I've posted a video-portfolio of my mandala art-work on my blog ( at www.scooterdudeboston.blogspot.com ).
Like the points of a compass, the four-parts may possess their own dimensionality. Maybe, as a casual conclusion, there's the 'illumination' at the end of the presentation. But, each mandala, as is true of every circle, is complete in itself and needs nothing else.
Meditating on the Circle is a primary vocation for the spiritually-oriented. There's no way to get around it. One must travel through the Circle, like a tunnel. As a Circle of Life, we can speak of a Tunnel of Life through which we must pass, con-joined beyond Time or Space with and in the Single-String.
There are references and further resources available and obtainable.
As a picture-framer craftsman, I've been keenly aware of the horizontal/vertical constraints on our experience and imaginations. Here are circles within circles. Here are my visual renderings, attempts to reach out and beyond our 'categories', beyond the constraints. The mandala-artist is yearning to relate to the Whole, yearning to comprehend the Center, deeply craving to grasp the Single-String connecting it all, the entirety of Reality Itself.

And if you haven't yet, please take a look at my novel, The Friend Behind the Mask--First Chapter. I've entered it in the Court TV Search for the Next Great Crime Writer Contest, and would love your vote and any comments or suggestions you would like to add. Thanks!
Yes, the Kalachackra tradition is very profound. One can only be humbled by the depth of meaning and art in this particularly Buddhist practice. There is so much to learn in this field! I feel that I've barely started to practice the art myself. It is, of course, a life-long study.
I'll look forward to sampling and reading your work as well.
Keep up the good work too.
