So what does all this mean for us as individuals living complex lives in a complex and ever changing world? As we've seen in previous sections, understanding our cosmic nature and role can provide us with insights, capacities and sources of support that we could not have access to from a more limited perspective. When we see that we are the result of an unbroken thread of cosmic life extends back to the beginning of the universe, we can feel a kinship with everything that surrounds us. When we understand ourselves to be products of the same cosmic forces that light the stars and form the earth, we are empowered interaction in the world. When we feel ourselves in our lives as expressions of a larger perspective expressing its potential, we can relax and allow things to unfold naturally. Knowing that we are particular and distinct expressions of a universal potential can be a wake up call for us to appreciate and express our own unique gifts in the world.

Asking the question, what is it that I am called to express with myself is more than the search for an occupation in the world, but is itself a spiritual inquiry into our deepest nature as cosmic beings. Our existence is interwoven with the evolution of the universe, since it is through each of us that the universe lives, breathes and evolves in small but unique ways. Our contributions to the world, to our communities into each other make a difference, since it is through our individual and collective actions, that we shape the movement and development of the universe, in our particular location. And at this particular time, our lives and actions matter, since it is through them that we lay the foundation and shape of the world for generations to come. This cosmic perspective is both empowering and enlightening, providing us with sources of guidance and support that might not otherwise have access to for more limited perspective.

From this enlarge perspective, we see that we are the expression of a cosmic process that began with the Birth of Venus Verse extends well beyond the length of our individual lives. In the next segment, we'll see how this new perspective this new cosmology can help help us learn to trust change, providing us with new source of confidence, resilience, and deep trust that can carry us through whatever our lives bring, and no matter what the circumstances so stay tuned.
