In my meditations and metaphysical studies recently, I’ve discovered how expansive and ubiquitous fractals are.
For example, our astrological birth (natal) chart is a fractal of our lives. What’s happening in the sky and the energies between the transiting planets are a fractal of what’s happening here on earth. What’s going on in tarot and oracle cards are a fractal of the messages of our spiritual guides. The hermetic phrase, “As above, so below, as without, so within.”
I’m seeing fractals everywhere and I’m only just beginning my exploration of them.
There’s this deck of cards that I recently acquired called Path of the Soul, that has fractals on each card. The more I work with them, the more I discover about fractals and how they relate in my everyday life. And the more I work with fractals the more I see the connections between us all.
According to the Holographic Universe therory, we’re all a full representation of the whole. Like all holograms, one individual part is a representative of the whole. In that way, it’s a fractal.
Now, I never really understood fractals until I started working with them. Well, i understood them on an intellectual level, but not on a practical level. The practical lelve, where you see and interact with fractals, personally learning on a deep level what they mean to you.
For me, I see fractals as me outside of me and all around me. I know it doesn’t really make all that much sense, so I’ll try and explain it a little more.
Whenever I think of gratitiude, I imagine a green beam of light coming out of my heart. This beam lights up my surroundings and settles on whoever I think about and am grateful for.
However, when I apply the fractal theroy to this beam of gratitude, I see the beam coming out of my heart, but also directed back at me from all angles. In this way, I’m sending out energy and receiving it back magnified. Like the saying, “What you sew, so shall you reap.” Or the Wiccan Three-Fold law, “what you send out, you’ll get back times three.” And on and on.
Now I truly understand this spiritual principle on a deep, practical level. I feel it when I send out the green beam of gratitude, how that very beam gets sent back to me.
This doesn’t just apply to gratitude, but to everything energetic. Send out love and you receive it. Send out hate and you receive it too. Send out good vibes and you receive them back. And so on and so forth.
This is the basic principle of life, yet it’s taken me so long to truly understand this. And only once I started synthesising my knowledge from different spiritual traditions (Reiki, Tarot, Astrology, Meditations), was I truly able to understand this principle.
I’m not entirely sure what I wanted to say in this post, merely that sometimes it feels like you’re spinning your wheels when it comes to spirituality. You always feel like you’re learning and learning, but never actually doing anything. Like there’s always something more that you need to know or do before you can … be truly spiritual.
But the truth is, everything you do in regrads to spirituality takes you in the right direction. Takes you closer to the mysteries of the universe. Takes you closer to a more spiritual path. And sometimes it takes a while before you can truly see the progress you’ve made. But rest assured, you’ve progressed.
