Mandala ProcessThe story of our lives reflects themes that portray our karmic interest in resolving our trials andtribulations, fulfilling our successes, and exploring new terrains of understanding. These themes reflectour destiny. The soul has objectives of transformation and fulfillment. These two are different in thesense that transformation leads with karma, unresolved issues, limiting or destructive consequences,and beliefs, causing internal division, or conflict, with our divine nature or holiness. Intentionality, plustrauma, plus choice, plus constructed beliefs, equals limitation or distorted perception. The issue,consternation, and problematic situations reflect a theme. These themes are agendas fortransformation. The intended soul outcome is symbolically embedded, as metaphor and symbol, in theimages of the artwork.On the other hand, fulfillment leads with themes of life-long learning, reflected in each learningevent. Themes for life-long learning reflect in each learning event. These themes are like threads thatstring together the developmental events of our life. The themes are goals of fulfillment, or new thingswe want to do, achieve or experience. Terms like karma and dharma are popular these days. We look atour karma like we are doing penance for bad deeds. Karma is actually opportunity. Our opportunitiesdiscover, resolve, and elaborate our deepest interest. Karma is basically being stuck in our belief aboutwhat we did or what happened to us. Dharma is more like life fulfilling a service. Karmic and dharmicthemes hold us to physical life. For example, Jesus’ dharma was to bring salvation. Buddha’s dharmawas to bring enlightenment. Mother Theresa’s was to bring comfort to the forgotten suffering, wherenone had been present. So with the mandala, we explore both karmic and dharmic themes. The processof doing so heals, transforms, and empowers fulfillment. We are ultimately here to discover and fulfillour deepest nature. That is our a-priori intention.As I developed the Mandala Process from my use of art, exploration of Energy Medicine,spiritual realization and comparison to quantum physics, I realized that the historical use of mandalaswas a form of spiritual physics. Our unconscious mind was an expression of Akasha. Mandalas hadenabled us to bridge realities - the reality where life appears discrete, and the reality in which life isunified. Mandalas reflect human individuals as beings that bridge heaven and earth, and thus, as theancients also practiced, are able to mediate and transform the situations and circumstances of theirlives. In the Mandala Process, our art-making enables us to enter the A-field and directly edit the codesthat inform reality. The Mandala Process is such an effective transformer because it integrates theintentionality of our soul’s purpose, the dynamic archetype of the cosmic person, the historical use ofmandalas, the urge of all our unresolved issues wanting to be made whole, the revelation of living as areflection of our emerging consciousness (life as mirror), the unity field that enables the information ofthe Akasha (quantum coherence) to configure life events and structures. This integration occurs throughskillful means, by awakening our energetic sensitivity and making art.Much of my continued discovery and evolution of the Mandala Process came through teaching.With the forgoing thoughts as a backdrop, we can unpack the various elements through application.
