We Truly Are Stardust




I was reading a blog this morning and came across a beautiful quote from Astrophysicist, Niel deGrasse Tyson. Which expressed the simple but yet beautiful fact that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically and the rest of the universe atomically. How amazing is that?!  He is right how large that makes me feel and how special that makes each one of us. Why does that thought make me shy away? Why am I afraid to see myself as different then what I have been taught to believe. From the moment we are born at least my generation we have been born of separation and sin. That from my first breath I already was something that God looked down in shame on.. that I had to confess of my sin, even though I had done nothing but been born of flesh and from that moment I was taught I am and always will be a sinner no matter what I did. That even attending church could not guarantee my favor with god. That I had to be vigilante of some red horned shaped devil man and his following that would tempt me into being worse then a sinner, a active one...  It all sounds so bizarre when reduced to the truth. It's funny how quite the opposite is True,  I am Creators greatest creation and the moment I was born I was given the greatest gift of all; life in the Creators Kingdom..  Earth it is just one of his Kingdoms in the heavens and yet maybe we are on a small planet, in a small universe but we are part of a larger picture, a deeper meaning to life, one in which we are celebrated for our worth and our lives treasured as the Children of God and Living Creation. One where we are not sinners but a beautiful dance of biological, chemical and atomic energy that some how was gifted consciousness in the search for ones place among the stars. Where on the day you were born you weren't looked upon as a sinner as much as a Miracle... Maybe if we started seeing ourselves through those eyes we would finally be set free from our sins since the cross seemed to have done no good. No good at all.. Then we can see each other in ourselves and in turn start to respect life and each other in a more loving and respectful way. If you knew that everyone was you and what you did to them you did to yourself , let alone GOD!! what a difference that would make in today's world and the next generation. Next time you look at something see God and try hating it, judging it or even worse hurting it.. trying seeing everything from a larger picture, lets say a Heavens view down not on a world of sinners but a world of potentialities...
Thank you Niel deGrasse Tyson for making something so complicated so simple and yet so true...
