Milky: Achieving Cosmic Consciousness

Great Essays
The thick wafts of steam drifting on the lake parted suddenly as the Cavaceccis swam excitedly towards Surina and woke her up from her reverie by tugging on her shoulder.
“Hi Surina, fancy meeting you here!” Giuseppe exclaimed.
“This thermal lake is the best!” Linda added while bobbing up and down in the lake. “Ever since I began swimming here for the past three days, my back feels more limber after the pain went away! We have many blessings on Gnaritus, such as a charming house in the Acqua borough. It is just as well for us that there are no accountants on Gnaritus since we needed a change from money mongering. My new position as an artist in residence at the Gnaritus Museum of Fine Arts is a dream job in fact. The best part is that

“Today, we will start our journey to attain cosmic consciousness. First, let us remember the privilege of seeing the wondrous sights in the solar systems, interstellar space, and the intergalactic space during the journey here across the Milky Way Galaxy. In essence, cosmic consciousness is an awareness of the connections amongst all matter in the universe. Furthermore, it is a state of achieving pure knowledge of everything in the universe here and now without having to travel anywhere. There is no separation into distinct celestial bodies or human bodies since we are the same. Divisions, borders, boundaries, fences, and walls will all disappear after you achieve cosmic consciousness. For example, Earth defines and segregates humans arbitrarily according to skin color, race, gender, language, and socioeconomic status. On the other hand, cosmic consciousness would allow these borders separating us to fade away for we are all one and the same. However, cosmic consciousness is not a priority on Earth, and very few are trying to achieve it. According to astrophysics, all the matter existing in the universe today came from a single infinitesimally dense point that expanded after the Big Bang explosion. Although the atoms that make up all matter, including life, are continually being flung further apart in an ever-expanding universe, they were a …show more content…
“I say restore because it was always there inside us from the very beginning, but we forgot. Let me begin with an example. Instead of thinking of yourself as climbing to the peak of the mountain, feel the ground as part of you, lifting you up and helping you in the ascent. Don’t only think of yourself as walking, but rather the ground supporting and bearing you up. In other words, everything is inseparable and integrated. The road does always rise to meet you and help you along on your journey. The entire universe is indivisible and working together harmoniously for the benefit and happiness of all. Our first exercise to demonstrate this is to float on the water. Think of the water as part of you and not a separate entity. Your body is not only floating, but also the water is buoying you up since it is an integral part of you. While you are doing this, use your respiratory muscles to inhale and exhale deeply. Then also imagine the air moving in and out of your lungs by

    “A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglying stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.” (Adams 26)This book makes everything you think you know sure that you know it. If half of the things in this book says is true then the earth is about to be taken over by aliens, earth was built by aliens for an experiment, and mice run experiments on humans not the other way around.…

    The book Native Science written by Gregory Cajete has chapter one as part of an introductory chapter for the books foundation. More simply this means that to be able to understand Native Science Native’s outlook and perspective/perception of the world must be addressed.

The author Cajete (2000), begins by changing the word science into the word knowledge for the phrase Native Science. By adopting this change it helps in forming a better understanding of what Native Science.…

    According to Eliade, the cosmicization of unknown places is always a consecration. The universe itself is consecration of the god’s work as it was created and inhabited by god. Eliade explains the communication between the three cosmic level earth, heaven, and underworld through sacred space or image that supports and connects the earth and heaven. Furthermore, the symbolism of center clarifies that sacred spaces are believed to be at the center of the earth linking one cosmic region to another cosmic region.…

    A return to the beginning affords an opportunity to change what has gone wrong and thus try and regain orientation and meaning trough naturalistic processes (sacred) oppose to an objective supernatural reality (profane). In the book The Sacred and the Profane written by Mircea Eliade, the author notes that the sacred space is always considered the “really” real part of the universe, while non-sacred space is ambiguous and without structure (20). And therefore, the sacred is the solid, fixed point from which all else is oriented, while the non-sacred is a formless expanse without essence. And profane space is characterized by chaos and homogeneity and relativity (22) while sacred space is ordered and distinct and moral.…

    Cosmogony In Human Culture

    Since the beginning of time, there has been a need for cosmogonies. Humans have desired to know how they came to be in order to feel purposeful and useful rather than random and unneeded. The cosmogonies fulfill a need by giving purpose and reason to every aspect of life. But human culture has never been completely unified with one cosmogony. Each ethnic culture has their own theories about the universe because of their circumstances that can relate place and the lack of mobility cultures faced in early civilizations.…

    (i) Memory theory suggests that genuine memory relations constitute Personal Identity . In its initial form, memory relations are created when a person establishes some form of extension in conscious activity within the mind. However, memory gaps can be factored in and despite being the same person, people can sometimes forget an event in the past that links each person to being one and the same . As such, the remedy to this problem is to introduce the idea of a chain of memory connections. Person n (n being the n-th term…1,2,3,4, infinity, etc.) and Person 1 are memory connected if there is a stage in the chain containing at least one memory of something experienced by the preceding person-stage (Pn) and time (Tn).…

    Last autumn I found myself among the mountains of Tibet, wandering through the high desert created by the rain shadow of the mighty Himalayas, looking up at the cascade of unblinking stars that stretched across the night sky. The stars, in their steady glow, revealed a rather strange sight that I could best describe as being both disturbing and fascinating at the same time. It felt like they were giving me an exclusive window to look at the inner workings of the world and everything in it. According to the scientific community, the universe began its "life" roughly 14 billion years ago when space, time and even the atoms in our bodies formed in less than a blink of an eye.…

    Unlike most entertainment media, be it Science Fiction or Fantasy, where everything almost always revolves around humanity being the centre of the universe. Cosmic horror on the other hand challenges, and flips that concept on its head and instead begs the question: What if the universe is utterly indifferent toward us? The enormous floating space heads don’t have any sympathy for what they’re doing to humanity, for them humanity is simply a source of entertainment. Obliterating an entire planet for them isn’t an act of hatred or malcontent, only a past time for some entertainment. Just as we will poor molten aluminum into an ant hill, only to put the mould on display for our entertainment.…
