Introduction
In a previous post we briefly examined the Greek myth about the
Moon.
The Greek myth states that the Moon, Selene was the daughter
of Theia, the Earth, and Hyperion, the Sun. It also mentions that Selene was
loved by Pan the God of nature and that Selene loved Endymion (mankind) whom
Zues had put into a deep sleep.
Clearing it all Up
Selene is Humanity
According to Samael Aun Weor, a contemporary esotericist,
the Greek myth of the Moon or Selene refers to this humanity, whom he describes
as being lunar in quality.
We will in later blog posts go into depth about the various
qualities that fall under the term lunar
and contrast them with the various qualities that fall under the term adjective
solar.
Samel Aun Weor describes the Selene as being this humanity which
is lunar in quality and he also describes Endymion as being this humanity. He
says that the Greek myth is not astronomical or geological but rather something
psychological, anthropological and esoteric.
Selene the Product of Theia and Hyperion
To say that Selene, this lunar humanity as being the product
of the Earth and the Sun makes sense and is true, because we certainly depend
on both. We would not be alive as we are now, if there were no sun or an Earth
to live on.
Selene and Endymion both Humanity
Well this is a confusing aspect of Samael Aun Weor’s
interpretation of the Greek myth. It essentially states that the lunar race
loves itself as the myth or legend states the Selene loved Endymion. However, it
could be taken to represent the degree to which humanity and the lunar or
selenic qualities are intimately linked.
Endymion Put to Sleep by Zeus
This is certainly true, humanity is currently sleeping,
please note we will talk more about this in later posts. However, the sleeping
adjective means that the consciousness or the faculty of awareness or the cognitive
faculty of the human being is not fully developed or is in an incipient and
dormant state.
Conclusion
The Greek myth does not suggest really that the Moon came
from the Earth as the modern Splash or Impact theory suggests, rather the Greek
myth refers to something else altogether, it refers the characteristics of humanity,
or the gives some light as to why humanity is the way it is.
End.
