The word 'mandala' stems from Sanskrit, (the classical language of India) and means 'circle.'
The number twelve is a cosmic number, yielded by multiplying the feminine 4 and the masculine 3 ( there are 3 zodiac signs in each of the 4 quarters of the astrological wheel).
The Kobol Mandala represents the cycle by which our spiritual evolution to ascension occurs. Its cyclical nature shows us that as we complete the journey from Aeron to Picon, we begin the journey again with Aeron. Each circuit brings us to a higher vibration of being.
