The Cosmic Intelligence that we can write, talk or discuss is not the real Cosmic Intelligence, for the naming of something only puts it into a specific box. Knowing and understanding this Cosmic Intelligence is beyond the human mind. Therefore, I can only talk about its manifestations. It was first mentioned by the Samkya school and was called Mahat. It seems very likely that Lao Zi's Dao is also based on the philosophy of Purusa, Prakriti and Mahat, that originally came from this school.

I call it the cosmic intelligence for no choice of a better word,

For I do not have any other words or means to describe it.

I feel that the cosmic intelligence is something that the human mind will never be able to fully grasp,

But what we can do is observe its manifestations.

For example,

The way the body turns food into flesh or into red blood cells,

The way a flower reaches to the sun,

Or the way that a tree grows upwards,

The way the body can suddenly cure itself of a disease,

The way we can suddenly have an awakening in any one given subject for a truly deep understanding of it,

The way that elements are made in dying stars and those elements come together to form the earth,

And it is those elements within the earth that are also within us.

The way the Big Bang made protons,

Neutrons and electrons,

The three particles that make up every single thing we see in the known universe,

In just different arrangements,

To the way the earth sits in the Goldilocks zone,

And the way that it is slightly tilt so that it receives the perfect amount of sunlight throughout the different seasons.

These are examples of the cosmic intelligence.

These are the manifestations of the cosmic intelligence.

This innate cosmic intelligence is actually in everything and everywhere.

We have only recently found out that space is actually not empty at all.

We found this out when we realized that time and space warp with the gravity of a planet,

Like putting a basketball in a pool.

If space was empty,

It obviously would not warp.

This means we live in like an ocean of water that pervades everything,

And within every single one of those water molecules is this innate cosmic intelligence,

And whatever makes up those molecules,

This innate cosmic intelligence is also within.

How can something like this ever be understood to its entirety?

This is why we should remind ourselves about the miracle of life that we see,

From the way that a bee buzzes round flowers and collects pollen,

Through the way that we can use our fingers,

Through the way that an ant collects its foods and marches it back,

To the way we have clouds in the sky,

To the way we can see the moon,

To the way we see trees that are so large and tall,

But we can never actually see them grow,

To the way that we breathe air,

And that air that we breathe comes from the breath of a tree.

What we breathe,

It gave to us,

And what we breathe out,

We gave to it.

The miracles of life are everywhere.

We should never need to be reminded of this. The evidence surrounds us. Yet, it escapes our attention, our reality almost all of the time. I will listen to this again. And, then, yet again.

I love thinking about these things and discussing them with others. It truly is mind-boggling to think that the atoms that make up our entire bodies we're almost certainly once part of a burning, blazing bright star. This is a second meaning when I say I see the light in others. If pressed, I explain that briefly and then tell them to imagine the heartlight in the movie character "E.T." - it's like that in a way. Let your inner star shine brightly enough to illuminate your presence, your purpose, your essence, such that all will be warmed by it and comforted by your light shining into darkness they themselves have not yet learned to penetrate. Imagine if the entire planet were consciously aware of their astral heritage and embraced it for the good of all. What a world that would be! Meanwhile, the quest for the elusive dark matter goes on.... Thank you for providing this uplifting and thoughtful talk this morning. This is one type of method I often use to get my brain to wake up and engage with the day (I don't drink caffeinated beverages like coffee or soda), and while it is much shorter than the TED talks I often use for this purpose, THIS talk left me smiling just as it had caused me to do within moments of hitting that "play" button. Thank you for sharing this gift with us here. I see the brilliant starlight within you. 🤲🏻❤️🤲🏻
