Intro: The etymological source tells us that cosmos
goes back to order, right order, gracefulness, jewels and
even the plant cosmos that grows in clean air. It also goes back to world order or order in a particular state. In antique history one of the first
ones to use this word and describe reality with it was Pythagoras who was
obsessed with numbers, saw this order of numbers in everything,…the harmony of
the spheres and also the harmony in other relations. The earth was something
they were discovering and starting to understand in numbers and other
comparisons. The cosmos
was something completely foreign to them, yet still by
creating this thought of the harmony of the spheres Pythagoras matched a link
to the untouchable, to the mystery, to the unknowable. On earth as a person he
also believed in reincarnation which included for him to live a good life in
order to come back as a good person. He proclaimed vegetarianism, self-discipline,
sobriety and abstention.
Conslusion: My guests started out with locating and
describing whether or not we were connected to the two of them. Our COSMOS and
our planet THE EARTH. Most of the attention went to the topic of cosmos at
first and also an ethical remark came almost as a confirmation from that side
of outer space. Then we came full circle back to our planet THE EARTH and there
were some heavy insights about her state of health. Yet in total
disconnectedness to the cosmos and with the same objectivity humankind was
completely responsible for what they did and our planet THE EARTH would survive
anyway,….with or without us. On the other hand we had a more hopeful voice in
the group that reminded us of the concept of evolution. A. feels very connected
to the cosmos and the earth and sees a future in which farmers and Phds,…people of all
classes, colours and races evolve to another level…
Is our
understanding of the Earth then more important ? Or do we need to know more
about the cosmos ? If as one of my guests says the Earth has cancer,…she could be
healed, but is seriously threatened,…maybe then our intention to go to outer
space and find places there to live on should be the thought over. We could invest
more into space technology and learn more about the order of the cosmos so as to apply it to our own precious planet
and heal her.

In the
association round A said that for her the cosmos was inside and outside,
especially when asleep or when dreaming she felt she was more part of the
cosmos since then she was not aware of her body. She said that she was more
connected with the cosmic order when sleeping….and we as human being were just
another frequency in the whole cosmos. After all we were functioning
differently when asleep. Healing e.g. was also easier when not thinking so
much. After a few comments from the male front A changed her mind and resumed
that we were also connected to the cosmos when awake.
Ambar
assumed that there were two truths which were distinct from each other. The one
he recalled was that the cosmos was complete chaos and the other was that it
was uniform, all the laws according to physics, gravity and space-time. There
is cosmic order in everything, just like the example of the fractal shows….in
the big and in the small it’s always the same principles. And then he brings in
an ethical note : Good / Bad the Universe does not care…
Mike starts
out with chemical elements. He talks about the existence of helium/hydrogen and
then finally carbon,….without which we as a compete humankind could not have
come into existence. He says that it was a pretty unromantic notion,…and just
like Amber he confirmed : The universe does not care about humans,….the only
thing that matters is the objective!
For Brad
the current view of the universe is extremely limited, considering the
discovery of x-fields and dark matter. Yet of course the earth is part of the
cosmos. We have different versions of the universe but we don’t know how to
understand it anymore….space-time does not exist anymore the way we thought it
was.
On the
other hand Ambar reminds us that compared to 100 years back or so we know much
more and it is reliable. Mike refers to the Big Bang and in
his opinion people like to fill in gaps so as if it were necessary to make the
analogy that GOD was behind the Big Bang. Then A assures us that we have a
cosmos inside of us as well and that caring for planet Earth is a revolutionary
thing. The more we know about our own planet the more we care.
Thinking
more about Earth Ambar also commented about a connection he knows still from
his own tradition: Humans are cremated and descend or ascend ….so one’s own
body is Earth,…and Ambar continues: “so I could be a flower after I am gone”.
Brad finds this thought very reassuring. Ambar adds to the thought: …”we are
all molecules and as time progresses it gave me
better grasp of what my being is”.
Michael
says that our planet THE EARTH has cancer and that there are so many things
still we don’t know about her; we can even cause our own destruction, but GAIA
does not care one bit. Human beings usually overshoot their own importance.
“But
doesn’t the Earth’s cancer make us hedonistic ?” asks Ambar (question stays
open)
Brad
continues with the observation that we as people have a much less close
relation to immediate environment and A hopes that we are moving into a
direction of an evolution for everybody.
