Imagine what’s out there that we don’t know... life certainly exists elsewhere

Standing obediently with all of nature. Surrounding the like but different in its own. The sun shimmers down through the open canopy above. The Gods are talking. What are they saying?

Listen close and you can hear their voices. They are saying just how lucky we are to roam this Earth. Humanity arose after microbial life forms emerged, and merged. A complex phenomenon which many have no idea of its origination.

Let’s just say that it all began when some replicating entity arose. Something that we may know of today as a gene. We know very well that genes are passed on to the next generation of life. So, it makes all the sense that life probably began — some 4 billion years ago — with an entity quite similar to that of a gene.

We must not take this crazy phenomenon — we call life — for granted. Time and space are boundless dimensions which continuously consume our every move, though, it seems. Time certainly isn’t stopping for anyone, or anything for that matter. And I can assure you space is about as unlimited as knowing we live in just one of the hundreds of billions of galaxies that remain unknown to man.

Can you even begin to fathom what other life forms exist?

I believe there is more to life than meets the eye. That's why I am always curious to hear, to read what other like-minded people think or say. I hope to read more of your thoughts here.

To think we arose from microbes, which arose from single cells, which arose from a replicating entity, which arose when RNA reacted with some other likely unknown substances in space is unfathomable. But this is something we must believe has happened elsewhere in the universe similar to humans and DNA

Yes, it is all so mind-boggling. We can never begin to understand what it all means, or how we came to be.

Whatever it ‘means,’ well, there must be a reason. Maybe the reason was to find another species inhabiting another planetary system. Whatever the case, we have arose into something that is unordinarily special, defying the theories that were predestined before life even existed

In the meantime, I guess we do the best we can with what we have got, what we know.

This is a great piece, more ink to your pen.
I believe there’s more than this to life, there would definitely be another form of life unknown and hidden from humans.

Thank you for that. I agree, life does exist elsewhere. It’s not so much a question about if, but rather where ?

No doubt in my mind but ignorance is bliss as it is often easier to doubt these issues and confront its potential.

It’s hard to even fathom because we honestly will never know, unless another life form ventures to us. Space exploration will never, at least IMO, allow humans to enter another galaxy

I think we're one with everything that exists, but we usually believe that we're a separate being from others and from our surroundings. We're so distracted with others meaningless things that we forget to listen, and that's how we can end up losing ourselves and taking everything for granted.
Beautiful article. Thank you for remind me again to always listen. We're so lucky to be here, after all.

We are one with everything, absolutely. Everything happening right now is a symbiotic and synergistic relationship in nature. Even the parasitic reactions are being waned off by the good around, it’s just hard to realize because we often are blind to both the inside and outside world.

A key take away message: Understanding to listen will help you listen to better understand

I firmly believe that there are lots of universes in many galaxies. There is so much for us human to learn. I enjoyed reading your ideas in the post.

Oh without a doubt. We are a grain of a sand. Not even a grain of sand. 1/10000000000 of a grain of sand in the universe. Imagine what else exists. I’m just afraid we will never know. Space exploration exiting the Milky Way galaxy is something well outside of our lifetime.... maybe even impossible given atmospheric conditions
