A MAN STUDYING A MANDALA IN FRONT OF HIM, WITH THE HELP OF A VERY ANCIENT
BOOK
Commentary:
The Symbol ‘A Man Studying a Mandala in Front of Him’ shows someone intent on
gaining insight and meaning through ‘Study’. He is ‘Studying’ a ‘Mandala’ which may be
in the form of a picture, design or structure. This can be anything from an astrology
chart, to an architectural drawing to a sacred image, etc. The ‘Mandala’ is often a
collection of ideas and possibilities, experiences and lessons, and history and
mythology. These things can be presented as a kind of tapestry. He is ‘Studying’ this
‘With the Help of a Very Ancient Book’; it has clues and answers from ages past.
Looking to the “secret mysteries” can reveal answers to life’s questions, and how best
to proceed.
Oracle:
You may be attempting to understand what these “secret mysteries”, mentioned above,
may mean in the current context and applying it to the relevance of today. You may be
puzzled by the deeper meanings of the subject you’re ‘Studying’ or trying to unravel.
Reverting to traditional answers is not always easy in the present day. The key to
deciphering these mysteries is in traditional knowledge and wisdom. Adopting a plan or
a strategy is a good idea, as is following “the rules of the book”. With devices like the
Internet and television, the quicker options are usually chosen. These methods have
their merits, but they can be enhanced further when teamed up with the older, more
tried and true answers. Perhaps you feel “boxed in” by your situation. You must seek
what is already known in order to understand what’s happening. If a plan is adopted,
make sure it is based on sound principles and everything should work out. Patience,
research and respect for the past are all vital elements here. A teacher is likely to
appear. Much will be learnt and revealed.
Keywords:
Concentration. Overcoming obstacles by gaining control of one’s inner and outer life.
Architecture and strategic planning. Lessons to be learnt from history. Astrology,
numerology, tarot. Systems of thought that are laid out. Maps. The rules of warfare—
anything with a strategy. Drawing strength and inspiration from squares and circles.
Inward attention. Mandalas.
WW1 Armistice Signed -Jupiter
The Caution:
Ignoring the old wisdom for modern rational systems. Lack of imagination. Going into a e better of others by out
strategizing them. Not wanting to put in the work.
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
