The Moon and the Ego

The full moon brings many energies that explore our consciousness with or without permission. As each night approaches and the moon becomes fuller and fuller, pregnant with life; it seems our inner souls, the depth and mind within begins to struggle with emptiness. Which will win in this rapid and forceful battle of wills? The ego rises and the Moon quiets the suffering. The ego sees itself as drowning and resists and pushes, a delivery of pain every time. The Moon, the mother that she is, smiles and calmly reminds. She gently reinforces the truth and removes the ego from the self. What remains is a being of emptiness that represents all. And this glimpse of wisdom enlightenment and peace is enough to crave more and try again.
