The world you live in comes from the human mind which comes from nature which comes from the cosmos. I'm not saying there's a entity out there that hand crafted the whole thing and grants wishes to everyone but it may be more connected than one would expect at first glance.  My personal opinion is that everything is one there's no separation between reality and what you could call the super consciousness or "god." You are in fact god and you're playing the game of life as the universe and everything in it for fun.

I think a lot of people hold this view and don't want to let go of it. What if depressed people were projecting their emotions onto the world?
"I am a worthless person"
"The world is an inhospitable place"
"My past is a tragedy; my future is hopeless" 

It sort of relates to these other view:
"Man is the by-product of mere chance"
"We live in a universe alien to us and ignorant of our destiny"
"We have come from nothingness and will return to nothingness after death"

Quote:

Beck developed cognitive therapy in the early 1960s as a psychiatrist at Penn. He had previously studied and practiced psychoanalysis. As a researcher and scientist, Beck designed and performed experiments to test psychoanalytic concepts of depression. Fully expecting research would validate these fundamental precepts, he was surprised to find the opposite. This research led him to begin to look for other ways of conceptualizing depression. Working with depressed patients, he found that they experienced streams of negative thoughts that seemed to pop up spontaneously. He termed these cognitions “automatic thoughts,” and discovered that their content fell into three categories: negative ideas about themselves, the world, and the future. Limited time spent reflecting on automatic thoughts would lead patients to treat them as valid.[20]

Beck began helping patients identify and evaluate these thoughts and found that by doing so, patients were able to think more realistically, which led them to feel better emotionally and behave more functionally.[20] He discovered key ideas in CBT, explaining that different disorders were associated with different types of distorted thinking.[20] Distorted thinking has a negative effect on our behavior no matter what type of disorder, he found.[20] Beck explained that successful interventions will educate a person to understand and become aware of their distorted thinking, and how to challenge its effects.[20] He discovered that frequent negative automatic thoughts reveal a person's core beliefs. He explained that core beliefs are formed over lifelong experiences; we “feel” these beliefs to be true.[20]

If you travel the cosmos you are an immigrant. And God don't need a passport. And in America that makes him an alien. Use your head ladies and men

I'm sure for a bacteria the "space" between the cells appears to be enormous. The "space" between atoms is also enormous. To you there appears to be no space. In the same way it appears there is huge space between other solar systems.

A hydrogen atom is about 99.9999999999996% empty space. Put another way, if a hydrogen atom were the size of the earth, the proton at its center would be about 200 meters (600 feet) across. While I wouldn't want something that big landing on my head, it's tiny compared to the size of the earth.




Extremophiles exist in many different environments we would consider inhospitable to life. Sure because you evolved on this planet it appears to be deadly but microbial life seems to be able to adapt to many extreme environments even space.

Quote:

In the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty went to sleep for 100 years in a castle protected by giant thorns and then was revived by the kiss of a prince. In 2000, scientists told a microbial version of this fairy tale, announcing that they had revived bacteria that had lain in suspended animation for 250 million years, encased in salt crystals deep in the Earth.

(Of course, the scientists did it by putting the bacteria in special nutrients, not with a kiss! See this ancient_sporenews report for the details.) If these scientists' claims are proved true, these microbes will take the prize as the oldest living things on Earth by far.

250 million years old—Wow, now that’s old! The first dinosaurs were just starting to appear on Earth at that time. It would be another 45 million years before Tyrannosaurus rex roared its first roar. The scientists believe that the bacteria got trapped in the salt crystals, which were buried 1,850 feet down under what’s now Carlsbad, New Mexico, in the southwestern United States.

How could the bugs possibly survive all that time, century after century, millennium after millennium, and suddenly wake up all perky when put into a nutrient-rich petri dish? The answer could be spores. The bacteria appear to be similar to modern day soil bacteria that form protective spores when things get tough. Spores are kind of like plant seeds—a tough protective shell insulates and protects the genes and basic cell parts, which are in an inactive state (that means they aren’t doing anything but just sitting there). Spores are much, much tougher than plant seeds, however. Spores can even survive blasts of radiation as well as years of going with no water or nutrients. If you want to know more about spores, visit this page on our site: How Bacteria Form Spores.




It takes time for stars and planets to form out of dust then life to form from elements forged in the stars but eventually they are all "natural" to the universe.
You are no more strange than a rock. You just took longer to happen. Intelligent life probably won't be human but I bet we'll find human characters because they're not actually "human." They're universal.

Pssst don't take this shit so seriously I ate some hash and I'm bakedd.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

More and more scientists are talking about the idea that life hitchhikes across the universe and is spread on comets and asteroids. 

We'll never know the answer to how life started in the first place (fun to speculate  on and talk about though) but the likelihood that one of the ways it spreads and roots in new places on ice comets and asteroids is certainly possible.


--------------------
"The universe is endless, limitless and infinite.  Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance.  We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end.  There is only memory.  Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends.  Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations.  Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death."

-- Ancient Taoist Master
