Tetrapulse: The Reality Mirror

The Tetrapulse mandala reveals the hidden connection between the human microcosm and the universal macrocosm, inspired by the depth psychology of Carl Jung and sacred geometry.

In this context, its fourfold structure draws a parallel between the four essential functions of the human psyche - Feeling, Sensing, Intuition, and Thinking - and the four fundamental forces of nature: Electromagnetism, Gravity, Weak Nuclear Force, and Strong Nuclear Force, which shape matter in the universe. These elements reflect how the cosmic order manifests in our psyche - psyche, the Greek term for soul.

Electromagnetism and Feeling: The electromagnetic force, which facilitates interactions between particles, is comparable to Feeling, which creates emotional bonds and connects the individual to their experience. Emotions "attract" or "repel" just as the electromagnetic force influences the energy and dynamics of relationships through positive/negative polarity.

Gravity and Sensing: Gravity provides stability and balance to the universe, similar to the function of Sensation, which anchors us in reality and provides the perception of immediate experience through our senses. Sensation serves as a central point of support, connecting us directly to matter, analogous to gravity, which pulls objects toward a common center, ensuring cosmic stability.

Weak Nuclear Force and Intuition: The weak nuclear force transforms subatomic particles, changing their "flavor" - that is, the type of quark they are made of - thereby reorienting matter. In the same way, Intuition acts as a subtle catalyst, changing the "flavor" of our perspective and guiding us beyond rational, logical, and cartesian thinking, towards an a priori holistic knowledge.

Strong Nuclear Force and Thinking: The strong nuclear force acts as a "glue" that binds subatomic particles within the nuclei of atoms, giving structure to matter. Similarly, Thinking helps us crystallize our ideas, establishing logical connections and maintaining the internal coherence of perception, bringing stability and clarity to the psyche, analogous to how the strong nuclear force preserves the unity of matter.

Thus, this mandala embodies the hermetic principle “As above, so below” (better known in its Christianized form “As it is in heaven, so it is on Earth”), illustrating how the laws governing the outer cosmos are holographically and fractally reflected in our inner universe.

Tetrapulse serves as a mirror and portal of introspection, inviting you to reconnect with your Inner Self by contemplating the unity between the infinite within you and the infinite of the universe. They are One and the same. Ideal for creating a sacred space, this mandala helps you center your attention and explore the deeply interconnected nature of existence.
