Astronomy and Spirituality Have Much in Common
Long ago, Giordano Bruno wrote of an infinity of worlds and life in the cosmos: "He is glorified not in one, but in countless suns; not in a single earth, a single world, but in a thousand thousand, I say in an infinity of worlds." As was often the case with the western mystics, he was burned at the stake for sharing his revelations, his "heresy". Such has been the fate of numerous gnostic souls and other mystics. Around that very same time but further to the East in India, Guru Nanak also sang that there are countless earths, spheres, moons, suns oceans, living creatures and beings, millions of skies above skies: "Many millions are the skies and solar systems. Many millions are the moons, the suns and stars. Many millions are the sources of creation and continents. Many millions are the jewel containing oceans. Many times has the universal expanse occurred." And rather than being condemned for his intuitive insights, Guru Nanak is considered to be one of India's greatest spiritual masters and saints. His Morning Prayer (Jap Ji) is sung and recited as sacred scripture by millions.

Today on this Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast we explore the similarities between the empirical, scientific path of astronomy and the intuitive way of the mystics, how both explore space, inner and outer, during the dark hours before the dawn, how both have a lens they use to focus with in order to gaze into realms of subtle light from beyond what is normally perceived, and tune the cosmic radio dial listening for faint signals or sounds coming from beyond the cosmic static. The bigness of the "known" cosmos keeps on getting bigger! Actually, it is our awareness that's growing, seeing more and more of That Which Is. I find astronomy and mysticism have much in common. Like Galileo discovering new worlds through the lens of his telescope, mystics have been trying to tell humanity for eons of something quite similar. The reason why the contemplative state of being is still hidden from most of us is that, unlike Galileo’s telescope, in order to look through this particular lens, the third eye or inner vision, we mustn't be stuck always focusing on the outward sensory impressions, but go in the opposite direction: into Inner Space during contemplative meditation. Look through the lens of the third eye to access the world of within. Tune the inner radio dial, listening for the subtle inner sounds coming from beyond the silence.
"If your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of Light." (Yeshua) "With the Divine Eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, a bhikkhu surveys a thousand worlds." (Buddha) "Within this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within it is the Creator. Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars. The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within. And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring wells up. Kabir says: 'Listen to me, my Friend! My Beloved Lord is within.'" "The Light of one soul is equal to that of sixteen suns!" (Kabir) Rumi says, "We are stars wrapped in skin -- The light you are seeking ... has always been ... within."

In Divine Love, Light, and Sound,

Carl Sagan, Le Point bleu Pâle :
Depuis ce poste avancé, la Terre ne semble pas avoir grand intérêt. Mais pour nous c'est très différent. Regardez encore ce petit point. C'est ici, c'est notre foyer. C'est nous. Sur lui se trouve tous ceux que vous aimez, tous ceux que vous connaissez, tous ceux dont vous avez entendu parler, tous les êtres #humains qui aient jamais vécu. Toute la somme de nos joies et de nos souffrances, des milliers de religions aux convictions assurées, d'idéologies et de doctrines économiques, tous les chasseurs et cueilleurs, tous les héros et tous les lâches, tous les créateurs et destructeurs de civilisations, tous les rois et tous les paysans, tous les jeunes couples d'amoureux, tous les pères et mères, tous les enfants plein d'espoir, les inventeurs et les explorateurs, tous les professeurs de morale, tous les politiciens corrompus, toutes les "superstars", tous les "guides suprêmes", tous les saints et pécheurs de l'histoire de notre espèce ont vécu ici – sur ce grain de poussière suspendu dans un rayon de soleil.
La Terre est une scène minuscule dans une vaste arène cosmique. Pensez aux rivières de sang versées par tous ces généraux et empereurs afin que, glorieux et triomphants, ils puissent devenir les maitres éphémères d'un petit morceau d'un point.
