A Mandala of Ecosystemic Environments - the Terrestrial and the Cosmic |
The model is purposefully simplistic and correlates the ancient elements of nature (the elements of life) to the sensory manifestation of individual consciousness.
This key concept of environmental layering explores the observations of the similarities and differences contained in the specifications of the following natural environments:
The Outer Terrestrial Environment
The Inner Terrestrial Environment
Outwardly, the earth and sun
and moon are bound in journey;
Inwardly, the heart and soul
and mind are bound in journey.
Outer sunshine and the Inner Spirit -
these provide life to the realms.
The metaphysics of life hides
in the midst of natural simplicity.
