The Earth. Shimmering pearl in the universe.

Surrounded by vacuum, pretty much everything around us seems to be hostile to life. Stars, nebulae, and lifeless planets - all lifeless. The whole universe, before it gave birth to life for the first time - lifeless. A desolate, predominantly lifeless universe, which building blocks of life are, well, lifeless in nature...

Yup, it almost sounds too good to be true, because somewhere in the infinite vastness of space exists a place we call Earth. And this place, it has the impossible as a daily routine. In view of this supposedly lifeless universe emerged the most contradictory creation

- life itself...

Where do we come from?

Science cannot fully explain the origin, which some like myself refer to as "the miracle of life." Perhaps life, given the circumstances, may even be a divine providence? One does not know; one speculates. At least within the framework of this lifeless universe, such a thing should theoretically be an act of impossibility and yet, apparently, life exists as we know it in a multitude of hostile environments. In the wikipedia it says:

___

"Miracle (...) colloquially an event whose origin cannot be explained, causing wonder and amazement. It generally refers to something astonishing and extraordinary."

___

Researchers from the fields of astronomy and physics point out: The atoms of your body originated from the same universe that gave rise to you, me, and all of us. Science describes humans as a kind of walking accumulation of atoms and stuff, essentially composed of the same building blocks as the universe itself. The human being is - viewed bluntly - a piece of the universe. A piece of the universe moving on two legs; indeed, "a part of the universe," as the cosmologist would say.

When we looked up at the starry sky on a clear night, gazing into this universe, I was overwhelmed by the feeling as if in this very moment the universe...

~is looking at itself!

You are the self-experiencing universe

(~Alan Watts)

Because not only does science itself say that our body is part of this universe, no, experiencing the universe itself is, in itself, part of the same cosmology! Wouldn't it be amazing that, as we discover the world around us, the universe is actually discovering itself and marveling at itself, right now in this very moment? We often think we are special...

...It's true, everything!

It was an experience that can be described as if the gates had been opened to you. As if the cosmos is kissing your forehead. Does that make sense? Most people are not aware that when

~ we ~

look into the cosmos in this moment, we actually become a kind of sensory organ of the universe. Or as Neil deGrasse Tyson, a cosmologist would say:

So when I look up into the night sky and ...yes I know... we are part of the universe, we are in the universe, but possibly more significant than these two facts: the universe is...

I can't tell you where all this comes from. Sometimes I lie awake at night, write everything down. I can't tell you if there are gods out there. However, I can tell you

IN YOU
