“The deepest reality is not a thing, but a relationship.” —Richard B. Gregg

Some truths aren’t arrived at, they’re remembered.
In The Self Beyond Yourself, Richard B. Gregg wrote of transcendence not as escape, but as alignment, where selfhood becomes spacious enough to recognize its place in a greater whole. Fulfillment, he argued, comes not from reinforcing the self, but from releasing it into relationship: with Spirit, with others, with the invisible scaffold of reality.

The Fractal Universe carries this same insight, not in devotional terms, but in metaphysical structure. The Stillpoint, the silent core within every system, does not push or pull. It guides through orientation, through inherited memory and resonance. Just as Gregg spoke of “unitive knowing,” this model speaks of alignment, not as fusion, but as distinct entities vibrating across curved space, drawn toward coherence.

Gregg’s notion of tension-through-relationship mirrors the Fractal Universe’s tensegrity, and his vision of spiritual connection across distance echoes the principle of tension without touch. The space between systems isn’t empty, it’s where resonance lives.

This isn’t mysticism for its own sake, it’s metaphysical anatomy. And Gregg’s work, like The Stillness itself, forms part of the blueprint. Not visible but shaping everything.
