— DR. BASHIR. THE QUICKENING. Stardate Not Given

Today’s space voyagers weren’t the first to gaze at the stars and see them as worlds like our own, complete unto themselves, teeming with other lives, other possibilities.

The writings of ancient Hindus hint at infinite worlds beyond our own, just as that tradition embraces the idea of countless lives beyond this present one—all of which are part of some grand Cosmic Plan designed to refine our souls to the point of perfection.

Points of light or points in our lives—these concepts symbolize what lies ahead for each of us. They represent a future we can only dimly imagine, yet which holds such vast possibilities that any direction opens up whole new worlds to explore, and even the faintest glimmer can illumine our spiritual path.

To feel the beckoning of those lights and lives is to accept the responsibility of existence. It is to acknowledge that we are ready to continue our Inner Voyage, to experience new things; to learn, grow… become.

We have done well to come this far, through times of happiness and sadness, joy and pain, ignorance and self-discovery. All we know for sure is that there will be more of each. And that we will be better for it.

I accept the challenge of the rest of my life. The strength to move bravely and boldly into my own future is all around me, and within me.
