Let us explore The Dark Satellite to understand our world a little bit.
When we look about us with the physical senses, Nature seems to be in continual warfare with Herself. In fact, it seems utterly impossible to find anything not in deadly conflict with something else. Observing this, mankind unconsciously, from time immemorial formulated the idea of two great powers the “good” and the “evil.” From this idea the grand dogma of all theology God” and the “Devil” sprang into existence. It soon became the chief cornerstone of every sacerdotalism which the world has witnessed.
While there is some basic truth in this idea as in every popular conception, it has its false premises as well. Mankind as a whole cannot formulate any idea which is wholly and absolutely false in every detail. Yet owing to the fact that man, while existing upon the material plane, cannot grasp the Divine idea of absolute Truth, nor realize the logical absurdity of more than one Absolute.
He, therefore, utterly fails to comprehend how that which is relative evil can be harmonized into an Absolute Good.
To the majority of mankind this mighty problem of good and evil is still unsolved. But a few a very few indeed of the profoundly learn students of Occult lore have arrived at a true conception of the subject.
Countless legends and allegories have evolved, during the lapse of the ages. These embody the facts and the processes connected with this great arcane of mystery, but the metaphysics of these legends has never been revealed, to the uninitiated. Especially this is the case in regard to the dark Satellite. However, the time has now come when certain facts in regard to this orb of evil may be given to the world for the first time.
In the first place, certain misconceptions in regard to this dark orb need to be corrected. Many an earnest student have thought it to be “The Lost Orb” of the Grecian mysteries. This would make it similar to the Egyptian conception of the spiritual “fall. But, there is in fact no connection between the two at all.
Another misconception has regarded the Moon as identical with the dark orb. Many assert, in a very mysterious manner, the Moon is not only the eighth sphere, or the orb of death and dissolution, but it is “the dust bin of the universe.” This conception is radically false as regards the Moon. It approaches the realm of truth in some respects regarding the nature of the mysterious Dark Satellite itself
With these brief remarks it now is possible to point out a perfectly correct conception of what this Dark Satellite is and also to understand its fearful importance at the present crisis in the world’s history
During the Golden and Silver Ages of our Earth’s evolution, This Dark Satellite was in the aphelion of its orbit and then its influence was scarcely felt. Its influence then was seen and recognized in its true relation of animal force and undeveloped good. As a factor of evil it was still imperceptible. But during the Copper and Iron Ages the orb gradually approached the Earth, and its dark shadows became more and more bewildering and more potent until the year 1881. Then it passed its grand perihelion point. It is now slowly but surely receding, and although the clouds re not completely lifted from the mental horizon, the fact is the fearful conflict which occurred at the perihelion is over.
