There is a phrase in this book, that I have seen mentioned in a number of threads on the forum, (It comes from pg 57 in the book)
I have gathered that the meaning of this is generally in reference to those who remain asleep and living almost exclusively in their mechanical nature, "feed" the moon with emotional reactions. By not choosing to evolve the self, they are choosing to allow 4D STS / predator mind, to feed on the "loosh". (I vaguely remember this word being used, though I cannot find it in the Cass Glossery)
My question is this, if the moon represents the predator mind, or STS ... why? I am only on page 70 of the book, but so far I have not found anything to clarify this. On the page I am reading, Oupensky goes in to great detail about the fundamental properties of language and how speech should be constructed upon the principal of relativity to the subject in order to accurately determine the angle of thought. I agree! entirely!
So I found it strange that he had been so ambiguous about what exactly the "moon" represents, and why that is? He is very precise in all his conceptual teachings... except for this one. It was like a statement out of the blue. Perhaps relevant... but unclear. If the moon is something other than what it seems to be, I would like to develop a better understanding of why anyone believes this.
I think of the moon as a piece of the Earth that was broken off in a collision a very uber-long, long time ago. It has it's own particular "resources" and attributes. It may even be a base; or it's unseen / dark side might be used as a crossing point for 4D beings to cross back and forth between 3D & 4D. But is it a predator? Does it take something from us? Or is it a metaphor? If it is a metaphor, then how has it come to have a reputation of being represented as a predator?
I may even be asking the "wrong" questions. I suppose I am a bit literal/simple-minded. I just can't quite grasp this one.
I was hoping someone who understands this concept could help me to get a better bead on it.
"...The moon at present feeds on organic life, on humanity. Humanity is a part of organic life; this means that humanity is food for the moon. ..."
