The Mandala Illustrated Story of Light - Paperback

by Narendra Joshi (Illustrator), Pravir Malik (Author)

The Mandala Illustrated Story of Light explores a journey of light into more and more concrete layers of matter and life, using mandalas as an aid to enter more deeply into the journey. The journey begins with the slowing down of light to c, which is posited to have resulted in a big bang from which the process of the creation of the layers of matter began. Light projects properties of itself in each surfacing layer of matter and erects pathways, as it were, by which all of existence is structured. An initial layer is that of the wavearchetype-electro-magnetic-masspotential spectrum. This is followed by quantum particles as light-property accumulations. These in turn create atoms, then molecules, and subsequently cells. Each of these layers has been architected by the innate four-foldness inherent in light. Human experience, including sensations, urges, emotions, feelings, will, and thought, and subsequently, the structure of civilization is also seen to be projections of the four-foldness innate in light. This story reveals a deep oneness and because of that an innate power that exists in all creations, and reveals something of the deep mystery of Light.
