What would you think, if I ask you to explain the workings of the Cosmos in relationship to us earthlings? Do you believe there is a connection, and if so, how are we connected? Here is the dictionary definition of the cosmos: the universe considered as a harmonious and orderly system; a nebulous definition at best, no help there.
All societies are created out of the minds and ideas of human beings. That there should not exit a direct causative relationship between the thoughts, conduct, and ideas of human beings, and our society, would be absurd. Add to the above reason that human beings are, in composition, microcosmic representations of the macrocosm, and that relationship should begin to crystallize with in you the kind of relationship that exists between you and the Cosmos. The knowledge of the processes and phases that function within human beings can be applied by direct analogy to the processes and phases on a larger scale, namely our human societies, and the Cosmos.
We humans, are primarily operating on a lower, animal level of our capacities, even though, in truth our total composition is capable of operating at an extremely high level. The animals have a certain ingrained instinct for letting other animals be, but because we humans place extraordinary attention on our minds and it’s thoughts, we intital our thoughts to move freely with no control, and thus strangle our higher capacities. We become satisfied and entrenched within our lower perceptions. These lower perceptions amalgamate into a certain stable, cliche truth, which in turn brings us a certain amount of reliable stability. We take our reality from our senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch. Our senses are a part of our material faculties, therefore they are objective, and present a physical reality. However, our senses receive input on a multi-dimensional field, but consciously interpret only a fractional part. For example, physics tells us that the total known range of light waves is from far infrared at .3 nanometers. Yet the average range of light waves, visible to our vision, is from 400 to 700 nanometers. We therefor, see only the smallest fraction of what is going on. Since our perceptions focus on a very small fraction of the comprehensive whole, our understanding is consequently greatly limited. Therefore, we should not give our senses much credence.
