On his way back to Earth after his pioneering moonwalk, Apollo 14 astronaut and IONS founder, Dr. Edgar Mitchell had a life-changing experience.
Peering out the window of his space capsule — with a 360-degree panoramic view of the stars, the moon, our planet, and the vastness of the cosmos — he suddenly experienced a deep sense of interconnection, a powerful feeling that he was an intrinsic part of everything he was observing.
It was an experience unlike anything Dr. Mitchell had encountered previously in his life and he described it as, “a sudden explosion of awareness, a profound sense of interconnection, an epiphany.” It transformed his perception, not only of the Earth, but of himself, humanity, and of humanity’s potential.
And it changed his life.
