“The idea of a receptacle is an archetypal idea… It is the idea of the magic circle which is drawn round something that has to be prevented from escaping or protected against hostile influences…When the ground-plan for a city was set out, there used to be a ritual walk or ride round the circumferences in order to protect the place within… This structure of a circle within a square is called in Sanskrit a Mandala… The symbol of the Mandala has exactly this meaning of a holy place, a ‘tenemous’ to protect the centre…’

“In order to arrive there,
To arrive where you are,
to get from where you are not,
You must go by a way
wherein there is no ecstasy.
In order to arrive at what
you do not know
You must go by a way
which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what
you do not possess
You must go by the way of
dispossession.
In order to arrive at what
you are not
You must go through the
way in which you are not.
And what you do not
know is the only thing
you know
And what you own is what
you do not own.
And where you are is
where you are not.’
-T.S. Eliot
Four Quartets”
