From the Moon
there are potentially many physical resources to be mined of great benefit to
humans on Earth, but there is one “resource” we propose even greater. A
resource that is yet untapped and with untold potential. A singular resource
that will affect human existence in ways beyond anything yet experienced as a
planet. This resource is the Earth itself - not as most humans know it - but
rather the Earth as is experienced from space, to see Earth from the moon.
"We went
to explore the Moon, and in fact discovered the Earth."--Gene
Cernan, Apollo 10 & 17
The human story
as many commonly know and tell it, dwells fully upon this one beautiful blue
and white sphere - a brilliant floating marble that from the Moon can be
completely blocked out and removed from one’s vision by the simple gesture of
holding a thumb over it. A gesture that obstructs every problem one has ever
had as well as every thing one has ever loved. Seeing the Earth in this
precious state humbly shifts thought. This effect, to which most astronauts and
space explorers have attested, is powerful enough to affect one’s awareness of
the now and inspire to new thought of the future. These few testify to the brilliant
effect the observation had on their life and further believe it can broaden the
perspective of all who share in it.
We propose the
implementation of an establishment on the Moon at which to gather Earth
Inhabitants to observe Earth and expand in the experience of seeing the planet
for what it truly is – this is the O.N.E. – Observatory for Navigating Expansion.
Sited on perimeter suspension rings within the Tycho Crater, the O.N.E. is a building
that rotates and moves to align with and focus on the Earth and other areas of
Universal interest, providing a place for the observation, discussion and new
awareness of the Universe and our place in it. The facility allows alignment
with a vision based within the experience of taking in the transcendency of
Earth in Space and Beyond – peace, joy, love, freedom, abundance – we are all
ONE.
We believe
humans have only the limitations that they create and from the widened
perspective of the O.N.E. we hope to further awareness of and inspire action
upon the infinite potential that exists in the Universe. The O.N.E. is based on
the premise of being able to see what has not been previously seen or experienced
and then imparting the awareness gained, from one human to another ultimately engaging
all as one.
If humans are to
travel even greater distance in expansion – physically, spiritually,
intellectually - all must become one, as the Earth is seen from a
quarter-million miles away on the Moon. The O.N.E. provides this opportunity. Without
boundaries or divisions the potency of the human species is yet untold and
indeed infinite. The Universe is for all to expand into and upon. What will you
do next?
“Imagine
all the people, sharing all the world.” --John Lennon
