context1: The producer described the programme in an interview in 2003: <strong>Reality</strong> TV is artificial. After Dark is real in the sense that what you see is what you get, which isn't the case with something that's been edited to give the <strong>illusion</strong> of being real. Other shows wind people up with booze beforehand, then when they're actually on the programme they give them glasses of water.
context2: The third concentric ring [from the circumference] is optional, in that it is only used in mandalas representing the <strong>reality</strong> of deities of fierce power. It represents the charnel grounds wherein bodies are cut up and offered to birds of prey as a sky burial. This ring signifies the cutting away of the bones and flesh of <strong>illusion</strong> on the way to the primordial ground at the mandala's center.
