Mandala of the Noedic Web Stickers

I created this image through a complex combination of Photoshop filtering and layering, after initially rendering the base image with the 3D fractal program, XenoDream. The final work of art bears little resemblance to that base image. Among other filters and effects, I used Kaleidoscope 2.1 by Mehdi, set to 20 mirror petals, and the KPT Gradient Lab. The end result almost looks like an elaborate symbol of an esoteric secret society. Sitting back and meditating on it, I found myself seeing it as symbolic of the complex web of the Cosmic Collective Consciousness. In ancient Greek philosophy the Nous was thought to be the Cosmic Mind, or Primary Intellect. Thus, that of a Noedic nature is akin to this Cosmic Mind, this web of intellect interconnecting all conscious beings throughout the Universe.
