The Space of Duality
The Human Brain and Universe are alike — two parts of an equal puzzle
Original size 800x842
We are born of stardust
But the connection is more than mere material. It is a mirroring. Within the dark cradle of our skulls rests a universe of its own: 86 billion neurons, a map echoing the glittering web of 100 billion galaxies. One, a network of consciousness. The other, a lattice of cosmic matter. The same pattern, written at two vastly different scales.This is our first duality: the microcosm and the macrocosm, eternally reflecting.
Both realms speak in a language of silent energy. In the brain: a lightning storm of electrical impulses, fleeting signals across synaptic clefts. In the cosmos: the ancient travel of photons, messages from suns long dead, crossing the voids between stars.
This is the second duality: communication across inner and outer emptiness
And what of the darkness? In the universe, it is unseen, yet unknown. In the mind, it is unconscious, yet hidden. We are mysteries to ourselves, within and without.
The third duality: the known, forever islands in a vast ocean of the unknown
