‘Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. (Luke 13:18-19)

Jesus was describing what this Kingdom of Heaven looked like with the fractal imagery of a system of branches spreading out both below the surface of the earth, as roots, and above the with branches that provide a stable habitation for life. This kingdom pattern, this fractal image of the kingdom of God preached by Christ is a reflection of the spiritual creative power of God. If God’s spirit is rooted in us we will begin to form and be reformed as a society in that image of that Character of God. If the spirit of God is not in us we will become something else, deviant and degenerative….

…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain,
Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matthew 17:20)

A stable diversified social network covering a large area is built on the union of individual intimate cell groups, composed of families with common and fundamental values. The uniting force that unifies them together binds them like a finely woven net.

Like all fractal networks their must be a binding force that keeps the parts together. The nature of that binding force determines the nature of that society. It does not use a restricting or arbitrary power to keep the people together but requires a faithful and diligent commitment of workers that accept responsibility through the exercise of a brotherhood of forgiveness and charity, which is love.

Networks are not massive globs or crowds of tumorous growth. It does require connection points but these points provide a service and are fused by faith and love in hope and charity. In the kingdom those connection points are men who volunteer to serve the needs of the people in coming together.”
