within my neurons

"multiple personality disorder - a psychological disorder where a person possesses more than one developed personality" - don't we all?

Come take a dive into the deep end of my head

*unplugged* - when used in an email or letter or any writings of sorts, it means that it's not proofread or edited. So any grammatical or spelling errors.. or sentences or words that doesn't seem to make sense, should be deciphered or ignored - whichever is easier to do.

Our address in the universe

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

I'm currently reading a book called, 'You are Here', by Christopher Potter.

I want to know more about what scientists think about where we are and our place on this insignificantly tiny earth amongst the ever expanding universe, among other awe-inspiring, mind-boggling things.

One interesting 'fact' I learnt from this book, is our address in relation to the universe. :D It is :

(the usual address),
Singapore,
South East Asia,
The Earth, The Solar System,
Orion Arm, The Milky Way,
The Local Group, Virgo supercluster.
The Expanding Universe
& Allahu'alam.

*The last two lines I added myself.

Amazing isn't it. How tiny-puny-minute, tinier than a speck of dust, we are when compared to the other creations of God in the whole indescribably large universe - and yet, how close God is to every single one of us.

NOW, verily, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him: for We are closer to him than his neck-vein.
Al Quran, Al Qaf 50:16


Subhanallah.
