How the truth of the universe stirs the soul
Have you ever seen something–a mathematical concept, a masterful literary work or music composition–something that is intangible yet displayed by the beauty that expresses it—that you spontaneously, involuntarily sob from the depths of your being because the beauty is so overwhelming?
That is what happens to me from time to time when I see a Spiritual concept in the Bible or as of late, the concept of fractal geometry and how it relates to Creation.
I have always been fascinated with fractal geometry and have had some inspiriting insights myself. I had planned to write down the thoughts, but have procrastinated.
Now I have found an author who expertly expresses the relationship between fractal geometry and the language of the Bible and Creation.
Here is an excerpt from the author’s blog https://in-light-of-eternity.com.
The Fractal Bible Series
What if the unity you sense in Scripture is not accidental — but patterned?
From the opening words of Genesis to the closing vision of the New Jerusalem, the Bible unfolds according to a single repeating rule: Creation. Fracture. Restoration. The same rhythm that shapes the natural world — coastlines, galaxies, snowflakes — runs through every movement of redemptive history. This is not a modern overlay imposed on the text. It is the Bible’s own heartbeat, and once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
The Fractal Bible Series traces that pattern across the whole canon, placing Jesus Christ at the center of every iteration.
The book is The Divine Fractal. https://payhip.com/b/q0LrD
As I read it, even if I did not grasp it fully, I uncontrollable and involuntarily sobbed with joy. It was as if a light flashed in my understanding that struck my soul with surge of deep emotion. The divine truth rang true. I knew it without fully knowing it. And when you grasp something of the Divine, of God, of Jesus Christ, of the whole creation, something that is so big, so vast, so deliberately ordered, so beautiful, you no longer are afraid of anything. If God is that big, what do I have to worry about.
This kind of experience makes me think about an interview or a documentary about the famous pianist Glenn Gould (25 September 1932 – 4 October 1982).
By the age of 3 years old he could read the compositions of Bach. Dramatizations of Gould’s life claim that three-year-old Gould used the structural, mathematical perfection of Bach’s counterpoint to mentally defeat the frightening, unpredictable chaos of the dark.
Here, too, it was the structural language of math that brought Gould calmness, even peace.
Order out of Chaos. We haven’t even begun to plumb the depths.
