This morning, on 6/30/21,
the Moon swings by
Neptune and Athena, center
stage in Pisces. She pops
popcorn, and pages Vesta
as she rotates, watching
the two roil in the Ocean.
Vesta sees her pager
blip on the desk,
in her Lighthouse, in Virgo.
She steps out, clasping
the railing, to speak
with Lunita.
“So, Lunita, what’s the
latest drama, over there,
in the depths of things?”
“Well, V, Neptune and Athena
have found the place where
their polarities connect.
They are on
either side of this
THRESHOLD where IMAGINING
CONSENSUAL REALITY,
and MIND CONTROL, meet.”
“FASCINATING, Lunita,
tell me more.”
“Well, basically, everyone
is a LUNATIC, living
in their own illusions, but
SOME MINDS are MORE
controlled, and creatively
POWERFUL. We call it
ARTISTRY, but it can also be
CRUELTY. Any Way you cut it,
it depends upon one being
PARTICULARLY PERCEPTIVE,
with an ENJOYMENT
for SHAPING things.
It’s a MANIPULATIVE SKILL
picked up as children
by those with UNPREDICTABLE
keepers. You may be
using it, whether you are
CONSCIOUS of it, or not.
The co-dependent NARCISSIST
may not even know how
they are playing in a game
they CANNOT WIN, until
they LOSE everything.”
“That sounds fucking scary.”
“It is a grooming that can
happen unconsciously,
over decades, or centuries,
through ancestry.
It’s a SEXY, SUBTLE,
‘Buffy the Vampire
Slayer’, kind of DANGEROUS.
Resist the desire
to save your vampires.
That’s how CULTS are formed,
and pretty much our whole
SOCIETY. To get out means
to be rejected; to leave
an over-culture. Sometimes,
you must be TRICKED,
to DERAIL an ancient
GROOVE. Here’s to hoping
the sociopaths you PRAY to
are benevolent. You see,
it only takes two people
to begin to FORM
a CONSENSUAL reality.
This is where mind control
tips into IMAGINABLE power.”
“Yes, and one mind
must always be leading.”
“Could be, V, but
you could also play
a spiraling game of LEAP-
FROG. The SCALES only exist when
you are still BLIND
to the FACT you are being
LED, and your COUNTERPART is
TRACKING you, 13 moves ahead,
WAITING
to fuck you
up. Without awareness,
you aren’t ACTUALLY playing.
You are ENSLAVED to a compulsion,
you are not sure
why you are FOLLOWING.
You are offering up
your mind for control,
out of habit, reacting
to phantom triggers.
The desire for collision
is pretty much always
bedded in a POWER
dynamic, ROOTED in the ways
one remembers LOVELESSNESS,
as a CHILD, and how we are
TAUGHT to MANIPULATE and
BETRAY our own ENERGY,
for SURVIVAL.”
“But don’t play the victim.
Lunita, FREE WILL is
for claiming.
One just has to be
willing to face free will,
even if it LEAVES ONE ALONE
and loveless.”
“Yes, Vesta, and if
there is one activity
the MIND OF MINDS adores
to TEACH us, it’s that
we will die if we do not
seek LOVE where it is
not forthcoming. We get
addicted to inversions.
You will go through
WITHDRAWAL, when you leave
one. But DEATH is a PHASE.
You pass through the portal.
You ALWAYS live again,
you just die FIRST.
It only takes two
ADULTS, to BEGIN CREATING
a CONSENSUAL REALITY.”
“So what’s the take away?”
“I think they need
new play partners,
and it’s okay.
Some endings just taste
of brine, and barnacles.”
