On Guidance

[sdi]

We moderns—myself included!—lament the disenchantment of the modern world, the Age of Aquarius and the harsh rule of Saturn, the great gulf between the spiritual and the mundane, and so on.

But consider this: our pole star, Polaris, is an extremely good pole star, perhaps the best pole star: much closer to the celestial pole and much brighter than any other. Indeed, since it moves in the heavens, when Polaris becomes the pole star again many millennia hence, it will not be as good a pole star as it is now.

While our times are, perhaps, more difficult than most, we have the benefit of better guidance than most.
