As for Ra, they see this issue through a cultural background. Not a biggie.
Quote:92.28 Questioner: Would the half moon on the crown represent the receptivity of the subconscious mind?
Ra: I am Ra. This symbol is not given by Ra but it is not distasteful for within your own culture the moon represents the feminine, the sun the masculine. Thusly we accept this portion as a portion of the image, for it seems without significant distortion.
Great quote, and I agree, we assign our own symbols. There is no right or wrong.
I agree that there is no right or wrong, we all know this as LofO students and more, which is that the moon carries different cultural meanings. The dominant cultural background of this forum as well as of the channel sessions, after all, are American and, in American culture, the Moon is seen as a feminine entity, I know that. My comment, in pointing out this issue, was to open the mind of others regarding the consideration that other cultures and perspectives may be equally valid and, that ignoring them would only bring more distortions. After all, it would only be a restrain to consider only the American culture on the issue of the moon. If opening cultural perspectives alone has been able to bring another point of view on the gender of the moon, then it is a good thing because there are implications and meanings behind the change of gender; implications which were made and can get unvalidated/annihilated by understanding the change.
As Ra pointed out, "This symbol is not given by Ra" and "in your culture the moon represents the feminine... ". Ra then goes on describing this representation as "a portion of the image" ...
Anyway, the reason why I introduced the knowledge of a different gender is in relation to the ‘why’ behind the change of gender. Actually the Moon started to be perceived as a feminine entity at a fairly later stage in human history, starting from the Greek times with Selene, followed by the Roman times with Luna. Selene is carrying a veil as a symbol for the sky as a canopy; this is an important point to remember as we are going to see more Moon ‘anomalies’ as well as celestial bodies ‘anomalies’ and even sky ‘anomalies’. Before Selene, the moon was a male entity in all cultures (as far as I know at the moment; it may change if I learn differently but it seems for now that it all congrues in that direction).
Before this change and during many millenia, people were happy to see the Earth as the respondent feminine motherly entity going along with the Sun as the masculine fatherly figure. This representation still holds today in most cultures even in esoteric Christianity where Earth is represented as the Black Madonna or the Black Virgin. This very anciently rooted lore gave Christianity the Virgin Mary, which is confirmed by her blue robe, as per the heraldry code. In the heraldry code of colours, we know that black is represented by the colour blue in enamel.
Anyway… today the couple Sun/Moon is trying to replace the previous couple Sun/Earth in people’s mind. I am asking you to ponder why it is so.
As I mentioned in my above post where I say '...to take over half the suffrage of the electorate', I mean that it seems like the switch toward a 'newly' fabricated concept and representation of the moon as a feminine entity which is usurping Earth as the main feminine figure, has the purpose of wanting to get all women on Earth to identify with the Moon. It seems to be working! But just think about it. If Moon gets all the women on Earth to side with her by pretending to represent them, that is a lot of human beings and a great deal of mind power for the Moon. Put in the addition the fact that women are naturally psychic and, this gives even more power away to the Moon.
The Moon is far more than a mere symbol. For the majority (with a few exceptions) still living in 3d, human beings are still powerless when confronted by 4d STS forces. They still require the constant aid, protection and invisible support given by our friends from the 4d STO realm.
It is without prejudice that I would like to offer these few points to everyone's reflection for pondering.
3d being the place and moment of choice, I wish all a good path.
Take care all.
