Reading this make me think of an old cliche.
"As above, so below"
I think of everything as fractal in nature as well. And you're right, a lot of things (good and bad) happening externally from us have a counterpart that is also occurring internal with us. Through dealing with those internal "happenings" our external circumstance may be remedied.
Thank you for articulating this so well and sharing your thoughts on the topic!
