Thank you for your feedback and Christmas wishes, PruJoy. I'm glad you enjoyed the slide show. Our universe certainly is pretty awesome, hey! :-)
It reminds me of the term Wallace Wattles used in his book The Science of Getting Rich ... where he talks about "a thinking stuff" behind everything in the universe. Other terms that come to mind are Creative Intelligence and Creative Consciousness.
Microcosm/Macrocosm by: PruJoy
Just thought I would share another "thing" that that slideshow triggered in my memory & that was the concept of "all is just a microcosm of the macrocosm".
I came across this concept when I was about 15 years old (so it was a LONG time ago now - ha ha!) & I remember it was shared with quite a few of my peers at the time - so perhaps others remember it as well??? I can't quite put a finger on just who presented it originally - I was reading quite a few different people at the time - Sartre, de Chardin, Hesse, etc.

Is There An End To It All? by: Gavin, Unlock-Your-Happiness.com
The questions are ... Where does the microcosm end? And where does the macrocosm end? Or do they end at all? Effective meditation can expand our own consciousness and give us a glimpse that there is more and more to life. But can we fully know while in the physical body?
And that reminds me of an article I once read about someone who did see the bigger picture, so to speak, when he 'died' for a short while and then started breathing again. I should see if I can find it. It was a beautiful experience he described.
Thanks for finding that story Gavin - very interesting - I will spend a bit more time browsing thru his site to see how he further worked his NDE into his future life both for himself & others.

Microcosm/Macrocosm site by: PruJoy
Wow ... just doing a bit of googling on "Microcosm/Macrocosm" & found this website that demonstrates a very similar path to "the consciousness shift" ~
And, oh yes, I also found a small bit of info on Wikipedia that reminded that the earliest known source of the "microcosm/macrocosm" concept was the Greeks.
Awesome! by: Gavin, Unlock-Your-Happiness.com
Thanks PruJoy! You're a great Internet researcher! :-)
