The Pale Blue Dot is so small it encompasses a universe of multiple universes, Conservation of Complexity
When you look out into the night sky and marvel at the stars, do not feel as though you are insignificant, instead, consider that you are actually looking at yourself from the outside in. Today, as I begin the new year, I have great troubles with Carl Sagan's pale blue dot. It is a perspective in contradiction to the new paradigm of consciousness, it clings to materialist / determinist ideas; we are not small and insignificant as we are asked to reference our size in relation to the cosmos and also to suggest that our problems are unimportant by mere contrast and comparisons of size alone. In fact, the whole notion of scale and size is engrained in our belief systems with self denigrating perspectives such as these. I ask you all to consider letting go these old notions and consider instead that our life form is as complex and as vast as the entire observable universe; there is a conservation of complexity at every conceivable scale where bigger does not mean better and smaller
