About the Book

This book is founded on the orientation principles presented in the Mandala Pictographic books and is a result of many years of study and interest in children spontaneous drawings.  Pictorgraphics deals with object placement and commonly accepted interpretations of curves and angles.  It is designed for use by the lay person as a means of better understanding the child through his or her drawings.  Illustrated with many actual drawings complete with interpretations, this book is both fun and easy to use.  Contains a section on Adult Symbolic Drawings and Self Actualization.


About the Author

My experience with mandalas began when for two weeks, I was privileged to experience a wonderland of spiritual vision blended in perfect harmony with the material world.  For fourteen days I knew what it was like to view without judgment those things I would have considered to be evil.  I knew how it felt to be free of fear and worry for each moment in its self was perfection and completion.

The fifteenth morning I woke to a flat, cold, gray appearing world.  The light of my insight had been removed from my vision.  Even as I felt a great loss, I was determined to find my way back to the wonder of the clear vision that had been mysteriously given to me.

A few months later, I suffered a back injury that left me  handicapped for a year.  My search for healing reached an intense pitch.  My focus moved from my pain and disability as I began sensing symbolic light images of geometric design, which I now know are called mandalas.  I dreamed of squares becoming diamonds turning into perfect circles of white light.  I sensed the squares symbolized materialism, the diamonds relationships and the circles completion.  I spent many hours translating these dream images to geometrical symbolic drawings.  While the symbolic meaning of some of these forms were revealed to me in dreams, I became aware that I was also deeply sensing the emotions of those around me.  As I did this a template (mandala) of emotional oneness evolved revealing duality and self disapproval dominating human emotion.  The evolvement of these mandalas became a source of insight into the dualistic nature of emotion.  They progressed to show how complete acceptance of life and self opens the mind to experience a Center Grounding between heaven and earth called NOW.
