Who Is The Spaceman?


Here is the story of how I first began to understand this
idea. It was back in the early 1970s, and I was studying
and cataloguing all of the objects out there in the
heavens, and, there were all kinds of them: bright stars,
clusters, nebulae, black holes, quasars—you name it.
This was before home computers were available, so I
was busy calculating the positions of all of these
celestial objects on a hand calculator, transforming them
from astronomical coordinates into astrological
coordinates and seeing where they fit in on the
astrological charts. Eventually, I published a book
detailing all of these points, titled: Astrophysical
Directions. This was in 1976.


The more I studied and learned about the countless
objects in space, the more I gradually realized that they
were all one form or another of stars. Not only that, but
that all of astronomy was about the birth, life, and death
of stars—all of it. These stars came into being, they
were born, they lasted so long, and finally, they died
away, in one way or another. Some of them went out
with a bang, others with a whimper—as they say. Of
course, it did not escape my notice that our lives here
on earth are very similar: that we are born, live for a
time, and then die. Moreover, every thing we do in life
begins, endures for a while, and then comes apart. The
energy that was put into any form lasts until the end of
that form and is then released. It breaks up.


The lives of the stars, and of every celestial object out
there, together with the lives of all of us here on earth,
are identical; they follow the very same pattern. Out
there, written across the heavens; down here, acted out
on earth—the same. There was nothing foreign or exotic
out there in space that was not also right here in my
own life; ‘All,’ was of the same stuff. Along with this
