Description

Various cultures have comprehended the Universe-its space, time, form, primal elements and the incessant movement of chaos and order-through the Mind, a unique faculty that allows us to reflect and communicate innumerable world-views.

An ancient hymn from India describes man’s first conscious reflection on creation as: the contemplative Mind conceives of everything from no-thing, only Mind was there, neither existent nor nonexistent, That the Truth is hidden in a golden jar, That which covers the Truth, the Mind and the Man, is the Mask.
