SQUARED CIRCLE begin with the square add circles and some bubbles immersed in the mix the inside of the image below looks mechanical while the outer edges seem more flower like...maybe that's what happens when you try to square a circle... imposing the four sided structure of the square  onto the smooth flow of a circle creates tension which is released in the outer bubbles. what natural things in your life ( circles ) might you be trying to manipulate/control/force into a particular structure ( square )? could you loosen the grip of some of these squares to allow the energy/forces of the natural circles to bubble forth? or better yet resist the urge to control in the first place and allow the natural flow of the circle to unfold over time.  

BOUNDLESS AWARENESS inside the spiral moving outward toward the edge boundless awareness the easiest way i find to get "inside the spiral" is meditation with eyes closed, slow breaths, letting thoughts pass like wind escorting clouds across the blue sky for at least 30-40 mins in a quiet comfortable place where you won't be interrupted... allowing the mind and body to quiet and rest/be...then, at this still point, almost ironically, consciousness expands to include "boundless awareness", the sense of interconnection with everything--but it's not like i am everything, it's more like my being expands to include everything in a feeling kind of way, my experience of this is at the level of the eyes, both right and left expands horizontally, and i feel like everything is included--language falls so short of the actual experience as with describing most mystical states. take time to be and feel the boundless awareness that moves from inside the spiral of your ...
