Spiritual Sunday Smorgasbord

Before leaving for my EFM class, I thought I should put up a new post, at very least linking to Oscar's Word for the Week (which he is more than welcome to just come over here and post his own self). And a link to Pastor Dan's Word for the Week as well as a reminder to check out the many interesting diaries over at Street Prophets. "What are your afterlife plans?" looks especially intriguing, althought I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet. I'm amused that the first comment reads "Dinner and a movie?", because, for some reason, that's the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the question. Anyway, it occurred to me to check my email at the howardempowered at gmail.com address to see if anyone had sent in a new post, and found one from Subway, which I've posted below. Anyway, "Spiritual Sunday Smorgasbord" seemed a fitting title for the assortment of stuff in this post. So, Bon Appetit! Enjoy this entry with a fine Merl--with the beverage of your choice.

How To Find God?
Do The Math!

When I was in the third grade we were given something called "The New Math." Having little experience with numbers it really didn't seem any different from "The Old Math" which I hadn't really understood either. (Didn't you just hate long division?)

Well folks, there is a new math in town that's even older than The Old Math and I've been studying it's ramifications for the world we live in. It's called "Fractal Geometry" and it shows on a grand scale that God has essentially created a "paint by numbers" universe.

I was first introduced to fractal Geometry by Dan Winter, creator of "Cardiofeedback." His writings on the subject showed me how fractals are the numerical underpinning of the universe and are evident everywhere you look from the sub atomic to the galactic.

Winter's work shows that the human heart is the "Fractal Attractor" that connects physical existence with the "Magnetic Event" that we often refer to as "The Soul." (This will be the subject of my Tuesday post.")

But on the fun side, fractals can be played with and enjoyed. I am currently playing with a toy called Fractal Explorer 2.02 that allows me to create amazing infinite images. I'm even learning how to create short animated fractal movies. For those of you out there with high speed internet, I have found someone in google that has animated fractals that you can download. These are large files, 30+MB but well worth the free price of admission. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Added note from Renee--my friend Damon, whose nmazca blog I linked to last night, has a page of fractal images here.
