Where is the higher place?
We are on a ball of rock suspended in space, that goes round a star, of which there are 400 billion in this galaxy alone, and there are at least 200 billion galaxies (up to 2 trillion) in the observable universe.
We are but a tiny speck among the trillions of planets.
Carl Sagan's pale blue dot is the most profound thing I think we have ever seen. The Earth, a tiny dot, captured on a sunbeam in a photo taken by a probe that that passed through much of our solar system. Gives us an instant perspective.
Saw a wonderful video recently that I've linked that I think similarly captures our place in this existence. It's a journey facing backwards from Earth to the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest galaxy to our own Milky way (2.4 million light years away), with the camera staying fixed on Earth until you can see it no more, the same with the Milky Way. Growing up I (and most of us) viewed the solar system as this vast thing. And yet, as the video shows, it's a star with a few (8) balls going round it, and as the camera travels on you pass more of them, thousands more solar systems, ultimately billions more, on this galaxy alone, and the camera then exits the Milky Way, it becomes smaller, the camera pans round and you see galaxies everywhere, each with billions of solar systems.
I'd like to think there is something more, or something "higher" as you put it. But when you grasp where we are, a speck among trillions of others, you soon start to think, it ain't about us. As Galileo said those centuries ago, we ain't the centre.
