| Kaleidoscope Images |
| Mandala The kaleidoscope image takes on meaningful significance when it is associated with the age-old mandala. Mandala, quite simply, is a circular symbol of wholeness. It is a circle expanding from its individual center as it interrelates with other circles, radiating from their center, all being one with the creative universal source. It is a circle whose center is everywhere and whose bounds are nonexistent. |
| There are three basic elements inherent in both the mandala and the kaleidoscope: a center, cardinal points, and symmetry. In a mandala, as in the patterns of a kaleidoscope, a succession of interlinkings are unified into one whole. Each piece is a vital part of that whole, no matter how small. Take one piece away and the image is not quite the same. |
| Beyond its inherent beauty and captivating magic, the kaleidoscope symbolizes life - a mandala in action. Man is the center. The awakening of intelligence is the first radiating circle, spiraling from the center and proceeding from there, each person's mandala is as individual and distinctively different as a fingerprint. |
