introduction. As a kid, I spent far too many nights lying atop my mother's garage with arms folded behind my head. I'd stare into the starry sky, consumed by my childhood fantasies of becoming a starship captain who would boldly go into that endless black seeking new life and new civilizations. Yet it was more than just growing up, a product of pop culture and the science fiction of the 19 sixties and seventies that fired my curiosities. Something deep inside told me that we were not alone in this infinite stretch of expanding universe, and I longed to know the answers to the age old questions of Why am I here and where do I come from? Those questions were probably not as articulated in my mind as they seem when I recount them here and now. But they gnawed at me just the same on the same primordial, undefined level of my genetic makeup. Within every cognitive, rational, human being lies that nebulous, unanswered haze that rises to the surface every so often yearning toe have answers. And yet most of our lives we shamble through the years wholly unaware that those desires smolder. Deep down inside, we subconsciously suppress any wild, weird notions that there just might be answers beyond the realm of what we think we already know and accept. Human beings walk around this world feeling absolutely unconnected to the greater world and universe around them. As a race, we've for gotten how to make this connective ity. And this ties into all aspects of how we perceive ourselves, our loved ones, our politics, our jobs, our careers are deities are personal spirituality, ease and our place in the greater order of things.
