Universal Mandala - Circle of Circles
Untangling Reality (Absolute Relativity)
The symbol at left is a universal mandala. It is a mandala of mandalas, or a circle of unending circles. The universal mandala is a symbol that describes all entities, demonstrating the basic on-off dynamics common to all entities and processes, real, ideal, physical, psychological, philosophical, scientific, mathematical, artistic and linguistic.
The mandala is one, two, or three sets of (opposite) opposite pairs (depending on an observation which is always arbitrary and completely up to the observer). We can label these: on, off, in-between; yes, no, maybe; zero, one, neither, both; or any other set of opposite pair-names we choose (energy, mass, light; form, substance, sound). (Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, respiration, digestion, reproduction, movement, etc.) An entity is a process and a process is an entity (circle is line or diameter and line is circle or circumference; one showing, the other hidden; one concrete, the other abstract).
One Circle, Two Pairs, Three Choices
Two (or three) sets of opposite pairs produce two circles as four 'states' and six perspectives. An observer can 'see' or 'name' the circles, states, and perspectives in many (an unlimited number of) different ways. (We can never agree on the 'naming' and we will, and must, continue to find more and more names for the basic four states and six perspectives.) (See opposite pairs, and why and how they exist.) Any opposite pair forms a circle. One side of an opposite pair evolves, revolves, or rotates, into the other. One side of a pair 'shows' while its opposite 'hides.' Day or night is an easy way to understand how the mandala works. For any given 'reality' we can only 'see' one/quarter to one/half of the 'reality.' The other one/half, or three/quarters, is hidden. The parts of reality we cannot 'see' create a misunderstanding of time (hidden, abstract entities are present even though they are not present). 
We can deduce reality by placing any word on the mandala and abstracting the opposite.
Partial Views - 49-51% Mistake-Making
All observations are partial views of an opposite dynamic, which means everything we think we know (by observation) is always partially incorrect. (We only see 1/4 of the mandala.) We are all subject to the same 49-51% mistake making. All entities observe, and move toward, or away from, an observation (the one they 'think' they, or 'want' to, see). It is impossible to understand reality using only what we can, or do, 'see.' We must always deduce reality from our observations by adding in the parts we cannot see. Otherwise, we are 'seeing' in error. The universal mandala is the only way to untangle the abstract-concrete, hidden-showing dynamic. The mandala straightens it out (articulates it) intellectually. We can place any word on the mandala and deduce, from (any) one word, alone, complete reality (because reality is a circular 'pair'). We can use one or two sets of pairs on the mandala (see many examples). The words are completely irrelevant. The relationship between them is reality. All opposite pairs behave in the exact same way, one hides the other, and one is the abstract (inside-out/upside-down) version of the other. Size, speed, or location of any entity is irrevelant; all entities are comprised of, and articulate, opposite pairing, otherwise called 'oscillation,' 'beat,' 'movement.' It is very important to note an entity and its background are also in an opposite, co-dependent, and circular, relationship. (The jellyfish is oscillating, as is its background.) Mandala, and jellyfish, up, down, left, right, inside, outside, line, circle, move, still, background, foreground, now, then, here, there, time, space, energy, matter, movement, substance. (Any entity, or process, no matter where it is, what size or speed it is, can be viewed as a relative oscillation, more accurately termed, a circle, circling.)
Intuition - The Circle
Intuition tells us, always, there is something hidden that will eventually show up. This is the 'circle,' our intelligence, within. All entities share the same intuition and intelligence (observation and movement). Over time, the circle makes things very predictable, stable, and understandable. The circle is the underlying and overlying dynamic controlling eveything. The circle is what science, psychology and philosophy articulate. We can use the universal mandala to create a productive, or constructive, reality, using the Opposite ApproachTM, because... One fact describes every universe: the opposite is also true. This fact describes, and is, a circle. Here are many examples of the circle (opposites) at work. Click through the many sets of opposite pairs and you will gain a deep insight into how reality is organized.
And, then, here's how to think in a circle ...
