“The moon, as you know, is a shell, an ancient form through which the planetary Logos at one time sought expression. It is slowly disintegrating physically, but not astrally as yet, and is therefore still closely linked with the astral body of the planetary Logos, and therefore with the astral body of all people. Its influence is consequently more potent at the time of the full moon upon all who are unbalanced. p. 341.”

“The decay of a moon has as great an evil effect upon all that contacts it as a decaying body on earth has upon its surroundings. It is occultly "offensive" . . . The greatest effect of moon conditions is to be seen working out predominantly in the terror, and present distress in the animal kingdom. p. 795. Just as the moon is a deterrent or malefic force where the Earth is concerned, and productive of evil "influences", so all such disintegrating bodies are equally destructive. p. 837.”
“The internal fires of the moon are practically burnt out, and, therefore, she does not shine save through reflection, having no inner fire to blend and merge with light external. p. 60. What causes the apparent deadness of the moon? . . . Here we touch upon a hidden mystery, of which the solution lies revealed for those who seek, in the fact that human beings and certain groups of devas are no longer found on the moon. Man has not ceased to exist upon the moon because it is dead, and cannot therefore support his life, but the moon is dead because man and these deva groups have been removed from off its surface and from its sphere of influence. Man and the devas act on every planet as intermediaries, or as transmitting agencies. Where they are not found, then certain great activities become impossible, and disintegration sets in. p. 93.”
