"AS ABOVE SO BELOW".
"Oh God, guide me, protect me; make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star." -- Abdu’l-Bahá
Yes, this litteraly shows that WE ARE THE UNIVERSE...
The universe is within us all, all things are reflections of you,
we are one. Really an Eye opener!
AUM* ETERNITY*

Every feature in the universe is also in our own body... the realized have told us this long ago... we should pay attention to that atleast now with such scientific proofs...
May Love and Light prevail
Love, peace, joy and gratitude

of the cosmos. The axiom "as above so below" or the microcosm and the macrocosm-----dives deep into this mystery!!!
Indeed--- the structure of the microcosmic brain cell- discovered by the Brandeis University student bears a striking resemblance to the above marocosmic snapshot of the present universe featuring the galaxies, stars and dark matter.
There is an important difference. That difference is QUANTITY
Just like a drop of ocean water in its chemical constituents bears the same analysis of combinations as the entire ocean.
BUT the drop is NEVER equal to the whole ocean.
Similar is essence --- BUT--- different in quantity.
In Sanskrit this philosophy is called achintya- bhedabheda- tatva--- simulataneous oneness and difference.
This is inconceivable to the mind--- because the mind is not unlimited--- it is bound by time and space.
The mind is vast and powerful but it is not everything.
To say we are one is part of the truth. We are one is essence with the universe---- but we are a tiny universe
compared to an unlimited( from our perspective) vast expanse of cosmic space.
Forget NOT that the drop of the ocean does not make the entire ocean.
Our miniature cosmic existence does not equal the entire cosmic existence.
We are one in essence--- but different in aspect.
Never will there be a point when our microcosmic existence will equal the whole universe.
Sometimes the microcosmic consciousness attempts to merge and become ONE with the whole entire universe.
This is artifical like the drop of ocean water thinking that it has become the whole entire ocean.
The brahman existence has eternity and knowledge --- sat and chit---
but the ananda or the bliss factor becomes available in the relationship between the small spirit to the big spirit.
