Description             :A mandala is an eastern painting or art piece, 
                         usually circular in motif with a central point 
                         of origin.  It is used as a cognitive centering 
                         device for meditation.  The idea is to immerse 
                         yourself in the art work, which in the process 
                         would bring you to a space where you can overcome 
                         your "demons," so to speak, and come to some 
                         resolution.  When I first saw Doom,  I knew it 
                         would be a perfect place to put a Mandala in... 
                         demons, resolution to higher levels and 
                         immersion.... "Man the Mandala" is my first 
                         attempt at playing with this concept.  I use some 
                         eastern symbolism interspersed with some very 
                         western ones, which may or may not be obvious.  
                         At any rate, it certainly is a lot more fun and 
                         immediate than sitting in a lotus position, 
                         following your breath to point on a painting on 
                         a wall...which can be fulfilling, but is certainly 
                         a hell of a lot more work and not necessarily fun!
