Stardust

        If a star could sprinkle some dust, what would be the effect? You might think you'd have to 'duck' or worry as to whether the effects might be negative, it certainly isn't a thought that comes to mind. With all the subjects in the world, it may not even be on a list. The question that comes to mind is or may be "so what?" because the distance of the stars makes the question rather laughable. Yet what if that stardust could actually reach earth? What if it had a beam or frequency which could travel millions of miles? What then? Again, who would care?

        When new ideas are presented by individuals or groups, throughout time they are met with skepticism and disbelief. Some perfectly accurate discoveries are never accepted and others are accepted many centuries later. When a new idea is presented to you, what is your reaction? Is it immediate withdrawal, is it thought provoking or is there a neutral response? Perhaps our reactions are based on how we feel the new information may affect us. Sometimes this is understandable as scientific discoveries are not interesting to those who are not scientifically oriented. However, if those discoveries become part of life after it has been incorporated to a more common acceptance, then it is taken as another new aspect of life.

        Too often we do not advance in our thinking because we are locked in to present day thoughts. If our technology expands quickly as it is doing in this century, then we are somewhat more open to new ideas and things. This is true if these new things are objects which can improve our lives. When we approach intangible newness it is much more difficult. It cannot be readily seen or readily accepted on a mass basis. There are always in each generation those individuals who can at least explore new thought and new adventures and these people are the forerunners of that which will be used in the future.

        Is there stardust? Of course. Can you feel it? No. Do you need to know about it? Not at this time. However, the purpose of presenting it is to open a window of possibilities, to stir the imagination, to perhaps cause wonder. Mankind does not stay at one place of thought. Slowly, for the most part, but sometimes quickly, there is always advancement. You can be part of the moving flow of thought with the simple openness of possibilities. Negating and doubting everything new too quickly is to slow the development of new thought and thought which can be added to by you. Every once in awhile, check and see if your thinking is up to date. See if you have accepted or even looked at a new thought or possibility. Questioning leads to further thought and new discoveries. Let your mind grow and expand with the stars.
