Monica Sjoo, The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth

“The immortality promised by the ‘moon goddess’ was not a state of perfection or stasis in eternal light. She offers an ever-renewed life, like the moon’s own, in which diminishing and dying are as essential to spirit growth as birth and becoming. Her “redemption” is not from “sin” and matter, but from mental traps that block the self from its source. It is union of the opposites within the psyche which brings release from the final power of death, which allows consciousness to pulsate from one dimension to another in the cosmic field. This is the only “redeeming” experience.”
