Course XXXIX - Teaching 11: The Moon

The Moon is the planet that during its Round develops the ethereal and astral form of the human monads and, when its cycle of evolution ends, leaves its heritage of acquired experience to the Earth, her daughter. The Earth is not a planet emerged from the mother mass but formed by a part of the physical body of the Moon, and of other asteroids and planetary detritus.
The Moon, once its Round ends, is a potential state of decay and absorbs its physical life from earthly magnetism periodically in accordance with lunar phases and that is why the Moon marks its influence on Earth, especially in regard to tides and wind power.
As a consequence of cause and effect, the Moon determines the physical gestation of plants, animals and men, and its psychic influence is especially reflected on the astral bodies, because the connection between the mental body and the physical body is established during the Lunar Round.
During the Rounds of other planets, Hosts and great beings that animated them never were able to become entirely materialized and to give physical body to the Divine Incarnation, but the lunar globes, in their fourth globe, shaped a new body, an astral body, a great shadow that eventually would be perfect vehicle between mind and matter.
At the end of the seventh Round of the lunar chain, all its values were left to the terrestrial globes like a mother leaves a legacy to her daughter.
Before the sixth Round of the Earth, the lunar corpse will be entirely devitalized until its gradual dissolution and disintegration at the end of the seventh Earthly Round.
