Gah!! love the way you think and thanks for the thoughtful reply. following you now for more..

Certain mushroom spores may have been carried to earth by asteroids from planets destroyed billions of years ago .. I wonder what stories they might have to tell

You did it again! Mind expanded! Lol, but in all seriousness, this is truly epic stuff. It blows our isolated anthropocentric viewpoints soooo out of the water. It amazes me how insular (most) human thinking is. haha it's laughable that humans consider themselves so superior to everything!

I keep coming back to the implications these awarenesses have. It's like once you see something you can't go back to unseeing it. You can't go back to having a small picture about what's going on here. It reminds me of being in the jungle after a night in the maloca after consuming ayahuasca... there is So much going on here beyond our minds... Even reaching to the solar system as you say. Makes like a lot more interesting, and it is naturally and wonderfully humbling. XO ~wren
