"The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of galaxies, in a universe that is infinite and expanding. But this is far from the end of a long history of inquiry. Huge questions remain to be answered, before we can hope to have a complete picture of the universe we live in. I want you to share my excitement at the discoveries, past and present, which have revolutionized the way we think. From the Big Bang to black holes, from dark matter to a possible Big Crunch, our image of the universe today is full of strange sounding ideas, and remarkable truth. The story of how we arrived at this picture is the story of learning to understand what we see."

It is time to connect the east and the west
For years we developed a gap between races. What I have realized by meditating and studying cultures, biology, geography, religions and the whole universe is that we need to start connecting ourselves with the universe inside us and the universe outside.
The West has used technology to study and discover the life around us, the East use more natural ways, their observations to study the same things.
As a species with the skills to use our hands and minds to create we should connect the both ways to discover world, not to create a gap between them and thus creating even bigger gap between different races, the friend next door and even our family. We let our believes and religion stand in the way. Instead we can connect each other by seeing not the differences but the indifference's in species. We can teach each other on what we know and listen to what the other has to teach for us. I always say give people three chances. The same goes with all the new things you try or learn.
In Western society we have always tried to explain things we see by exploring it outside instead of observing it. But in Asia the same discoveries are made by observing ourselves (meditating) within. When we go deeper in us we realize our existence in a bigger scale also. Both ways of studying the world around us to understand, to satisfy the human need to explore are good, as long as we enjoy what we are doing and help to create a better universe to all of us to enjoy it equally.
Science and spirituality have been separated by Religion and believes. But I have been able to discover the world outside and within to see spirituality has nothing to do with religion. Religion is something your surroundings teach you; even your school teaches you. But spirituality is something that is lacking in the western education system. You cannot really study spirituality; you can observe it and guide other to observe themselves and the world around us through spirituality. It will set us free from the old habits of thinking and doing things and gives us more space to truly discover the universe using both modern technology and spirituality.
I realized we that we are all connected a part of a much bigger picture than we can ever explain through thinking. But we can understand it, understand how important it is to give importance and respect every aspect and everything involved in our lives by starting in this small tip of an iceberg called human body. Listen to it in silence. Then we can explore the same universe around us by using technology to see the other galaxies, maybe even other universes.
We are capable to create a space ship by using modern science and our hands and mind to travel to the space, but we are so many times missing the small things in life that are the key to a bigger inventions. We can connect dots and see starts billions of light years away from us, but we cannot yet connect our body to the earth, from where it came from, we are many times incapable to connect our love for the things we do to the love for our neighbor and our enemy. We can do so much more by just leave the old ways of thinking and doing in the past.
It is important to see the big picture, to discover the Big Bang in the Universe to be able to see how connected we can be in a small picture called human mind.
Like stars are born within a Big Bang, let yourself be created in the same way. Lose your thoughts of who you are to explore the Universe within. Nothing is what it seems, of what we have learned it to be. Question your mind, question the world around you!
“Pope Benedict XVI has denounced some of the gender theories, warning that they blur the distinction between male and female and could thus lead to the "self-destruction" of the human race. He warned against the manipulation that takes place in national and international forums when the term "gender" is altered. "What is often expressed and understood by the term 'gender,' is definitively resolved in the self-emancipation of the human being from creation and the Creator," he warned. "Man wants to create himself, and to decide always and exclusively on his own about what concerns him." The Pontiff said this is man living "against truth, against the creating Spirit".”
