You are a Star, a child of the Universe!
In 1969 Joni Mitchell wrote the song "Woodstock" which contains the following lines:
"We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden"
This is literally true. You ARE made from star dust, as is everything else in this universe. As a star cools and dies it throws off elements such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these eventually find their way into the material making up the atmosphere of a planet. And so into all forms of life. So you ARE literally made from star dust! You ARE a child of the universe.

That is the end of my astrophysics lesson!
But now think about this more metaphysically.
Stars have a special psychological meaning for us. They represent the ultimate goals for which we are aiming. And we make wishes upon stars, and especially upon comets that are carrying star dust to its next destination. So realize that you ARE a Star. And if you are a Star, that means of course your goal is achievable, no matter what it may be.
You are a child of the Universe. Whether you believe the ultimate creator is God, Allah, Yahweh, Brahma, or simply the Universe, you are its creation, its child. I will continue to refer to the Universe here, but simply replace that word with whatever fits into your own belief system. Just as you want the best for your children, so the Universe wants what is best for you. It will do whatever is necessary to bring you what is best for you, provided this is not contrary to your free will.
There does seem to be a universal principle that nothing should interfere with free will. And this is both a bane and a blessing. The bane is that if you focus on the negatives, then that is what you will attract to you. The Universe wants to bring you everything that is positive, but it will not contradict you, so if you are focused on the opposite, then the opposite is what you will get. The blessing is that once you recognize you truly are a child of the Universe, and focus on the positives, the things you really want, then that is what the Universe will deliver to you. Or rather, the Universe will so order things that as you work on achieving those goals the right people and the right resources will appear.
From now on, keep these two principles in mind. You are a Star, and you will reach all your goals. You are a child of the Universe, and as you work on reaching your goals the Universe will steer towards you whatever you need to reach them.

ReplyDeleteA wise man watches his faults more closely than his virtues; fools reverse the order.
We all have within us the potential for greatness or for failure. Both possibilities are an innate part of our character. Whether we reach for the stars or plunge to the depths of despair depends in large measure on how we manage our positive and negative potential. It is doubtful that, if left unchecked, your virtues will rage out of control. Unfortunately, the reverse is not true about your faults. Left unattended, faults have a way of multiplying until they eventually choke out your good qualities. The surest way to control your faults is to attack them the moment they appear. Napoleon Hill
