Our entire solar system is hurtling through space, along with the other parts of the milky way galaxy, at a speed of about 65,000 mile per hour. That works out to about 1,560,000 miles, if multiplied by 24 hours. Our solar system makes a complete tour around the milky way about every 230 million years. As our solar system passes through space at a very high rate of speed, it is “making aspects” with millions of other objects in space. Energies are exchanged, enhanced, degraded, or neutralized. Life as a human being begins when you take your first breath. It is the point where your body fully joins the breath by heartbeat physical world. If you know the time of day, and your latitude and longitude on the planet, when you take your first breath you can calculate the unique relationship of that time and space to the rest of the universe. Regardless of how you count it, that first breath of air, its processing by the new born, and ultimately the consciousness of the being that develops, will be unique in the universe. The relationship of that unique type of human organism (potential consciousness) and its constantly evolving relationship with the unfolding universe is also a one of kind relationship. So it is that all women and men are unique in the universe. Our time being alive is our opportunity to embrace (or at least recognize) that we are all spiritual beings in different states of consciousness. To me consciousness is the ability to recognize our relationship with the whole of humanity as well as our relationship with our own needs. We are all influencers in own small worlds. At the same time we are influenced by the world around us. I would like to imagine a universe where human beings seek love and kindness from others and those others care about the state of the love and kindness on our planet.
