Default Who are we?

Note: these are my personal opinions, nothing else. I would also like to add that I do not belong to any organized religion.

Earth.
Made up of so much life... sentient life... is this life a part of something larger? We cannot grasp this using our physical senses - but yet we feel, know that there IS something. What is this, that makes us aware who we truly are?

The cells of our bodies... they are lifeforms, but don't have any senses like we do - they cannot hear, think, they cannot see... yet, somehow our very cells have a memory of their own – they fill a purpose, every single part inside the cell does a specific task – yet lacks the physical senses to do so. The physical cell alone could not do what our cells actually do – they do something more, something beyond their physical capabilities. Why is this?

One by one, they could never have this ability - but all together, connected into forming one human being, they take part of this greater consciousness that is us. Our cells share our consciousness - and this gives every individual cell things that lies beyond its physical senses.

Us.
Many humans on Earth have a feeling there is something greater, something more - yet our physical senses tells us this is not the case. But we STILL have this feeling. We feel things that lies beyond our physical senses.

An explanation for this, would be that ALL life is a part of a greater consciousness - Earth. We are the very living organisms that is a part of Earth - just like our cells are the living organisms that makes us.

We can feel that there is something greater - because we are a PART of it.

In all times, since our very self-realization of our species, the human race have been seeking for the origin of our creation – how did it all start? Why did it start? Why is there life on Earth? What makes Earth special? A huge number of perfectly met conditions, such as distance to the sun, ozone layer, etc? This explains *how* Earth managed to hold life. But WHY?
We, ourselves, hold the answer – it lies within us, within the way we work. Why can our cells do things beyond what seems possible to explain with scientific knowledge? This question is the answer itself.

Our bodies are made up of billions of cells... each cell, a living organism in itself. Together they form a larger consciousness, a human being. We, in turn, are also living organisms - and like the cells... together, are we all a part of another, larger consciousness?

The cells of our body lack the physical senses to understand that they are a part of something larger. Are we the same? Do our physical senses prevent us from understanding the real state of the world, of our universe – because we are blinded by thinking that they are all we have?

Is there more?

Who are we?








Watching that video - and realizing the insane complexity of our existence fills me with awe, but also with a great sadness. All of this, happens BILLIONS of times right now, inside me, inside all of us... and I sit here and drink Coke and type on my computer? It feels like... life is so wonderful, like all life is meant for something - and we are wasting that away... Every single lifeform is a masterpiece, something to deeply respect and appreciate.

There is so much... and it feels like we should appreciate and respect this so much more.
