It is interesting how things are connected. If you do things like this, you kind of realize that everything's all in this one mandola. The whole the whole world is right. Actually in Buddhism, the mandela is actually like this actual astral place. Okay, I have to go back home. Astral place where it's like they um will invoke these deities
and demons and guardians into it. They'll have very um elaborate meditations where you know they're going through these these mandelas and they make it out of sand, right? And then they at the end of the retreat they just uh dissolve it. They just mess up all the colored sand and it turns back into the uh turns just back into the earth, right?
And that's that's that's how the universe works, too. It's a constant destruction and recreation.
