There is no ‘out there’
Everything that exists in the universe is in a state of perpetual motion. The fact that we have the impression that we are standing still is due to our relatively tiny size. It’s all about proportions. The entire solar system moves in space at a speed of 500,000 miles per hour, in its 230 million-year cycle around the Milky Way galaxy’s central point of gravity. Our planet is a mere hitchhiker on this grand galactic expedition.
All of the celestial elements are spherical, shaped as such by the eternal inertia of the centrifugal forces.
The patterns from the heavens are reflected in our human bodies. Our heads are orb-shaped, with linear supporting body lines. The human body has five extensions: the head, two arms and two legs; and then the legs and arms each have 5 extensions the five fingers and toes on each of our hands and feet. The entire human structure has evolved in its design towards fulfilling the “leading role” of supporting the brain, enabling humans to think, feel and assess not only its own situation but also that of other humans, being that they are the prime social creatures on planet Earth.
Thus, a universal shape is manifested within humans as well. As I see it, it is not a coincidence: there is a bond between human brains and the other celestial bodies in the universe, by the fact they are all made out of the same matter, nourished by the same energies, enabling them to function on the same frequencies and perform an act of monumental synchronized swimming, within each solar system, galaxy or cluster.
Our ball-shaped heads embody the potential of emitting thoughts, ruminations, contemplation that can reach the end of the universe. This is the cause of the sense of awe we experience whenever we raise our heads towards the starry skies in the desert, where the abundance of twinkling stars affords us a fleeting glimpse at our true proportions within this entire scheme of existence.
We are but tiny — albeit, sophisticated — modules within a vast and everlasting universe. Yet despite our size, we have the abilities to operate and dwell on higher, more refined levels of existence from whence we can connect to the essence of the stars that surround us. The meaning of human life lies in search for our own personal, signature note within the entire Milky Way orchestra. All known religions yearn to define the conductor of the universal symphony, to name this entity and compose for its glorifying rituals and hymns. Everything written here so far crescendos in the conception that the path towards deciphering the enigma of human life has to abandon selfishness and our ego-centered points of reference, in order to move towards an eternal quest for being part of a greater universal entity: one which is much more consequential than ourselves, as individuals. The only thing standing between us, and this vaster entity, is our limited perception of the world around us and our inherent mission within it. On a higher scale we are but mere shattered fragments of an ancient and eternal body derived from universal consciousness aimed to reveal itself through the ray of creation and thus demand us humans to ’stand on our toes’, be alert, strive for a bigger picture understanding of our being and share our thoughts with other human beings. The human journey is the quest to be reunited with its true solar-galactic-universal essence, in this sense there is no ‘out there’, as there are many universes so in each human being lives and operates a unique universe which is the mirror image of the greater realm containing moons, planets, stars and galaxies.
Have magic in your life
