Waxing moon and waning moon, the - the same alternation occurs within us

10/01/2019

Every month, we see the moon waxing and waning in the sky. Similarly, our consciousness brightens and dims, ebbs and flows. We are subject to the same alternations as nature, and it is therefore necessary to be aware of the time when each phenomenon is likely to occur. Imagine a difficult period is nearing – if you don't feel it coming, you unwisely take on commitments; then, when it is time to act, you no longer have the inspiration or the desire and you fail in your endeavour. You could have avoided this failure had you anticipated there would inevitably come a time when you would see less clearly. For all errors are made in the dark, at the moment when our consciousness is clouded. You cannot escape this alternation of day and night, light and darkness within you anymore than you can outside. But if you learn to observe yourself, each time you will discover certain warning signs alerting you to the approaching period of darkness. So be vigilant. Prepare the spiritual elements that will continue to maintain the light within you.
