the Earth, the Moon has no direct organic links with the Sun. Being a satellite, it is

directly dependent on its planet and it is only through the latter that it enters into
contact with the Sun. One of its main roles is to reflect solar energy on to the surface of

the Earth, in a modified form however, because of the reflection. A qualitative and a

quantitative variation takes place also, according to the phases. But these changes do

not prevent the continuity of the reverberation, due to the fact that the Moon offers
always the same surface to the Earth, as its rotations on itself and around our planet are

of equal duration.

The Ray of Creation to which the human species belongs is, therefore, still unfinished.

Organic life and man in particular has not attained that point of growth and

development where the interval between FA and MI of the Great Octave will be

perfectly filled up and where this fact will entail the following two consequences: the
vivification of the Earth at the MI stage, and the quickening of the Moon at the note RE

by the energy proceeding from Absolute I. In this final operation, it is essential to note

the combined play of the octaves, the flux, union and reflux; and, in the creative

operation, at the level of the interval, the synergy of the forces proceeding from the
Protocosmos and the Deuterocosmos. If the clearance takes place, the Earth will

receive, according to St. John, grace for grace , since the energy it will receive from the
Great Octave and the lateral octave at the same time, that is from Absolute I and

Absolute II simultaneously, will be
