Looking back and pondering the early years of our human history, it seems doubtful that there was ever a human society that did not deify the Moon.  In some traditions the light of the Moon was associated with things occult and evil. In others the light of the Moon was associated with healing and a providential light in the otherwise pitch black of the night. Many cultures used the Moon to keep track of  time and the change in the seasons. It seems certain that a great deal of time and effort went into tracking its cycles and movement across the sky. The dramatic beauty of the Moon has also often been used as a metaphor for romance, birth, death, and  the regular cycles of changes in  things in general.

The teaching of the Reason of Heaven instructs us to ponder, in all matters, the truth that this universe is the body of God and that all human beings are things lent by God. What, we might ask, is there about the Moon that could inform us in this matter?  Well, in the discussion so far there isn't much of anything. Birth, death, changing appearances all seems to point to a multiplicity. There is however one crucial fact concerning the Moon that we haven't mentioned. The origin of "Moonlight". Ponder this; the Moon does not have its own light. There is no such thing as Moonlight. The light of the Moon is borrowed from the Sun. It is just Sun light reflected.

Take a moment and reflect on the teachings of the Reason of Heaven. It is taught that human beings are things borrowed and that  illness, weakening and death do not in truth exist. They are, like the changing phases of the Moon, only appearances that depend for their dramatic power upon maintaining the point of view that does not know the truth of origin.

It seems to me that the name Moonsun is the perfect metaphor for the truth of any and everything. All that appears to be mortal and change as well as the unchanging immortal truth of origin delivered in a single name.

We might wonder however why Moonsun, being one, all and everything, even needs a name as there is no one else to talk to? That is to be sure yet another topic for pondering.
