Sun and Moon

Imagine the earth without the sun...
Without the sun, there would be no light.
Without the sun, there would be no warmth.
Without the sun, there would be no plants, no animals, no humans.

Imagine the earth without the moon...
Without the moon, the gravitational force would be altered.
Without the moon, the axial tilt would be varied.
Without the moon, temperatures would be extreme, lunar tides would be gone, days would be short.

As the sunlight illuminating the moon disappears,
so would the moon before our eyes as we see the moon only because of the sun's reflected light.

Imagine a person without the sun...
Without the sun, there would be no soul purpose.
Without the sun, there would be no core identity.
Without the sun, there would be no self expression.

Imagine a person without the moon...
Without the moon, there would be no emotional energies
Without the moon, there would be no instinctual motivations
Without the moon, there would be no way to receive love

We need our sun to reflect our moon.
We need our conscious to reveal our unconscious.
We need our life force to guide our inner self.

The yin meets the yang through which we reemerge as whole.
