If a man could be throughly penetrated, as he ought, with this thought,
that we are all in an especial manner sprung from God, and that God
is the Father of men as well as of Gods, full surely he would never
conceive aught ignoble or base of himself. Whereas if Caesar were
to adopt you, your haughty looks would be intolerable; will you not
be elated at knowing that you are the son of God? Now however it is
not so with us: but seeing that in our birth these two things are
commingled--the body which we share with the animals, and the Reason
and Thought which we share with the Gods, many decline towards this
unhappy kinship with the dead, few rise to the blessed kinship with
the Divine. Since then every one must deal with each thing according
to the view which he forms about it, those few who hold that they
are born for fidelity, modesty, and unerring sureness in dealing with
the things of sense, never conceive aught base or ignoble of themselves:
but the multitude the contrary. Why, what am I?--A wretched human
creature; with this miserable flesh of mine. Miserable indeed! but
you have something better than that paltry flesh of yours. Why then
cling to the one, and neglect the other?

Star Children or Children of the Universe is the same as what Epictetus would have called being the Children of the Gods. Ie, we are all Star Children or God's Children and we prove it by acting according to the Universe in all circumstances even when we are in danger, or under temptation, etc. So go forth and prove yourself worthy of being a child of the Universe by keeping a mind that is pure and loving, a heart that is compassionate, a body that is active doing good deeds, and a spirit that constantly praises God for the good things given to you.
