Here’s an article based on an interview with an astronaut who spent months in space, at the International Space Station. His observations of concrete reality led him to a different perspective about what we need to be doing in order to continue to flourish in our lives. This time, the epilogue – via my clairaudient spouse and D – is actually from Gaia, Mother Earth herself.

NASA astronaut who watched Earth from space
for 178 days realized humanity is ‘living a lie’
Ron Garan explained what the Earth looked like from
space and his understanding has our mind-blown.
September 4, 2024
Geologists and researchers have long studied Earth’s unique features, offering insights into how humanity can improve living conditions. Most of their findings emphasize the importance of protecting our planet and promoting sustainability. But while Earth’s challenges are obvious to those who study it closely, astronauts see things from a much broader perspective.
Former NASA astronaut Ron Garan, in an interview with Big Think, shared powerful insights from his view of Earth from space — one that offered a fresh perspective on the planet’s challenges.
Garan’s observations from space shifted the usual way we think about Earth. He began by highlighting that the view of the Earth from space makes things “undeniably clear.” What he mentioned next had people surprised.
The former astronaut pointed out that problems such as deforestation, global warming, and climate change, which are seen as profoundly dangerous issues, are just “symptoms” of an underlying root problem. Garan added that there is something bigger that humans don’t see that needs worrying.
Garan described the striking beauty and stark reality he witnessed from space. He exclaimed …
“When I looked out the window of the
International Space Station, I saw the
paparazzi-like flashes of lightning storms.
I saw dancing curtains of auroras that
seemed so close it was as if we could
reach out and touch them.”
However, while Garan observed some pretty magical visuals, he also noticed something concerning. The astronaut remarked. It was this very view that left him distressed.
“I saw the unbelievable thinness of our
planet’s atmosphere. That ‘paper-
thin’ atmosphere is all that stands
between humanity and disaster.”
Garan was troubled by how easily this fact is overshadowed by economic priorities. He said …
“I saw an iridescent biosphere teeming with
life. I didn’t see the economy. But since our
human-made systems treat everything, in-
cluding the very life-support systems of our
planet, as the wholly owned subsidiary of
the global economy, it’s obvious from the
vantage point of space that we’re living a lie.”
According to Garan, humanity’s inability to see the bigger picture limits our potential to solve the planet’s real problems. He shared the concept of the “overview effect,” something many astronauts feel after they visit space. The astronaut explained …
“It describes the shift that astronauts
have when they see the planet hanging
in the blackness of space. There’s
this light bulb that pops up where
they realize how interconnected
and interdependent we all are.”
He added that while most people view Earth as a whole and consider the rest of the space as “others,” that’s not the case. He exclaimed …
“There is no such thing as them. There’s only us.”
Garan concluded …
“When we can evolve beyond a two-dimensional
us versus them mindset, and embrace the true
multi-dimensional reality of the universe that
we live in, that’s when we’re going to no longer
be floating in darkness, we’re going to leave the
cave, and it’s a future that we would all want
to be a part of. That’s our true calling.”

I’ll begin directly with Gaia’s inputs. She seemed eager to share her thoughts – growing from the astronaut’s observations and thoughts. When Trina became clairaudient, I asked how I might address this new entity, which introduced itself a “the deva of our site” … as a he or she? The response was “as a ‘they’ because on this side we all connect.” I asked if I might use the letter “D”, for deva, and was told that was fine. Accordingly, I’ve become accustomed to D’s self-references always as “we.” You’ll see that in Gaia’s comments, as well. I’ll now simply take dictation.
”The view from space of a beautiful, green, blue and white marble surrounded by black shows Earth as everything is interconnected. And that is how we see your precious planet, Earth. It is a fallacy that anything is more important than the health of your planet.
“To put it in blunt terms, without a healthy planet there can be no life.
“We see beautiful possibilities of support of Planet Earth. We see beautiful possibilities of organizations giving up greed and working toward win-win.
“Our wish for each of you is one-ness to all. And when we say “all” we mean all peoples, all critters, all water, all land. No one of those elements is any more important than another. We are asking each of you who read this to live in a manner that protects all, and values all. The goal, as we see it: all is one.
“For each and every activity in which you engage, please think about what the impact of that activity is on Earth, be it driving, be it food, be it travel, be it clothing, be it gossip, be it ignoring your own behavior, ignoring people who have less and need help. To often, individuals go through life on what we call ‘autopilot.’ They do all their daily activities in a numbed state. What we are asking is that you become extremely aware of your own behaviors, and make conscious choices.”
With my background as an architect, I relate better to the concrete, physical realities, I asked Gaia for examples of impact on driving, food, etc. She said that I already have provided many … in past blogs, in the free on-line book, and in the ten 1-minute “how to” videos that are already on our web site.
