The Solar Perspective

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                 The gist of the "solar" perspective is that the true measure of human progress is the degree to which we come to understand and accept our true place in the universe.  The concept of solar man represents our ultimate realization and acceptance of our true nature.  One thing humanity absolutely is, beyond denial, is part of the solar system.  Sol is our home star, the solar system our home base.  Earth is the womb in which we have been born.  Most of us cleave our loyalties to absurdly small sub-units of the planet.

 

            The often pettiness of democratic politics tends to tarnish the wonder of it all.  The epoch-proclaiming grandeur of "novus ordo seclorum," which adorns the reverse of the great seal of the United States, declares "a new order of the ages (is born)".  The tiresome verbiage of petty politicos melts before the power of such words like a million snowflakes evaporating under a blazing sun.  How can we get away from the pettiness and back to the grandeur?

 

            For over two hundred years, the "new order of the ages" has grown not only in power, but in depth.  Democracy today is closer to reality, closer to true public sovereignty, than ever before.  The U.S. Constitution began with the grammatical error of forming a "more perfect union".  A perfect union is an absolute, like a full glass of water, it cannot become more perfect or more full.  But, if we go along with the imperfect grammar, then the union since has become more perfect still.  We guarantee more rights to more people than ever before.
