My Spiritual Experience
Inspired By Nature


Each of us have experienced moments of “self-contemplation” and harmony especially when encountering a setting of natural beauty, on a mountain top in the evening, a lake view in the morning, or at a ocean’s edge at sunset. A unique capability for such realization, such spiritual connectedness, is within each human being having the capacity to connect to nature in this manner…….

Finding "Inner Compass"
Attachments:

Scholar Robert M. Hazen, Ph.D. (GMU faculty & Senior Carnegie Institution researcher's new book is "The Story of Earth" , The First 4.5 Billion Years. from stardust to living planet (Viking, 2012).

Several copies of this book is available at the Fairfax Public LIbrary.

This book is about science and the startling knowledge about how the cosmic creation, known as "Big Bang" lead to formation of the cosmos, a galaxie called the Milky Way containing billions & billions of stars, and then on one spiral arm of the Milky Way, an average mid size star called Sun, with a plaentary system, containing in the so called "Goldie Lock" Zone, a planet called Earth.

THis planet came into existence about 4.5 billions years ago, then a series of events, accidents, happening lead to rise of life, first just single cell bacterias, after about 2 billion years ago, then multi cellular life forms, including the startlingly precious intelligent life form called humanity.

Wow ! All the scientific evidence for these events and more, have mostly been deduced post 970, and examining the "Moon Samples" from the Apollo program and combined with other scientific evidence of astrophysics and geology !

Ok, what does the "Story of Earth" have to do with "Spirituality" ??

Any thoughts ?

Cosmic Dance

There is excitement in theoretical physics with opportunity to test experimentally so called Super String Theory. Test can prove validity or discover something completely unknown mystery and hidden dimensions. Philosopher Philo of Alexandria, a contemporary of Jesus at 1st Century AD has left a legacy that is startlingly prophetic. Cosmic Dance is more than science. Ancient heritage of spiritual philosophy must be reconciled. Welcome to Cosmic Dance nature inspired.

A Key Point in the "Story Of Earth".

Conversation: There is a "Cosmic Scale" to which Earth & the other planets of our ordinary, hum drum star we call "Sun" , and also the "Moon" are all part of it.

This "Cosmic Scale" takes us back to about 13 Billion years ago, an event called "Big Bang", that gave birth to our known universe.

Science also knows now that in this "Cosmic Scale" the earth was born about 4.3 billion years ago.

Life rose , as recorded in "Earth's History" (Hazen's book at the Fairfax County Public Library), at about 2 billion years in the ocean.


From that point to evolution of life form in all the varieties that exist, was a rapid, with a few near extinction events, inclding when dynasaurs, a reptile life form, who dominated earth for 150 million years, before disappearing and rise of the mammals.

Humanity, the only specie now existing on earth and who dominates earth, arose less than a million years ago, at a "Blink of an Eye" in the Cosmic Scale.

Now we can talk about this very short time scale, called the "Human Scale" in this "Coevolution" of Planet Earth and Human dominated earth.

Our universe is rapidly expanding, when we look at the edge of this "Cosmic Time Scale" of 13.5 Billion years, after the "Big Bang" event and birth of our universe to now.

Cosmic Dance as basis of science & spirituality ?
