The Living Solar System
by Keith Whitten, M.D.
160 pages. 30 illustrations.
Describes how the solar system is a photosynthetic organism on a cosmic scale.
A new understanding of astrobiology is presented.
“The solar system is a Great Man. Man is a small solar system.“

The solar system is alive; it’s a photosynthetic organism on a cosmic scale. The Sun is the brain, Earth is the ‘Heart Planet.’

MONAD is the Heart Monitor for the Heart Planet of the Living Solar System.
The MONAD Calendar-Clock Ring makes it easy to accurately measure planetary, photosynthetic biorhythms that contribute to the variable distribution of sunlight & moonlight, to photosynthetic plants growing on the Heart Planet.
The hour hand projecting from the Earth tells the solar day, the Moon orbiting the Earth tells the lunar month, and the location of the Sun along the ecliptic tells the seasonal year. These are 3 of the most important planetary, photosynthetic biorhythms that profoundly influence your personal (animal) biorhythms.
MONAD represents a paradigm shift of planetary proportions.

The Basic Idea
1. Biosphere
A living solar system is one which grows a biosphere on the ‘heart planet.’
2. Heart Planet
Planet Earth is an example of a heart planet, with a 3-phase hydrosphere and a hydrologic cycle equivalent to the circulatory system in animals.
3. Photosynthetic
The heart planet of a living solar system has a predominantly plant-based biosphere, making it a photosynthetic organism on a cosmic scale.
4. Magnetosphere
The heart planet of a living solar system has a magnetosphere, part of the morphogenetic field of the solar system as a whole.
5. Dual Nature
The biosphere growing on the heart planet has a dual nature: plants & animals, which are complementary organisms, with complementary physiologies & complementary biorhythms.
6. Complementary Biorhythms
The heart planet of a living solar system has photosynthetic biorhythms (the solar day, lunar month, seasonal year) involving the distribution of sunlight to plants growing on the surface of Earth. Animals have complementary biorhythms (heart beat, breath, and swara) involving the distribution of oxygen to cells making up the body.
7. Morphogenetic Field
A living solar system has a collection of planets, and each of those planets is surrounded by a morphogenetic field, making each planet (and the Sun) a model for a corresponding organ system in an animal body growing on the heart planet.
8. Great Man
Our living solar system is a Great Man, and Man is a small solar system.
