Introduction
There are really two ways to study the moon. One is to study
the moon from the cosmic perspective and the other way is to study the moon
from within the human being.
Cosmic Study
The cosmic study of the moon is to study the moon from an
astronomical perspective, which is to see the moon as a celestial body
From within the Human Being
The study of the moon from the viewpoint of the human being
follows the axiom that the human being (a microcosms) is a universe in
miniature. Meaning if there is a moon outside of us there is also a moon within
us.
Therefore the study of the moon from the perspective of the
human being is a psychological and esoteric study, which is to essentially see
the lunar principles and characteristics working in our psychology and in our
inner constitution.
Lunar and Solar Principles
The main two principles in the cosmos and in the human being
are the lunar and solar principles. For the Earth the two most important
celestial bodies and principles are the sun and the moon. As above so below, so
as it is for the Earth so it is for the human being.
Middle Ground – Combination of the Two Studies
There is also a middle ground between the two studies, which
is studying how human beings have studied the moon and are gaining knowledge of
the moon. There is also the study of the moon in how it takes part in our
culture. And now to finish, there is also the study of the moon's influence on
the human being.
