Believe in the Moon?

Faith is the act of believing in something beyond ourselves, and it is crucial to the health of our energy system.

Our heart chakra, the center of our energy system, receives about half of its required energy from our crown chakra, which is located at the top of our head. This crown chakra governs our connection to faith. For many, this connection is represented as a belief in God, or an understanding that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves.

In a world full of contrast it can often be hard to hold unwavering faith and it often leads us to questioning our beliefs. It can be difficult to hold onto faith which, for the most part, is intangible. When this happens, it can feel like we are lonely, sad, and confused.

There is a simple exercise that can help us hold our faith by keeping our crown chakra open and connected. This is to simply focus on something bigger than ourselves — something that we know we can believe in.

Do you believe in the moon?

For centuries humans gazed at the moon in the night sky and wondered if it was real. In this analogy of faith, we consider that it takes a certain amount of belief beyond ourselves to accept the existence of the moon. Most of us have never been to the moon; we have not touched it, heard it, or even smelled it. We have probably never even met an astronaut!

There is a good chance that most of our personal moon experiences have only been visual. Nearly our entire perspective of the moon is through only one of our senses. We have seen the stages of the moon from crescent to full. We have witnessed the moon rise and set. We may have even viewed the moon through a telescope and seen the craters on its surface.

In addition to this, we have a secondary experience of the moon: we know other people who share our singularly visual knowledge of the moon. A LOT of people have seen the moon; and they, too, believe in the moon.

We also have many demonstrations of the moon, through the ebbs and flows of the ocean tides, the recurrence of the female fertility cycle, and even the instinctive howling of coyotes when the moon is full.

Some of us have more proof than others. Astronauts have gone to the moon. Scientists have collected moon rocks and measured the moon’s mass, gravity, and speed.

All of these experiences validate the existence of the moon and give credibility to our faith that the moon is real, but . . .

Truth is relative.

Over the course of history, many beliefs about the moon have come and gone. It has been said that the moon is made of cheese. Some have claimed that the moon landing was filmed in a Hollywood basement. There are those who think rabbits or aliens live on the moon.

And . . .

Each of these beliefs is correct; faith is relative. There is no such thing as wrong or right. Our beliefs are our own unique perspective of the universe as we experience it. Each of us has our own perspective. And, regardless of others’ beliefs . . .

We can choose our beliefs.

I see faith as something that is as fluid as a waterfall. We stand beneath a faith waterfall at all times — just as when we stand bathed in moonlight, or God’s Light! This waterfall is constantly flowing and cascading through our energy system.

The moon might not be the destination of our faith, but it can be an anchor to hold our faith steady. We can use the moon as a compass heading for our crown chakra. We can open this channel at the top of our head and build a connection between us and the moon.

Faith offsets the weight of being.

Experiencing faith is like breathing in moonlight — it is cooling, calming, and lifting. We allow the gravity of the moon to gently pull on us, so that this human experience on Earth is not so heavy. It helps us carry our burdens. It helps us to bear our pain and suffering.

When we are open to something bigger than ourselves, when we truly remove all resistance, we open the pathway of our crown chakra, and allow the flow of faith to constantly fill our hearts.

And . . . this waterfall is constantly replenishing and changing, and so are our faiths and beliefs.

We can change our beliefs.

No matter our beliefs, or how often we change them, it is important that we continue believing; that we always hold faith.

One day a scientist might discover that the moon is really a starbase, or is a holographic projection, and this might provide contrast to our version of truth.

We can be open to hearing evidence supporting another’s claims. We can listen to another’s truth without questioning our faith. We can also change our beliefs if these “new truths” resonate with us. We can expand our faith to include them.

In each new moment, we get to choose which truths line up with our vibration, which beliefs resonate with our path, and which actions we take in accordance to these.

We all have different experiences, filters, and conditioning that shape our reality. I can guarantee that your experience with the moon is different than mine. And no perspective is any more right or wrong than another. This universe is so amazing and so spectacular that we are all “correct”. Reality is relative; each of us has our own unique perspective of the same truth.

It does not matter what we believe in, only that we have faith that we are part of a bigger picture. Each piece of a jigsaw puzzle is equally as important as the next.

Everyone’s truth is valid.

All religions and philosophies are pieces of a larger truth. They are all saying the same thing, but from many different perspectives and from various points in time. We are all unique spirits having a human experience, and we are all equally valid in our truths. We are all integral and important pieces of the bigger picture.

As unique expressions of truth, we all have our own unique experiences within our faith.

The details of our faith are less important than the act of believing.

Keep believing.
