What a wonderful story, Antoine, thanks for sharing. Having a screen like that and seeing the universe thru Hubble must be a fantastic experience, one of the best life in this universe can offer. I have always thought looking into space at night when you can see the light of stars filtered through immense time and space is one of the most direct experiences of mysticism and non duality that everyone can have. To me, the concepts of natural science such as astrophysics, nuclear physics and evolution have always been direct pointers to what the old traditions speak of, much more so than the standard type of Christianity here have ever managed to present. Thanks for this reminder of some childhood fascinations. Love, Amanda.
