We are embedded in the Story of the Universe
I'm studying an online course at Yale - Story of the universe. Its based on a book by Brian Swimme and Mary Evelyn Tucker and video films with Swimme as a host and some kind of storyteller. He means that we are facing the end of our last story, the one of men as kings and rulers on the earth. An egocentric and anthropocentric story. We have seen nature and the rest of the animals as resources. We have lost our sense of awe over the Earth and cosmos. And it doesn't seem that we understand that we all are made from dust from an exploding supernova, a very big star. Swimme means that the universe seem to be a self organizing entity. New stars are born in the arms of galaxies and after a long while they will die, as our sun will. As in Buddhist philosophy everything is changing and there is no essence in the universe, in fact everything is in its center! You and me and a fish in the sea and a sone at Mars and so on. So maybe everything is related - we are for sure r
