This work is definitely needed on a global scale. I have witnessed said dance and dancer that made me want to hide behind a chair as well! Excellent writing. I truly appreciate your thoughtful stacks. Always a delight.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯👍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Your best stack yet!!! Thank you for listening to the inspiration to write this, it is and will be very much needed in the future.

As an eclectic childhood, with a wonderful but damaged mother- constantly seeking refuge in various religions of the world, i have experienced most of the different main dogmas. None and yet all, incorporate this understanding of mandorlas, although often too subtly discussed (imop). We are both light and dark, heaven and earth, when we are in balance. As above, so below.

Your piece is fantastically written because it breaks down the true power of healing, into less complicated concepts. There have been others that have done the same through the far simpler, modern psychotherapy phrase, "deal with your own $#!@ first."😉 But your explanation is more detailed😉

My personal favourite for the modern interpretation is Ice-Ts, "Check yourself, before your wreck yourself!". But I'm a simple creature😉🤣😂 thank you again for writing this piece, it's reminded me of much loved concepts, and Merry Christmas.😊

Thank you so much for this wonderful article!

I know this probably sounds silly but since I was a child I've been doodling when I'm bored, next to the sides of my lists, waiting on hold. If there is an envelope in the house it's likely to have a note to self with doodles on the back. I didn't realize I'm doodling mandalas until I looked them up right now. 🤣 I make mandalas of petals, waves, triangles, half circles, hearts, scrollwork, sunbeams with each beam projecting out larger and larger or smaller and smaller, sometimes twisting like flames, others straight. It is very soothing.

Excellent. The mandorla is also known as the vesica piscis. There is an awesome book called A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO CONSTRUCTING THE UNIVERSE by Michael S. Schneider. I highly highly recommend that you check out this book. The subtitle is The Mathematical Archetypes Of Nature, Art, And Science: a voyage from one to ten.

As a follower of Jung, you may know that he also used astrology to give him initial insights into his patients' difficulties.
