Before I delve into the topic of this blog post, I want to
emphasise that the lunar force is a real force that does indeed exist in
creation and is definitely needed in, and for certain aspects of creation.
However, for that force to be operating outside of its orbit
or to be superimposed onto something that does not have a lunar nature it becomes
harmful, especially if in our psychology the lunar force becomes the dominant
factor. To have a lunar psychology is to bring a lot of conflict, friction,
opposition and resistance into our lives and into the relationships between
ourselves and others. We need to have the solar force in control and directing
the lunar force just as it is done in the solar system.
Example
A good example is what Master Samael says, about the mind in
that it should have a lunar nature, that is, it should have or actually originally
did have a lunar nature that was characterised by being feminie or receptive.
However, in this time and age the mind is far from quiet and receptive, it is
fully active, generating, elaborating and projecting thoughts all day long.
Some things are meant to be lunar as in the case of the
mind, and so what is lunar in nature definitely does have a place in creation.
But the important point is that the lunar force has to be governed or balanced
by a solar force, which in the case of the mind, is the essence or the
consciousness. The essence being solar balances and governs the mind, the mind
then becomes an instrument of the solar force or the essence or consciousness.
Our problem is that the lunar force is in control and subdues our solar force,
in practical terms the ego in the mind eclipses our consciousness where instead
of our life being guided by the instructions of the consciousness received by
the mind, the ego (lunar) in mind guides our life, making us completely
dominated by lunar elements, devoid of the solar. This lack of balance is a
major cause of many of our physical, psychological and esoteric problems.
Half True
The Lunar force operates on half-truths or on relative
truths.
The way the lunar forces exist is partly false partly true.
For a lunar force to exist there has to be a solar force, if there is no solar
force there cannot be any lunar force. It does not have a reality on its own,
that is, a reality being generated by itself and from itself.
Solar is True
Typically the lunar forces operate relative to something or
depending upon something and quite often this relative operation takes the form
of resistance - usually a resistance to reality. The reason why this is, is
because the lunar force has certain dependencies or rigid interests that it
needs to receive to continue as it is, but the solar force is different in that
it does not have these needs. The solar force on the other hand, cooperates
with reality and does not resist but unifies with reality.
Lunar Creates Separation
When the lunar force operates it can create and when it does
the lunar force creates separability, while the solar creates unity and for
that reason it is true, because it is joined with reality.
What is lunar creates conflict and friction, because what is
lunar is rigid, fixed and separate but very importantly it is not an
independent individual. IT takes from others for itself and this is what
creates friction.
For the lunar force to maintain its separate existence it
has to create certain structures and these structures are counterfeit or false,
just as Pistis Sophia calls the ego the counterfeit spirit. These structures
appear real and do everything that the real one should do, however whatever
they do is done against others and in the interests for itself.
Those lunar forces which are real, create however, things in
us that are false, such as the false personality. The false personality in
Gnosis is lunar, because it is very partly true and it is only a very limited
part of our reality and comparing to what we really are, it is false.
Conclusion
The false personality creates resistance because it is limited
and selfish, it is like a capsule. Just as is the Moon it is a capsule really,
a capsule of its own interests. The Sun on the other hand is an expanse of
light. The Moon does not give but it only remains in its selfish capsule but
the sun gives and is not limited to its self-interests. Making all the
creations or consequences of the Moon or Lunar force partly true and partly
false creations, or in other words unbalanced creations, because they do not
take into account the solar.
Anyhow the ego’s statements, reasoning, thoughts, claims
etc. are only always have true because they come from a lunar element (the ego)
and the chief characteristic of the Moon is its one sidedness, separateness and
self-interest. It only sees things in its benefit making it partly true and
partly false. Solar is true because it tales both sides into account.
End (35).
