THE WEAVE:

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.”
