The Mandala Archetype in Intertidal Life by Audrey Thomas

Meaning of the prototype of the mandala in the life of the intertidal Audrey Thomas's novel "life in the intertidal zone" is an explanation of Emerson's independence and women's struggle against identity. To find her "self", the leading character Alice Foil was pushed into the danger, pain and confusion of her subconscious mind by her husband. Through the novel, the prototype of Jung of Mangara stands for this struggle to gain the identity and independence of the new "self"; the circular image represents the center. .

The new central prototype produced the image of Mandala. The term mandala is used to describe self expression, the overall prototype. The simplest form of a typical mandala is a circle element plus a square at the center, a square circle that combines a cross or any other four representations. Mandala can be found anywhere and anytime. They seem to represent the basic principles of unification and integration. That is the foundation of the mind. Mandala is included in cultural assets of all races. After long-term psychological development, fully developed mandalas usually appear in personal dreams. Then, it can be released from incompatible contradiction, even if it has obvious contradictions, it can convey the consciousness of life as the ultimate harmonious and meaningful thing. (10, 11)

In particular, she believes that our appeal to a specific form or structure of Mandara conveys our current physical, emotional and spiritual state. Kellogg also developed a series of cards. Each has different Mandala design and represents unconsciousness in the character's character, interpersonal relationship, desire, and Mandara Round's life cycle.

Jung believes that Mandala is a sacred circle of Sanskrit and is a graphic expression of our heart or self. Mandala may appear in dreams, illusions, or voluntary art. Mandala is an ancient symbol that represents the circle and arc of life, space, time, and wealth. The ancients saw Mandala expressing the cycle of life. Jung thought about the image of mandala which is information from himself. It represents unconscious talking. Our night instructor is Jung 's psychologist working with client of art therapy.
