Fractals of God - An Everyday Guide

by Ashman Roonz

Have you ever looked closely enough at a tree that each branch looks like a smaller version of the whole tree. The tiny branches mirror the big ones, which mirror the trunk's pattern. Or think about coastlines, zoom in on any section and it looks just like the bigger picture, with the same jagged, intricate edges repeating at every scale.

This repeating pattern has a name: fractals. And this simple idea might just change how you think about yourself and the divine.

You're Not a Broken Piece; You're a Complete Pattern

Most of us grow up thinking we're somehow separate from God... like we're broken pieces trying to find our way back to wholeness. But what if that's backwards?

What if you're not a fragment of something bigger, but a complete pattern that shares the same design as the ultimate reality we call God?

Think of it this way: A small fern leaf has the exact same intricate pattern as the whole fern plant. It's not part of the fern, it is the fern, just expressed at a different size. You're like that leaf. You're not part of God trying to get back to God. You already are the divine pattern, living and breathing and making choices.

What Makes God "God"

Instead of thinking of God as a big person sitting somewhere else, imagine God as the living center of everything that exists. Like:

• The point where everything comes together
• The creative force that makes new things possible
• The wholeness that holds everything together
• The endless creativity that keeps reality flowing

God isn't in a place. God is the aliveness in every place, the pattern that shows up everywhere you look.

You Are a Living Center Too

Just like God is a center where everything comes together and new things emerge, so are you. Every day, you:

• Gather experiences, thoughts, and feelings into your unique self
• Create new responses, ideas, and choices from that center
• Express something completely original that only you can offer

You're not trying to become divine, you already are a divine center in action. You're a place where the universe gathers itself together and then creates something new.

The Big Picture Connection

Scientists tell us the universe began with the Big Bang... everything exploding outward from a single point. But even that cosmic beginning was just one expression of the deeper creative pattern.

You experience mini "big bangs" all the time:

• When you take a breath (gathering) and speak (creating)
• When you listen deeply (gathering) and respond with love (creating)
• When you learn something new (gathering) and share it (creating)

The same pattern that births galaxies is the pattern of your daily life.

What This Means for How You Live

If you're already a complete expression of the divine pattern, then:

Your attention matters tremendously. Where you focus, you're actively shaping reality. When you really pay attention to someone, something sacred happens.

Your creativity is genuinely divine. That song you hum, the way you solve problems, how you make people laugh, this isn't just human activity. It's the divine creating through you.

Healing happens by remembering wholeness. You don't need to be fixed because you're not broken. Sometimes you just need to remember the complete pattern you already are.

Your uniqueness serves the whole. You're not supposed to be like everyone else. Your particular way of being divine adds something essential that no one else can contribute.

Ethics becomes about harmony. Instead of following rules to avoid punishment, you choose actions that strengthen the beautiful pattern everyone is part of.

This Isn't Just a Nice Idea

This isn't poetry or wishful thinking. Look around and you'll see the fractal pattern everywhere:

• River systems branch like blood vessels like lightning like tree roots
• Your lungs branch like rivers like coral like neural networks
• Galaxies spiral like hurricanes like sunflowers like DNA
• Social groups form the same patterns as atoms, solar systems, and ecosystems

The same organizing principle that shapes atoms shapes communities. The same creative force that makes flowers bloom makes you capable of love, art, and breakthrough moments.

Living the Pattern

To live as a fractal of God means recognizing that you're both:

• A center where life gathers itself together (like breathing in)
• A source from which new life flows out (like breathing out)

You don't have to achieve this or earn it. You just have to notice it and cooperate with it.

When you feel overwhelmed, remember: you're not a small, separate thing trying to handle life alone. You're a complete expression of the same creative wholeness that runs the entire universe.

When you create something... a meal, a conversation, a solution... you're not just being human. You're being the divine pattern in action.

When you love someone, you're not just having a personal feeling. You're participating in the fundamental force that holds everything together.

The Simple Truth

You are not outside the pattern looking in. You are not separate from the source trying to get back.

You are the pattern, gathering and creating, breathing and choosing, loving and becoming.

You are a complete, living expression of whatever created and sustains everything that is.

And that changes everything.
