Why The Moon?

[Adonai One]

“To love another person is to see the face of God.”

Loved your post, Spaced, and your thoughts! I've been thinking in similiar directions myself. But as Ra said, Archetypes haunt, don't they?

And I've had the same thoughts about the moon on Venus. What if Venus had a moon, and maybe not only one, 2,6 billions of years ago? Who knows such stuff being stuck in 3D?

Well hello godwide_void and Confused! Spaced has conjured up the dead.

Hello, hi, thanks Icaro!!

Well, how can I be ever dead to b4th? It is one lovely community that still celebrates the deep bond that love and fraternal fellowship provides to a community of collaborative seekers!!

Let us say that I just took a brief hiatus and probably, like you say, spaced cast a good spell with the moon to conjure us up.

I only took a short several month hiatus from this board back a few years ago when I was living with my dad who did not allow anything of the occult in his home. I'm not sure if the Law of One is occult or not. I've probably been more active than I ought to have been. Probably a case of OCD, though not formally diagnosed.

One of the meanings for the word 'occult' according to Merriam-Webster is "to shut off from view or exposure". It is a nice coincidence that you bring up that word, Gemini. Probably, the Moon is an archetype for the occultation of real nature of the spirit.

80.10 Questioner: Now, the fifteenth archetype, which is the Matrix of the Spirit, has been called the Devil. Can you tell me why that is so?

Ra: I am Ra. We do not wish to be facile in such a central query, but we may note that the nature of the spirit is so infinitely subtle that the fructifying influence of light upon the great darkness of the spirit is very often not as apparent as the darkness itself. The progress chosen by many adepts becomes a confused path as each adept attempts to use the Catalyst of the Spirit. Few there are which are successful in grasping the light of the sun. By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery. Therefore, the melody, shall we say, of this matrix often seems to be of a negative and evil, as you would call it, nature.

It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.
