living life in “creator mode”

When we meditate, we yearn to travel back to one-ness.
We yearn back to union, the warmness of the womb in which we were created.

The place where we felt safest and being taken care of.
While we have an intimate talk with the divine, we ask questions which answers lie in our heart already. We wish to receive those messages unfiltered.

It's all part of a bigger intelligence.

We try to transcend our limited, individual view into a bigger picture, so we understand how the struggle today, makes sense tomorrow.

Transcendence rises above. It leaves the material world behind in pursuit of higher realms. We seek salvation from our everyday life. It is escape—a pulling away from the tangible, individual view into abstraction, birds eye view and collectivity.

Transcendence is often seen as the movement upward—a detachment from the material to connect with the higher, the divine, or god’s view. It's about leaving the layers of multiplicity behind to reunite with unity or the source.

Creation on the other hand does not arise from transcendence; it emerges through emanation—a flow of ideas into tangible reality. It is the opposite direction.

Emanation pours outward. It transforms inner essence into the external. Through emanation, potential takes shape, becoming systems, art, and worlds. It doesn’t discard the material; it creates the material to play with it, it uses it as the medium to create.

Human creations & systems reflect this process, layering ideas and actions to form structured realities. These systems embody both individual thoughts and collective intentions. Emanation is the movement downward or outward—the divine source expressing itself through layers of complexity, descending into the material world, and fragmenting into diverse forms.

Emanation is the blueprint of creation, not as a fall or degradation, but as an act of divine expression. It’s how systems, ideas, and relationships take shape. It's how we as creators embody the divine act of bringing forth something from unity into multiplicity.

fractals and mandelbrot: emanation in patterns

Benoît B. Mandelbrot (1924–2010) was a Polish-born French-American mathematician widely recognized as the father of fractal geometry. His groundbreaking work reshaped our understanding of complex patterns in nature, art, and science.

Mandelbrot was known for his unconventional thinking. He often crossed disciplinary boundaries, exploring physics, economics, biology, and computer science. His curiosity led him to seek patterns in seemingly chaotic systems.

In the 1970s, Mandelbrot coined the term "fractal" from the Latin word fractus, meaning broken or fractured. He noticed that natural phenomena, such as coastlines, mountains, and clouds, exhibit a similar structure when observed at different scales. This led him to define fractals as objects or patterns that display self-similarity, meaning their structure looks the same at varying levels of magnification.

Fractals embody emanation. They show how complexity arises from simplicity through repetition. The Mandelbrot Set, a mathematical fractal, illustrates this perfectly. Its patterns emerge from a single equation, endlessly iterated.

Each layer builds on the previous, expanding outward while retaining the essence of the original. This is emanation in action: complexity unfolds without losing connection to the source.

Fractals teach us that creation doesn’t abandon its origins. It amplifies them, reuses them repeatedly. Emanation mirrors this process, turning core ideas into layered realities—worlds within worlds.

how fractals revolutionized video game design

Fractals revolutionized how video games simulate nature. Before fractals, designing expansive landscapes required painstaking manual effort. Fractal geometry changed this by mimicking nature’s way of creating complexity through repetition.

Algorithms like Perlin noise generate mountains, rivers, and skies with lifelike detail. A single equation unfolds into vast terrains, dynamic clouds, and organic forms. Games like Minecraft and No Man’s Sky use fractals to create infinite worlds, each layer echoing the source pattern.

In video games, fractals embody emanation—a core formula expands into immersive environments. They remind us that even the most intricate systems start with a simple, unified idea.

nature and fractals: the blueprint of creation

Fractals aren’t confined to virtual worlds—they are nature’s design language. From the smallest leaf to the grandest galaxy, fractals reveal how simplicity births complexity. This is the blueprint of creation itself.

branching systems:

Trees and Rivers: A tree’s branches echo its roots. Rivers mirror this structure, splitting into tributaries. Both follow fractal geometry, repeating patterns at every scale.

The Human Body: Blood vessels and bronchial tubes replicate this design, efficiently distributing resources like water flowing through a river network.

spirals in growth:

Flowers and Shells: The Fibonacci sequence governs the spiral of nautilus shells and the arrangement of sunflower seeds, reflecting harmony in growth.

Galaxies: The cosmic spiral of galaxies mirrors these natural patterns, linking the microcosm to the macrocosm.

surface patterns:

Mountains and Coastlines: Rugged edges of mountains and shorelines exhibit fractal-like intricacy, revealing more detail the closer you look.

torus dynamics:

The Torus in Nature: The torus represents a flow of energy, where what is drawn inward is transformed and radiated outward. Seen in little magnets, apples, and the Earth's magnetic field, the torus is the engine of balance and renewal.

The Human Heart: Our heart’s electromagnetic field follows toroidal patterns, emanating energy outward while pulling from within. This dynamic flow sustains not only life but also emotional resonance.

Galactic Torus: On a cosmic scale, galaxies embody the torus, with stars and matter spiraling into a central point and radiating energy outward, reflecting balance in the universe.

Fractals and the torus reveals one hermetic principle: The principle of correspondence. that nature doesn’t transcend complexity; it emanates it. A seed becomes a tree, retaining its essence while expanding into intricate layers. The torus takes this further, showing how energy cycles endlessly, renewing and creating. Together, these patterns offer a clear message: the simplest principles, repeated with purpose, can build worlds. I repeat:

The simplest principles, repeated with purpose, can build worlds.

As above, so below; as within, so without

The Hermetic principle of correspondence, “As above, so below; as within, so without,” is poetic as well as it is a living blueprint embedded in nature’s design. Fractals are showing how universal patterns replicate across scales, from the smallest to the largest— beautifully.

Design is deliberate in nature; efficient, and fractal by essence.

A leaf mirrors the tree; the tree mirrors the forest. Each fractal unit contains the whole’s essence, scaled up or down. Rivers branching into tributaries, veins spreading through leaves, and capillaries distributing blood all follow this same logic. Galaxies echo this design. Spiral arms mimic the Fibonacci sequence, seen in sunflowers and nautilus shells. The patterns shaping distant star systems also govern our DNA.

The torus exemplifies nature’s flow. Magnets, apples, and the human heart all operate within toroidal fields. Energy spirals inward, through a central axis, then radiates outward. This flow governs Earth’s magnetic field and galactic formations as well as the magnetic field of an ant. What a grand design! The torus pulses, alive and responsive. It draws inward to process, transforms within, and expands outward.

Trees embody this dynamic. They pull in carbon dioxide, transform it into oxygen, and release it outward, sustaining ecosystems. Galaxies spiral inward, condensing stars and matter, then radiate energy and light outward, fueling the cosmos. The human heart’s electromagnetic torus aligns with health and coherence.

Harmonized internally, this pattern amplifies outward, influencing spaces and people.

It does not just influence, it is the reason being.

Creation is grand. Creation is intentionally deliberate emanation. Every layer mirrors the one above and below, forming seamless continuity. Nature’s balance, efficiency, and beauty—a dance of correspondence between the finite and infinite.
