Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science & The Fractal Self Sustaining Nature of Reality

“As above, so below.”

This ancient phrase echoes across cultures, from Hermetic alchemy to Vedic philosophy. It suggests a cosmic mirroring, that what happens on one level of existence is reflected on all others.

But what did this really mean to those who lived thousands of years ago?

Brahman: The Unknowable All

Four to six thousand years before Judaism, Christianity or the teachings of Muhammad - for the ancient Vedic seers and later Hindu mystics, everything and everyone was part of something bigger.

They had gods and goddesses, to be sure; yet even their vast pantheon was seen as a subset of a greater whole.

They called this greater whole, Brahman.

Not so much a “God” in the Western sense but the ultimate, incomprehensible totality of all things.

Interestingly, Brahman was never claimed to be a man or a woman, or even something truly understandable. The earliest texts are clear that this “force” or origin and or endpoint of all existence was fundamentally unknowable from the human perspective.

It makes sense that if one were the letter “a” in this blog, they likely couldn’t comprehend the full structure of the blog itself.. this is sort of how they viewed it.

They believed this all encoming force resided in all things and even in the absence of things.

This is why the Hindu people say Namaste and bow to all those that they encounter. It means “I bow to the “Brahman” in you”.

From the Vedas to the Vacuum:

Science Catches Up

Now flash forward eight to ten thousand years.

Quantum physics and mechanics have begun to shift our entire understanding of existence. Suddenly, ideas once thought mystical or magickal now feel strangely plausible.

While modern science hasn’t “proven” ancient metaphysical ideas, it hasn’t ruled them out either. If anything, the door has been cracked open wider than ever before.

Emerging theories suggest we and all things, might be fragments of a self sustaining organism, one that evolves and persists through a sort of internal self repeating pattern. It consumes itself. Recycles itself. Living by digesting its own form.

This makes the ancient image of the ouroboros (the snake eating its own tail) feel less like metaphor and more like cosmic biology.

The Vampyre and the Fractal

So when Billy Corgan sings “The world is a vampire…” from this grander viewpoint, maybe he’s not terribly far off.

All life lives off other life. And yes - plants count. Even stars, in a way, are recognized by science to be alive, at least energetically and systematically.

It’s always fascinated me that one star must die and one must live in order for us to exist- as we are comprised of mostly dead star matter.

Not so coincidentally, we see this these many phenomena paralleled in fractals.

Fractals are complex geometric patterns where each part resembles the whole, often created by repeating a simple process infinitely.

These patterns are self similar at different scales and can be found both in mathematics and in nature ; like in snowflakes, coastlines and broccoli.

To the ancients, everything was alive in a spiritual sense. The existence was in essence, eating its own tail.

There are many today that suggest that the Earth may be a living conscious being.

Could the dark be alive, too? Is everything feeding off of everything, everywhere?

Could the vampyre, a creature that feeds on life to extend its own, be more than just folklore?

Could it represent the very underlying nature of existence itself?

Beyond The Physical

This vampiric nature of reality isn’t only physical - it’s psychological and emotional too.

We often hear the term “energy vampire” used to describe people who drain us emotionally, yet few stop to consider that this dynamic is universal.

We all feed off energy in some form. We’re uplifted by positivity, love, inspiration, connection and weighed down or depleted by negativity like fear, anger, or despair.

Whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly exchanging energy with the world and with each other, drawing from it, giving to it or being consumed by it. In this sense, the vampire becomes less a monster in the shadows and more a mirror held to human nature and perhaps all nature.

In Closing

Could this be what truly draws us to the dark… and to vampires?

Could this perhaps be the thread that links our fascination with sex, death, blood and all the things that both horrify and hypnotize us?

Because, somewhere deep within, we sense a truth we can’t quite quite identify or comprehend - that whatever consumes us… is also us - as well as that which births us into existence.

Could this also explain the fractal nature of reality - patterns repeating themselves on every level, from galaxies to atoms to DNA?

“If” that is the case and all is truly one,

where does that leave us and is there ever truly loss or death of any kind?

Or merely just transmutation, transformation and reintegration?

I ask myself these things often.

Am I the only one?

There is no definitive right or wrong answer… at least not for now..

What do you think?
