This this realization of unity with the universe means that we are just a part of the chain of the cause and effect. We are not some separate free agents, free from other processes of the universe, so there is no free will and there is no self/I/you.
Therefore, we are literally eternal. Our bodies are made up of material that was once at the the center of stars or created at the big bang.
It gives us freedom from the notions of inherent "good or evil". "Good and evil" are as arbitrary as the behavior of our immune systems and have no real/ultimate meaning.
It may give us freedom from guilt, regrets, jealousy, desires, attachment etc.
Yes that is nice but it makes no difference. It might seem like a significant discovery but it is not. It means nothing and we are nothing. Very simple and rather depressing to think about. We are still stuck here on earth till our doom. It does not free you from anything. You are just imagining it does.

i don't believe our bodies are made up of material from that stuff.

Nothing matter if loose the sense of self/ego/I. Nothing would depress you if you let go of the ego/I.

Yeah you are wrong to think you are in charge of all our emotions. Since I already figured this out and it is really depressing.

Suffering will end if you let go of craving, attachment and aversion.

science says we are made of stardust so we come from the stars. I like learning about the stars. Should check out stephan hawkings.
