A View From Earth!
The Earth travels approximately 595 million miles around the sun every year at a speed of roughly
66,600 miles per hour or 18 miles per second.
It takes Light roughly 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
When one looks up at the Sun they are viewing events
that occurred 8 minutes into the past.
The Sun converts around 600 million tons of hydrogen into approximately 596 million Tons of helium Every Second. 4 million tons is converted into energy per second, roughly 240 Million Tons per Minute.
Some of the biggest Stars yet discovered by science are 3,000 Kelvin/cool supergiants 2,600 times the size of the Sun.
There are roughly 100+ Billion Stars in the Milky Way galaxy. There are roughly 100+ Billion Brown Dwarfs (Failed Stars) in the Milky Way galaxy.The Milky Way galaxy is around 100,000 light years wide, it would take you approximately 100,000 years to travel the Milky Way galaxy at the speed of light going 186,000 miles per second or 11 MILLION+ miles per minute at 669+ MILLION miles per hour.
Andromeda galaxy approximately 2,500,000 Light years away. The Light that recorded this image left Andromeda roughly 2.5 Million years ago. Andromeda galaxy is approximately 200,000 light years wide, twice the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
The Infinite Universe that never ends, can one-1 bend/wrap their mind around it.
LOL! You are hard to pin down I'll give you that my friend,
I remember some of my past lives and it means nothing to me today.
I can at will manipulate energy,
I never had the desire to develop it further because it means nothing to me...
I have read and understood many differing versions of why we are here, all end up contradicting themselves the further you enter into them,
The real truth is no one knows the reason we are here,
Be prepared for change, inside as well as outside, be open, never closed, be prepared to be wrong (from time to time), the essence of becoming.

The SOUL has three transcendent light bodies:
The ESSENCE
The HOLY SPIRIT
The TAO
The ESSENCE is where we perceive states of consciousness and feel and experience them through a matrix of what is known in allegorical metaphysics as THE GARDEN OF EDEN. This ESSENCE has infinite states of consciousness.
The HOLY SPIRIT is the attributes and powers, intelligences, and sciences of “God” that nourishes this ESSENCE body.
In the SOUL it is the TAO that brings from the unbounded spirit [RAO] the energy that nourishes the SOUL . . . which is the fourth reality in being—RAO
This is the unbounded sprit of nothingness and everything or the abyss wherein all are from and will return. The RAO is all around us.
The only thing in reality is the SOUL
ESSENCE
HOLY SPIRIT
TAO
That draws its existence from the RAO
The Vedic mystics call this the ATMAN [SOUL]
The Sufi mystics call this INSANUL-KAMIL- Perfect-Complete Being
The reason why there are trinities in all the mystical paths is because they are referring to this soul, not any “God”
Yoga:
Brahman
Vishnu
Shiva
Islam:
The Lord of Men
King of Men
God of Men
Christian:
Father
Son
Holy Spirit
Theosophy:
The Adept
The Goddess
The Master
Buddhism:
The Buddha
The Sangha
The Dharma
The Native American Great Spirit is the RAO
Whatever ET_MAN is and knows, I respect him.
But on this knowledge
I AM THE AUTHORITY!
Peace and blessings
