Today, I want to nar\u00adrow our scope, and con\u00adsid\u00ader the his\u00adto\u00adry of the Unit\u00aded States, with a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar focus upon the eco\u00adnom\u00adic and polit\u00adi\u00adcal his\u00adto\u00adry of the Amer\u00adi\u00adca as framed by the influ\u00adence or indi\u00adca\u00adtions of two plan\u00ade\u00adtary cycles, Plu\u00adto and Neptune.<\/p>\n<p>I have spo\u00adken or writ\u00adten numer\u00adous times, (and you can search on my blog for those pre\u00advi\u00adous obser\u00adva\u00adtions), com\u00adment\u00ading on the impor\u00adtance of Plu\u00adto and Nep\u00adtune in the chart of the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span>, and how their cycle around the chart of the Unit\u00aded States can help us to frame peri\u00adods in <span class=\"caps\">US<\/span> his\u00adto\u00adry, as we con\u00adsid\u00ader the broad arc of its jour\u00adney since 1776.

Plu\u00adto is the Ris\u00ading plan\u00adet in the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span> chart and is locat\u00aded in the sec\u00adond house of the chart, which is the house of Val\u00adue. Remem\u00adber that the Ener\u00adgy-Sub\u00adstance of what I call \u201cThe One\u201d is the source of all Val\u00adue, and this root val\u00adue is the Divine or Uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Love of the One, and it is this Ener\u00adgy-Form that is behind every\u00adthing and every\u00adone. This Divine Light is shaped and formed into def\u00adi\u00adnite, dis\u00adcrete vehi\u00adcles of man\u00adi\u00adfes\u00adta\u00adtion, that are cir\u00adcum\u00adscribed and delim\u00adit\u00aded from oth\u00ader ener\u00adgy-forms by the pow\u00ader of the Will that is with\u00adin each mon\u00adad of Cre\u00adation. It is those mon\u00adads or sparks of the Divine which are the innu\u00admer\u00adable vehi\u00adcles of self-real\u00adiza\u00adtion that form the cos\u00admos. For us in our Solar Sys\u00adtem, this Avatar of the Will of the One is Plu\u00adto. As I have pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly indi\u00adcat\u00aded, the Pow\u00ader of the Will is the Cre\u00adator at work through all of the ener\u00adgy-forms that make up Cre\u00adation, includ\u00ading us humans, and that sin\u00adgu\u00adlar spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal pow\u00ader man\u00adi\u00adfests in what we should under\u00adstand is the pri\u00admal source for what makes Cre\u00adation unfold and become, which is the mag\u00adis\u00adte\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal mys\u00adtery of \u201ccom\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion\u201d, the Pow\u00ader of Alchemy.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the entire\u00adty of Cre\u00adation is formed by the one Sub\u00adstance-Ener\u00adgy, Divine Love. Cre\u00adation is the Invo\u00adlu\u00adtion of Spir\u00adit into Mat\u00adter Forms, which equal\u00adly brings about the Evo\u00adlu\u00adtion of Spir\u00adit through Mat\u00adter Forms by the infi\u00adnite series of com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions and trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions, what we see as births, deaths, and rebirths, and which I like to call the dance of Spir\u00adit through Mat\u00adter Forms. Whether it is by atoms com\u00adbin\u00ading with atoms to form larg\u00ader atoms, mol\u00ade\u00adcules with mol\u00ade\u00adcules, organ\u00adisms with organ\u00adisms, (like we do), on up to the plan\u00adets, stars, and galax\u00adies, what we see as the Dance of Spir\u00adit through forms of real\u00adiza\u00adtion is that the whole of Cre\u00adation is made by the Pro\u00adtean Pow\u00ader of Alche\u00admy, which is the sub\u00adlime mys\u00adtery of Spir\u00adit mov\u00ading through innu\u00admer\u00adable com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions and trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions of Spir\u00adit-Mat\u00adter&nbsp;Forms.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for us humans, and espe\u00adcial\u00adly for the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span>, we were estab\u00adlished in an agree\u00adment to be a self-gov\u00adern\u00ading soci\u00adety, which meant that we would be behold\u00aden to no King, lords or mas\u00adters, that instead in the Unit\u00aded States we would the sub\u00adjects of the law, laws which we made and agreed to gov\u00adern our soci\u00adety. That instead of being sub\u00adjects of a monarch or lord, we formed our union so that we might be self-mas\u00adter\u00adful, and so by this rule of law we formed our com\u00adpacts, part\u00adner\u00adships, joint ven\u00adtures, enter\u00adpris\u00ades, com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties, com\u00adpa\u00adnies and our government.<\/p>\n<p>What this also means is that our val\u00adue, our strength, is made or forged by the alche\u00admy of our diver\u00adsi\u00adty of cit\u00adi\u00adzens, of our eth\u00adnic\u00adi\u00adties and creeds, of cul\u00adtures and peo\u00adple from around the world. Our val\u00adue is not sourced by our phys\u00adi\u00adcal prop\u00ader\u00adty. No, the rad\u00adi\u00adcal or root source of our true val\u00adue is forged by \u201cwe the peo\u00adple\u201d, who cre\u00adate all our val\u00adues by these alchem\u00adi\u00adcal com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions with one another.<\/p>\n<p>For the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span>, as a covenant cre\u00adation, we agreed to form a union so that we would sup\u00adport one anoth\u00ader, so that we might be free to live and grow and real\u00adize our hap\u00adpi\u00adness, (and here \u201chap\u00adpi\u00adness\u201d means our self-ful\u00adfill\u00adments), through join\u00ading togeth\u00ader in self-deter\u00admined com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions; we would be freer to be our\u00adselves by sup\u00adport\u00ading one anoth\u00ader, and we each will become who we are by our unions with one another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nep\u00adtune<br>\n<\/strong>The plan\u00adet Nep\u00adtune is also very promi\u00adnent for the Unit\u00aded States, as it is the upper\u00admost plan\u00adet in the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span> chart. As much as Plu\u00adto is the Avatar of com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion, Nep\u00adtune is the Avatar of Divine Love, which is the Divine Light that is the Ener\u00adgy-Sub\u00adstance that forms the whole of Cre\u00adation. Nep\u00adtune in any chart is the prin\u00adci\u00adple of the spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal vision and dream of that being or enti\u00adty, the true nature of its spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal self. For Amer\u00adi\u00adca, the plan\u00adet Nep\u00adtune is in Vir\u00adgo and is locat\u00aded in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> house, which is the realm that holds the Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal, Reli\u00adgious, Sci\u00aden\u00adtif\u00adic and Cul\u00adtur\u00adal sto\u00adries or truths that frame the under\u00adstand\u00ading of the Unit\u00aded States.<\/p>\n<p>The fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal \u201ctruth\u201d or sto\u00adry of Amer\u00adi\u00adca is that we are a \u201ccovenant nation\u201d, formed as a com\u00adpact of choice, and we are joined in an ongo\u00ading endeav\u00ador to con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly seek to forge a more per\u00adfect (Vir\u00adgo) union, as we strive to cre\u00adate and pre\u00adserve a soci\u00adety where we may each secure for our\u00adselves and for one anoth\u00ader, \u201cour life, lib\u00ader\u00adty and the pur\u00adsuit of hap\u00adpi\u00adness\u201d. This dream of Amer\u00adi\u00adca is made pos\u00adsi\u00adble through our com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions with one another.<\/p>\n<p>Most impor\u00adtant\u00adly, the true mean\u00ading of that phrase, \u201cthe pur\u00adsuit of hap\u00adpi\u00adness\u201d, was that our founders under\u00adstood \u201chap\u00adpi\u00adness\u201d to be self-ful\u00adfill\u00adment, so that the self-real\u00adiza\u00adtion of each mem\u00adber of our soci\u00adety would be to our mutu\u00adal ben\u00ade\u00adfit, and that we would be the means for one another\u2019s dreams to come true. To gov\u00adern these many com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions with one anoth\u00ader, to secure our lives and ful\u00adfill\u00adment, we agreed to be formed, guid\u00aded and pro\u00adtect\u00aded by the laws we made to sup\u00adport and pro\u00adtect one anoth\u00ader. So, it is quite fit\u00adting that Nep\u00adtune is in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> house, which rules Truth and&nbsp;Law.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex\u00adis de Tocqueville<\/strong><br>\nOne of the most extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary observers of our \u201cexper\u00adi\u00adment\u201d in democ\u00adra\u00adcy and self-gov\u00adern\u00adment was Alex\u00adis de Toc\u00adqueville, and his analy\u00adses and warn\u00adings about our sys\u00adtem ring true to this very day. I firm\u00adly believe that they can help us under\u00adstand how and why we find our\u00adselves at the cross\u00adroads of where we are today. (Pub\u00adlished in&nbsp;1835)<\/p>\n<p>The prin\u00adci\u00adpal and defin\u00ading fea\u00adture of the Unit\u00aded States he not\u00aded was this, that what is essen\u00adtial to a self-gov\u00adern\u00ading, demo\u00adc\u00adra\u00adt\u00adic sys\u00adtem is made pos\u00adsi\u00adble by an inte\u00adgral bal\u00adance of indi\u00advid\u00adual free\u00addom and social respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty. De Toc\u00adqueville saw and under\u00adstood that you can only have the true expe\u00adri\u00adence of free\u00addom when you equal\u00adly assume and ful\u00adfill your respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties. In oth\u00ader words, indi\u00advid\u00adual free\u00addom and social respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty are nec\u00ades\u00adsary to one anoth\u00ader, and only when they are found in this rec\u00adi\u00adp\u00adro\u00adcal rela\u00adtion\u00adship can you cre\u00adate a tru\u00adly free society.<\/p>\n<p>He observed that Amer\u00adi\u00adcans formed their soci\u00adety organ\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly, from the local lev\u00adel on up through a range of vol\u00adun\u00adtary orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions of mutu\u00adal help and sup\u00adport, both sec\u00adu\u00adlar and sec\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan, in realms civ\u00adil and reli\u00adgious. Rather than a top-down order\u00ading of Regal or Author\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan con\u00adtrol imposed by fiat or Divine Right, the peo\u00adple of Amer\u00adi\u00adca assem\u00adbled for self-gov\u00ader\u00adnance because they had to. The struc\u00adture of pow\u00ader was not \u201ctop down\u201d, pow\u00ader and author\u00adi\u00adty rose up from the assem\u00adblies of the people.<\/p>\n<p>In order to pro\u00advide for one anoth\u00ader, we agreed to pre\u00adserve our self-deter\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtion by giv\u00ading up some \u201cfree\u00addom\u201d for the good of the whole, to trust in that larg\u00ader whole, to our asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions and gov\u00adern\u00ading bod\u00adies as the expres\u00adsion of our col\u00adlec\u00adtive will, and that this would be the very means to equal\u00adly ensure our indi\u00advid\u00adual free\u00addoms too. This was new, this was rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion\u00adary, the source of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan pow\u00ader was Alchem\u00adi\u00adcal, with peo\u00adple gov\u00adern\u00ading them\u00adselves voluntarily.<\/p>\n<p>Toc\u00adqueville also not\u00aded, \u201c\u2026that when cit\u00adi\u00adzens are all almost equal, it becomes dif\u00adfi\u00adcult for them to defend their inde\u00adpen\u00addence against the aggres\u00adsions of pow\u00ader. As none of them are strong enough to fight alone with advan\u00adtage, the only guar\u00adan\u00adtee of lib\u00ader\u00adty is for every\u00adone to com\u00adbine forces.\u201d The cit\u00adi\u00adzens of Amer\u00adi\u00adca agreed to form their var\u00adi\u00adous lev\u00adels of civ\u00adil soci\u00adety for their mutu\u00adal ben\u00ade\u00adfit, to meet one another\u2019s needs and there\u00adby pro\u00adtect their freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>De Toc\u00adqueville also observed, and this is essen\u00adtial for under\u00adstand\u00ading the nature of the crises we face now, that the most crit\u00adi\u00adcal ele\u00adment of our self-gov\u00ader\u00adnance would require this bal\u00adance of Indi\u00advid\u00adual Free\u00addom and Social Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty, and that it could only work if there was a more or less equi\u00adtable dis\u00adtri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion of the val\u00adue and wealth with\u00adin our society.<\/p>\n<p>For De Toc\u00adqueville, the strength of Amer\u00adi\u00adca was to be found\u00aded in its vibrant social mobil\u00adi\u00adty, (that in our alchemic or com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions we have the inher\u00adent poten\u00adtial to become more than we are), and unlike the sta\u00adt\u00adic struc\u00adtures of nobil\u00adi\u00adty, priv\u00adi\u00adlege and class in Europe, our dynam\u00adic social mobil\u00adi\u00adty would pre\u00advent a per\u00adma\u00adnent hier\u00adar\u00adchy of pow\u00ader and wealth from becom\u00ading estab\u00adlished. Toc\u00adqueville observed that if that equi\u00adtable order were to be undone, that this would be the begin\u00adning of the end of true democ\u00adra\u00adcy here, (and I would argue anywhere).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where are we&nbsp;today?<\/strong><br>\nBut today in the Unit\u00aded States, we are more unequal and divid\u00aded by wealth than we have ever been in our his\u00adto\u00adry. At the present time, the top 1 to 2 per\u00adcent of the nation has man\u00adaged to obtain and con\u00adtrol the vast major\u00adi\u00adty of the wealth of the nation, and this fact is not sus\u00adtain\u00adable for a tru\u00adly func\u00adtion\u00adal democ\u00adra\u00adcy nor was it inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>How did we get here, and where are we now? Today, we find, for exam\u00adple, that instead of the top income earn\u00aders mak\u00ading five times what the low\u00adest income work\u00aders make which was typ\u00adi\u00adcal in dur\u00ading the 1940\u2019s, 1950\u2019s, and 1960\u2019s, (which would mean for exam\u00adple where a top earn\u00ader would make $100,000 and that $20,000 would be for the bot\u00adtom earn\u00aders), instead we now have a gross\u00adly unequal dis\u00adtri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion of income where the top earn\u00aders make at least if not more than 400 times the bot\u00adtom per\u00adcentile, (which means that those at the top will earn $8,000,000 ver\u00adsus only $20,000 for the bot\u00adtom per\u00adcentile).
