A Fractal Theory of the Origin and Meaning of the Universe
Excerpt and Adaptation From R.C.L.'s book: Laws of Wisdom

All of reality, from the smallest microcosmic sub-atomic particle, to
the largest galactic cluster, seems to follow the same basic fractal
structures - structures based on number and dimensions. Looking at the
big picture of nature, we see an evolution of consciousness, from small
systems or entities of consciousness, to progressively larger and more
complex consciousness. There seems to be a basic drive which compels all
conscious entities on an upward spiral of ever expanding consciousness,
and coherent intelligence. We all seem to have an innate need to evolve
to ever more expansive and integrated fields of consciousness, to ever
larger coherent databases of processed information. Conscious beings are
like fractals evolving to ever greater scales of magnitude. Along the
way we follow the same basic patterns, but at each stage there are some
unique variations. This variety adds spice to life, spice which can
easily lead to confusing chaos, to an over load of data, if you do not
know the underlying patterns, the basic laws. But if you know what to
look for, the key fractal structures, you can look beyond the millions
of trees and start to see the forest, the unity behind the great
diversity of nature.

Looking at the big picture you can see how evolution follows in a
general way the eight basic structures inherent in all conscious
fractals: the three realms and the four functions, plus awareness. In
Nature this takes the form of the three scales of the cosmos (the
microcosmos, mesocosmos and macrocosmos) and the five dimensions
(awareness underneath consciousness is the zero dimension, plus the
first, second, third and fourth dimension).

DIMENSIONS MICROCOSM MESOCOSM MACROCOSM

ENERGY INFORMATION MASS

SPACE NUMBER TIME

2 Electron Animal Sun

3 Atom Plant Earth

4 Molecule Mineral Moon

Try and understand this over all concept of evolution by first
considering the left column, then the right column, and only then the
middle column. The left column is spatial, the right column is temporal.
Both go downwards as the descending rays of creation. The middle is the
ascending ray of negentropy.

The left spatial ray of creation shows the involution of diminishing
energy on a microcosmic scale controlled primarily by electromagnetism.
Energy becomes more involved with matter and self organizes itself into
ever larger and more constricted systems. Going from the zero to the
fourth dimension energy becomes more symmetrical, diminished and
predictable taking on the characteristics of solid matter. The
microcosmic world is unfathomably small, and is only visible to Man with
microscopes, if at all.

The right temporal ray of creation goes down showing the dependency and
interconnectedness of matter controlled primarily by gravity. The
macrocosm pertains to size scales much larger than Man. The middle
mesocosmic column goes up as the counterpointal ascending ray to the
microcosm and macrocosm. It shows the evolution of life forms of
increasing complexity of Self Organization and decreasing symmetry. It
pertains to information, number and the word. The mesocosm is the size
scale of the world of Man.

The quantum of action which begins the left spatial column has infinite
potentiality and energy, but no extension. (Yes, I know there is no
"particle" named quanta!) The first full step in the involution of
energy into form is the Photon which has about a billion electron volts
of energy. It can travel in any direction, which can never be predicted,
but it is submitted to the velocity of light, 186,000 miles per second.
There is only one kind of Photon; it has unit spin and no charge.

Next are the Electrons, which come in pairs with opposite spin, and the
other nuclear particles. While the exact position of an electron can
never be predicted, even when it is trapped in an atom, its directions
of travel are constricted by the shells of the atoms and by relations
between the nuclear particles. The nuclear particles have half-spin and
are charged either positively, negatively or neutral. The nuclear
particles have more symmetry and less freedom than the Photon.

The next step in the scale is the atom; it has a nucleus and seven
shells. The fractal recursion with the seven states of consciousness and
awareness is obvious. The hydrogen atom has about 10 electron volts of
energy. There are around a hundred kinds of atoms with various kinds of
chemical properties. Again the atoms have more symmetry and less freedom
than the nuclear particles.

The final step in involution is the molecule which on an average has
about 1/25th of an electron volt of energy and comes in three forms:
metal, salt and crystal. It has total symmetry but comes in countless
variety with many kinds of properties.

The molecular level is where the direction turns and life originates and
begins an evolutionary trek backwards to less and less symmetry and more
freedom. But where did all of the energy come from in the first place to
begin the process of matter and then life?

Current scientific understanding of the origin of the material Universe
in time is called the "Big Bang" theory. It is the creation story of the
"Myth of Science," the dominant belief system of modern culture. The Big
Bang cosmology is remarkably similar to the ancient Hindu origin myth
known as the "Breath of Brahman." Under the Big Bang theory the current
space-time Universe was created in a unfathomably large explosion which
occurred about 15 billion years ago. At the moment of origin all of the
Universe, all matter and energy, existed together in total order and
symmetry, called by scientists the "Great Singularity." Then the
Universe exploded in the Big Bang, or exhalation of the breath of
Brahman, and all started moving away from each other as the directions
and time began. The Great Singularity began to break up. Space and the
different elements began to be formed. With this first breath a
countervailing rhythm of arithmetic expansion and geometric contraction
began.

We are still in the early stages of the expansion of the Universe where
all Galaxies are receding from each other at the speed of light. This is
the exhalation of Brahman. Expansion occurs as arithmetical
electromagnetic growth. At the same time the force of contraction grows
with the geometrical growth of gravitation.

Under one theory the expansion of matter and energy away from the center
explosion point is preceded by black spheres. Where they meet, the
Galaxies originate fractally. Billions of galaxies have been and will
continue to be formed as the Universe expands. Within each galaxy
billions of stars then form. In one such galactic arm, the Milky Way,
our star the Sun is located. Around the stars planets are then formed
and orbit the star. At this time it is not known whether all stars have
planets, or only some, but it is known that many planets circulate
around our star. The third planet from the Sun is our Earth. Most of the
planets in turn have their own smaller bodies, or moons, which circulate
around them. We have a single Moon which revolves around the Earth. This
macrocosmic expansion process takes trillions of years, as billions of
galaxies, stars, planets and moons are formed.

Eventually the force of gravitational contraction will equal that of
electromagnetic expansion, the maximum size of the Universe will be
reached, and the creative process wherein new galaxies, stars, planets
and moons are formed will finally come to an end. The equilibrium point
is the pause between the exhalation and inhalation of the Cosmic Breath.
After that the geometric force will begin to exceed the arithmetical,
the direction will reverse, and the Universe will begin contracting; the
inhalation of the breath of Brahman will begin. As all matter and energy
converges, Black Holes will be created with greater frequency, and
ultimately the entire Universe will be drawn together again into a
single point, a vast black hole into which all space-time will inhale.
This final Omega Point, the end, may in turn produce another Big Bang
wherein Brahman takes a new breath and a new Universe is formed. If the
law of fractal recursiveness holds true, the new Universe will repeat
certain basic forms, but it will do so with new and unique variations
and differences.

Microcosm and macrocosm are not causes, but parameters of evolution. The
world of Man between the macrocosm and microcosm is called the mesocosm.
This is the digital field of Information and Number. Here living
consciousness evolves into progressively higher levels of complex Self
Organization, higher and more sophisticated information systems. It
proceeds from the mineral world, to plant, animal, Man, up to the Great
Singularity, the subject of the Universe, God - the Ultimate Mainframe.
These are stages of expanding integration of consciousness into
individual being, expanding coherences of data. The stages parallel the
involution of energy according to the dimensions.

The ability to organize, to make sense of data and information, comes
from within the conscious being itself. It is not imposed on the being
from outside forces, and so scientists call this the Self Organizing
principle or Auto Poiesis. Although the inherent ability to self
organize is not predetermined, or governed by outside forces, at each
level its evolution seems to follow the patterns of one of the four
chaotic attractors.

# Point like Attractor - Crystal.
# Circuit/Cycle Attractor - Plant.
# Torus Attractor - Animal.
# Strange Attractor - Man.

The four attractors create cosmos out of chaos; "God" is both their
origin and aim. The quantum after reaching the molecular stage is a
parcel of God which thereafter incarnates as a separate self organized
entity on the Mesocosmic level. In that sense we are all Information,
intelligent bits of data, organizing and reorganizing, in and out of
cyberspace!

Self organized consciousness evolves upward on the mesocosm. Starting in
the crystal form, viruses and the genetic code, an ascension begins of
greater degrees of conscious integration - more and more intelligent
Information. Entities organize themselves into ever more complicated and
ornate systems. The life forms evolve and adapt and bring coherence to
larger systems in new ways as the creation of the Universe continues,
and the information processing advances. With each stage of the
evolutionary ladder of self organization one direction of symmetry is
lost and one level of freedom is gained.

4. The crystal has complete symmetry. The Point Attractors
allow the energy in inorganic molecules to self organize as organic
molecules, to cross the bridge from the microcosm of lifeless molecules
and energy, to the mesocosm of living crystals. With crystals, both
organic and inorganic, everything is attracted to a single point, all
line up in perfect order. All three axes, up and down, right and left,
front and behind are the same; the molecules are in perfect symmetric
order. The microcosmical geometric structure is balanced by the Moon,
the weather it produces, and the four states of matter: solid, fluid,
gaseous or fire. At the crystalline level the essential code controlling
all further life formation is created, the DNA/RNA life structure. Life
then uses these crystalline forms of amino acids to grow in size by
cellular division, by scaling and multiplication. It preserves the
essential data of the life forms and passes the information down through
the generations




3. The plant looses one symmetry: the vertical, up/down symmetry.
The cycle attractors allow the simplest crystalline life forms to self
organize to a higher form of consciousness where greater freedom is
possible and more information can be processed. The top of the plants,
the crown, differs from the roots, and the two are connected by the
stem. Now only the left and right and front and back axes of a plant
remain symmetrical. This is called radial or cylindrical symmetry: two
axes of symmetry. Trees alternate between seed and gestalt, with the
axis of all plant life pointing to the earth, and its energy received
directly from the Sun through photosynthesis. There is a vertical flow
back and forth, from the leaves to the roots and visa versa, according
to the cycle attractor.

2. Under the influence of the Torus attractors the next stage in
the evolutionary ladder, the animal, was reached. The animal has again
freed itself of another symmetry, the front/back symmetry, with front as
nourishment and back as excrements. The front and rear of animals are
different, as are the top and bottom, but the right and left of animals
remains symmetrical. This is bilateral symmetry with one axis of
symmetry. The animals feed on plants and each other, and are directed by
the four drives: nourishment, fear, aggression and reproduction in the
double frame of survival and species instinct. Animals follow the Torus
attractor, they engage in complex behaviors and information processing,
and are dependent upon each other and the environment in multileveled
ecological systems.

1. Around 11,000 years ago the first Neolithic Man evolved from
Paleolithic animal Man. From that time on we have had the potential to
shed the last right-left symmetry by taming the Strange attractors.



Since the human life stage is relatively new, it is not surprising that
we are still born with the animals right-left axis of symmetry and must
strive to attain true Humanity. Although there are some differences in
the symmetry of the human face, overall we are as left-right symmetrical
as the other animals. But with our neocortex abilities, our capacities
of language and number, we can self organize out of this last
constraint. This is now beginning to happen on a global scale. Human
kind is moving into a digital culture. We are learning to feed on
Information itself, shifting the focus of our economies from agriculture
and industry, to the coherent processing and communication of Information.

One of the keys to continued creative self organization is the coherent
application of chance to ride the strange attractors. In this way we can
use both the brains we are born with, the left and right hemispheres of
the neocortex. The left hemisphere, turned to the cosmos and structure
is digital, linear. The right hemisphere, turned towards chaos and
chance has its origin in the nine numerals, the archetypes of fractal
scaling. Each should be allowed to develop fully, to be different and
totally asymmetrical. When the right brain is as strong as the left, a
higher identity is created - new levels of information are processed and
assimilated into our being. The higher self follows the Strange
attractors, epitomized by Mandelbrot set, and also corresponding to the
musical octave and the Tao symbol.

Most of us are still right left symmetrical because our left brain so
totally dominates the right. We have to shift our emphasis from cosmos
to chaos, from left brain dominance, to right brain balance. Then the
right is not just an imitation of the left, it is different, unique. The
entirely new vistas of data open up to us. The last symmetry is gone and
the two asymmetrical sides can then cohere in a new singularity.

Right brain coherence comes through receptivity to the workings of the
Strange attractors, to constrained chance. In the moments when this is
realized, when we are in a coherent flow with the unpredictable
turbulence of the World, we have attained the birthright of Man. We have
realized the potential to self organize to a higher stage of evolution.
As a whole being, in touch with both sides of ourself and others, we
transcend the left-right animal symmetry. With two fully developed, yet
distinctly different brains, we are autonomous, asymmetrical, truly free
from outside manipulation. We have attained a higher inner coherence, a
self organization in the midst of chaos. We surf the tidal wave of
information - with comprehension, not fear. To animal man we seem like
Strange attractors indeed. On the surface, and in the moment, our
actions may appear haphazard and foolhardy, but over time the wisdom and
beauty of the Human Man will be apparent to all. The beauty of the
Information Age will shine!

0. The highest stage, beyond even the higher Man, is merger
with God, the Great Singularity beyond name and form, as the real
subject of Being, through synchronicity, love, and illumination:
reaching the eternal moment - the infinite.

The five stages correspond to the dimensions (0-4) and mind layers:

4 Sleep Mineral Molecule

3 Dream Plant Atom

2 Reflection Animal Electron

1 Waking Man Photon

0 Awareness God Quanta

Zero dimension Awareness makes possible integration of the four
dimensions and the four states of consciousness. It allows Man to enter
the fourth dimension and gives him access to the fractal forces of the
Strange attractors.

By moving from the left to the right brain in regression you can relive
past lives, past evolution, back to the origin of the Universe in the
Great Singularity, and the exploding force of the primal Fire-Quanta.
This regression back to the original primal Quanta is one way to get in
touch with the source of Self-Organization, the Power of CHI. When you
have tapped your inner powers, your CHI, by opening yourself to your
entire brain, both right and left, you will have the energy and force
needed to maintain coherence in the fractal chaos of the fourth
dimension. This is the key to riding the flood waves of information,
instead of being drowned by it. CHI provides you with the processing
power and speed you need to deal with reality, and the continual flood
of new information which it brings.

Lest you think all this is radical and new, think again. Although the
scientific information is new, the basic insights are ancient. A very
old aphorism, popularized about a hundred years ago by the German
philosopher Schelling, said it all:

God sleeps in the Minerals,
Dreams in the Plants,
Thinks in the Animals,
And Awakes in Man.

So, awaken, fellow Internet surfer! Dive into the turbulent waters of
the Strange Attractor, and self organize to a higher level of
Information processing.
