We live in a fractal universe. This means that everything is encased within everything. The intelligence within a piece of DNA is reflected in the cell, and again in the tissue, in the organ, in the system, in the organism…and so on, out into the galaxy and beyond.
Ancient yogis explained it like this:
Yatha pinde tatha brahmande, yatha brahmande tatha pinde. - Yajurveda
As in the microcosm; so is the macrocosm; as is the macrocosm, so is the microcosm.
Nearly every aspect of our existence is unfathomably deep. We can “drill down” into something as simple as the breath and enter worlds of complexity and revelation.
We can step into a fresh start at the dawning of day…and just as readily claim a fresh start in each new moment, if we but know how to scale our attention.
Fractals are dynamics allowing for infinite complexity, displaying the splendid creativity of Life. My Teacher once told me, “If you want to know Nature, look within your own body.”
The same truth applies: if you want to know your Self, immerse in the experience of Nature.
Likewise, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Why is this necessary?
Because, you are the world. When I say, “Wake up to who you truly are” I am inviting you to embark upon a fractal journey of discovery.
One place to begin this journey is by considering that you—every last fleck of DNA, every thought, emotion, every action you have taken and will ever take—ripples out into the whole. You are a unique and irreplaceable part of All That Is.
As a human being, equipped with the potential to be self-aware, you are literally at the center of the known universe, in this moment, as you are experiencing it.
If everything I have just written about is a fool’s fantasy (which is somewhat likely, knowing me) - it may or may not change your life too much.
On the other hand, what if this is true?
Please start at the top of this post and read it again, as if every statement were speaking directly to you, about you.
Do you want to know who you are?
If so, what is your next step?
