A movement is a BeautyMovement if it embraces all the wondrous experiences our universe has to offer to sentient beings such as ourselves. A worrisomely large number of religions avoid this way of thought, claiming instead that we should wait to experience transcendent beauty in an unknowable Heaven.

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

-"Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats

Well, this famous statement is a little over-the-top, but beauty is nevertheless more important than some might suppose. Surface appearances can connect to and motivate deeper truths and purposes. A deep sense of the beauty of life and of the immense cosmos in which we find ourselves is a main reason why humans have become what we are today: beings who revel in exploration, in learning and understanding all that we can about our world while never losing our core *sense of wonder* at the grandeur of Creation. It will also serve as one of the major forces that drives us to pursue TheDestiny: we want to learn what's out there, and we want to learn it firsthand. Robotic explorers are enough for now, but not for long.

Brandon is looking to commission an illustrator to create an illustration of SolSeed with potential for follow-on illustrations of core concepts. If you'd like to help me think about the concept and find an artist contribute to SolSeed/Artists.

I would like to bring to the attention of the members of the Solseed Movement, the Space Settlement section of the website of the National Space Society. Nearly all material concerning Space Settlement (almosty 20,000 pages), that is not proprietary or classified, is included. http://www.nss.org/settlement/

edit What about a free escrow service?

Dear Brandon CS Sanders, as you are the chief architect of AboutUs, you and the friendly and constructive people here on the site might be interested in this idea, to strengthen the role of AboutUs as a global player. So I bought FreeEscrow.org, what could perfectly align with the ideas in the AboutUs.org field. Looking for active partners to CreateAndShareWealth. <-> FreeEscrow. --fridemar 15:21, 24 February 2008 (PST)
