SPACE COLLECTION

Space is an infinite, intelligence field that embodies immeasurable life forms along with the forces that generate life. It is as dynamic as it is still and awe-inspiring. The closest most of us come to it is while flying in a plane, but those who have ventured out beyond the atmosphere of planet Earth often have been transformed by what they experienced. In many ways we are made out of the elements that are found in space, and the mystery of that connection can at times be mesmerizing as we look up at the night sky. The images offered here are by courtesy of NASA and Visible Earth. Some come from Hubble, from Apollo 17,  some the International Space Station, and various orbiting crafts as they monitor the weather, volcanoes, earth changes and so on. They are meant to be of service to science and the public, and are great teaching tools for kids.

Space landscapes

These images were captured by astronauts as they flew over the earth. We can see how diverse aspects of the creation fit together and interact in a way that promotes the well-being and balance of her main elements of earth, air, water, and fire. Life wouldn’t exist without them. These cups are a great reminder of how life fits together in the overall scheme of things, and from a distance that lends an overview of events, we can better understand how it all fits together.

 

Space waterscapes

Seeing bodies of water from above is almost as captivating as seeing the sky from below. It gives us a sense of how vast our world is and how vital the elements are to our existence. We intuitively know this, which is why we seek out opportunities to immerse ourselves in them in one form or another. These cups can remind us that we are part of an immense universe functioning as an interconnected existence that remains available as a source of serenity and awe, ever available as an enlivened intelligent, responsive connection.

Planets

Since ancient times our ancestors have been following the stars and the constellations, and appreciating the influence of these grand energies upon our lives. Even from millions of miles away they exert their influence according to mathematical precision. Existence continues to demonstrate amazing patterns upon and around these planets, whether it be in the gasses that surround them, or in the way that the elements intermingle on land. Using these cups remind us that the laws of Nature are far-reaching as well as active inside of us, because we are part of this vast universe.
