Most incredible photo ever taken by mankind

Some of you have probably seen this already, some may not have.

For 11 days the Hubble telescope stared at a seemingly unremarkable patch of sky, compared to half the size of the moon visible from earth, thats how small of a patch were talking here. The results are astonishing http://i55.tinypic.com/r90vvm.jpg in this photo there are an estimated 10,000 galaxies. Every single blotch of light is an entire galaxy filled with billions and trillions of stars each. Imagine if we could see the rest of the sky like this, there would be billions of galaxies! After looking at something like this, there is no way anyone can try and say that there is no life in the universe besides us.

I think its shameful how many religions have a firm belief that there is no life besides humanity in the universe. Their attempts to squeeze the universe within a small compass of reason is no less deplorable. There is nothing more painful for me to watch than the sight of a fully conscientious and intelligent human being defending an obsurdity that even a child could see through, simply because it forms an article of their faith. They are ignorant about the nature of their own consciousness, the unknown entity that inhabits humanity is still enveloped in mystery...

Yeah, That is why you should ignore the mortals and go on about your own business. lol

I speak of this often - the way I heard it: If you outstretch your arm with
your thumb up to the sky - the area hidden by your thumbnail - far out into space you are hiding 10,000 galaxies.

Now, move your arm - 10,000 hidden - move again another 10,000 blocked by your thumbnail.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Each and every star is a life form and they all have individual names. There are many forms of life in the Universe. Some forms of life are made from the fire of the stars, which is what the spirits are made from. Some life is made from dust, which is what the mortal human body is made from. The mortal body made from dust becomes eternal when it is forged with the fire of a star. The religions are very confused when it comes to the stars.

LOL...pretty much. But I also recommend sending good intentions and blessings out...so you are sending out light along the path as you forge onward and don't look back.

Cheers,
