About Us > Creation Story
Shortly before he died Arthur Young revealed that astrology had inspired his life work. This came to include psychopter, the mind with wings, or the Theory of Process that followed the helicopter. When the Museum of Modern Art reopened after renovation in 2005, the Bell appeared in its subway ads on November 3rd, the 100th anniversary of his birth. Now a model hovers over the main stairwell, and on the landing above visitors peer into the Plexiglass bubble wanting to know all about the fabulous "bug."
As a philosopher Arthur so out did himself, it is only now years after The Reflexive Universe and The Geometry of Meaning were published that people are sitting up and noticing. He provides a new meta-paradigm showing how purpose generates all creation. Mixing chemistry, biology, quantum physics ancient wisdom with common sense it is as uplifting as the helicopter itself. What is Enlightenment magazine listed Arthur among just thirty notables in 300 years to describe our evolving spirituality. 


I was eighteen when I first heard him declare, "Science has good news!" His wife had rented a sunny meeting room on the mezzanine of the former Plaza Hotel and arranged for a silver tea service and waiters in crisp white jackets to serve about sixty people, including my parents and me. It was one of his first public seminars. Suddenly from the back of the room a woman warbled in a raspy New England voice, "When are you going to tell them about God, Arthur?" She must have known what was coming next and couldn't contain herself. He gave in and beamed, "The gift of quantum physics, the quantum of action can restore spirituality to Darwinian Materialism." I'd never heard anything like that before, or felt such elation over an idea."The quantum of action is light, the photon and the Light," he said.
As time passed people began grasping the Theory of Process as if were a lifeline cast down from the helicopter. Greed had infected capitalism making some gorge, others hoard and many succumb in a "mud-pie mess"-- Arthur's phrase, for lack of cool air, uplifting life purposes and the simple acts of caring, communicating, sharing and supporting that are key at the human level to evolution.
Arthur found the all-important 3rd derivative in astrology that rounds out the measure formulae of classical physics, whose functions mass [M], length [L] and time [T] underpin modern science and, in turn, our world belief system. Every civilization has a belief system that rests on its assumptions about reality, and so dictates it policies, social norms and so on. Following the 1st and 2nd derivatives, velocity and acceleration, the 3rd is provided by Capricorn whose keynote is control. Control completes a cycle of action. It is the point where you stop -- sowing seeds, collecting information, whatever-- and return to your point. Here a projective factor, more intentional than subjective, enters the picture. In driving it is you who controls the car steering, accelerating and braking for a purpose, to go some place, and Darwinian Materialism omits it. Further, your destination is the same logical type as the start point-- in the formulae "L", so when you reach it the circle is closed.
All cycles of action are set in motion by purpose, whether to the purpose is to drive to your mother's house; turn sunlight into energy if you're a plant or complete a Great Solar Year, one of Earth's overriding purposes now.
Sabrina Loomis' crystal vision for a shining life
Consciousness and everything else in the cosmos evolve through cycles of action. You want to move up and on at the end of one, so you don't fall back into a contracting, negative spiral to end down and out. You can be sure of moving on however if you assume personal responsibility for all actions in your life and do them for the highest good, since Divine Mind responds working with you to express the One.
Arthur succeeded in putting Humpty Dumpty back together again so well, reorganizing the things the Age of Reason and the scientific method had pulled apart -- laudably, to see how they worked -- and restoring so rich a vision of the whole that it is clear a massive turning point is at hand. It asks only release of self-limiting beliefs and remembering that the purpose of life is enlightenment.
Arthur and Ruth invited me to visit them often after my parents died. Arthur’s Jupiter and my Uranus were conjunct. His Arabian Part of Spirit aligned with my natal Sun. The first time he looked at my chart he noticed that my Sun, Neptune and Mars formed a stellium, an amalgam of planets. “Ah, the creative imagination let loose, unfurled." I never can remember the exact word, but unforgettable was his delight glancing at me over his reading glasses.
My Pluto was in 7 degrees Leo, the everywhere-at-once degree whose Sabian symbol is constellations glow in the darkness of desert skies to mean "unquenchable faith in a spiritual being complementing our own." With the planet capping my chart in the 9th house of philosophy, astrology and action-at-a-distance, a life mission crooked a beckoning finger at me. We may have lost our compass, as Arthur said. Civilization may be derailed, but I would share what I could of his way to get us back on track.
From then on if I hit a bump in the road I'd remember my lucky stars that we all possess in some combination or other, pick myself up and keep moving. When the mother of a newborn for whom I was making a chart with shiny stickers for the planets said, “We hung it by his crib where he talks to it” (a remark making a friend chime as if it were a dance step, “We're doing the Baby Pearlstein!”), I realized the stickers could be traded up for gemstones and we could wear our horoscopes to uplift ourselves, others and hopefully the world.
