This mandala structured around the harmony and balance of the 6, expresses the joyous energy of dolphins rising up above the ocean, and the squid, below the ocean, symbolising the concept of As Above - So Below.

The geometrical form that the 6 vibration generates is the Hexagon, and its internal form, the Star of David: two perfectly balanced, interlocking equilateral triangles. Since ancient times the Star of David (known throughout many cultures by many different names), has been the most evocative symbol of the spiritual axiom, "As Above - So Below".

This sacred form represents the concept that the material world is but a reflection of the greater reality, the unseen spiritual reality. The upward-pointing triangle represents the heavens, the cosmic source of the divine, while the downward-pointing triangle represents the earth, the birthplace of material form where cosmic energy can manifest itself and look back at the reflection in the mirror. It also tells us that a perfect balance must be created between the perception and awareness of the material and spiritual realms, and maintained, if we are to fulfill our destiny as human beings.
