The Buddhabrot - The Fractal Image That Unlocked Carl Jung’s Deepest Theory | After Skool
Summary
Dr. Harry Shirley explores Carl Jung’s concept of the Unus Mundus, arguing that mind and matter are unified through number. He introduces the "Buddha Brot," a fractal pattern derived from the Mandelbrot set, claiming it serves as an archetypal bridge between the unconscious and the physical universe. The episode connects this mathematical structure to ancient symbols, alchemy, and psychedelic art, suggesting that recognizing this hidden order allows individuals to transcend divisions and find their place within a coherent, meaningful reality.
