When you flip the double helix strand of DNA so you peer down it’s axis, it appears as a mandala like structure. And In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means “circle.” Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. “It's all about finding peace in the symmetry of the design and of the universe,” says artist Saudamini Madra. We are the universe.
This is so weird. I heard Uberboyo talking about mandalas and I know a physicist who uses the coloring books. I purchased one and some markers, and yesterday I got started. It took me hours to finish one and I was instantly transported back to when I was a child and drawing and coloring was the only thing that could shut off my ADD head. Trippy.

Mandalas have always captured my attention for how intricate each of it's layers are, just like a human being, with most of them starting out from an empty, blank, white or black core, reminding me that the meaning of our life is what we make of it throughout our journey. Great video as always!
Me? Yeah, I'm alright. A bit cocky, but I can never spell 'intelligence' unless I look it up. And I love spelling. That and 'counseling' without looking it up. I mean, I have improved, but every time I reach these words I cease my progress and wander off to the dictionary. Therefore cracking the window of thought. Fk! *You ever get that?
@@gen-x-zeke8446 Try to learn as many synonyms of words as possible. For example; To think->ruminate->cogitate->meditate... To hate->scorn->loathe->abhor... etc. When you encounter a new word, read it mindfully then write it down along with words that are close to it, and then use it in a sentence of your own. This way, when you're writing or explaining something, that new word will have a much higher chance of being magnetic. It worked for me, so I am very much curious if it works for you.
@@qodaeus I used to have a thesaurus by my side and I would always substitute words. In my writing class this semester, I learned a lot of simplicity in my writings. I feel like it depends on the mood of the piece, you know? If it's something scary I am surely going to make it as graphic and powerful as I feel like...yet with pinches of human's 'Being' as in it makes one almost root for the bad guy due to where he came from. It's very difficult to pull off but my serial killer character; Andrew J. Faulkner has me going in several directions because to be simple; "He's trying to change", but the primitive beast inside is too powerful. I appreciate your pointers (there is always something to add to the writer's busy mind). There is always a story to tell within the story you're telling because after all; the killer is truly the killer in my primitive brain just like everyone else. Humans come from the "Kill or are Killed" worlds and to this day we see this action all around in society and nobody ever mentions that: "To the man inside the beast, is the beast in the man"
Manufactured procrastinations make it very hard to come back into feeling the true self especially when everyone else does the same. It takes discipline to recognize when I am about to engage in a MP activity. I noticed they take many forms, eating, watching shit on tv, watching shit on my smartphone. It's easy to immerse the senses into these external things because when I don't and I remain in presence I become overwhelmed by feelings of nihilism. Not all the time, most of the time I can achieve peace while present, but maybe that's why there are manufactured procrastinations in the first place? To distract from looming feelings of our own mortality. What do you think? @thoughtsonthinking
Manufactured procrastination is an insidious form of self-sabotage. I think we rationalize it when what we actually need is “deep rest”. I call deep rest simply relaxing, free of distraction, just like meditation, napping or actually sleeping. Instead, what we do is engage in mindless entertainment, social media, replying to UA-cam comments, video games, google searched... These don’t constitute rest as they keep us stimulated, although in vain.

Jung worked in collaboration with the Physicist Wolfgang Paul; they delved into what Jung called "the no-man's land between Physics & the Psychology of the unconscious", into the deep connection between our minds (Psyche) and the fundamental make up of the universe (Matter), between Analytical Psychology and Natural Science.

Sone time ago I smoked weed. I was alone, it was 5am, my eyes and mind were tired as hell. As I looked through some pictures in my gallery. I stopped at a photo that was me. Then, I suddenly realized, that the structure of the picture was changing on the screen. And I looked down, and through the corner of my eyes, I saw a geometrical perfect, really complex, small and yellow mandala shining on the surface of the phone.....Now, my vision was already blurred by the tiredness of my eyes, as well as the slight psychedelic effect of the weed. But what I saw was so accurate, that I can still recall the impression that it gave me.nNow, as I tried to look directly at the mandala, it disappeared from my eyes, but when I looked at it from the corner of my eyes it was there. But weirdly nowhere else then on the screen of my phone. After that I went to bed terrified and shoked. The days after, I looked at images or articles which could represent or confirm what I saw, but it seems to me that it was a very unique abstract experience. But I would LOVE to hear someone telling me they saw something similar... or maybe explain the meaning behind it... I feel like there is something I´m supposed to understand, a hint or something but I don't really get it
That's quite fascinating. For me, for as long as I can remember, since maybe when I was a child... whenever I'm in the dark or focusing on staring at something for too long, or especially if I close my eyes whilst I'm still awake... I do see something resembling a Mandala, but it looks more like a wall of eyes that continually move closer and closer to me and then eventually expand to my entire field of field until it dissipates. Then the process repeats itself again. It starts off small and then it expands, and in the middle of the wall of eyes, there's one big eye. Some cynics can easily write it off as illusions/delusions from a lot of sunlight exposure... but for me, it's remarkable. It still remains a mystery to me in what it could mean. But perhaps this video may help direct me in figuring it out in a way that enriches my life and the lives of others.
I feel like we are the product purely of the past and that there is never a now because once the hand strikes 12, it doesn't actively Stop to be 12, it passes by and 12 becomes the past. My equation is this: [-1y + 1x= 0e ], so the 'Now' is the illusion and so, therefore, the Self is only experienced as the past, or it cannot be an experience. Unless of course by simple planning, we are experiencing some future?? So, we aren't a 'Now' or a 'Self'. Close, but not quite. The illusion is that because if anything, we are just micro-cells inside a massive program, inside a massive universe-that we can also hold in our hand as a single drop of rain. [ -1y + 1x= 0e ]. *y as in 'year' of past; x as in 'passage' portals, continuations, and 0e I feel would stand for eternal. So, "Year+Passage+Continuation= 'Eternal' OR perhaps 'Energy'? **Please elaborate, if you would**
@@soumillll I have seen the -1 + 1=0 somewhere else recently on a UA-cam video about Fractals (Mandelbrot), though I have been holding on to that "basic equation" since 2007 when describing opposite lover; one is the negative one, one is the positive one and together they are nothing at all. So, I'm not sure about letters because I am not a physicist by any means. I love philosophy from a variety of "Selves", and it is well-earned wisdom because after all; I am not studying to 'know' more, I am studying to Know Less. I don't want Self, that is dangerous because after searching for years and decades, I would say that it doesn't fkn want to be possessed. I'm not slamming "suiciders" because I have been down that word. "I never wanted to live so bad until the day I was ready to die"- That's mine as far as I realize. I do not "Want" to "Know". You know? lol
Why choose the desert to "symbolize" The Unfolding Self? Is it because human experience in deserts produces the optical illusions we name "mirage?" Which is defined as, 1. an illusion sometimes seen at sea, in the desert, or over hot pavement that looks like a pool of water or a mirror in which distant objects are seen inverted 2. something illusory and unattainable like a mirage. Do such phenomenological experiences reflect the "mirror" like nature of that foundational sense of our everyday mind, "memory?" Is our normal perception of reality mirage-like in the way we "project" the remembered names of objective reality onto reality, as though the name of any object we see, is the reality of that object? While the innate (inborn) illusion\mirage all human beings suffer from, and one that becomes most glaringly present within clear blue sky desert environments, is the optical illusion of Sun-Rise? And given that the cause of this optical illusion is now taught to grade school students as the light of day & dark of night experience produced by Earth Axis Rotation, why has there not been a paradigm shift in thinking about reality, as it really is? And given that no human being on the planet is born "linguistic" & 21st-century neuroscience continues to explore Sir Charles Sherington's 1951 statement "the motor act is the cradle of the mind," which all Mothers know from their "visceral" experience of the "reflexive" activity of our human nervous system, why, to paraphrase a popular song, are we still looking for our selves "out-there?" Is it because, despite our postured pretense of being a fully conscious self capable of making the right choices in life, we are driven by the hard-wired nature of "fate," that resides within the unseen reality of our mammalian nervous system? The perennial nature of our conscious mind's analogous sense-of-self, which now sees well-educated people suggest that we are adaptive machines might benefit from synthesizing all the neuroscience revelations of the 20th-century. revelations that confirm the unseen nature of our human self revolves around the motor-activity (for want of a better analogy) of our heart\lungs "respiratory sinus arrhythmia" action that produces a "vagal-tone," which in turn "affects" a "cerebral-tone" within our skull? Anyway, on a more poetic note, is it high time we stopped looking for our self, "out there?" But tell me, did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way To see the lights all faded And that heaven is overrated? Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star? One without a permanent scar And then you missed me While you were looking for yourself out there? ua-cam.com/video/6jiBEztS_uY/v-deo.html
The unfolding self is the Mandala, the Self is the desert, the place of solitude, a place beyond thoughts, ideas, people and events, the desert of the real is what remains when you strip all of that away in my view.
@@ThoughtsonThinking Please read Carl Jung's thoughts on our need to "awaken" from our "unwitting" process of UNCONSCIOUS PROJECTIONS? "As we know, it is not the conscious subject but the unconscious which does the projecting. Hence one meets with projections, one does not make them. The effect of projection is to isolate the subject from his environment, since instead of a real relation to it there is now only an illusory one. Projections change the world into the replica of one's own unknown face. In the last analysis, therefore, they lead to an autoerotic or autistic condition in which one dreams a world whose reality remains forever unattainable. The resultant sentiment d'incompletude and the still worse feeling of sterility are in their turn explained by projection as the malevolence of the environment, and by means of this vicious circle the isolation is intensified. The more projections are thrust in between the subject and the environment, the harder it is for the ego to see through its illusions. A forty-five-year-old patient who had suffered from a compulsion neurosis since he was twenty and had become completely cut off from the world once said to me: "But I can never admit to myself that I've wasted the best twenty-five years of my life!" It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going. Not consciously, of course-for consciously he is engaged in bewailing and cursing a faithless world that recedes further and further into the distance. Rather, it is an unconscious factor which spins the illusions that veil his world. And what is being spun is a cocoon, which in the end will completely envelop him." - Carl Jung, AION

The unfolding self is the Mandala, the Self is the desert, the place of solitude, a place beyond thoughts, ideas, people and events, the desert of the real is what remains when you strip all of that away in my view.
@@ThoughtsonThinking Please read Carl Jung's thoughts on our need to "awaken" from our "unwitting" process of UNCONSCIOUS PROJECTIONS? "As we know, it is not the conscious subject but the unconscious which does the projecting. Hence one meets with projections, one does not make them. The effect of projection is to isolate the subject from his environment, since instead of a real relation to it there is now only an illusory one. Projections change the world into the replica of one's own unknown face. In the last analysis, therefore, they lead to an autoerotic or autistic condition in which one dreams a world whose reality remains forever unattainable.
The resultant sentiment d'incompletude and the still worse feeling of sterility are in their turn explained by projection as the malevolence of the environment, and by means of this vicious circle the isolation is intensified. The more projections are thrust in between the subject and the environment, the harder it is for the ego to see through its illusions. A forty-five-year-old patient who had suffered from a compulsion neurosis since he was twenty and had become completely cut off from the world once said to me: "But I can never admit to myself that I've wasted the best twenty-five years of my life!"
It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going. Not consciously, of course-for consciously he is engaged in bewailing and cursing a faithless world that recedes further and further into the distance. Rather, it is an unconscious factor which spins the illusions that veil his world. And what is being spun is a cocoon, which in the end will completely envelop him." - Carl Jung, AION

The references to Carl Jung and Alan Watts are misleading and in very bad taste with the 'elitist' tone of the video.
Great,Jesus part was not necessary though.Neither is my comment,to be fair.
