To whose temple the Arch is starlit, In whose temple the Sun is the image of gold, To whose temple the Moon goes every month And brings the message out every full-moon, And whose message the Moon sings as a word of sixteen letters, His religion I belong to, His temple I visit, His name I utter, His glory I live in. To Him I offer the lotus of my day, To Him I offer the lotus of my night. These seed thoughts from the Spiritual Psychology meditations of Dr. Ekkirala Krishnamacharya give the note for the Lunar Messenger of the Circle of Good Will. The moon is the reflective principle and symbol of the mind. When pure and calm, it reflects impressions from higher circles. Especially the time of the full moon is conducive for higher alignment, if we are poised enough. The alignment of the sun, moon and earth in the sky helps experiencing the magic of the light of the soul and its manifestation down to the physical. The Lunar Messenger is published every month in time for the full moon. It contains thoughts from the teachings of eternal wisdom. Its purpose is to inspire us to put them into practical life.
If we go emotionally into the full moon, we cannot experience its magic. If we are in hyper-activity, we miss the full moon. If we are in inertia, we sleep it away; it simply does not exist for us. Only when we are balanced and our minds are still, there is the inner transparency which would enable the reflection of the solar light as lunar light upon the seven tissues of the body. Being aligned to the full moon does not mean that we indulge in some glamour about its importance or that we are in a curious expectance. We also should not put aside our normal work and try to do special exercises on this day. On the contrary, we should be totally normal as far as possible. Anything extra is no longer normal. This happens to most of the wellmeaning disciples when they attune strongly to the full moon or to some astrological field. We should simply hold the awareness in us that it is full moon but not attune to it excessively. The intellect should be normal so that we can experience the presence with the coolness of intuition. We can consciously cool down emotional and mental waves in us with a visualisation so that our minds are like a calm surface of a lake or a silver plate on which the moonlight reflects itself. We can visualise the full moon as a silver disk on the forehead and ourselves as a lake filled with moonlight, like a clear mountain lake. We drink the radiant light into ourselves and are all filled with it. In Occult Meditation Nr. 16 it says: Moon is silver. I AM the lake. Lake is moonlight, I AM healed. I AM silver. In me the moonbeam awakes. I AM moonlight. In me the Sun is sealed. Silver stands for the moon and helps us to calm down a mental excited by fear; for this we can drink water which was kept overnight in a silver cup or use silver, argentum nitricum, homeopathically. The stillness of nature also helps us to calm down the mental.
The full moon itself is then the culmination of the experience. On the full moon day the obstacles between our ether and the ether of the surrounding space are mostly removed and the doors opened. The outer etheric plane is in direct contact with the inner etheric plane. Thus, we are in contact with the etheric bodies of others because in reality the etheric body is not in us, but we are floating in the ether of space and something of the ether is also in ourselves. We experience that our etheric body is not our property but is the etheric body. So in full moon meditation we can float from our own etheric body into the ocean of ether that surrounds our earth, and thus miracles can happen.
Sublime Contacts
Since the Masters of Wisdom live with the etheric body more than with the other lower bodies the possibility to make a contact with these high beings is much more on a full moon day than on another day. We can connect to them with meditation and prayers. We can think of Sanat Kumara, Buddha, Maitreya and all the other Masters of Wisdom of which we have heard. We only need to close our eyes and think of them and we are already on the Buddhic plane. This way we can attain a state within two or three days for which normally ten years of practice is needed. In this we use the creative power of imagination and we achieve an unconscious connection with them. We can imagine that we come into the ashram of a master, knock at the door and see that the door is opened. Then we say hello to the other side. There is no structured imagination or a strict discipline. We can work with an inspiration, but there should not be a rule for a group derived from it. What is important is to connect ourselves with the awareness every day, and more so at the times of full moon. And we should observe the events in our surroundings and on the planet and consciously work on it with our thoughts to neutralise conflicts. This is an important healing work. Sources: K.P.

Etheric Experiences
The higher purpose of the meditation for full moon is to attain radiant etheric bodies. The full moon gives us the etheric currents which develop the etheric body in us when we align ourselves correctly. For this we should also prepare our physical bodies on that day by eating less solid and more liquid food. If we work for years in tune with the time we can realize the full moon point in us and feel the changes in the body without looking at the calendar.
