Laniakea: Home in Perspective

I have my issues with Facebook, but it is not all doom and gloom and negative on the news page. Last night I came across a link that took me to a short video showing our latest understanding of the map of the universe. Not only does it give me a greater perspective to place my tiny steps. It also described a larger scale occurrence of the allurement phenomenon.


I have been told by an astro-physicist friend that the images we often see of outer space are visual presentations given to mathematical and other data. It may or may not actual look like this. Nevertheless there is to me real beauty in the dimensions and architecture of our universe. And I love that there are real open questions about its purpose and size. It could be finite. It could be infinite. Either way the quantities we are dealing with are so huge it is questionable to what extent we can actual process the numbers. We can place values next to the data but really what meaning does this have?

However, there are also qualities present. There is movement and intentions at play and this maybe something we can more readily connect with for these same dynamics are occurring in and around us all the time. Allurement, repulsion and the push and pull of tides are something we can see and feel.

If the matrix of the universe is a fractal one. If this is one consciousness expressing itself. Then we are a microcosm of the macrocosm. Coming home is a constant process of return. Maybe it is in the design (dance) of the universe to move away and to come home like a pendulum swinging. Maybe nothing is meant to be static or a absolute constant. Even rock moves, just very very slowly most of the time. This would suggest coming home is a dance too. We must keep moving, conversing, dancing, interacting, participating to be in relationship with everything, including ourselves and what we call home or a sense of belonging.

Even when we sleep, our physical bodies may seem still, but our minds are active. Our dreams take us to untold places. There are some peoples who believe that our dreaming life is the more real world and our waking life is the more unreal.
