The Spiral Points the Way

The Spiral Points the Way

Bernard Beitman

Last night, I went to bed wondering whom to ask to write the foreword to my new book, Meaningful Coincidences. Many names popped around. How about the psychologist who knows fractals so well? After all, the sky on the book cover is dominated by the Golden Spiral, which is derived from fractals based on the Fibonacci sequence.

After a few yeses, noes, and maybes, I picked up a novel to do my usual morning reading. It’s called The Magician’s Land. In the book, a botanist is looking at a weird plant on a very old document page. He says, “The leaf arrangement looks chaotic, but it isn’t. It follows a mathematical sequence. Usually Fibonacci or Lucas…”

So this magical book confirmed that I should consider asking Terry Marks-Tarlow to write the foreword to Meaningful Coincidences.

This is not the first time this book has mirrored what is going on in my life.

Curious how that works…

Reality regularly mirrors our minds. Outer reflects inner.
