I recently wrote a reliigion based on fact and evidence which tries to draw awe and wonder from the vastness of the cosmos. Realizing humanity's place in the universe, or realization, can be achieved in many different ways. Below I list seven ways in which this feeling of realization can be achieved.

1. Realization in where we are in the universe, and that there are a huge number of other places in the universe completely alien to us.
2. Realization that we are not alone, and extraterrestrial creatures would regard as just as odd as we regard them.
3. Realization that the universe is not orderly, but random, and that this only makes it more beautiful.
4. Realization that the chance of us existing is extremely small, although we came to be.
5. Realization that each of our personalities are completely unique and we are all bonded together by being human but also separated by DNA, which is sacred.
6. Realization that the colonization of Earth and the buildings are equally as beautiful as life since they are created by life. This is also realizing that there are civilizations like ours on other planets, but yet extremely different.
7. These together may not seem so powerful, but realization is the word not discovery, it takes a much deeper sense of meaning then simply reading these.



1.To understand where we are in the universe, the person has to be presented the vastness of the universe in multiple ways. The person must understand the size of the cosmos in relation to the rise of our planet. Readings of Sagan’s books and other astroneners will help them understand this concept. The person will bep resented a number of objects that scale to sized of plantes when in relation to eachother. The person will be presented maps of our solar system, which is tiny in itself, and maps of the galaxy, which is dwarfed by the vastness of the universe.

2.To understand this concept, the person has to learn more about evolution. The person must understand that humans might look entirely different if not for a very simple error in evolution. The person will be put through complex evolution stimulations in which we will show how creatures from another planet may look or how humans may have appeared to look. Understanding this will open the person up to the beauty and unpredictability of life .

3. This concept is closely related to the first concept, but in its nature is different. People must understand that Earth may look normal to us, but if we did not originate here it would look odd. The person will be presented pictures from the hubble telescope, and realize that the universe is controlled by the blind forces of nature and light is scarce, while darkness is imminent. The person seeing pictures on the Hubble telescope will help them see how the many different clusters in the universe do not have any order. This helps the person understand that the universe is not only huge, but without order and cannot be fully conceived of by any mind.

4. This concept is difficult to achieve by looking only at the tiny percent chance of us existing as we are, but instead through more analogical methods. These analogical methods would consist mostly of going “back in time”, and realizing that there are numerous events that if not having occurred would result in us not existing it all. Understanding this would help the person understand the beauty and sacredness of the individual.

5.Achieving this is a rather large part of realization. To understand this the person will learn about genetics, and how different genetics may make up all of the qualities that a person will have. The person has to understand that personalities and genetic codes can never be created again once they have died, and will realize that uploading, or preserving a person’s genetic code, is a vital practice.

6.This is one of the concepts of realization that some might seem as odd, but it is definitely important. To understand the beauty of our civilization, the people must be presented virtual civilizations which are different from ours in every which way. After understanding that there are civilizations like ours in the universe, the person must to begin to view our civilization in a perspective of someone who never lived on Earth before. The person will begin to see have awe and wonder as our civilization, which is vital to realization.

7.This is the last and final part of achieving Realization. The person must bring it all together and find the deeper meaning. For the final step, nobody but the person can decide whether to take the final step and bridge the gap to realization.
