Men and the Moon
abracad, · Categories: in the newsThe BBC reported recently that extra police officers are to be deployed in Brighton at full moon. A police spokesperson is reported as saying "Research carried out by us has shown a correlation between violent incidents and full moons."
This story gives scientific credibility to the ancient belief that we are influenced by heavenly bodies in general and the moon in particular, most notably expressed in the legend of the werewolf.
The lesson is that we should be open minded about a whole range of things that affect us that we can't yet explain. Human beings are complex things as is the environment we exist in. By being a bit more humble about our understanding we will be better able to progress scientifically and Spiritually.
