Cosmic Photo Astonishes

A stunning image has been captured by the newest camera on the Hubble telescope and released by NASA.  The photo is the deepest ever taken of space.  In the image, thousands of galaxies dot the blackness in an almost incomprehensibly enormous cluster.  Some of the galaxies, each containing billions of stars and planets, are nearly as old as the Big Bang itself.  The prospect of "infinite diversity in infinite combinations" contained within the image tantalizes the imagination.

we are on the fast track to discovering some very interesting things about ourselves. the details don't exactly matter (its like worrying whether you get hit with a left or right hook, either way you get getting hit) what does matter is that we are prepared for the hit when it comes. coming out of the dark ages, where we were what the ancients referred to as 'asleep', there will be some big realizations about the nature of reality. we are realizing that its not a matter of if other intelligent life is out there, but where and how do they exist. its an honor to be a human at this time, much thanks to originating spirit for letting me be a part of the vibration. as we move closer to critical mass, lets keep our frequencies high as the only way to change anything is to effect it. we never really have control over anything but our own tunnel of perception. keep on truckin' friends!

      Deep space and deep time both suggest the existence of intelligent biology in outer space/time. Other galaxies are gigayears older than ours. Hubble’s new photos further complicate the Fermi Paradox by multiples of scale.

      To me, it’s not at all a matter of their existence; it’s a matter of our being ready.
