George Gurdjieff is a curious figure related to theosophy and those kind of things, while reading one of his books I came across a rather curious statement about the moon.
The link does not link to the actual quote, this is it: [NEW YORK, MARCH 1, 1924
Question about the moon
Answer: The moon is man’s big enemy. We serve the moon. Last time you heard about kundabuffer. Kundabuffer is the moon’s representative on earth. We are like the moon’s sheep, which it cleans, feeds and shears, and keeps for its own purposes. But when it is hungry it kills a lot of them. All organic life works for the moon. Passive man serves involution; and active man, evolution. You must choose. But there is a principle: in one service you can hope for a career; in the other you receive much but without a career. In both cases we are slaves, for in both cases we have a master. Inside us we also have a moon, a sun and so on. We are a whole system. If you know what your moon is and does, you can understand the cosmos.

I am not supporting this idea, just thought it's curious.
