Today’s Mandala
The Elements
“True self is non-self, the awareness
— Thich Nhat Hanh
that the self is made only of
non-self elements.
There’s no separation
between self and other,
and everything is interconnected.
Once you are aware of that
you are no longer caught in the idea
that you are a separate entity.”
“[An individual] is a microcosm,
— Paracelsus
or a little world, because [they are]
an extract from all the stars
and planets of the whole firmament,
from the earth and the elements;
and so [they are] their quintessence.”
“There’s a theory that says
— Bruce Lipton
that life is based on a competition
and the struggle and the fight for survival,
and it’s interesting because
when you look at the fractal character
of evolution, it’s totally different.
It’s based on cooperation
among the elements in the geometry
and not competition.”
Today’s MotD artistically demonstrates the interconnectivity of the elements that form us on all levels: the interchange, the sharing, the flow from all directions within the structures that bring us together as one.
It’s elementary.
