Every being
entering into the ineffable sanctuary of its own nature
finds there a symbol of the
Father of All…

Another stunning mandala, LIz. Great to discover 5th century Proclus and to see in his words from so long ago the sense of the “ineffable sanctuary” of God that lives within us all.

Liz, just how do you do it? How extraordinarily well you have captured the “ineffable sanctuary” in the magnificent mandala that keeps drawing us towards the Centre? Wow!

Proclus is an interesting fellow. Gave up being a lawyer to be a philosopher. Sometimes one forgets that being a lawyer is the second oldest profession.
Liz’s wonderful mandala talks about a symbol, a sign and the sanctuary of
The One.
The daughter. The mother. The father. The son. The One.
Two-gether they are One.
One hug needs two, yet it is One.LikeLike

Thank, you Maureen.
For me, the process of creating a mandala is a reflective one, helping me to center, and one that offers a path of self-discovery. As a spiritual art form, it allows for meaningful expressions of Love that can be shared with fellow caregivers.LikeLike

Much appreciated, Erie. Thank you.
To me the inner circle symbolizes God, or pure spiritual light. There is no beginning and there is no end, of spirit eternal and Love unending and union.
It is here that we are born and set out upon our journey in life, each following our own unique path and returning to the same unified source at journey’s end.LikeLike

Your insightful prose is a lovely gift to us, Jolyon. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Mandalas offer a process of integration and harmony as one begins to live in awareness of how all our differing parts are necessary in creating our wholeness. We begin to see that, the shadowy more fragile parts of ourselves are to be approached tenderly and with loving kindness and acceptance. Only then can our darkness join with light as God’s grace and transforming Love heals our woundedness.LikeLike
