The waxing and waning of the phases of the moon is a special menstrual lunar cycle that repeat regularly every month from new moon to full moon back to new moon. The facsimile or exact copy of this cycle is 29½ days. Since Julian or Gregorian calendar month alternate between 30 and 31 days (except February) there is a good chance of 2 new moons or 2 full moons happening in the same month. For all practical purposes the former celestial event can be called a black moon (vampire moon), the latter a blue moon (werewolf moon). Interestingly enough the year 2006 had neither black nor blue moon while 2007 had a blue moon of June and 2008 had just a black moon of August.

Since nature has no selfish reasons or axes to grind regarding the regularity or irregularity of its natural cycles human obsession with its imposing fixed perpetual calendar perpetuated the legendary lunatic cycles of the werewolf and vampire. Similarly, the human nature of consciousness and subconsciousness between wakefulness and sleepiness is a natural cycle corresponding to the rising and setting of the Sun or Earth’s rotation around its 23° inclined axis to the ecliptic path that annually gives the recurrence of the 4 seasons. However, the survival instinct to stay awake during a full Harvest Moon near the autumn equinox and during the next full Hunter’s Moon resulted in 2 full sleepless months of September and October, sometime keeping active by the pretentious forced or taxed regular musical jazz rhythms from the sound of a brass saxophone.

What did I do now?

What did I do now?

For every MAX there is a MIN as a principle of Min-Max or Max-Min analysis of all cyclic phenomena in all of physical reality. Its totally is the 8 directional invariance properties:
left-up-fore, right-up-fore, left-up-back, right-up-back, left-down-fore, right-down-fore, left-down-back, and right-down-back.

I worked for many years with the mentally ill,and the moon certainly had a effect on them.

According to the theory of tide, for every body of water there are always two opposite areas of high tides and two opposite areas of low tides. The human body is mostly water. It is also affected by the gravity of the Moon as well as the gravity of the Sun. The highest and the lowest tides happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned in a straight line and Earth being located between the Sun and the Moon.

Yes our bodies are about 98% water so its not surprising that we are affected by the lunar cycles,and of course the added effect of the sun.

I'm still hoping that we can discuss scientifically by minimizing weblinks. Instead of 'they say', 'he says', 'she says' it can be more of 'I say' So, try to explain in your own words all the good ideas fit to post in this forum. As a toequester, I'm more interested in what you believe not what others outside the forum believe.

All post have substance just as all matter has substance.

Relevance is of a different notion, depending on perspective (view) of the preceptor (Seer).

Thoughts and ideas are what intention [consciousness] makes of them. imho

My intentions are positive (good).

I simply, at times, have trouble expressing them 'scientifically'. lol

I will make the necessary effort, if it please's you, to back up any future links with a "personal" narrative. Lol

Thanks for 'listening'.

Three Fundamental Propositions
H.P. Blavatsky

The reader has to bear in mind that the Stanzas given treat only of the Cosmogony of our own planetary System and what is visible around it, after a Solar Pralaya. The secret teachings with regard to the Evolution of the Universal Kosmos cannot be given, since they could not be understood by the highest minds in this age, and there seem to be very few Initiates, even among the greatest, who are allowed to speculate upon this subject. Moreover the Teachers say openly that not even the highest Dhyani-Chohans have ever penetrated the mysteries beyond those boundaries that separate the milliards of Solar systems from the "Central Sun," as it is called. Therefore, that which is given, relates only to our visible Kosmos, after a "Night of Brahma."

Before the reader proceeds to the consideration of the Stanzas from the Book of Dzyan which form the basis of the present work, it is absolutely necessary that he should be made acquainted with the few fundamental conceptions which underlie and pervade the entire system of thought to which his attention is invited. These basic ideas are few in number, and on their clear apprehension depends the understanding of all that follows; therefore no apology is required for asking the reader to make himself familiar with them first, before entering on the perusal of the work itself.

The Secret Doctrine establishes three fundamental propositions: --

(a) An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable PRINCIPLE on which all speculation is impossible, since it transcends the power of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human expression or similitude. It is beyond the range and reach of thought -- in the words of Mandukya, "unthinkable and unspeakable."

To render these ideas clearer to the general reader, let him set out with the postulate that there is one absolute Reality which antecedes all manifested, conditioned, being. This Infinite and Eternal Cause -- dimly formulated in the "Unconscious" and "Unknowable" of current European philosophy -- is the rootless root of "all that was, is, or ever shall be." It is of course devoid of all attributes and is essentially without any relation to manifested, finite Being. It is "Be-ness" rather than Being (in Sanskrit, Sat), and is beyond all thought or speculation.

This "Be-ness" is symbolised in the Secret Doctrine under two aspects. On the one hand, absolute abstract Space, representing bare subjectivity, the one thing which no human mind can either exclude from any conception, or conceive of by itself. On the other, absolute Abstract Motion representing Unconditioned Consciousness. Even our Western thinkers have shown that Consciousness is inconceivable to us apart from change, and motion best symbolises change, its essential characteristic. This latter aspect of the one Reality, is also symbolised by the term "The Great Breath," a symbol sufficiently graphic to need no further elucidation. Thus, then, the first fundamental axiom of the Secret Doctrine is this metaphysical One Absolute -- BE-NESS -- Symbolised by finite intelligence as the theological Trinity.

It may, however, assist the student if a few further explanations are given here.

Herbert Spencer has of late so far modified his Agnosticism, as to assert that the nature of the "First Cause," (1) which the Occultist more logically derives from the "Causeless Cause," the "Eternal," and the "Unknowable," may be essentially the same as that of the Consciousness which wells up within us: in short, that the impersonal reality pervading the Kosmos is the pure noumenon of thought. This advance on his part brings him very near to the esoteric and Vedantin tenet. (2)

Parabrahm (the One Reality, the Absolute) is the field of Absolute Consciousness, i.e., that Essence which is out of all relation to conditioned existence, and of which conscious existence is a conditioned symbol. But once that we pass in thought from this (to us) Absolute Negation, duality supervenes in the contrast of Spirit (or consciousness) and Matter, Subject and Object.

Spirit (or Consciousness) and Matter are, however, to be regarded, not as independent realities, but as the two facets or aspects of the Absolute (Parabrahm), which constitute the basis of conditioned Being whether subjective or objective.

Considering this metaphysical triad as the Root from which proceeds all manifestation, the great Breath assumes the character of precosmic Ideation. It is the fons et origo of force and of all individual consciousness, and supplies the guiding intelligence in the vast scheme of cosmic Evolution. On the other hand, precosmic root-substance (Mulaprakriti) is that aspect of the Absolute which underlies all the objective planes of Nature.

Just as pre-Cosmic Ideation is the root of all individual consciousness, so pre-Cosmic Substance is the substratum of matter in the various grades of its differentiation.

Hence it will be apparent that the contrast of these two aspects of the Absolute is essential to the existence of the "Manifested Universe." Apart from Cosmic Substance, Cosmic Ideation could not manifest as individual consciousness, since it is only through a vehicle (3) of matter that consciousness wells up as "I am I," a physical basis being necessary to focus a ray of the Universal Mind at a certain stage of complexity. Again, apart from Cosmic Ideation, Cosmic Substance would remain an empty abstraction, and no emergence of consciousness could ensue.

The "Manifested Universe," therefore, is pervaded by duality, which is, as it were, the very essence of its EX-istence as "manifestation." But just as the opposite poles of subject and object, spirit and matter, are but aspects of the One Unity in which they are synthesized, so, in the manifested Universe, there is "that" which links spirit to matter, subject to object.

This something, at present unknown to Western speculation, is called by the occultists Fohat. It is the "bridge" by which the "Ideas" existing in the "Divine Thought" are impressed on Cosmic substance as the "laws of Nature." Fohat is thus the dynamic energy of Cosmic Ideation; or, regarded from the other side, it is the intelligent medium, the guiding power of all manifestation, the "Thought Divine" transmitted and made manifest through the Dhyan Chohans, (4) the Architects of the visible World. Thus from Spirit, or Cosmic Ideation, comes our consciousness; from Cosmic Substance the several vehicles in which that consciousness is individualised and attains to self -- or reflective -- consciousness; while Fohat, in its various manifestations, is the mysterious link between Mind and Matter, the animating principle electrifying every atom into life.

The following summary will afford a clearer idea to the reader.

(1.) The ABSOLUTE; the Parabrahm of the Vedantins or the one Reality, SAT, which is, as Hegel says, both Absolute Being and Non-Being.

(2.) The first manifestation, the impersonal, and, in philosophy, unmanifested Logos, the precursor of the "manifested." This is the "First Cause," the "Unconscious" of European Pantheists.

(3.) Spirit-matter, LIFE; the "Spirit of the Universe," the Purusha and Prakriti, or the second Logos.

(4.) Cosmic Ideation, MAHAT or Intelligence, the Universal World-Soul; the Cosmic Noumenon of Matter, the basis of the intelligent operations in and of Nature, also called MAHA-BUDDHI.
