really
mean?
That the first and second layers were completed and then fused into
one, the fugue map being half accomplished, the clues for the next two
layers being hidden in the mandala, the artist being continually distracted
by logistical problems, of Nepal being a struggle from the word
“GO,” of the yellow world introducing the narrator, the Little Monk
and Belle, his birdlike side-kick, of the green world introducing, the
sorceress Diamond and the first silly opponent, Higgens, emphasizing
the butterfly search, propelling the story along and pushing the growing
alliance into the subsequent worlds, where Yogurt the turtle is found
and where the battle with the monkeys and lizards climaxes the story,
with each world adding a crucial revelation, the crazy American
Buddhist hitting bottom, the Lama’s wife cheering him up, telling him
about a mysterious telephone at another monastery, a telephone with a
long-distance line, this being too good to be true, the story finally starting
to crack, oh so precipitately and so mysteriously.
