I Identify with the Cosmos

I see myself within the context of billions of years of being something else, a portion of my molecules and particles started with the beginning of this universe. I was built over the millennia by various stars black holes and whatever other phenomena and was put together as a being to live on earth for over 100 years then I will dissipate again into the cosmos and will become whatever.

It is also possible that on a very fundamental level when we go beyond the particles and into all the quantum fields and such, it is possible that I'm even much more permanent than just this universe.

I truly feel pretty expanded on a daily basis and it's difficult for me when many humans identify with a portion of molecules here and now. I do believe that life is a very very precious and very special experience and there are special properties of our bodies that give rise to new life. That is really awesome.

Also, it's possible that everything is life and we're just not there yet to recognize it. In some schools of thought everything is special, in some ways of thinking every tiny living being is special.

It is important we recognize we are much bigger than ourselves. We know it technically but we need to apply it daily and it needs to become ingrained in our thinking. And this needs to be an integral part of education. Kids need to be taught to identify with the cosmos rather than with any particular human formation.
