...as a matter of fact that is true, no? ... i have some years back, ink-drew a symbolic representation of such a place/plane ... the actual meaning of which i knew not, (yet) . must have been the 'new' moon and sun pics........and the lotus i'm sure. a fine, large format -library borrowed - 'buddhist' book that was... with many fotos, yet that was the only one which tickled my fancy, which most intrigued me.
i scribbled the drawing in Wilber's The Marriage Sense and Soul, on back - end page, just because it was the book i was at the time reading? not sure.
and just for the heck of it, i jutted down the following ....
"Tantra schools rely heavily on the recitation of sacred often secret formulas (mantras) , on the of symbols, such as ritual gestures, and on cosmic diagram, as means of reaching a subtle identification with superhuman powers.
A Buddhist mystic monogram . From the seven petal lotus an auspicious monogram emerges. Above are the crescent moon and the sun. The entire structure is enclosed by protective halo."
a 'protective halo' ... as it should be....or maybe one could say...'not like it's a secret, but even if someone were to explain the ins and out of this 'mystical monogram' , it wouldn't make sense to one who is un-initiated?'
