    Cool. I've been thinking for a long time, and I know I am not the first nor the only one, that what we see in outer space might be likened to a physical body or at least, function like the smallest parts of living things; galaxy's resemble blood platelets, the electrical dust between stars, solar systems might resemble a nervous system and that marvelous colorful blob in distant space might resemble a human fetus.
    And why not, we already see that sunspots resemble Storms on earth, Cloud to ground and ground to cloud lightning are much like the filament eruptions on the sun.

    . . . as above so below

      There was a book I read once, close to thirty years ago now, "The Self-Aware Universe", trying to bring quantum mechanics, cosmology and zen buddhism in synchrony.

      I forget who wrote it.

        Interesting but I am not among those that think everything is alive and self aware but in terms of the Universe/Cosmos/Creation, the only thing self aware out there would be Causation.

        Einstein might have liked that one.

          Well, I didn't say I AGREED with it!!

          Remember "Nights in White Satin"? or was it maybe "Knights in White Satin"? I lay in bed at night listening to that and wondering and then in the extended version the words to "Late Lament", ending with "Cold hearted orb that rules the night, removes the colors from our sight, red is gray and yellow white, but we decide which is right...and which is an illusion."

          Heavy. What is really real?

            Thanks, enjoyed every moment of that one.

            Didn't need to get high to listen to that music because it was the music that got you high.
            Like reaching out to the universe . . .

              Reaching out to the universe and realizing you just aren't that big of a personality after all!! Humbling experience, and some amongst the peoples of the earth should do it more often!

                The Cover of my book is me reaching out to the universe, making my connections to non local and local quantum particles I suspect.
                That's what I saw in a regression secession going from my first know memory and pushing to see what was before.
                Don't normally do those things but it was an interesting one timer.
