Fractals : The Colors of Infinity

[Omnitheus Oneironaut]

I just LOVE fractals and what they represent (literally & metaphorically)! Synchronistically, I've just now popped into two sites I frequent and both have recently put up the film "Fractals : The Colors Of Infinity" - a movie by Arthur C. Clarke. You gotta love it when Life rhymes like that!

A Mandelbrot Set Crop Circle (again, this phenomenon always seems to be one step ahead!)

Interesting how the Mandelbrot Set resembles a meditating human sitting in the Lotus Position... Is this Fractal design a coded 'key' to achieving an Awakened State/Enlightenment?

In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. These inevitably follow archetypes of sacred geometry which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole.

The strands of our DNA, the cornea of our eye, snow flakes, pine cones, flower petals, diamond crystals, the branching of trees, lightning, a nautilus shell, the star we spin around, the galaxy we spiral within, the air we breathe, and all life forms as we know them emerge out of timeless geometric codes.

The designs of Crop Circles and exalted holy places from the prehistoric monuments at Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, to the world's great cathedrals, mosques, and temples are based on these same principles of sacred geometry.

The Spiral appears everywhere in nature, from the micro to the macro. Compare the fractal spiral with this photo of Spiral Galaxy M100.

It is this principle of Oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created.

The term Fractal was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured". A Fractal is better understood as "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity (very similar to how a hologram works).

"Fractals : The Colors Of Infinity"
is a movie by Arthur C. Clarke about the Mandelbrot Set and our Holographic Fractal Universe...



*Much Thanks to my good friends Cosmic Oneness over at http://psychedelicadventure.blogspot.com/ and Christopher at OV: http://mountzion144.ning.com/profile/OmnitheusOneironaut for this information & for always being in sync...hronicity!

I just had to include this incredible clip featuring Gregg Braden speaking about Fractals - 'The Mandelbrot Set' in particular:



I love it when he zooms deeper and deeper into the Mandelbrot Set only to find once again...the very exact, same design. What an OMazing metaphor. What an OMazing YOUniversALL Truth!

I've just finished 'Fractal Time' (Gregg Braden) which was a fantastic read!

We all know space follows a kind of fractal design (coastlines, the human body, snowflakes, seashells, leaves, etc) but in this remarkable book, Braden suggests that time also follows a fractal design (just as the ancient Mayans believed). Braden even provides the formula to calculate one's global or individual timeline - hinting at future conditions by looking at past events. Incredibly thought-provoking, inspiring & exciting...I thoroughly recommend the new book 'Fractal Time' by Gregg Braden.
