dmb says: Carl Jung, the analytical psychologist, said a few things about an already existing symbol of wholeness and unity called a quaternity. He found different versions of it in all kinds of places. Neoplatonism, the occult, religion, alchemy. It's a kind of mandala, I guess. They can be as simple as a circle divided in four by crossing lines or they can be quite elaborate. It's basically a picture of symmetry, balance, unity of opposites - so they're not too bad to look at. Maybe you can try to check out some images on the web and see if any of them look like Royce's desire to you.
[Krimel] Sorry John, I had higher hopes... What is you have been up to this term Dave? First you give us this a week or so ago: Apparently, the lotus flower has been used as a symbol of wholeness because of its mandala-like appearance, when seen at a certain angle anyway. (It occurs to me now that the rose also looks like a series of concentric circles when viewed from above and so can be see as a mandala too.) OMG, the creator sees that mandalas are Jungian archetypes and invents flowers that look like them. WTF, dude? Royce... James... Bradley... ...help the brother out, will ya?
