Role of the Moon Part II – From Rodney Collins (26)

Introduction

This post carries on from the previous one. What is essential to take from the previous post (25) is that the Moon has its effect on water or on the liquids of the Earth giving them some freedom, and with this freedom the ability to move.

All of Life is Moist

“All of life is moist” that is quite true, Rodney Collins states that all of life is moist, and therefore what can influence water can also influence life. Rodney makes a certain distinction saying that there are degrees in the effect of the Moon on the various forms of life according to their moisture content.

He states that the life forms that have a higher moisture content are more noticeably affected by the Moon. He gives the examples of how land crabs, palolo worms, oysters, scallops and sea-urchins have sexual rhythms that follow the phase of the Moon. Even vegetables like melons, marrows and Sargasso-seaweed reach their maximum moisture content at the time of the full moon.

The Sun Endows Life, the Planets Form and the Moon Motion

Rodney Collins states that “The world of nature, engendered by the Sun, built of the Earth, and clothed with form by the planets, is endowed with motion by the Moon.”. This tends to make a lot of sense as certainly our flesh and bones come from the Earth, our life certainly fed by the Sun and comes from the stars and as we are to a large percentage water and already noting that the Moon gives water the freedom to move, our movement function is given to us by the Moon.

A post in the near future will cover in more detail how the Moon influences our movements.

Moon's Place in the Hierarchy of Planetary Influences

I could never understand why Gabriel the regent of the Moon in esotericism was regarded so highly, especially when the Moon was meant to be a lifeless planet and all the other Cosmocrators (Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Michael, Samael, Zachariel and Orifiel) or archangels are regents of planets that are alive.

It now makes sense because the Moon does indeed have a very real influence on the Earth and so from a Earth dwellers point of view it makes sense that the Moon be regarded as one of the planets that has its place in the Hierarchy of planets that influence life on Earth.

Conclusion

So wherever there is liquid there is lunar motion, so in summary the role of the Moon is to give life on Earth the ability to move. And by virtue of this it is like a pendulum controlling via cycles the movement of life on Earth.
