the infinity of your actions

Life can be mundane when you forget the infinite possibilities that lie just at your fingertips.

Perhaps you don’t always feel like reaching for the stars on a daily basis, but every action, no matter how small, sends out a great fractal ripple that echoes into vast cosmic possibilities.

In chaos theory, this is reflected in the butterfly effect. The flap of a butterfly’s wings in one part of the world could set off a chain reaction leading to a hurricane elsewhere. A single decision, a shift in thought, or a tiny habit change can alter the entire trajectory of your reality.

Fractal Universe Theory and How It Applies

I have explored the fractal nature of the universe. Fractal-like patterns appear everywhere, from the metaphysical frameworks of our lives to the physical formations of leaves, coastlines, forests, and river networks, stretching as far as the cosmos itself.

Alongside thinkers like Benoit Mandelbrot, Terence McKenna, and others, I have come to the conclusion that we live in a fractal universe.

This applies in many ways to our lives. I believe that understanding fractal patterns and the nature of a fractal universe is a master key to deeper wisdom.

Fractal universe theory suggests that patterns repeat at every scale of existence, from the microscopic to the cosmic. This means that even the smallest actions, our thoughts, habits, and daily routines, are part of a larger, self-similar structure that shapes our lives. In other words, there is an infinity in our actions.

Alchemical Philosophy

This idea is deeply intertwined with the concept of the macrocosm and microcosm in alchemy.

The macrocosm is the great world, representing the vast universe, the cosmos, and divine order. It reflects planetary movements, celestial influences, and the alchemical transformations of nature.

The microcosm is the human being. Just as the universe undergoes cycles of change and transformation, so does the body, mind, and soul. In alchemy, the body's internal processes were seen as a mirror of cosmic alchemical transformations.

Ancient alchemists believed that the same forces governing the stars also shape human existence and all living existence . This principle is often summed up by the famous Hermetic quote:

"As above, so below. As within, so without."

The Fractal Nature of Symbolic Wisdom in Everyday Action

So, we now understand that there is infinite possibility, and that our actions ripple out into the universe in ways that can cause great change. But how do we apply this in our daily lives in a way that is actually useful?

What if I told you that every action carries symbolic value, reflecting in everything we do through the lessons we learn, lessons that take root in the subconscious and unfold through deeper transformational processes?

Transformation isn’t always dramatic, but it is always happening, constantly refining, breaking down, and reconstructing our inner world in ways that ripple out into every aspect of our existence.

Often, different habits in our lives stem from the same underlying pattern. And when we refine even a single habit, we create a shift that reflects across all others, revealing the deeper lesson we are here to learn.

Personal Example:

I had noticed a strange tendency in myself, one that revealed an unconscious pattern. I seemed to resist finishing things.

I would wash loads of dishes but leave one or two in the sink. I would start a book but move on to the next before finishing the first. I would respond to every email except the last few.I would start paintings and projects without completing them.

Then one day, I caught myself standing at the sink, staring at the last two unwashed cups. My usual instinct was to leave them, but something in me shifted.

I chose to break the pattern, to finish the task completely.

And suddenly, I realised this wasn’t just about dishes. It was a fractal pattern playing out across my entire life.

That one small decision, to finish what I started, wasn’t just about two cups. It was about my ability to complete books, follow through on emails, and bring creative projects to completion.

Each time we face ourselves, even slightly, we create a wave of positive change.

Mastering the Mundane to Unlock the Infinite

Don’t you think that if more people understood that mastering the mundane tasks in life creates profound shifts in their ability to do greater things, they would approach their habits differently?

What if people knew that washing the last dish, finishing the last page, or tying up a loose end wasn’t just a task, but a symbolic act shaping their entire reality?

Small actions are never just small.

They are fractal blueprints, repeating across all levels of existence. When we master the small, we unlock the infinite.
