We all encounter reflections from the moon pool in dreams; some dreams arise from our individual consciousness, while others are reflections of inhabitants or energies of the greater lunar world. It is in this realm that the much maligned and misunderstood 'astral plane' of popular occultism is found.The dimensions between the Moon & the Earth are said to be occupied by 'daemones'. These communicating entities who may just as humans, do good or ill. Many of the dead ends and follies of popular occultism are related to this concept, but a clarification & definition of such entities in modern practice provides genuine instruction and interaction. The daemon or 'advising entity' as described by Socrates, is a classic example of proper form & function of such entities; which is quite different from either the medieval 'demon' or the confused modern notion of 'spirit guide'.
Initial teachers of transformative arts & spiritual wisdom are encountered in the Lunar World; during later stages of developments of consciousness such teachers may disappear or transform into new contacts. (R J Stewart)
