Hi everyone.
I had a lovely night sky watching last night. A few moving objects that happened to be silent. I would love to have had a closer look perhaps with an infra red recording binocular. (That I am ordering today, more about that to come)
So in today's blog I want to talk about connections. Edgar Mitchell famously said: "We are one". (Apollo 14, 6th man on the moon)
Our reality here on this planet is not just about us. Its about our place in the universe. I feel the time has come where we have to begin engaging in our wider reality. We are not alone and we never have been. I think a lot of you have already come to that conclusion. Humanity needs to take responsibility for this planet, Earth, that we are so fortunate to have been given. The number one priority should be caring for each other and with that the respect for the habitat of all civilisations on Earth.
We are one.Connected and yet at the same time one of many, but we don't regard that as reality. Why? Most people have not even thought about it. Everything is connected: Relationships, communities,countries,landmasses, planets and galaxies. We breathe the same air and drink the same water but somehow we seem to have lost our identity as one. Where has the love gone? That is what we need to find within our selves. The love for each other, the love for our planet and only then can we approach our cosmic family with the right mindset. We can all do this together. Starting with family, friends and local communities.If/when we manage to colonise Mars, we should be thinking about what we offer our cosmic relations. Don't let it be warmongering hostility.
Edgar Mitchell (1930-2016) said many profound things and was also a great advocate for disclosure. He is greatly missed.
