Working with awareness of the spiritual flow of energy can help us make best use of the opportunities presented by the moon's phases.
During the first half of the lunar cycle-from new to full moon- the available energies are growing, intensifying, and absorbing, while in the second half-full to new moon- they are assimilating, consolidating and distributing qualities.
It's like sowing the seeds during the new moon phase and then reaping the harvest after the full moon phase.
By observing this cyclic law we can make more progress with our meditation by aligning our attunement, visualisation, thoughts and actions, with the flow of spiritual energies.
This helps to prevent emotional, mental and psychical congestions of energy with its effect in the physical body.

Triangles is a service activity for men and women of goodwill who believe in the power of thought. Working in groups of three, they establish right human relationships by creating a worldwide network of light and goodwill.

We have been in your theaters and We see little need for them. Song, colour and sound must not be shut up in artificial hot-houses. These values must accompany life, anonymously surrounding people with the caress of beauty.
New Era Community, Sutra 180

The thunderbolts of the gods were cosmic in nature, taking forms never presented by regional lightning.
Lightning familiar to us today is but a reminder, a symbol of the divine thunderbolt that altered the history of the world.
