Moon Cycles as Reflections of Our Soul's Growth

These moon cycles are really teachings for our soul.
The moon symbolizes the rhythmic journey of our soul's growth.
We receive and reflect the light of Source, then going within, taking time to reflect in darkness,
         and then, becoming visible, we are reflected in the light.
There is always this dependable pattern:
         receiving and taking in, integrating and reflecting out.
What we are taking in is Light.
Light, symbolizing the good that is ALL of Creation, us included.

Self-Reflection:  I am a receiver of the light of Creation.  I reflect what I am able to receive.

Rhythms Within in Rhythms, Cycles WIthin Cycles

In all spiritual teachings, the naming and claiming of Truth leads the followers toward the Divine One, toward Love.  The role of moon cycles and rhythms in the rhythm of 'being' are also woven through these traditions. All spiritual teachings, include teachings on the seasons and rhythms of life. The teachings around the cycles of the moon are interpreted to be creative and building in the first half of the cycle, up to the full moon, and dismantling and releasing in the waning aspects of the moon. To be healthy and thrive, we must learn to work with these smaller rhythms that are within the larger rhythm of our life; being aware of the natural tendency to be reflective and inspiring during the first two weeks, and be more actively expressive and letting go what no longer serves us, in the last two weeks of the cycle.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3

Self Reflection: In this cycle to Honor Truth,  how can I honor my own rhythms?  How can I come to know my rhythms more clearly?
