In 1610 God Was a Binary, Fractal, Self-Replicating Algorithm

Jakob Boehme, a simple shoemaker born in the 15th century, suddenly realized one day that “God was a binary, fractal, self-replicating algorithm and that the universe was a genetic matrix resulting from the existential tension created by His desire for self-knowledge.”

Talk about incredible! A man whose education consisted of the Bible and proper sole curvature came up with a postulation that unifies religion and contemporary quantum theories of the universe during a stroke of intuition. The man has gone on to inspire such minds as Friedrich Nietzsche, to Georg Willhelm, to Philip K. Dick to Adam Weishaupt.

His work integrates, involves, and unifies kabbalah, alchemy, theosophy, sacred geometry, yin and yang, cosmology, and enlightenment.

A mind far ahead of it’s time!

Fractals were not discovered yet in 1610

  You’re referring to the Mandelbrot set. That was “discovered” in 1975. It’s not that fractals were discovered at this time, more that they were finally put into words and expressed mathematically. The idea of a fractal, or something that fractals/self repeats was still an idea/notion long before that.

Only problem is, the term fractal was not coined until the 20th century. Even the study of fractals was not initiated until the 17th century.

  Can you provide some sources for that? I am very interested in learning more.

  Though the term wasn’t coined yet, the conceptualization of a fractals had already taken place long before even the 17th century.

    Maybe that is true, but you directly used the word “fractal” in the quote attributed to someone from the 15th century. For that matter, the words “existential” was not around yet either. Yes, perhaps the concept, but not that succinct words, which you have in the “quotation”. Simply makes it very difficult to believe that this is even close to a real quotation, which casts a cloud over the entire article.

    The quote is not from Jakob Boehme. It is from the site I referenced that is hyperlinked into Boehme’s name. The article I quoted is not from the 15th century. I agree that to put words into Boehme’s mouth is wrong, but that is not what occurred. Using words like “fractal” and “existential” to describe Boehme’s theory is just semantics. If in 200 years a fractal is referred to as a “farmel,” saying that Boehme theorized God as a type of farmel would still be correct as they are synonymous.

“Man is made out of the seed of the earth, out of an incorporated or compacted mass or lump— [” Understand, out of the matrix of the earth,
wherein the eye is twofold, the one in God and the other in this world, out of three Principles.”] —and not out of the wrath, but out of the birth or geniture of the earth, as a king or heart of the earth, and stood in the astral birth or
geniture in the part of the love; but wrath hung to him, which he should have put forth from himself, as the fruit putteth forth from itself the bitterness of the tree.”

~ Jacob Boehme, Aurora.
