If you could travel at the speed of light,
You would travel around the Earth seven and a half times in just one second.
But at this incredible speed,
It would take you nearly four hours to reach the edge of our solar system.
More than four years to reach our nearest star.
Two and a half million years to reach our nearest galaxy.
And an incomprehensible 46 billion years to reach the edge of the known universe.
But of course the known universe is itself just a speck in the cosmos.
Scientists tell us that the universe is literally infinite and that ours is likely just one of an infinite number of other universes.
But the most staggering science is that that tells us that all of it is one interconnected and indivisible whole.
Science tells us that every speck of matter in the hundreds of billions of galaxies each with hundreds of billions of stars emerged as a unified field of pure energy from a space smaller than a single atom.
And thus that the entire universe today is still a unified field of pure energy.
You are this field of pure energy.
Science tells us that every speck of matter in your body right now is directly connected to every other speck of matter in the universe.
That every speck of matter in your body right now continues to be recycled and flow throughout the entire universe at a rate such that 98 percent of what is in your body right now was not there one year ago and will not be there one year from now.
Science tells us that every speck of matter in your body right now has existed for the past 13.
7 billion years and will continue to exist for trillions upon trillions of years into the future.
Science tells us that all minds are connected that in fact there is only one mind,
One consciousness that each individual mind taps into to create your consciousness.
And physicists suggest that rather than consciousness somehow arising out of matter it is actually matter that arises out of consciousness.
Science now confirms what indigenous cultures and spiritual teachers have always known.
That we are all one.
That you are all that is.
You are the oceans that fill 60 percent of your body.
You are the air that you breathe.
You are the plants and the animals that form your bodily tissues.
You are the soil and the photons of light energy streaming from the Sun which enable them to grow.
And you are the stardust from which it all emerges.
You do not have a life.
You are life.
You have not had some past lives.
You have had every life past,
Present and future.
You are your mother,
Your father,
Your sister,
Your neighbor,
Your work colleague,
Your doctor,
The checkout clerk and the stranger in the park.
You are the American,
The African and the Asian.
The Christian,
The Jew,
The Muslim,
The Hindu and the Buddhist.
You are the person who attacks you in the street,
The prisoner,
The terrorist,
The politician and the movie star.
You are quite literally the cripple,
The refugee,
The homeless man and the child about to die of starvation.
You are your pet cat,
The bird in the sky,
The Sumatran tiger and the blue whale.
You are the daffodil,
The plankton,
The fig tree,
The amazon and the sun.
