Aontacht - Volume 7 Issue 3

when we say to ourselves “I will speak ofemotions and with emotion". Themandala is the intent and as soon it isthought- thus it is so! It is now theportal, the interface through which WEflow and communicate using thelanguage of emotion to do so.“Hold on!" you may say. “Whathappened to that beautiful graphicmandala I just created? Is it not theMandala?” It is and it is not. The intentis the Mandala, the source and theopening of the interface. It is thewillingness to open it that is theMandala, while the opening of it - the actof creating it is also the Mandala. Theimage is the evidence of that flow andcommunication. The thoughts behind theflow are the Mandala. The flow is theMandala. The change in consciousnessand resulting increase in awareness is theMandala!.. I know- it is all a paradoxwheelswithin wheels and worlds withinworlds.It helps if we think of the Mandala (inwhatever form it takes- as thought,graphic image, sound etc.) as a"shimmering window" - a plate of glassthat we do not really see - it is like the airbetween where we are and what we arelooking at -where we are now and whatwe are becoming. So, I guess it is anotherway of saying - do not get hung up on theimage, or the Mandala as object- considerit the window- the open space that WEopen ourselves simply by intending to doso. It IS the, oncedone, easily forgotten as what we reallybecome aware of is how we have changedin that process and THAT is all that weneed - the experience and thetransformation, the increase inawareness and the expansion ofconsciousness- the awareness ofourselves as ever changing divine beings.Event: 3 day Shamanistic HealingEvent at Arathusa Healing Arts Centre,41651 Brandon Rd, Brussels ON–N0G 1H0, in lovely Huron CountyA Healing Event using sound, Mandalas,visioning and Sacred Geometry.
