You think you’re driving fast when you reach 100 km an hour?
You think an airplane travels fast through the sky? Did you know that when austronauts fly to the moon, they are at a speed half of the speed of Earth around the Sun?
Have you ever looked at the stars and wondered how small they are? Have they filled you with a sense of wonder? Do you think your feelings might be shared by them?
Do you think your ego is important and your feelings matter? Have you pondered the important questions?

Of course it matters what you believe and how you feel. It is obvious from reactions of others in our small world. It is interesting that our Galaxy is almost as old as the universe. That Earth has only lived one third of the universe’s age. Also that life on the planet is almost as old as the planet itself.
It is interesting that the DNA which created you, cannot be altered from the outside and that everything living has an awareness of self.
If you assemble all the steps required to produce intelligent life on the planet, and then apply the law of random success to every step, you find a joke.
The joke is this: It seems that every step requires 1 agains 17.000.000 trials to select success. And if time taken to try each combination, 1/17.000.000 for every 1.000 steps required, the universe would need 1.000 times longer time, to create the first plant on the planet. It seems that every step taken succeeded at first try. As if designed.
Is there an awareness in every living particle? Is space brimming with life? Is space and time designed for living? And since our minds is created by this strange mass of space and life, why is our mind prepared to design, love, create and wonder?
There is more to life than meets the eye. I believe there is an awareness of God before the Big Bang. I feel it is evident from observing life on this planet, and space.
