Metaphysical Imaginings Here’s a clue to understanding trans-dimensional mandalas: The problem with dimensionality is that humans are not only egocentric and ethnocentric, but they believe that they are the only intelligent beings in the universe (ha!); some even believe they’re the only life-form in a cosmos of hundreds of billions of galaxies (ha ha!); and […]

Essential Manifestation: Auxiliary Functions As said in Confabulations 25, the cosmos unfolds, blossoms like a flower. It “manifests.” In the pictures below this metaphysical (truly!) idea is diagrammed here below (click to enlarge): The center form is the main manifestation, a theme in many of my mandala drawings. Imagine very gradually poking a three dimensional […]

God isn’t that much a show-off, but the game is to extract the optimal degree of aesthetic enjoyment from anything. So it’s good do dance, to feel, but it’s also good a little to be seen. The size of the audience is a factor, but more, the willingness of the audience to appreciate. (As I […]

The cosmos unfolds, blossoms like a flower. It “manifests.” For decades I have been given pictures I’m am impelled to draw-doodle. They begin as a ritual, with some geometric forms, and then the muse gradually takes over and fills them in. Mandalas unfold. Technically, they are differentiated mandalaforms, because they don’t have the clean symmetry […]

More Low-Down on the Higher-Ups Well, of course I can’t begin to begin to know a zillionth of what it’s all about, but I have managed to glimpse a peek: We all have a platoon of angels. Each person has a bunch. They are not completely like humans with clear boundaries. Using my special dimension-oscope, […]

Implicate Orders The “Order” of the Universe There is a certain order in the cosmos that interacts with the order-ing functions of human minds to give a semblance of “out-there” order, but the more we look the more we find mystery and certain features that don’t exactly fit. Then we conscious beings need to go […]

Multi-Dimensional Mind A conference I attended in late June, 2012 (The British Psychodrama Association Conference west of London) has as its theme Innovations and Integrations. What struck me about the design (above), which is fine, is that it draws on the metaphor of mechanism, clockworks, gears. Someone observed that the mind in its complexity tends […]

A Book Report on Peter Rabbit Note: In 2009 I played the role of Linus in our Sun City Texas Theatre Club production of the 1969 Off-Broadway musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, based on the cartoon strip, Peanuts. I played Linus, and in the play several of us were asked to do a “Book […]

Cosmic Soup Infinite Permutations In the cosmic soup at a certain level, it looks like what you see on the right. Each entity is only a projection of a multi-dimensional “being” (and Humans are hard-pressed to imagine even what such a “being” is like, much less conceive of dimensions other than their own three dimensions […]

Explaining Explaining There are times my meandering thoughts seem inexplicable, I have been told. Alas. I mark this up to the possibility of there being ambiguous alternative interpretations I didn’t think of. If one considers the sheer depth of meaning inherent in whatever, and / or further meanings, not to speak of analogies and reflections […]
