My God--It's Full of Stars

This video is great, but the mind-blowing part comes in the final 27 seconds, starting at 1:26, when the camera zooms into the center of the galaxy.

Wow. That is breathtaking. Like old animation of the body. Zooming around someone's head, into their ear, and down to a single cell.

I hadn't made that connection, but Lance was just speaking to me recently about the Cosmic Body idea. I found a passage from the Vedas which confirms this:

Ayur-Ved says:

As is the atom, so is the universe.
As is the human body, so is the cosmic body.
As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind.
As is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm.

Running parallel to this, Sthapatya Ved says:

As is the human body, so is the cosmic body.
As is the human body, so is the body (structure) of the building.
As is the body of the building, so is the cosmic body
As is the building plan, so is the cosmic plan.

So we see that from the level of the atom to the level of the cosmos the same order and laws of nature are reflected. Likewise the human body, the building body we live in, and the cosmos are all connected by the same order and laws of nature.

FYI, that was from Understanding of Sthapatya Ved Knowledge
