The Fractal Within: Are You a God to Your Cells?

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." — Nikola Tesla
Have you ever considered how your cells perceive you? To them, you are everything. Omnipresent. Omniscient. Omnipotent. You exist everywhere in their universe, governing their survival. Your body delivers oxygen, sends nutrients, removes waste, defends them, repairs them, and responds to their needs without them ever needing to understand how. To your cells, you are their god.
But what if this relationship isn't just biological? What if it's a reflection of a much larger truth?
Omnipresence: The God-Body
You are present in every system your cells depend on. Your circulatory system delivers oxygen. Your immune system fights off threats. Your nervous system communicates commands instantly. Every one of your trillions of cells exists within your influence, constantly maintained by your internal systems.
Now look outward. The universe surrounds life with its own systems. Sunlight powers ecosystems. Gravity holds matter together. Earth's atmosphere provides oxygen. Just as your cells are immersed in you, we are immersed in the universe.
Omniscience: The Body Knows
Your body is incredibly intelligent. It maintains homeostasis, heals wounds, adjusts hormone levels, and eliminates harmful cells. This knowledge isn't conscious—it's systemic. It's distributed across organs and feedback loops, all working toward balance.
Likewise, the biosphere operates with a kind of omniscient balance. Ecosystems regulate themselves. Nutrients cycle. Climates stabilize. The planet supports life with mechanisms that seem to "know" what we need to survive.
Omnipotence: The Power to Sustain or Destroy
Your cells are completely dependent on your actions. When you breathe, eat, drink, or rest, your cells live. When you neglect those needs, they suffer or die. You have absolute power over their world.
Now scale that up. The universe has the power to create stars and destroy them. It gives life to planets and, through natural forces, can end it just as easily. It is omnipotent in the most literal sense.
The Fractal Nature of Creation
This isn’t just a poetic comparison. Fractals are patterns that repeat across scales. We see them in trees, blood vessels, lightning bolts, and galaxies. The micro mirrors the macro. The relationship between you and your cells mirrors the relationship between life and the universe.
Cells don’t need to know how the body works to survive. They signal. The body responds. Similarly, we live within a universe we don't fully understand, but it sustains us.
A Humbling Thought
If you are a god to your cells, and the universe plays a similar role for life, then reality itself may be a nested system of intelligence, order, and balance.
We don’t have to see the whole pattern to be part of it.
So the next time you wonder about your place in the universe, consider this:
You already play god to an entire world within you.
And you may just be a cell in something far greater.
