Fractal Consciousness

We live in a world of illusion. We think about matter as something very solid but in fact matter is not solid at all. It consists of atoms surrounded by a cloud of electrons. The solidity results from the repulsing electrical interaction between the atoms. Quantum physics had shown that if we go deeper and deeper in structure of atoms we enter in a world of pure abstraction and pure potential. This is thought to be the information field governed by consciousness and thus our minds can alter the Universe.



Max Planck was talking about God, the consciousness being that expresses itself through all living beings, through all matter and all the Universe. He is not separated from us. It's like the Universe is a very complex fractal. Because in a fractal the part resembles the whole, if we have consciousness then matter has it too and this might bee the only substance there is.

"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." Max Planck - The Observer (January 25th, 1931)

"The circle has an inside and an outside which are different (separate) and cannot exist without the other. To a donut the inside and the outside is the same." So we see that when we think in a higher dimensions things seem to be one. We think to ourselves separate from everything else because we perceive world through our senses and project these holograms outside ourselves. But the reality is that we are all one and thus this feeling of separateness is the matrix of life.

That's why LOVE is the most powerfull force of the Universe. Because it disolves the feeling of being alone and binds people. Jesus knew this from the Beginning and we all knew this, we only have to remember.

Unlearning

We begin our journey with Alan Watts as our guide through the Maya as Hindus call "The Matrix". The western philosopher, explains with freshness and lucidity the way of Tao "which is not the eternal Tao". Using a more digestible language he is a venerable pioneer in bringing the Eastern philosophy and understanding into the westerner's point of view.

On the other hand, our science got to a point where we can completely eliminate the need of God and basically science has it's own religion. Watts also promotes "The religion of NO religion" and that doesn't mean that he promotes atheism. He says only that one must seek inward for self enlightenment not outward for a particular God. Inward you'll find the only God there is and that is You and Everybody and Everything else.

In the last century, science with the help of computers discovered fractals. They are beautiful mathematical objects and simply you have to gaze at them because it's useless to try to comprehend them. They are infinitely complex as everything in this world; from the smallest particle (still undiscovered) to the edge of space-time (still not determined). Finding fractals everywhere creates a new ground for the Philosophy of Science, which is the Fractal Tao.

To enter in this new frame of mind we have to unlearn things we've learned. Lao Tzu said: "The scholar learns something every day, a man of a Tao unlearns something everyday, until he gets back to non-doing." Unlearning things makes you boundless, but it's hard to stop thinking as it's hard to calm a disturbed water with our hands. So we have to let go and be carried out by the flow and eventually reach that state with no effort.
