Plan Your Month (LIFE) with the Moon....

http://www.astrograph.com/learning-astrology/phases.php


Here's an easy-to-read-and-understand guide to the moon's phases.
It might help explain what's happening and why;
and give you a better idea of how to make the most of the
inevitable changes brought about by Moon.

Imagine being in a tribe of about 25 or so people on the night of a New Moon.
Huddled around the fire all is well, but beyond y'all is Infinite Darkness of Nothingness.
The landscape is invisible and full of every possibility that only The Void can bring.
Enveloped in the Black Womb of Creation and Destruction you know Fear and Hope
it is the Beginning and End of All Things.

....Before God said, "Let there be Light," there was first
the Deep Dark Nothingness from which Light and Life spring forth.

Now imagine a couple weeks later when the Full Moon
lights up your whole world and everything that was once hidden
around you is illuminated and nothing is unseen or unknown.
It is as if the Sun is out at night and you can run, jump and play
through the night without doubt or fear...there's an obvious correlation here.

Moon controls the very tide, it is by the Moon that we plant and harvest.
By the Sun we are given Light and our ever-changing Night Light....
Yet Moon reminds us of the Feminine in Her Constant Change, guiding
the Ebb and Flow of Humanity...Moon reminds us of the Breath in Her Full Moon Inhale
and Her New Moon Exhale and each and every phase of the waxing and waning
process....Moon reminds us of Life in Her Brightest Moments and Darkest Hours.

It's always been a dream of mine to go into space and to the moon.

Would you go to the Moon?
Do you have any Moon rituals?
Do you notice any personal patterns that go along with Moon's phases?
Do you only think about the Moon once in a Blue Moon?

The Principle or The Vision?

Once I asked my Dad...

"Papa? What's more important; the principle or the vision?"

He considered it for just moment and responded:

"The Process."

-----


And I'm certain that it's both.
...and either and neither all at the same time and never....to varying degrees.

It's a beautiful ballet and a brouhaha of sticking to your principles, maintaining the vision, and committing to the process that brings about the greatest and most satisfying things in life.

Religiously Spiritual...

Lotsa folks these days are saying,
"I'm not so much religious, I'm spiritual."

Well that's fine and dandy, but I find that I'm
very religious and quite spiritual.

Rites, rituals, celebrations, formalities, ceremony...
all of this facilitates the spiritual experience.
Otherwise, how would we know when the Spirit of God was falling or not?

Can we even tear the two apart?

Can we be religious without being spiritual
or spiritual without being religious?
