anyone feel lost, when looking up at the stars?

Answer 1

Gazing at the stars always makes me feel small.It humbles me.

Answer 2

I remember that feeling...everything seems so far away and cold. That is because when we're kids, we're taught, oh "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and other 'endearing' songs that trivialize the world around us. The constellation isn't a bunch of cute little puffy-faced stars with smiley faces on them. They're far far away and distant and emotionless.


I like space. I used to be fascinated and saved huge bucks to buy myself telescopes when I was younger. I saw the crater-ful surface of the moon when on campus and I thought, "wow" but I wasn't fascinated to the level of astronomers at heart. It was a passing fancy and interest for me.

My past religiosity and belief in a warm and good god could never reconcile the contrast to the emotionlessness, eonlessness, and even sometimes terrible dark sky.

When I let go of the expectations of a certain "Being" fashioned in human mind and my mind, I am free.

I look up at the stars and I feel no despair or emptiness. No loneliness, no sense of lost, no awe, no fear, no emotion-lessness. Only a few seconds would I entertain the sky and back to my activities down below! On with life!!

Answer 3

When looking up at the stars, I feel that I am just a small part of a greater plan. How can we stand here on this rock we call earth and think that we are the master of our own destiny? There is more to this life that we live than we can even fathom in our minds.
Also looking up at the stars relaxes me, giving me a sense of peace of mind, soul and spirit.

Answer 4

Not me! I know exactly where I am and where I'm going. When I look up at the stars I feel secure. When I look to the stars I see the distant past here and now, I see what was millions of years ago. But here I am, alive and travelling a great journey to a place beyond that vast universe of stars.
I feel secure when I look up at the stars.

Answer 5

COSMOLOGY
I call your feeling of being "lost" "The Argument from Animalism" in my book, because Kant immortalized the idea when he said (and it's on his headstone) that the "starry heavens" diminished his sense of his animal nature. He meant the heavens made him feel small.
We "feel" our animal nature, and know that, in the end, we are alone as individuals because no one can share the identical space with us and know us and feel us as we know and feel ourselves. I guess that is lonely. I have not felt it in years. I revel in my "animal nature."
I share the following sentiment, instead.
Loren Eisely * had a wonderful view of what it meant to the first man to look at the heavens and relate it his own being, which is called cosmology:
"For the first time in four billion years a living creature had contemplated himself and heard with a sudden, unaccountable lonliness, the whisper of the wind in the night reeds. Perhaps he knew, there in the grass by the chill waters, that he had before him an immense journey. Perhaps that same forboding still troubles the hearts of those who walk out of a crowded room and stare with relief into the abyss of space so long as there is a star to be seen twinkling across those miles of emptiness."

In a world where so much pessimism makes so many despise living in a civilization they sometimes think is mad, it should be a RELIEF to look up and know that some things never change, relatively speaking. It should be a relief to feel one's animal nature and know that it, alone, is the source of his consciousness.
You will not feel what you feel if you learn to live in your animal body, and comprehend that it is the existence you have been given and that that existence is good, that it is a virtue to have the mind of "the rational" animal, I wish you success in finding that comprehension.
