[IMAGE 20]

I have illustrated the "smaller vase," intact, over the "great chalice," so you mentally can put the "foot" of the "smaller vase" into the "cup" of the "great chalice."  For ease of viewing, I have illustrated the "smaller vase" as being considerably smaller than the "great chalice."  In the past, a significant number of my readers have had a very hard time visualizing compound images on the Grail Mandala when: (1) the lines of one image also are lines of the second image, and (2) the second image partially is inside of the first image.  Sister Emmerich most probably wants us to see both images together, with the "foot" of the "smaller vase" sitting inside the "cup" of the "great chalice."  In engineering drawing, the part of an opaque image which is inside of another opaque image is illustrated using dotted lines.  Do you see the "foot" of the "smaller vase," which is inside of the "cup" of the "great chalice," being illustrated here in dotted lines?  Sister Emmerich's "smaller vase" is smaller than the "great chalice" only because it is inside the "great chalice."  But it is not as small as I have illustrated it in bold lines, simply so you could see the "small vase" intact.  Imagine the "smaller vase" continuing upwards from the position in which its "foot" is sitting inside of the "cup" of the "great chalice."  We thus would have the compound image ("foot" of "smaller vase" inside of the "cup" of the "great chalice") as it customarily is illustrated in the Grail literature, and as Sister Emmerich most probably intended for it to be seen.
