Ordered Chaos.
The phenomena of organized structures arising out of the complex patterns of chaos. I think we often tend to view chaos negatively, or as a state separate from our current experience. I think the idea of ordered chaos sums it up more correctly. It is all chaos! Chaos is not necessarily violent, dark, or confusing. Perhaps it is only this unpredictability that allows for such magical synchronicities to unfold.
Fractals as patterns of complex systems
I in no way understand the math underlying fractals or complex systems. I do find it fascinating that you can see fractals occur as patterns in nature. This would point toward fractals being patterns arising from complex systems. I also think it is very interesting that mandalas remind me so much of fractals. Human expression reveals the same patterns as the rest of nature! I read somewhere that fractals were found in Jackson Pollack paintings..
Consciousness out of Chaos
It would be easy to see how our consciouness could be a phenomena arising out of our complex structure (including brain, body, spirit, etc) There is an interesting school of study that considers our mind arising out of our embodiment. Our consciousness shaped by our physical experience, from the neural level, to our expereince of our bodies moving in space. Consciousness arising out of the complexity of our entire being, not just the complexity of our neural maps. Our wholeness is our consciousness. I think it is hard for the western mind to grasp that we can experience our wholeness without having present in the front of our consciousness every single cellular action happening in the body.
