😂!!! We follow stupidity in science because industry demands it! As we choke ourselves with Neanderthal technology, using solar panels and windmills, we’re going to ignore Nicola Tesla, the founding father of modern inventions and radiant energy! A clean 100% renewable energy that’s given off by the Earth, and no bureaucrat or media will ever talk about! Because you cannot control the people like that!!! Like Westinghouse said if we can’t put a meter on it, why would we want it? 97% the people can agree on something and it will never come to be! 4% of industry agrees on something, and it will become law! On both sides of the aisle!!! we are nothing more than Neanderthal sheep worshiping our idiot box liberal Nazi gods tell us, and we are no smarter than what we are told to be!!
“…Knowledge is a deadly friend When no one sets the rules The fate of all mankind I fear Is in the hands of fools…” ~ Pete Sinfield, King Crimson - Epitaph
as long as psychopaths, sociopaths, and highly narcissistic individuals exist and we continue to let ourselves be led by these people, Ron’s epiphany won’t be reached.
. . Let's not eliminate CO2 -- as if it were possible -- as CO2 remains as the only means by which we and all of life on the planet are able to feed through the process of photosynthesis to convert the sun's energy. Funding and career building requirements should not take precedence over real evidence and true threats that we face -- such as geoengineering practices for example that toxify the atmosphere and especially the soil over time to reduce the planet's ability to support life, as well as to create regional extremes of temperature and drought that are then attributed incorrectly to global warming, something that is not taking place -- versus efforts to create this impression as well as other crises if we give in and allow hysteria to rule us in the worst possible way. The individual perspective is the focus of power by which no person can be set against another with false and self-serving interpretations from another outside of ourselves.
Humanity as a whole doesn't deserve another shot. Greed is going to destroy everything good in life. Love is the only answer, for everyone and everything.
Huh? that statement contradicts itself, what are you trying to actually say lol? That kind of thinking wont advance us, that type of thinking doesn't allow forgiveness. Without being able to forgive ourselves, we remain the same. You final sentence says love is the only answer for everyone and everything, but your first two sentences say otherwise. Polar thinking like yours makes us miss out on every color between black and white in life. if you only see; On and Off, Yes and No, Right or Wrong, Good or Bad when you look at things, then it might be time to evaluate things and make some changes because you're missing out on all the fun that comes with existing in the here and now. Leave that type of thinking for computers, you can do better, you're human! We're out here waiting for ya and you're always welcome! It doesn't matter how long it takes you to figure it out, everyone figures it out eventually. That's why no one is ever late to the party, everyone arrives when they are supposed to. c:
Yea. Not just stardust. It’s trivial we have atoms from myriads of miles away. We are actually embodying the SPIRIT of the universe. When we feel deeply fulfilled, we have a light aura around us which is non-physical.

I am bawling with this. One thing I tell pretty much everybody who comes to me with a problem is “zoom out”. We all need to zoom out, look at the bigger picture. Appreciate what we have and strive for others to have it as well. This is a great and very insightful video.
I am so awed by Ron and by his devotion and dedication to sharing his profound, transformative spaceflight experience with the world. He is the poster child of the Overview Effect. He left Earth a fighter pilot and returned a conservationist, humanitarian, and artist, desperate to share his new perspective with the rest of the planet. His heart is huge and he's spent years integrating his experience and refining the way he shares it. We're so fortunate for this.
@@RonGaran and MaryLiz, I have been aware of the separation of mankind from most everything else in nature since I was a small child; Because of which, I have suffered from a deep depression all my life. Despite all that, I still have hope for us to grow and become a "planet first society". My main question is and has been for a long time: How do we get there from where we are now? I have some ideas but don't exactly know how to implement them in a peaceful and civilized way. If you have ideas as well and would like to collaborate, please feel free to get my email from my channel and send a message. Thanks
Tbh if world leaders took a trip around low earth orbit it for sure would change how they see the world and people. I havent been to space but having the chance to watch vids and understand other people's perspectives its changed how I see things and since this war started its really confused me. I dont understand why people are being killed and for what? When you have the perspective of space in your mind and how little we are not just as a species but as a planet, you then realise there is no need for war or hate, we should all care and love each other and let's all work towards the future of our species.
Yes, however many people had this perspective as young adults without ever having gone into space. Many people have this wisdom and fundamental understanding built within, it's certainly not new.
Goosebumps. I've been playing and philosophizing with this perspective since the moment I started looking up in the sky into space as a teen. The ability to make us realize that we're all on the same team. We do it when we meet a person from our own street in another part of our neighbourhood. We do it when we meet a person from our own neighbourhood in another part of our city. We do it when we meet a person from our city in another part of our country. We do it when we meet a person from our country in another part of the world. We go: "Hey, that's cool! I live there too!" It's time for us to move up another level. Planet Earth. That's cool! We live there. Much respect and appreciation for sharing this unique perspective and awesome message, sir!
What we desperately need is to move into a unified global strategy that pushes back the excesses of economic prosperity so it affects everyone’s well being even if that being is less than the West has become enthralled with due to lifestyle advertising. It’s not the G7, EU, Russia, China, etc. It’s the planet. But first we must stop zealous and bigots from protesting for or against issues that are, view from above, trivial. That also includes saving the planet for Western economic expansionism, which is what Climate Change is, the West’s advertising hoarding promoting itself as being the best. Living in the UK in a large Victorian house with no cavity wall insulation I’ve discovered heat, given the expense of always on storage heaters, isn’t required constantly, turning to a single 5KW wood burning stove instead. Heat, like light, extends the working day. Heat grows a service economy. Physical exertion, in manual labour, creates body heat. The West has lost the plot over its comfortable environment which has generated soft specimens unfit for its climate. All our insulation has trapped the cold in, and the heat, so those in fuel poverty suffer from damp and mould in cold spells. In the UK you feel the damp cold not the warm cold. In Poland it’s said the cold is crisp and dry. Simply pulling back from the narrative on heat shows how we’re being sold a strategy that makes heat a necessity because the insulation policy creates sealed homes with no air flow to prevent moisture accumulating. An economic utility through a bad policy. We can save the planet but thinking is so polarised around economic expansionism that we are directed to problem creation not problem solving, which I think is the political aim, to perpetuate problems giving governments a constant purpose. Actually solve the planetary issues with sound policy and governments with the conflicts they thrive on won’t be needed. Hardly the outcome national leaders desire, or businessmen, but a sound global progressive strategy.
I love his point about not needing to leave the planet to realize this, I gained this perspective by age 20 without having to go to space, if the whole world just realized this so many issues would cease to exist. Wonderful video.
Literally teared up. I see our planet as a whole, one giant living organism. What saddens me and tears me apart the way how we are treating this magnificent planet that we’re all living in, the way how we’re treating each-other and all other living beings in it too. People must and need to realize that we’re all one big family and living inside a home that we call Earth. There are no borders, there are no “us” or “them” there are no “me”, there’s only “us”, with the whole, and if our mindset wont change, we will end up miserably and end ourselves for good sooner or later. No one will or can save us, not god, nor any religions or all the money on Earth, except us. We desperately need to shift our way of thinking towards each-other and all life on Earth including towards our own planet that we call HOME. I beg you humans, please wake up, change starts within, not the other way around. Much love to you all.

Exactly right! But it doesn't have to be this way. We have everything we need to build a positive and restorative future for all. We just need to have the courage to rise above fear and embrace the boundless awe and wonder that surrounds us constantly. When we do that we will realize our true unity.
Science give a more profound and beautiful perspective of life because is the constant search of truth, even if that is against our "gods", believes, pride...
I had a near death experience 12 years ago and viewed the Earth from what id estimate to be about 100,000 miles away. Theres alot that i learned in that experience but the one realization that stuck with me is how simple our lives and existence are yet we complicate things to wars, borders, race, hatred and separation because we dont comprehend the bigger picture.
Yes,, and a friend of mine used to tell me this quote she heard from somewhere in her travels that goes "I have my mind made up, so please dont confuse me with the facts." I love that quote it is so relatable.
Everytime I hear or war, disaster, greed, injustice, this is what I feel, but I have had words to articulate it. Great video. Maybe the best I've seen.
ust TO help you out a little... If you vibrate the "B" field of a magnet into a granite rock at the correct frequency you will see it become very soft and malleable easy to shape!!

Thank you so much, Mr. Garan to give us a wider perspektive. I think, you are right and I hope, the mankind will learn to love each other and our planet. Greatings from Germany, an stay blessed Sir. Sincerely Gertrud 🙏
Sagan's observation just two years after the overview effect was coined as a phrase, written as The Pale Blue Dot stunned me. To this day, I think of it as the greatest observation of all time, to Wit: "There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
Yeah good words to be sure. The problem we seam to be having is not easy to ferret out....at first. The general population of our world has been and is still being steered by forces beyond our control. Not talking about the cosmic conflict of good vs evil. Not in the sense some would presume I refer to. No, it's very much terrestrial, they look just like humans because that's what they are. Just because the majority of folks don't ascribe to the general theory of facts and truth doesn't mean a thing and certainly has no influence on what happens yesterday, today, or tomorrow. It's easier to lie to people than it is to convince them they have been lied to. There is so much sh¡t right in our faces every day, they don't even try to hide it anymore....very little, very brazen. The people who run and rule the world FOR PROFIT and lots of it don't give a sh¡t. If they did the world would most likely not be on the brink of caving in on itself. The little guys like me and my friends have zero say on what happens at the level where wars are planned, global policies are determined.....in fact, everything is a lie. Don't think so? No offense, you better go back and look closer and put fresh batteries in your abacus......better make it soon, their babbling about reducing the world's population will stop at some point and the "reducing" will start in earnest. It's already in motion and picking up momentum. Hopefully I'm wrong, 100% missing the mark. I wouldn't bet on it, not even with your money at zero interest assuming you extended me credit like the banks do. What they really do is extend you more debt. A credit score is them telling you how much further in debt you are allowed at the time of a particular financial review. Credit is debt, debt is credit. The borrower is slave to the lender. The world is in trouble and those that insisted on taking us for a ride to this point also insist on taking it all the way down. Watch it happen in real time, over the course of time. We're due for an extinction level cosmic destruction of the Earth soon. It's a cycle just like our sun and moon and planets have. Round and round, 365 solar, 360 lunar, repeat..... By the way divide 19 into 365 or 360 just for fun. It's 19.***** so if we went by that there would be 19 months each with 19 days with a leap year adjustment to pick up everything past 19.----- Gotta go for now and for later. ¿?¿?¿ Question what? Exactly.
@@prime-mateso much And to think he was “replaced” in the common view by the loudmouth NDT. Sagan was smarter than 99% of us but never shoved it in our faces. Wish I knew him personally.
Man oh man it felt gratifying to listen to this astronaut literally explain my own world view, and to see that Ive had the right idea all along. I guess this is the “orbital perspective”. Ive believed this way since way back in grade school due to my 4th grade teachers husband being a shuttle engineer (i lived in Kissimmee, Fl), and the opportunity our school had of select students having an opportunity to send letters to space for those that won the essay contest ( 27 from around the school district won, I included) and having the opportunity to watch a live feed just for the school’s watching these astronauts in space read our letters back to us. It was a mind blowing experience and completely transformed the way I looked at the world, and that worldview has maintained. I often find myself incredibly frustrated with humanity because much of humanity is either blind or ignorant of the truth of our very existence.
@@fretnesbutke3233 mind altering education. Most of humanity is stuck in our pre-space age draconian perspective of our Earth and our existence on it. But slowly its changing. I also suspect by coincidence that the recent disclosures of UAP’s is kind of creating a forced perspective change. Where it’s subconsciously forcing people to look beyond our own planet questioning our existence, and these people quite often find after these thoughts that they have found a completely mind blowing new way to look at the world. We will get there, but we have to work together, realize that our existence is bigger than just imaginary lines on a globe, and we the people need to force our politicians to accept this worldview.
The atmosphere is actually a lot thinner than most people realise. If the Earth was the size of a basketball, the livable atmosphere would extend less than 1 mm from the surface of that basketball Think about that
His words truly captivated what I’ve imagined for humans on earth. Every word and idea after another is very beautiful. He knows what he’s talking about. I can imagine what he’s talking about but it’s nothing compared to the actual experience. Good man and good insight.
Thank you! I had a 'religious experience' that was similar as a young teenager. I experienced reality as a beautiful, vibrant interconnected construct of beings throughout the universe, pulsing with powerful, loving golden points of light everywhere. It was overwhelming and unforgettable... No drugs were involved. I'm 68 now. Let's make your vision a reality! I can't thank you enough, Mr. Garan!!!
I had a similar experience when I earnestly prayed to God to give me even one hint that he truly existed. I was amazed and filled with boundless joy and love and a perfect sense of peace. There has Never been a doubt in my mind since that time 50 years ago when God touched me. He says " behold, I stand at the door and knock" . Our problem is we so seldom open that door and let his spirit into our lives. I'm still guilty of this but can never forget how for a period of time in my life I had no anguishabout what my purpose was or what to do next. It was all clear as glass.
What you Chester and @RonSkancke experienced is a glimpse into the true reality of existence. That realization and experience does not have to be unique or "once in a lifetime". This is what I mean by living a constant "Dolly Zoomed" life. On the one hand, we experience all the "normal and routine" things that define our daily lives (commutes, paying the bills, etc.) but on the other hand, we keep in focus the miraculous grandeur that surrounds us constantly. These are not two distinct and separated states. All is one.
Meanwhile, we have those looking for other planets to inhabit. Maybe, just maybe we should take care of this one first? I could see us looking for another home if there were some outside forces destroying Earth but it's US!!! Any species that doesn't take care of its home World is wholly unworthy to inhabit another!!!!!
@@flossietube2065well said that's exactly what I think. If we don't love and cherish our absolutely beautiful Blue Planet in all its entirety, then we don't deserve to go to another planet. If we looked after our beautiful blue planet Earth there would be no need to go to another planet we have the most beautiful planet right here right now.
Thought this way prior to hearing this. Humanity's greatest power is our ability to cooperate. I can do a lot of things but I can never be 10 thousand people. If we all worked together we could do virtually anything.
I’ve always thought this. If you think about it - that’s really why we evolved to the top of the food chain - not even our individual intelligence! Yet of course, in our hubris, we attribute it to competition making us strong, “we won out”… such a foolish narrative.
Which is in stark contrast to Trump's divisiveness and his compulsion to denigrate and destroy anyone who opposes him or doesn't kiss his ring. I wish his MAGA's could grasp that fact.
Hearing someone with this background voicing these views is so incredibly comforting. Short term steps we can take to work towards that new paradigm are things like increasing the resilience of our communities by building community resources like gardens, water, power, housing, and communication networks.
Just TO help you out a little.. You are totally correct we are all connected in the same way via the magnetic field that is instantaneous . The speed of light is not significant to the magnetic field it travels through only restricted by same. E=MC2 is a joke. Try this,, If you vibrate the "B" field of a magnet into a granite rock at the correct frequency you will see it become very soft and malleable easy to shape!!

@@PhilipPedro2112 Not really true. If you reduce the population of the poorest 50% by 80% you'd have a FAR lesser effect than if you eliminated 20% of the wealthiest 5%.
This makes perfect sense to me. As a child, I had a feeling inside that myself I was unable to explain to anyone. When I was in my 30’s my ability to sense the emotions of others grew stronger & I finally broke my silence and told someone who I trusted & still trust today. She told me without a doubt in her voice, “you are an Empath”. I started researching it, learning as much as I could and seeing exactly how far will this go, how far can I take this. That feeling I had as a child was simply my soul knowing and showing me I am simple one of an infinite number of sparks that are connected to each other & we are everywhere & a part of everything. I have to keep control over my ability, but there are times when I simply let go of that control. It’s best to be done in water for the water acts like a natural filter. I’ve done this in the Atlantic Ocean & it was an experience that I will never forget. I felt the life we’re unable to see within the water, I felt grounded emotionally to where I didn’t want to leave Ocean, I wanted to stay. Outer space has life, you’re unable to see it, but it be there. Like oceans, forests,even within a single drop of rain. As an old Shaman once said “just because you do not see the Stag dose not mean he is not there”. We are all of Earth.❤
@@sosoblackfeather no, that's not what I'm saying. You should very much live yourself BUT in no way shape or form should you love what the Creator a.k.a Jesus Christ made more than loving and worshipping him.
@@rmdeb : only if you knew. Look into the Bible, there you will find the phrase “your body is my temple” and then look closely at Communion. When you drink the wine, you are drinking the blood of Christ. When you eat the bread, you are eating his flesh. Therefore he has become apart of you. So it only makes sense for you to love thyself. When you truly love yourself, you will then be truly loving Jesus. That’s what is Communion is all about. Becoming one with the creator.
EXACTLY, something I have ALWAYS proposed. Mankind is so clueless because they only see their narrow perspectives, living in their microcosms yielding small minds with small solutions. Humanity doesn't see things as they are, we're a small speck in the universe and we don't see things collectively, instead separately. Brilliant insight!
Agree, as Biologist, Neuroethologist this is clear to me. Yet, most people, family, and even close friends, still ask "why do you care about biology, there isn't where the money lies" They're right, but as a consequence, they are dead wrong! My whole purpose is to attempt to change that and try to depict the awesomeness of this living planet; I am eager to have that opportunity.
Those people who say "it's not where the money lies" are one of the biggest problems. They are just distracted by materialism, they don't question anything or think deeply about the meaning of life, any real purpose, or the universe. Like, what is the meaning? ( I think that is a line is some film IIRC) Is buying a new car next year the main priority in somebody's life? Or buying a more expensive house that they can't even afford? Yeah, maybe there is not much money in biology, philosophy, or even physics nowadays, but being able to study life and try to work out our place in the universe is priceless. Just personally though, I find astronomy scary, even though I like it. That even the local stars/solar systems closest to us are still tens or hundreds of trillions of miles away from us in that incredible void we call space.
People better start caring where the money lies, because the love of money is the root of... I will say the majority of the greatest evils in our world. If we do not cure this corruption, we are on the path to apocalypse. You can learn all the science in the world, it does not cure the evil in the human heart. "People are basically good." That's a real side-slapper.
Ancient Hindu literature and history is filled with such wisdom which guides to go within. One can attain and get all the answers just by meditation..In India great sages and Rishis have gain all the knowledge by just meditating and going within...
Great video with a great message! Brian Cox once suggested taking all world leaders into space to experience this very "overview effect". Not only would this be a great help in curbing their incredible megalomania, but it would also help them realize that we as humanity need to work together and protect the planet.
This is one of the most touching videos I have seen on this channel. It has been my conviction for a long time that mankind needs to change their priorities from economy/society/planet to planet/society/economy if we want to survive and prosper.
yeah, and I bet this fella is totally ok with the powerful people at the top of the global hierarchy to make the best decisions for humanity as a whole. As in, he is totally onboard for "global governance", via some collectivist/communist technocratic society. That's where all this BS propaganda leads, and I for one ain't buying it !!!!

"Think globally, act locally" has been lived by many without going into space or even thinking about space.. We do that by caring for all life and the bottom line is forgiveness. We cannot love the earth and its inhabitants when we carry grievances. When we forgive, there is only light, not darkness: fear is transcended through love.
This was a philosophy that was encouraged when I was at university studying geography and regional planning in the late 80s. Never heard a single utterance of it since.

There was a time when the state of the environment was more local and taken care of without blame. In our short term commune in 1971, we started a recycling center and the first farmers' market in a town of 4000 in the Midwest. I think that spirit is still alive but it needs a revival.

Maybe we are just "at that awkward stage," and we will soon grow up and become a responsible species?

the integral worldview he mentioned overlaps largely with the metamodern movement. i would love to see a video explaining the movement beause in my opinion its one of the most important topics for humanity right now. change is happening and i think its about time for larger channels to cover those kind of topics. Thank you for this video and the contribution to the community.

Now once we learn to respect eachother , we might start to respect our ancestors the animals and life on earth. Your comments are so intelligent and logical. Your intellect is refreshing.
I love how he said that we are of earth. This shows that we are not on earth, we are in earth and of earth. The planet doesn't end at our feet, but thousands of miles above our head. So by that premise, the earth may not even be going "around" the sun, the earth is in the sun, and of the sun. Just like the earth doesn't start or end at our feet, so does the sun. It doesn't start or end at the fiery surface. Who knows, what we call the solar system, another observer might call an atom. They might observe what we call planets as objects orbiting it's nucleus. Who knows, the sun might even be a photon of light to a very massive intergalactic observer. Anything is possible at this point.
Yuri Gagarin was the first astronaut to orbit planet Earth once in 1961. The new edition of his book Road to the Stars tells his story and his vision of Earth. In all that time since then we have failed to listen to their stories.
We have failed to listen to the experts on humanity such as Buddha, Confucius, Jesus, and Lao Tzu, who all saw the fundamental problems of humanity and laid out their solutions for us. The fall of man was about 3,000 BC and we’ve been living in the dark ages since.
.. why they killed him? They give him a broken plane to test it.. He wants to tell the truth that nobody can't go to the universe.............. The bird 🐦 tells me that..
@@usarmyveteran177 Religion controlling society caused the dark ages. Modern religious countries force citizens to be their religion or they get tortured.
I became an ecologist because I feel that interconnection at a cellular level. I have felt it deeply since childhood. I do not understand why a profound sense of interconnection is not a universal experience.
Yes I understood this concept more clearly this year If we moved from a dualistic idea that me and you are separate to a more unified consciousness we would let go of the negative aspects that our ego and identity brings and embrace the love that we all share
Just TO help you out a little.. You are totally correct we are all connected in the same way via the magnetic field that is instantaneous . The speed of light is not significant to the magnetic field it travels through only restricted by same. E=MC2 is a joke. Try this,, If you vibrate the "B" field of a magnet into a granite rock at the correct frequency you will see it become very soft and malleable easy to shape!! Think about what Quarts rock is made of and it should answer your question, The center of a magnet is what we are all made of: a magnetic hologram of sorts, never ending! That's why they used the Pyramids to transport themselves through the universe. E=MC2 is a total Farce!!
He’s borrowed a few terms there. “ we are not IN the universe, we ARE the universe becoming conscious of itself” - Nassim Haramein the physicist has said this consistently - as well as many mystics and philosophers… “ we are not FROM the Earth, we are OF the Earth” - many mystics, philosophers, polymaths, students of ancient mystery schools have known, lived by this sentiment for hundreds of years….. anyone whom has had an awakening to the reality that this universe is teaming with highly advanced humanoid, insectoid, and many other advanced intelligent life forms ~ Is basically just joining the portion of humans alive - and we are in the billions - whom are truly awake and have remembered everything that the Matrix tries so hard to keep us distracted from remembering.

A funny thing happened on the way to the moon... And my favourite quote from my favourite astronaut dear old Buzz Aldrin... His answer to a little girl's question about the moon, it was quite a simple straight to the point answer... 'WE DIDN'T GO'... got to love cuddly Buzz.🎑🚀🤣
I’m so glad that he sees hope in people realizing this because I have always been so frustrated and upset that no one around me seems to think the same way, they never take the environment into consideration, I try to convince people to stop shopping at SHEIN and shopping so much in general, to turn off the lights when they’re not using them, to buy less plastic and disposable items, to stop using pesticides and other chemicals, and to be as gas efficient as possible, etc. but it seems like no one understands the importance of these things! How can I help the people around me truly understand how to be environmentally conscious and the importance of it!? It truly frustrates me daily.
You can just 'feel it' in this mans voice, there's such an interconnected peace in the very sound and energy of this man speaking! Thank you for this video and the beautiful message! ❤
In the Vedic tradition there is a phrase in Sanskrit - Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - which means "The world is one family", which encompasses all living beings.
Nowadays love is out of jealousy,self pity but not the true love we used to feel for one another. That's why people marry n divorce in less than a year. There is no sacrifice, compassion, understanding one another and trust. No TRUST at all.....
you obviously missed the entire point of this video and the pre existing ideology behind it and are not even close to getting it. You have to be severely delusional to believe that trump gives a fuck about anything but himself, every time he speaks he shows what a petty ,spiteful, vindictive and selfish creature he is. People like you and him can't grasp any other perspective outside of your own baser instincts and desires. Biden is merely the other side of the same coin@@trump45and2zig-zags
This is the same feeling I have after 22 years being an immigrant in Canada. We are fighting away 99 percent of our energy to protect us against imaginary enemies. In fact we are one race and one kind. We should find or keep finding ways to improve our planetary environment as a whole.
suckered us in with the title making it seem like he was going to question the earths scale 😂 you got 47secs before i could smell the global warming commy racket .
I didn't have to go to space to experience the 'overview' effect. All I had to do was look up at the corona from the total exclusion zone during the last solar eclipse. The sky took on a 3 dimensional depth I had never experienced before. I think most umbraphiles are in reality experiencing this 'overview' effect, possibly without realizing it.
You are absolutely right Paul you don't have to go to space to experience the overview effect and you don't have to go to orbit to have an orbital perspective (that's why in my book "The Orbital Perspective" I included so many stories of people exhibiting the orbital perspective who had never been to space). It is in those moments when we are open to the miraculous awe and wonder that surrounds us constantly that we are able to experience the transformational overview effect and take on an orbital perspective.
you're one of my new favorite Earthlings, Ron. to have done all you have and come back with that perspective shows me what your heart is made of and I couldn't be more grateful. 💜💜💜🎶
@@RonGaran I want to add another common experience as an enlightening one: When you look up at the noon sun on 22nd Dec, directly behind the sun is the place where you (and we, the earth) were present on the preceding 22nd Jun. You can experience the same with the Equinoxes. Then you simply have to imagine a little the wide circular arc that the vast ball you are standing on, follows around the giant shiny bright ball of unbearable white light which is the noon sun. Imagine a jet trail left behind by the Earth as it moved around the Sun and imagine you can see this mighty circle when you look up at the noon sun. We're all on this ball spaceship, zooming in a wide circular arc around the bright white star. Timelapse photos of the rural night sky also show how we are the ones moving on a wide platform under the great river of stars in the sky. The whole platform is spinning. These few experiences always remind me of my primary identity in the sky as an Earthling. Hope this helps someone. Live long and prosper. 🖖
This amazingly fit with the a practical philosophy book I read: “Purposehood -Transform Your Life, Transform the World” This book changed my outlook on life and see oneness in existence.
I’ve had the dream of seeing Earth from out of our atmosphere, our beautiful Blue Earth 🌏….My ex-husband joked about this with his father. “Bubba” told him, don’t laugh about that being an absurdity. He said, during my time we didn’t even have transatlantic flights Jack. Years later, if you could afford it, Russia began bringing up non-astronauts and now private US citizens have rocket/outer atmosphere programs. I gave up on this dream, and I don’t know how this video came up on my feed, but I am crying and moved bc it did. Thank you …❤❤😢
If you mean Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians he didn't say this quote It was Chief Seattle "The Earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." Chief Seattle Duwamish tribe Peace and Love !
I really hope we don’t have to relearn the lesson we learned from ww1, and then had to relearn again through ww2. And that lesson is basically explained by this video. We sure like to remember the veterans, which is important, but I’m afraid we don’t remember the lesson enough.
A beautiful portrayal. This type of wisdom , are far and few points occurring nowadays. I wrote the Dolly zoom effect, as a 'Google Map effect' when it was introduced initially: when I zoomed out from a building top into space. As regards the three dimensional effect he was referring to, a two dimensional mirror reflects a three dimensional space which is an illusion.
@@thememaster7 As far as man is concerned there isn't one. As far as God is concerned ... He wrote a book and it tells you of the beginning ... the middle ... and the end of this story.
pfff =>i saw it and i see a lot of propaghanda 😲 Sadly most "crisises" are created => but they keep talking abouth "WE" => as it is our fault ! Way too much to explain this whole video what's wrong with it , but it's a lot (sadly) 😕
"Our main problem is extremely rich people hold back innovations so they can get richer. Tires that never wear out, Cars that get 200 mph, truly clean free energy. All these innovations and more are held back so the Mega Rich can continue to enslave us with 60hr work weeks. And yet, they fear the masses so much they refuse to admit they are trillionaires. To these people I say - you reap what you sow, and harvest time is upon us." - M7
I realized this reality of interconnectedness and interdependency when I was like 20 and spent a lot of time trying to convince people that it’s not some hippy bull shit ideology. It is *a fact* , it is in your best interest to help someone because ultimately you are helping yourself by helping them. Even When if it’s someone halfway around the world. I found out it’s pretty hard to convince people of this. It’s depressing knowing this and still seeing people living like it’s all about their own gain and that the earth and other people don’t matter.
They will wake up when their alarm goes off. The universe is fine, there's no real danger, we're victims of our own stories. Reality is seamless and whole, it's when we separate it into labels and concepts that we fall into delusion, all is well, nothing is as it seems because what we see is our conditioned global story, not reality as it is, reality as we imagine it. Don't worry, reality is invincible, it has no enemy, no threat, and reality is all there is, see if you can take off the false impression of an individual person and look out from your core rather than your conditioned act. Peace ✌
It's a fact that people do not realise because they are living in an illusion We have one experience and we are all experiencing that one experience, with a veil of separation It's not this veil is bad, it's beautiful and what allows this one 'consciousnees' to have unique experiences. But our realisation of the veil will either cause our demise as a species or our progression
I wasn’t able to go to outer space and get the Overview Effect, so I used psychedelic therapy to travel to inner space and it changed my perspectives in many positive ways. I agree with everything astronaut Garan is saying.
Same friend, so thankful for it too. This was years before people started talking about it in a therapeutic setting again but I knew it was going to change many of us for the better. It will continue to transform human beings and we will overcome!
Yes. There is more than one way to get an alternative perspective. Never got to outer space either , but visited "inner space" many times 50 plus years ago. You never quite leave those experiences behind, but in fact carry them with you forever (I'm 72 YO). I believe that this helped me to become a biologist who took the environment seriously. Regardless of any other differences people have with each other Earth is in fact the only home we have right now so we have to start taking better care of it. This must include ALL creatures that live here... not just man. Garan is spot on.
I love magic mushrooms… it not only releases my mind but I see how everything connects together and that everything on earth is a lie. I go all over the universe and talk with loved ones and God.
William Shatner said on returning to Earth as the oldest human in space, “My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral.” He says he will now spend his remaining time working for environmental causes ( which incidentally he has been involved in for many years).
I absolutely loved this and can definitely relate to it, thankyou. I feel I've recently had this perspective shift. I had started connecting to nature in a more spiritual way and revelling in the reverence and awe of its beauty and complexity. Then I became interested in learning about the universe and watching documentaries about it. Now I seem to carry around with me a more 'zoomed out' perspective and an awareness of the interconnectedness of all things. I've never been into tribalism but now even more so I see all life on earth as one family, past, present and future, and part of a great cosmic cycle. I'm also much more aware how tiny and vulnerable we are and feel grateful everyday for my comfortable life of abundance. I no longer take it for granted because it could be taken away at any moment.
Tribalism has its good aspects too (like an increased willingness to self-sacrifice for the greater good of the tribe). We will reap the full benefits of tribalism when we self-identify as a tribe of earthlings (and not just human earthlings).
@@RonGaran yes, you're right. Tribalism evolved in humans because of its survival advantages. I guess now with globalism and the fact that what people do on one side of the planet affects the people on the other side, and because we are so crowded together, it's becoming problematic. Social media algorithms and misinformation is creating a big problem by enhancing tribalisms darker side.
@@squeaker19694 I agree with all your points. Social media is currently creating wide divisions in society. At this point, it's important that each of us makes a commitment not to add to the problem. We should see different perspectives as a source of strength not as something to defend against at all costs. We need to strive to engage with empathy, compassion, understanding, and make sure we verify all our "facts" before we blindly share.
I’ve always thought if we can get people to somehow visualize the fact that we’re floating in darkness ~ nothing above nor below us, it will help solve our world’s problems. If Virtual Reality and other media can make programs like this, as stated in the video, I think this will help us realize that we only have each other.
ust TO help you out a little... If you vibrate the "B" field of a magnet into a granite rock at the correct frequency you will see it become very soft and malleable easy to shape!! Think about what Quarts rock is made of and it should answer your question, The center of a magnet is what we are all made of a magnetic hologram of sorts, never ending! That's why they used the Pyramids to transport themselves through the universe. E=MC2 is a total Farce!!
