I think of a human figure as an energetic manifestation of the cosmic energy.
As human beings, we are all connected with each other. Not only do we have the same biological lineage, but also share a common history and destiny as a species living in this remote corner of Cosmos.
The way neurons establish connections follows the same pattern as the way trees grow, rivers branch out and lightnings spread in the sky. We are all expressions of the cosmic energy.
When I was on a meditation retreat in the mountains of New Mexico, for a brief moment, I found myself synchronized with the mountains, stars, lakes and trees around me.
There are 100 billions neurons in our brain just as there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy. We are made of stardust.
