Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science & The Fractal Self Sustaining Nature of Reality

“As above, so below.”

This ancient phrase echoes across cultures, from Hermetic alchemy to Vedic philosophy. It suggests a cosmic mirroring, that what happens on one level of existence is reflected on all others.

But what did this really mean to those who lived thousands of years ago?

Brahman: The Unknowable All

To the ancient Vedic seers and later Hindu mystics, everything and everyone was part of something bigger.

They had gods and goddesses, to be sure; yet even their vast pantheon was seen as a subset of a greater whole.

They called this greater whole, Brahman.

Not so much a “god” in the Western sense but the ultimate, unnameable totality of all things.

And interestingly, Brahman was never claimed to be a man or a woman, or even something truly understandable. The earliest texts are clear that this “force” or origin and endpoint of all existence was fundamentally unknowable from the human perspective.

It makes sense that if one were the letter “a” in this blog, they likely couldn’t comprehend the full structure of the blog itself..

From the Vedas to the Vacuum:

Science Catches Up

Now flash forward eight to ten thousand years.

Quantum physics and mechanics have begun to shift our entire understanding of existence. Suddenly, ideas once thought mystical or magickal now feel strangely plausible.

While modern science hasn’t “proven” ancient metaphysical ideas, it hasn’t ruled them out either. If anything, the door has been cracked open wider.

In fact, emerging theories suggest we and all things, might be fragments of a self sustaining organism, one that evolves and persists through a sort of internal self repeating pattern. It consumes itself. Recycles itself. Living by digesting its own form.

This makes the ancient image of the ouroboros (the snake eating its own tail) feel less like metaphor and more like cosmic biology.

The Vampyre and the Fractal

So when Billy Corgan sings “The world is a vampire…” from this grander viewpoint, maybe he’s not terribly far off.

All life lives off other life. And yes - plants count. Even stars, in a way, are recognized by science to be alive, at least energetically and systematically.

Some suggest the Earth may be a living conscious being.

Could the dark be alive, too?

Could the vampyre, a creature that feeds on life to extend its own, be more than just folklore?

Could it metaphorically represent life itself?

Beyond The Physical

This vampiric nature of reality isn’t only physical - it’s psychological and emotional, too.

We often hear the term “energy vampire” used to describe people who drain us emotionally, yet few stop to consider that this dynamic is universal.

We all feed off energy in some form. We’re uplifted by positivity, love, inspiration, connection and weighed down or depleted by negativity like fear, anger, or despair.

Whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly exchanging energy with the world and with each other, drawing from it, giving to it or being consumed by it. In this sense, the vampire becomes less a monster in the shadows and more a mirror held to human nature itself.

In Closing

Maybe this is what truly draws us to the dark… to vampires.

Could this perhaps be the thread that links our fascination with sex, death, blood and all the things that both horrify and hypnotize us?

Because, somewhere deep within, we sense a truth we can’t quite quite identify or comprehend -

that whatever consumes us… is also us as well as that which births us into existence.

Could this also explain the fractal nature of reality - patterns repeating themselves on every level, from galaxies to atoms to DNA?

“If” that is the case and all is truly one,

then is there ever really loss or death of any kind?

Or merely just transmutation, transformation and reintegration?

I ask myself these things often.

Am I the only one?

There is no definitive right or wrong answer… at least not for now..

What do you think?
