Some people argue that we should not limit our awareness to the Earth in this age of space travel and space stations. What they do not realize is that being truly aware of the Earth will allow us to attain an awareness of the cosmos as well, for they are intimately interrelated. In fact, they are one and the same. The moment you become aware of the Earth, you will be awakened to cosmic awareness. You will have had to unbind the chains of all preconceptions and self-defeating ideas of limitation in order to develop a point of view that includes the whole Earth. This can only be done with cosmic awareness.
Looking at the whole of the universe, the Earth is tinier than the tiniest speck of dust in the room of the cosmos. However, collective human consciousness has not evolved far enough to even grasp the wholeness of the Earth. To talk about cosmic awareness while we are struggling to accept the Oneness of the Earth, our home, is premature.
Furthermore Ilchi Lee tells that, if we make an effort to engage in conscious evolution of our awareness, we will realize that we are One with the cosmos, at the very moment we realize we are One with the Earth. Earth simply provides us with a more concrete target for the path of our consciousness evolution. Perhaps, you could call it a sneaky path to enlightenment paved with only the best intentions.
