I’m a huge fan! From my first introduction to Bruce Lipton’s work way-back-when, to a recent sound clip on Fractal Wisdom through the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, I am always open to and welcoming of any and all that Bruce has to share with the world. For more than 15 years, his work has woven through my own as one of the thicker, brighter and stronger threads in these tapestries of discovery. In his work lies the key to a much deeper discovery of Self.

In the WEL-Systems® work that I created, I am so mindful of the power of Bruce’s science to help us ‘make sense’ of the magic of who we are; and in this sense, giving ourselves permission to move beyond that logic and into the domain of living the magic. We are profoundly capable of manifesting a more meaningful way for us to live - quickly, without struggle and with the full force of the essence of our being as that which propels our creations.

Bruce’s work has given us the science of the powerful, living, organic bio-processor that we already are. With him and through him and because of him, we have come to ‘know’ ourselves so differently! For a long time, my belief has been that Bruce’s work does not just define who we are as human beings but completely redefines what a human being is! We are far more than we have been taught to believe we are.

I believe that Bruce’s work has made it possible for us to discover the bio-processor that we already are. What does a bio-processor do? It processes... something!... that in doing so, profoundly alters the living, organic device itself. What is that ‘something’ that we’re processing? Information... or energy; signals or impulses... bursts of LIfeForce in flow! I wonder what would become available to us if we were to discover the science of the signals, as Bruce has discovered the science of the device itself?

Over the years, my work with others has been about exploring the signals - from outside the device of us (i.e. external reference, cultural conditioning, the rules/expectations/etc.), from inside the device of us (i.e. history, wisdom of experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, parts, strategies, anchors, etc) and from the essence of us (ie. Self, that which generates ‘life’ as present). There is indeed, a dance that goes on between these signals that ultimately determines how we move through our world, how we live and who we believe ourselves to be capable of becoming. (For more on the bio-processor and Signals Dancing™, refer to NLP - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Shifting Sands and New Paradigms - Parts II and III.)

We live our lives, from one generation to the next, oblivious to the power of the process... of the forces... that shape us (each of us, individually and collectively) and what we call ‘culture’. There is a powerful, predictable process in play - a process of behavioral fractals - that is the force that shapes culture. Most of us don’t notice.

Like fractals exist in nature, so do we exist in nature. Like we are physical fractals of the generation before us, we are also behaviour fractals of the generation before us. Family systems are the units from which the fractals of ‘us’ (ie. chip off the old block!) replicate in the living, organic collectives we call our world.

We are fractals of those who came before us. Like we replicate eye color and shape of nose, we also replicate behaviors, in ways that ultimately shape the choices we make and the quality of our lives. Once we understand and appreciate the power of Nested Living Systems™* and Androgynous Baby™* as forces that shape culture; once we understand that these forces are the underpinnings of the creation of behavioral fractals, we can quickly and with great ease redefine ourselves and ultimately, our creations and co-creations. We cannot mindfully co-create until and unless we can mindfully create.

From a levels of thinking perspective**, fractals in nature are perceived at the level of Environment and the physical world. At a higher order of thought (Behaviour) , we can also perceive the impact of fractals and begin to seek out the underpinnings of fractals that hold these behaviors in place. As we move up levels of thinking to that which represents the ‘life force’ or ‘energy’ that shapes the matter we have become, we can find the point of leverage that will allow us to redefine ‘Self’ in ways that accelerate the profound, vast and prolific change we require to redefine ourselves, our world and our future.
