Human consciousness is a self-similar reflection of the day-night cycle of Earth. The active conscious mind, just like the Sun, outshines all subconscious influences. Those subconscious influences are always present, however, just as the infinitude of stars are always in the sky, whether we can see them or not. When sleep approaches, the conscious mind slips below the horizon, and the variegated influence of a distributed infinity dominates.

Think of the mind as having a primary locus (consciousness) with an infinitude of secondary, subconscious influencers, of varying magnitude.

All is one; your mind reflects the consciousness of every star (each a sentient collective) whose light touches it.

A corollary to this is that you as an sentient entity, are present in the minds of everyone you know as a subconscious influencer. All of humanity is linked in this way because we are all one.

Each focal point of consciousness is the universe experiencing itself from that unique perspective.

Why do we spend so much money researching the cosmos when there's so many problems on earth?
How could the stars possibly help humanity solve world hunger and energy needs when we're over 100 years from getting any reasonable results (ex: "Fusion power")
