"The moment we know that we are not alone, that we are almost certainly not the most advanced civilization ever to have existed in the cosmos, we will realize that we've spent more funds developing the means to destroy all life on the planet than it would have cost to preserve it." - Avi Loeb, Former Harvard Chair of Astronomy in his new book documenting the first signs of intelligent (and advanced) life beyond earth.
I love seeing both the findings and ethics of astrophysics catching up to what we've been teaching in metaphysics for so long:
✨We are not alone in this universe and part of our challenge in our time on earth is to understand our higher purpose in the greater cosmos
✨We have all the power and tools that we need to create an abundant and peaceful world for all
✨When we come to see ourselves as one of likely many galactic beings, it is far easier to overcome our differences and work towards our common good
