What simple formula explains the workings of the entire universe?

Indeed the more complex the universe appears to be, the simpler it becomes. Why: the beautiful, and remarkable discovery of the Mandelbrot Set is changing the way we perceive the universe. It shows us how the universe works, and hints that the quantum theory of reality is true. It marvellously demonstrates a universe of infinite possibilities.

The mathematical formula for the Mandelbrot Set is simply: Z = Z² + C

Naturally, this simple equation of adding and subtracting leads to some pretty complicated results. So I won't go into the math; instead I will tell you what you will see when this simple equation is let loose.

When this formula is calculated you will see the Mandelbrot Set: an organic almost human like Buddha looking structure, like balls stacked up upon each other, like a snow man. The odd thing is that when one magnifies this shape, and you look at its edges it does not lose its definition. You can go as deeply as you want, to a trillionth power if you like, and the wild branching image of the Mandelbrot Set just keeps on evolving into infinity, with perfect definition. It never goes out of focus. It's sort of like when you hold up a mirror behind your head in the bathroom and look at your reflection to see yourself copied, stretching out like an accordion into infinity. Only in the Mandelbrot Set each copy is different. Indeed, this might not seem a big deal, but this is staggering. Yes, this seems to describe the universe; it embodies every aspect of it, describing all things in fractals.

What are fractals? Just take a hike into the forest and you will be surrounded by fractals. Because just think of trees as being made of fractals. You will see fractals in its branches. New stems of a tree are basically copies, or variations, of the trunk and its branches. The tree just copies itself: as the tree branches out, its smallest units mirror its largest units. Yet each part, although cloned from the original, becomes, at the same time, uniquely different having its own characteristics, its own strengths, leaves, colors, twists, and fruits. This is where we see the infinite possibilities, and quantum theory coming into play, each unique copy that stems out is a fractal. Fractals are repeated through out the universe, not jut in trees, but from the smallest microcosm to the biggest macrocosm, from the stemming and branching of the neurons in our brains, to the spiral forms of the galaxies; through the universe at all levels of infinity, just like the beautiful images that the Mandelbrot Set infinitely produces.

So there seems to be 2 elements that are at the heart of cosmic reality: a constant never changing source like the organic Buddha shape of the Mandelbrot Set, from which the second element stems out: the ever changing, evolving, fractal tree of chaos, of freedom, of infinite possibilities. Thus, we are connected to one infinitely similar source, which becomes infinitely different.

But this is not enough. The purpose of WTB was to create a paradigm shift by connecting spirit with science, and creating a collective, holistic reality, so let's take this a step further. Let's look briefly at the ancient world to the beginning of Christianity. The ancient world called this Mandelbrot source: God, or better Daemon, or Higher Self through which all of life, all reality, all of everything, branches out from the source. Enlightened initiates of the pagan, (or even the original Christians called Gnostics,) mysteries discovered that actually there is one Daemon or Higher Self shared by all (like the Mandelbrot Set) a universal self which inhabits every being. Each soul is part of the one soul of god. So to know ones self therefore is to know god. (Self knowledge was the ultimate goal in the mysteries, for only than would you achieve enlightenment)

This means we are all one, or like the WTB book calls: entangled, (the entanglement theory) and at the same time fractals, infinitely different, possessing infinite possibilities, living in a limitless universe. The bizarre thing is if you read my book “Creator” (I know I'm plugging my book here, but I'm so excited I just can't help myself) which in fact takes place in ancient times, actually expands on the ideas in WTB before WTB was even produced. I wrote the book 5 years before, but essentially, although it is a historical fantasy book, I am saying the same things as WTB, but going into physical descriptions of how thought processes might function in order to create our own realities. The exciting thing here for me is that this proves the quantum entanglement theory, and that there is no time and space. We are all expressing similarities, but at the same time completely unique in our expressions, our creations, connected to the source, but infinitely different in our own universe of possibilities!
