The Moon
The moon was seen under the feet of the High Priestess just as the spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophets. Here again we see what can sometimes be the reflected glory and mystery of God's hidden plan revealed through dreams, visions, and the promptings of His Spirit.
Now we see as in a dark mirror, spiritual gifts of knowledge and wisdom, prophesy and revelation, sacred parables and ancient words passed down. But one day we will see clearly, face to face as in the brightness of the noonday sun.
Now we see in part--images, symbols, types, and myths--but then we will fully know, no longer needing to test every spirit, no longer to be deceived by possible illusion, deception, or angels of false light.
From the mystical waters where the crab here crawls and where animals howl instinctually, the path leads through the two pillars to the blue mountains of heaven and light falls in the shape of Yod, flickers of God's very name.
Spiritual things are spiritually discerned, yet in these dim reflections, darkness hides God's lovely face.
Do not despise prophesies or intimations of immortality.
But test everything.
