ABOUT THE MOON -- PART THREE

 

A Feminine Energy


Anyone who looks at the Moon, especially at the full Moon, would, I think, accept that beauty is displayed there. The Moon is soft, is feminine, is wisdom. You would associate nothing harsh with the Moon. That is the nature of its influence: for as the Earth is positive, is power, is outward expression, so the Moon is feminine, is wisdom is receptivity, is love.

Therefore, the female of the species on the Earth, being the wisdom and the creativity aspect, vibrates especially to the Moon´s influence. It therefore controls birth to a great extent. Every woman experiences the cycles of her body which, when medical science does not interfere, corresponds to the cycles of the Moon. Therefore, conception can, and should be planned according to its phases. The Moon influences birth not only in the Human Kingdom but in the other Kingdoms of the Earth as well.

Our Consciousness Increases

 I do not wish to go too deeply into Humanity´s spiritual bodies in this article, but for every influence on the physical level of which Humanity is aware, the Moon´s influence is tenfold on the higher levels. In particular, it influences the pineal gland, the receptivity, the wisdom, the learning gland of Humanity, and therefore knowledge and inspiration is obtained under its influence. Consciousness, also, can be increased under the Moon´s influence.

If you have not already tried it, carry out the experiment of trying to learn, of seeking to increase your consciousness, at the full phase of the Moon, for its powers given to the Earth at that time have great significance. Some ancient races were a little aware of this and established some of their religious ceremonies to take place during the full phase of the Moon. Some of the great Masters who have been on this Earth have incarnated, died, or performed significant spiritual acts, both on the physical and on the higher levels of life, according to the phases and the influences of the Moon.

Power Of Full Moon

 The Moon also influences your astral body while you are in the physical, and therefore it can also be a great aid to the use of this body, with all that is involved, especially in the field of psychic phenomena. So for those who seek to develop this particular aspect, this particular spiritual talent, the invocation and the use of the Moon´s power is, again, of paramount importance. If you were to sit in meditation under the light of the full Moon you would feel increased awareness, with the power flowing through your pineal gland and spreading throughtout your whole being. You would feel that greater consciousness, Infinite Consciousness, linking up with yours.

The mind and the brain are also influenced by the Moon. How you think, how you receive inspiration, how you behave, how you use your intellect and reasoning, are to a great extent influenced and controlled by the Moon. The use of its powers can lift those little shutters on the brain, the little valves which, consciously or subconsciously, allow in the vibrations of the cosmos, the experiences of the soul on other levels.

These valves are responsive to the influences of the Moon. You have heard of the expression "moon madness". There are not many who suffer from this affliction but, occasionally, due to faults in the mechanism of the brain, under the influence of the full moon these shutters open and pictures, or images, of other levels of life come into the minds of some people, thus confusing them and destroying the harmony of physical life.

 Phases Of The Moon

 This is the effect of the Moon´s power if it is not controlled. But for those who sit in meditation, correctly linking their consciousnesses to that of their Creator and using the power that the Moon gives, there will be moments of awareness which are both great and sudden. If the Moon shone upon the Earth continuously Humanity would not be able to stand its influence and so, wisely, it appears in phases. These phases are important for they cause cycles on the Earth. The theory of the four phases of the Moon in relation to the Earth is a treatise in itself, but if Humanity was only to experiment a little with the four Kingdoms of Matter, to see which Kingdom responded the most during which quarter, it would greatly improve the quality, the harmony and the understanding of its life on the Earth.

In the past, ancient peoples, although less advanced technologically, were more spiritually in balance. They understood the use and the purpose of the Moon and so could lead a more fulfilled, if not such a technologically advanced, life. If Humanity today was to discover today and use the Moon´s influence and power no one would starve. There would be no droughts. There would be no earthquakes. There would be few natural disasters except for those which Humanity itself caused.

Key To Man´s Progress

 The Moon is always ready to serve the Earth. Why do you look at it, why are you aware of its presence, without using it? Is it because in your intellect, in your ego, you consider that the key to yourself, the key to evolution, the key to spiritual and material awareness, is locked within this Earth and could not be beyond it? Perhaps so. But for those of you who can cast your minds outwards, who can look at the Moon, who can vibrate towards that orb of beauty which reflects so much, including the nature of life on this Earth, you will find the key not only to your earthly progression but to your spiritual progression as well, and even to the progression of the Solar Body in which you live.
