![lucifelle:
The universe follows a fractal pattern of a double torus shown above. The double torus is the result of two opposing forces reaching equilibrium thereby forming a recursive feedback loop. This is the same concept portrayed in the Ouroboros symbol:
The alchemists, who in their own way knew more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. The Ouroboros has been said to have a meaning of infinity or wholeness. In the age-old image of the Ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the more astute alchemists that the prima materia of the art was man himself. The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This ‘feed-back’ process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and he therefore constitutes the secret of the prima materia which […] unquestionably stems from man’s unconscious.](http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lunu2wqV1b1qadg42o1_400.gif)

Here Comes the Fairy Tale Part. :-)
I've decided to move this Experiment to my Diary Blog cause this is where it gets Trippy. I moved three years ago to Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, a very Old City. Next month I'm moving Downtown. It's like living in Disney Land and as an Experiment I thought it would be fun to photo places around town as I meet new people.
