The Mandala Research & Development Center is a facility dedicated to the"technology of mandalas", both as a traditional world-wide knowledge and as a promising format & model to image & support the collective shift to a new paradigm.
The dynamic processes of consciousness are best modeled by 3-D spiral mandalas.
A variety of explorative mandala research projects would allow the bridging of Tradition & Science and would bring about innovative applications as well as new insights for visitors of the Gallery & Exhibit spaces and for students of the Mandala School.
Mandala research is intimately linked with the knowledge of Sacred Geometry and the Sacred Arts as they are rediscovered in the western culture.
We are witnessing an ever-deepening understanding of how forms can manifest Spirit and higher evolutionary energies through cosmic resonance, rhythmic cycles, number archetypes, vortical energetics, geomancies, "zero-point" quantum states... and geometries.
Re-discoveries about the Golden Proportion, the Platonic Solids and Harmonics...are now a meeting ground for hitherto inimical researchers.
Cymatics, as pioneered by swiss scientist Hans Jenny, is another promising field of research. Cymatics studies the genesis of forms and the synergy between sound, form, organic shapes and vibrational frequencies; it holds the potential of new creative applications in many domains of contemporary life.
Some may ask, why should we put so much emphasis on "mandalas" to the point of devoting a research center to study them and develop their potential applications ?
The answer is that, as discovered by many teachers throughout time, mandalas are an exceptional cognitive tool because they are directly modeling universal & cosmic archetypes. As C. G. Jung has shown, creative inspiration, at the personal, community and global levels, can greatly benefit from being exposed to the unifying & integrative aspects of mandala modeling.
Mandala designs, uses and effects involve a whole "science-wisdom" based on the principles of frequency propagation and harmonic resonance, on a cosmic scale. Traditional practices, like visualizations or concentrations on mandalas, are now dusted off and recognized as powerful technologies to modulate, shift, transfer, energize and de-energize the vibrational signatures sustaining physical, emotional, psycho-mental and spiritual patterns of creation & manifestation: they are sacred technologies integrating what we call "art" & "science".
The Mandala Research & Development Center is envisioned as a global educational forum to prepare the human species for a deeper understanding of its innate (and primordial) Oneness with the universe.
