I reverted your recent edit of the article, [[Rapture]]. The term "mandala" is correct in usage and in context for this article, but most importantly it was also used repeatedly in episode dialogue. While the mandala was obviously not seen in use as a meditative device, it had a religious element, and there are secular uses of the concept as well in real-world Earth. See [[w:Mandala]] for more. -[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:07, 24 January 2007 (CST)

:If "mandala" was used in the dialogue, then I can understand its usage here. But you and (more importantly) the writers are wrong about the usage being correct. Certainly not in reference to Hindu and Buddhist mandalas. For what it's worth, I have a Ph.D. in Asian art history and have studied mandalas in detail. But I'm not such a prude as to think that the usage has to be exact in a TV show. But maybe it would be good to explain that the show's usage of the term is not really correct. The image is an icon, a symbolic representation of the nova, the Eye of Jupiter. It's not a mandala. Even if it were used in meditation practices, it would still be an icon, not a mandala. A mandala can have symbols and/or icons within it, but it is itself a diagram. A map, if you will. --[[User:Rasmus|Rasmus]] 08:24, 24 January 2007 (CST)
::Putting that in a few sentences in the notes section would be fine I guess. That whole part about the use of the mandala would fit better there than in analysis --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:27, 24 January 2007 (CST)
:::Will do, after I watch the episode again to see how and when they use the term... --[[User:Rasmus|Rasmus]] 10:02, 24 January 2007 (CST)
