Check out Fractals!!

I first read about fractals in Gregg Braden's Fractal time.  Then I watched what Nassim Harramein said about fractals.  It is sacred geometry and modern physics at the same time.  Too much to fit into one blog post and I am on vacation after all.  So thanks to whoever wrote this article:
How Fractals Work

Fractals are a paradox. Amazingly simple, yet infinitely complex. New, but older than dirt. What are fractals? Where did they come from? Why should I care?

Unconventional 20th century mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot created the term fractal from the Latin word fractus (meaning irregular or fragmented) in 1975. These irregular and fragmented shapes are all around us. At their most basic, fractals are a visual expression of a repeating pattern or formula that starts out simple and gets progressively more complex.

One of the earliest applications of fractals came about well before the term was even used. Lewis Fry Richardson was an English mathematician in the early 20th century studying the length of the English coastline. He reasoned that the length of a coastline depends on the length of the measurement tool. Measure with a yardstick, you get one number, but measure with a more detailed foot-long ruler, which takes into account more of the coastline's irregularity, and you get a larger number, and so on.

Carry this to its logical conclusion and you end up with an infinitely long coastline containing a finite space, the same paradox put forward by Helge von Koch in the Koch Snowflake. This fractal involves taking a triangle and turning the central third of each segment into a triangular bump in a way that makes the fractal symmetric. Each bump is, of course, longer than the original segment, yet still contains the finite space within. Weird, but rather than converging on a particular number, the perimeter moves towards infinity. Mandelbrot saw this and used this example to explore the concept of fractal dimension, along the way proving that measuring a coastline is an exercise in approximation [source: NOVA].

Here's to the wonderful well educated people at rev can

Sometimes people who work for our wonderful government don't originally come from this country.  So in the interests of the further education of said individuals and with the map (note the scale!) at left as a visual aid, let me help you all to understand something that apparently someone who works there finds it difficult to understand.  It is a very long way from Ontario to British Columbia.  I know this comes as a shock but it is  NOT a commutable distance on a routine basis.  Someone at REV CAN apparently thinks so because they are asking me to prove that I didn't live in Ontario and commute to BC for my work every day.  They have my T4 but somehow they think I drove the 5000 km one way distance each day and back .  REALLY?
I have two problems with this:  1.  It defies common sense and I would like to think (call me madcap!) that I subsidize a government which employs people who have that elusive quality, or who can at least google a map to be sure if what they are saying makes any sense at all.  2.  Doesn't our legal system operate on the premise that one is innocent until proven guilty?  How then does it not behoove Rev Can to prove that I lived there and commuted instead of putting the onus on me to do the opposite? 
We have a serious problem in this country Canadians!  The government is supposed to be set up for the people to serve the people's needs.  Not to oppress us when we pay for its existence.  We only really need the government to take care of threats to our national sovereignty.  All the rest we have given them due to our own laziness and lack of initiative.  We really need to stand up and take back our power. 
I'm probably not supposed to question their actions but I still believe in free speech.  And by the way when there is a power imbalance and someone is using their power to hurt someone else - that is called bullying!   Just saying'

Passion and emprisonment

Here a look at the ideal and the reality.  Reality is different of course depending on the level of consciousness you have available to you.  The ideal is that you know yourself and raise your vibration as high as possible and that you accomplish your purpose.  Plainly put, everyone needs to be able to actualize to the fullest their own potential.  This in turn helps the entire species.  That is the ideal.  The second illustration is indicative of the reality that many people struggle with.  It is emprisonment within a belief system. Change your thoughts, change your life.  It sounds simple.  But it is only simple if you know who and what you are.

It is interesting that the root word of culture is "cult".  In a cult, which is almost universally perceived as negative, one is inculcated into a particular belief system (sometimes so successfully that one no longer perceives other belief systems as having any validity) and restricted from exercising non-regulated freedom both by other cult members and by the authorities of that cult  One's life is presided over and there is a very real threat of punishment.  Banishment or loss of social privileges is the worst punishment possible.  Individualism is always given up for the good of the whole.  We will often perceive that cults are myopic and dangerous yet we do not perceive reality as just as restrictive.  Stand back and take a look - it's not a pretty sight. It is possible to transcend it however.

Forgiveness - the key to joy!

I am not a religious person.  Yet there is one salient point on which all religions agree - forgiveness is essential to peace of mind.  There is a regrettable tendency toward hatred and retribution in our world.  It causes unhappiness.  If you don't adopt an attitude of detachment rather than an attitude of hatred and anger toward someone who has wronged you or a difficult situation which arises in your life, you are the one who suffers.  It is like the old story of two monks walking alongside a stream.  There was an old woman waiting to get across but the stream was rushing and she was frightened.  She asked the monks to help her. One of them refused outright. This was not technically allowed, they were not to have contact with a woman. But one of the monks had compassion on the woman and helped her across.  He took her on his back and waded through the strong current, leaving her on the other side of the river and wading back. The other felt resentful as his fellow monk had broken a rule.  He didn't say anything but inside he was angry.  At the next rest stop, he finally criticized the monk who had helped the woman.  The compassionate monk was surprised and asked, "You are still carrying that woman?  I put her down on the other side of the river, three miles back!"
When we hold anger and resentment in our hearts, we are carrying burdens and making life more difficult for ourselves.  We are the ones imprisoned by our sour attitudes and we are the only ones who can set ourselves free. Not only is it emotionally constricting, cutting us off from more positive people and experiences but it is bad for our health.  This is a documented fact.
What do you do to free yourself?  Forgive everyone who has ever wronged you.  Make a list of people you have been angry with.  Then go through the list and in your mind (or out loud if you prefer) I forgive you.  I release you.  I wish you well.  Send love to that person.  It is an extremely freeing exercise.

How many of these type of lightbulbs do you have in your house?  I'll bet know you are thinking back - did I ever break any?
I remember reading an article about the person who invented plastic garbage bags.  At first the man was heralded as a hero - after all the previous practice was to throw all your trash into the garbage tin, haul it to the larger one outside, dump it into it and then haul the large one to the curb on garbage day.  They you had the wonderful job of taking the small one inside and scrubbing away all the residue of the garbage before repeating the process.  Rather labour intensive, right?  So when this guy comes along and offers people an alternative to that, well, he's a hero!  The only problem is that they don't biodegrade.  Flash forward to now and our problems of too much waste that doesn't biodegrade and the filling of our landfill.  The former way may not have been pleasant but it did at least not cause an eco hazard. 
Why do we allow businesses to produce dangerous products and not hold them accountable?  They should have to clean up the problems they produce!  How fast would some of the companies that produce plastics try to find a biodegradable (and not a percentage mind you!  A real bio degradable bag!!) garbage bag if they were going to have to start picking each and every one up out of landfill.  Maybe we need to stand up and demand such things!  Like now!
