The Moon, Earth and Sun Relationship (41)

Introduction

The Moon, the Earth and the Sun are all related. A relationship amongst the three exists. It is true though that the Moon is more related to the Earth than to the Sun, that is, the Moon affects the Earth more than it affects the Sun.

The Earth and Sun Relationship

If the Moon were not present the Earth would have a more direct relationship to the Sun. There would not be for instance, the effects of the Solar eclipse on the Earth and the effect of the Moon phases on the Earth.

Solar Eclipse

The Moon actually interferes or affects the relationship that the Earth has with the Sun, that is from time to time the Moon blocks the Sun from preventing the Earth from receiving the Sun’s rays for a short time. This is called a Solar Eclipse.

The Sun irradiates both the Moon and the Earth equally but because the Earth has life and water the Sun’s energy is used differently by the Earth than to the way it is used by the Moon.

Moon Phases

Because of the Sun-Moon relationship seen from the Earth’s point of view there is the phenomenon of the waxing to full and the waning new Moon. As previous posts have showed this cycle of the Moon has its effects on life here on Earth.

The Moon and Sun Relationship

The Earth in turn interferes in the Moon’s relationship to the Sun as well, where the Earth blocks the Sun, preventing the Moon from receiving the Sun’s rays for a short time.

Lunar Eclipse

During some periods of a full moon, there are special moments when the Sun, the Earth and the Moon all line up in a straight line, with the Earth in between the Sun and the Moon. Naturally the Earth will cast a shadow and naturally if all three heavenly bodies are aligned the Moon will be stuck for a short time in the shadow of the Earth, thus having the Sun’s radiation blocked off from reaching it. This is called a Lunar Eclipse and it is a situation where the Earth interferes in the radiation receiving relationship between the Sun and the Moon.

Conclusion

Basically because the particular nature of the Earth-Moon relationship both Moon affects the Earth-Sun relationship and the Earth affects the Sun-Moon relationship. However, the interference of the Moon in the Sun-Earth relationship has more impact that the interference of eh Earth in the Sun-Moon relationship. The following posts will explain why this is.

Lunar Effect on Animal Subconscious (40)

Introduction

The SSRF (Spiritual Science Research Foundation) also states that the Moon’s vibrations or emissions affect the human mind as well as the mind of animals. I wasn’t quite sure that animals have a mind, however perhaps they do as they certainly have a brain and they certainly have memory. Many experiments have shown that animals also have a certain level of intelligence.

So if we accept that animals something of a mind then if the Moon affects the human mind it must also affect the minds of animals. This is quite plausible as animals during the times of a full Moon exhibit an agitated type of behaviour that is beyond their norm.

Summary of SSRF Moon Vibrations Effect on the Human Mind

The previous post (39) described the Moon as having the effect of making the subconscious in the human being more active, where the thoughts from the subconscious enter the conscious mind with much more ease, frequency and intensity. Basically whatever we have in our subconscious gets amplified and has a greater tendency to come out around the and during the time of a full moon.

Animal Subconscious

The SSRF says that the Moon’s vibrations affect the minds of animals in the same way as it does human beings. Animals only really have basic survival desires in their subconscious. They do not have all these other things such as conversations, movies, news, books, games, internet, etc. in their subconscious. They have the basics such as food, rest, safety and reproduction.

Moon Vibration Effect on Animals

Therefore the effect of the Moon on animals is to make these basic desires much more active in them and therefore they are more active trying to fulfil these desires, which could imply fighting and to defend themselves from other animals who are trying to fulfil their desires and attacking others to fulfil their own desires.

Summary

So then, the Moon’s frequencies affect human beings and animals alike. This from the esoteric point of view also makes a lot of sense. Perhaps in another post I will explain more about this. Well even to science as well, because there are branches of science that treat or consider the human being to be an animal, the terms ‘human ape’ or the ‘human animal’ have been used with popularity.

Lunar Influence on the Human Subconscious (39)

Introduction

This post comes from a web site article written by the SSRF that is the Spiritual Science Research Foundation. This foundation has many interesting articles on their website, all about the scientific investigation into various spiritual, mystical and metaphysical topics.

Summary of SSRF Investigation Results

In short, according to the SSRF the Moon does affect human behaviour, they say that the Moon has an effect on us both physically and subtlety, that is in or on our psychology.

Moon’s Vibrations

The SSRF says that the vibrations or frequencies of the Moon are of such a quality that they activate the impressions in the subconscious of human beings and animals.

The SSRF says that all planets and stars vibrate and therefore emit a certain very particular type of radiation. It so happens that the emissions of the Moon affect the subconscious part of our mind rather than the conscious part.

Effect of the Moon Emissions or Vibrations

The SSRF states that the impressions in the subconscious are agitated or energized by the emissions of the Moon. The emissions of the moon are of such a frequency that resonance occurs between these Moon emissions and the impressions in our subconscious.

This resonance effect makes the subconscious in the human beings and animals more active and so the impressions, memories, desires etc. in the subconscious begin to surface and enter the conscious mind we are bothered by these thoughts are impelled to act upon them, and as there are strange things in our subconscious, acting on those things means that we do crazy things, accounting for the crazy things that happen on a full moon night where the Moon’s emissions are the most intense because they are amplified by the energy of the Sun being reflected off the Moon heading towards us here on the Earth.

Summary

Therefore the effect of the Moon according to the SSRF is to make the subconscious of the human being more active. This effect is also said because the radiation coming from the moon is of higher intensity to be greater at or during the times of a full moon.

Why Full Moon Effect Studies Today Fail (38)

Introduction

Now days it is really hard to find scientific studies that conclude that the Moon has a definite effect on human behaviour. However in the past many studies did show the Moon to affect human behaviour. It was well known back then how the Moon would affect human behaviour. It was a widely accepted phenomenon. So the question arises why now days do all these studies show up nothing conclusive.

Reason Why

The reason why is that now days humanity is more degenerated and the overall or background level of human behaviour has gotten worse or stranger.

Meaning that he Moon’s effect is drowned out by the already high level of human degeneration. Back in the times where the moon effect studies were conclusive humanity was not as degenerated as it is now and so the effects on human behaviour would easily stand out during times of a full or new Moon.

Conclusion

Because everyone now days is more or less a little strange the effect of the Moon does not go noticed or only slightly noticed but not enough to make it conclusive.

Moon and Human Mechanicity – From Rodney Collins (37)

Introduction

I find the information that I am going to include in this post really extraordinary. It has for me anyway, helped to understand the effect of the moon on the human being and under what precise conditions this effect reaches its maximum. Hope you find the information in this post as interesting and impactful as I have found it.

Moon as the Cause of Mechanical Movement

Recapping from the previous post, the Moon influences liquids, including the liquids or fluids inside the human body and outside the human body. The Moon does not influence solids, minerals, gases or electricity, but it certainly influences liquids.

The Moon draws the liquids in our body towards it and the Earth draws those liquids down towards it, so at some point the liquids, being drawn down and up at the same time reach a stand still where those two forces cancel out leaving the fluids suspended. Because of this stand still effect on our liquids especially the lymph liquids, the human being has to move to get the lymph fluids to circulate through the lymphatic system in the body.

Therefore if we do not move physically and intentionally, we are impelled to move our body unintentionally that is automatically, in an unconscious and mechanical way. Therefore the Moon is the cause of our mechanical involuntary and unaware movements and can only really reach us when we are not conscious of what we are doing. The lunar influence strives in our not knowing and in our lack of conscious attention and self-observation. The Moon rules over the mechanicity and involuntary movements in the human being. 

Moon and Habits

We all create habits which are something that we have learnt or performed in the beginning for a good or bad reason. Later though the impulses to move go into the habits or patterns that we have previously created.

Habit is a large part of our life and so as the Moon is the one that produces the need for us to move involuntarily the Moon is behind the strength of many of our habits. Once again the Moon is there controlling our mechanical actions.

Habits form our Life and Chief Characteristics

Habits over time creep into our life and spread through it creating certain very identifying characteristics. Our chief weakness and our weaknesses in general are certainly habits.

Chief weakness is built on habit and habit is strengthened by involuntary action and involuntary action is built on pointless movement. This is all caused by the effect of the Moon on liquid matter.

Below is a section of text from Rodney Collins’ book “The Theory of Celestial Influence” where he gives an example of how a habit can become a chief weakness.

“A characteristic habit, gradually spreading into all sides of a man's life, in time becomes his chief weakness. For instance, a man has on the one hand a tendency to be shy, and on the other a tendency to be meticulous in the performance of small tasks. While still a boy he acquires the habit of wanting to finish what he is doing rather than meet other people. Gradually, it begins to seem right and inevitable to him to complete even the most trivial task before fulfilling an engagement. Later still, if there is no task to delay his meeting people, he invents one. And so in the end it happens that — quite literally - he never keeps an engagement.

Such a chief weakness may spoil a man's life, get him into endless trouble, prevent him from accomplishing everything that he attempts. And the curious thing is that to the man himself the weakness may remain quite unknown and invisible. For to him each instance will seem separate and inevitable, and it will never occur to him that he could act in any other way.

Chief weakness is thus built on habit, habit on involuntary action, and involuntary action on pointless movement. And the primary cause of this whole sequence is the apparently innocent influence of the Moon upon liquid matter. It is for this reason that the path of conscious development is sometimes described as 'escape from the power of the Moon'.”

Escape from the Power of the Moon

When we attempt to become conscious we will at some point become conscious of all of our involuntary actions and habits and general mechanicity, whose cause is produced in us by the Moon. Therefore to escape or free ourselves from our mechanicity we end up starting to escape from the power of the Moon over us. Because it is the Moon that is a large contributor to our mechanicity and so that is why it is said that when we try to awaken or that is become more conscious it is said that we are trying to escape from the power of the Moon.

Lunar Influence Will Always be there where there are Liquids

As long as we are liquid we will move impelled by the Moon. If we were all solid or all energy we would be free from the influence of the Moon. We can not change our liquid nature though we can change our centre of gravity so that we are more based I our aerial, solid and etheric levels, which do not function based on liquids.

Change our Centre of Gravity

One way to escape the influence of the Moon is to base our centre of gravity in our consciousness and in the heart, because concentrating on these two elements which are not liquid but electric in nature take us away from the effects of the Moon.

Conclusion

The Greek legend said the Endymion (humanity) was put to sleep by the Luna or Selene (the Moon) but Pan was totally in love with her . That is nature, the animals, plants and minerals are all under Her (the Mon’s) influence and control exerting them to move involuntarily. However humanity is under her control with Her the Moon inducing in us all sorts of mechanicity, however if the human being decides to wake up, that is to become conscious that human being will stop being controlled by the Moon and will then not be Hers, i.e. free of Her. Image below is of the Goddess Luna.

The Legend states that Luna or Selene was in love with Endymion but not the other way around. This means that the Moon has grasped us, because liquids are part of our nature, we were created that way, and we have not grasped the Moon. To keep us the Moon has put us to sleep, i.e. induced in us a certain mechanical nature.

Moon Influence on Human Movement – From Rodney Collins (36)

Introduction

The human body, it is said, averages out to have about 65% water content by weight. This number varies greatly by age, sex, weight and health, though it is still quiet high. Meaning that if there is something that can influence water that same something can influence the human body due to the relatively high amount of water in the body.

General Effect of Moon on Water

Generally speaking, picking up from previous posts, namely posts 25, 26 and 27 the role of the Moon is draw the fluids present on the Earth towards it. If the Moon were not there these fluids would be sucked flat towards the surface of the Earth. So the Moon acts as a counterweight keeping the fluids present on the Earth suspended somewhat rather than being drawn flat to the ground.

The Two Fluid Systems in the Human Body

There are two major fluid circulation systems in the human body. They are the blood circulation and the lymph circulation systems. The blood circulation system is powered by the heart which in esotericism is ruled by the Sun, and in many ways esotericism considers the heart to be the Sun within the microcosmos of the human being.

The heart pumping blood around the body keeps the blood immune from the pulling down effect of the Earth’s gravity and the pulling up effect of the Moon. The lymph system does not have a pump making it vulnerable to the influence of the Earth’s and the Moon’s pulls.

Lymph System

The only way that lymph can circulate through the lymph system is by muscular or bodily movement. The Moon’s effect suspends the lymph within the various capillaries of the lymph system not allowing the lymph to be pulled downwards by the Earth’s gravity. In effect the Moon keeps the lymph immobile or stagnant. If the Moon were not present the lymph would constantly glow downwards.

To remove all the toxins in the lymph the lymph must circulate. If there is no movement of the body for a long time the body’s muscles become irritated impelling the body to move. Then because of the Moon’s effect we have to move to get the lymph circulating. Therefore we can say that the Moon induces movement in the human being.

Human Movement

The human being must move, because of the effect of the Moon on suspending in the lymph in a motionless state.

If we move intentionally then we channel the influence of the Moon in a very positive and productive way. Our life is the combination of the planetary influences, when we combine movement from the Moon with other planetary influences in the activities of life we are acting in harmony and in balance. We break the balance when we just move by the influence of eth Moon which because it does not have any other planetary accompaniment it is devoid of purpose and is therefore mechanical.

Lazy People

People who do not move much such as lazy people, are very prone to this influence of the Moon. Such people if we observe them, we will find that they are always moving and are never still. They are impelled to move so to make the lymph circulate in our body. In effect they move according to the Moon or in other words the Moon makes them to move.

Conclusion

Our mechanical movements and gesture and facial expressions are all motivated by the Moon.

The Lunar Half True Characteristic (35)

Disclaimer!

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.
