Fractal Enlightenment

Many of you may know how this blog got the name Fractal Enlightenment, because of this video I came across by Arthur Clarke, Fractals the Color of Infinity.

While I watched that I was pleased to find the entire documentary, ‘Fractals the Color of Infinity’ available to watch online. Its time for you to understand the building blocks of God. Another thing, this explains is how we all are the same. We are one!

An art that has been carried on for centuries, symbolising the universe and believed to create a positive environment. I am referring to the Tibetan Buddhist sacred art of Mandala (means circle in Sanskrit), which is made by monks from millions of grains of dyed sand or paint. A bit similar to Rangoli made by Hindus.

Monks spend days to make this intricate masterpiece, with utmost care and precision, as you will see in the pictures below. Mandalas are believed to assist in purification and healing and represent the Buddhist value of compassion, so the process of making one, as you will find out, involves few rituals, even while destroying the design.

The process of making a mandala starts with an opening ceremony, when the monks will pray and chant to sanctify the place, then draw the detailed design from the center outwards on a wooden platform.

Monks start filling the circular design using metal funnels called ‘chak-pur’. The vibrations of the chak-pur being grated with a metal rod causes the sand to flow like liquid.

Apart from sand even powdered flowers, herbs, stones, or grains are used. In ancient times, powdered precious and semiprecious gems were also used.
The design consists of various deities with the principle deity in the centre of it, so mandala also serves like a meditation tool. Traditionally, mandalas are destroyed shortly after its completion, in a ritual ceremony.
The monks ask for blessings of the deities, and as they chant the mandala is slowly wiped off to serve a reminder of impermanence of life, a Buddhist teaching. The sand is then collected and dispersed into the sea to spread its healing power to the world, you know the the power of thoughts on water molecules, it transforms into beautiful designs.

“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.” ~ Peace Pilgrim

Our thoughts and intentions manifest into reality. They have the power to change our lives. Even the food prepared with love and positive thoughts would taste better.

Ever wondered why home-made food always tastes better than restaurant food or canned food?

Besides, the use of fresher and possibly more nutritious ingredients, there is another factor that makes home food better – mother’s love and caring intention.

The act of saying few words of gratitude before eating your meals has a positive effect.

Every culture talks about saying positive words before eating – Christians say grace before their meals, Hindus chant a prayer and sprinkle water around it, Muslims also start eating only after chanting the name of the Divine.

An experiment carried out by scientists at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, examined the roles of intention and belief on mood while drinking tea.

It explored whether drinking tea “treated” with good intentions would have an effect on mood more so than drinking ordinary tea.

They concluded that tea treated with good intentions improved mood more than ordinary tea derived from the same source.

The study stated, “This also suggests that the esthetic and intentional qualities associated with the traditional tea ceremony may have subtle influences that extend beyond the ritual itself.”

We know the power of thoughts and intentions on water; water stamped with positive words was far more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing than that stamped with dark, negative phrases.

With the money-driven lifestyle, we forget what kind of effect thoughts can have on us and our surroundings.

Be mindful; before you eat, or drink water, be thankful for it.

Put love and good intentions into everything you consume, as this will have a direct effect on your physical body.

Following such a simple practice can lead to a better life and healthier living.

Here’s a short and simple universal meal time songs to teach your children 🙂

Masaru Emoto discovered that if thoughts and words are directed at water, the water crystals undergo changes depending upon whether the words or thoughts are positive or negative.

Positive thoughts lead to changes in the water crystals that make some of them look like fractals and snow flakes while negative thoughts make the water look distorted. 

Emoto’s work has been published in his book, “The Message from Water,” it provides evidence that human vibrational energy, thoughts words, ideas and music affect the molecular structure of the water crystal.

One of the most interesting examples of his was the water from the Fujiwara Dam, before and after receiving a prayer from a Zen Buddhist Monk.

We already understand that water is quite malleable, that means it easily takes new physical forms as per the environment it is in, like water in the can takes the shape of the can etc. But we can’t see the molecular structure of it and just like its physical form the molecular form adapts to the environment.

Masaru has documented the changes that water undergoes through environmental stimuli by freezing droplets of water and examining them with a dark field microscope that can take pictures.

Lets take a look at some of his work, I have put a video below that consists of an interview, the way water reacts to particular words and a water molecule responding to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.

Alright from the above video you would have realised that the scientific community does not hold any weight for his experiment because it was not performed using certain standards. So he’s given you a little experiment at the end of the video.

Here’s a couple who decided to try the experiment with the words, “Thank You” and the words “You Fool” with rice in the jar, the first video is the preparation and the second video is the results of the rice 30 days later.

Very interesting isn’t it, our thoughts and words are extremely powerful so when people say think positive, you now know it has a much better effect. Thinking positive is not just one positive thought surrounded by hundreds of negative thoughts.

But positive thoughts not only affect water it can change our entire world, especially when you consider we are 55% – 78% water, and mother earth is covered with 60% of water. So think positive, feel good and live a happy life!
