The Lunar Half True Characteristic (120)

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.


End (120).
