As we look out into the universe, does it look back at us?

This “false color” image from the Spitzer Space Telescope of the Helix nebula has an all-seeing-Gnostic-eye staring scarily down on us from the heavens. Its monstrous leer seems to want to penetrate our souls.

In actuality, the Helix nebula is a dead star surrounded by clouds of gas that have “puffed out”. Still though, this very simple physics concept still permeates our psyche with its familiarity. This fear may not be so far off and might just be based in our socialized training that we receive every day.

In the United States, even our money stares back at us. It’s as if those in power and the rest of the world know better, and we are its dupe.

This is where our initial reaction is simply wrong. The universe is a mirror of our own souls. We are its master. We are also its grateful servant.

Those that only wish to gain power through this manipulation of our fears will cower to our empowerment soon to be revealed. This universe is telling us these telltale signs that those that abuse power, have forgotten their own place in the universe and soon will meet their due.

We will prevail.
