September 28: The Buddhabrot - The Fractal That Unlocks. Carl Jung’s Deepest Theory

Dr Harry Shirley has made an incredible connection, linking the Buddhabrot (a beautiful fractal pattern) to Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes and depth psychology. We can see hints of this connection in art, alchemical images, ancient monuments and religious architecture. Before Carl Jung died, he hypothesized that numbers are the link between mind and matter. Several decades after Carl Jung's death, mathematicians stumbled upon the Buddhabrot set, which forms an entirely numerical iteration, derived from a simple mathematical formula, which produces an image that looks like a spirit being.
