The Golden Mandala

     My current favorite vision transformed by contemplation of the Philosopher's Stone is what I call "The Golden Mandala".  Many wonderful examples, shining like the Sun, can be found on...Google Images...

...The Great Mandala...

"Take your place on the Great Mandala
as it moves through your brief moment of time.
Win or lose now, you must choose now,
and if you lose you're only losing your life"
Peter, Paul and Mary

 ...We may be like specks in the Great Mandala of the Universe...

specks on a "tiny" ball of a planet we call Earth

which orbits a "tiny" average ball of a Star we call the Sun

which orbits around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy with about 200 billion other balls of Stars

(So let's have a ball!)

and our Galaxy is but 1 of about 200 billion

And now we think there may be Infinite Universes, also larger and smaller

...Mandala's may come in infinite variety...

...from the center of your heart...

  ...Transcendent...

...ever changing and yet unchanged...

and YOU are a part of The Great Mandala!

Sir Isaac Newton and the "Lapis Philosophicus"

     

     The father of modern physics and the inventor of calculus believed he found the closely guarded blueprint for the Philosopher's Stone (this according to discovermagazine.com).  It appears that his work in chemistry grew out of his work with alchemy!  His interest in mysticism is today coming more and more to light.  Doctor J. Allen Hynek writes that occasionally scientists sense the presence of the intangible, awesome domain of the unknown and that Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists who ever lived, was one who did (quoting Newton):

     I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself, now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

  ...This "Great ocean of Truth" may now be revealed...

The Big Bang

Cosmic Plasma

Stars are ORGASMIC!

,in other words,

Divine Love

Blissful

Proof of God

Emblem XXI from Atalanta Fugiens

 

...From the alchemical book of emblems, epigrams and musical fugues "Atalanta Fugiens" (Atalanta in Flight) published in 1617 (about 400 years ago) by Michael Maier we receive this information:

     Make of the man and woman a Circle, of that a Quadrangle, of this a Triangle, of the same a Circle and you will have the Stone of the Philosophers.

Notice that within these simple geometric forms, within the central circle we see male and female together (like yin and yang), unified...
 

"Squaring the Circle"

  ...As can be seen, this Vision offers a "Blueprint" for the Philosopher's Stone...
the Circle,
Square,
and Triangle
simple Platonic Forms
when combined lead to 3.1416...pi
Transcendental

"Circling the Square"

and let's remember
E=mc²

...Energy equals mass times the speed of light (circle) squared...
