Fractals, Synchronicity, and the Unus Mundus with Harry Shirley.

What if the strange patterns of mathematics weren’t just abstract shapes, but sacred mirrors of the hidden order behind our lives?
In this episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman sits down with Dr. Harry Shirley, a researcher at the crossroads of mathematics, Jungian psychology, and consciousness. Harry’s work with the Mandelbrot set—known in its luminous rendering as the “Buddhabrot”—reveals uncanny links between number, matter, and mind.
Together, Bernie and Harry explore how fractals echo Jung’s vision of the Unus Mundus—the “one world” uniting psyche and matter. They discuss improbable synchronicities, why certain events feel statistically impossible, and how fractal imagery may illuminate the deeper structures connecting inner and outer reality. Could the Buddhabrot itself be a visual gateway to the archetypal patterns woven into existence?
Meet Harry now on the Connecting with Coincidence podcast:
