Bringing the Overview Effect to the Masses via Virtual Reality

Bringing the Overview Effect to the Masses Via Virtual Reality

On February 5th, 1971, Edgar Mitchell became the sixth person to walk on the lunar surface. While this experience in itself would no doubt be transformative, on the journey home from the Moon Mitchell’s view of the heavens delivered a truly spiritual epiphany – that humanity is all one:

As we were rotating I saw the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and a 360 degree panorama of the heavens. The magnificence of all of this – what this triggered, in the ancient Sanskrit, is called c. It means that you see things with your senses the way they are, but you experience them viscerally and internally as a unity and a one-ness, accompanied by ecstasy.

All matter in our universe is created in star systems. And so the matter in my body, and the matter in the spacecraft, and the matter in my partner’s bodies, was the product of stars. We are star-dust, and we’re all one in that sense.
