Purification: Third Part.

It is ironic that Pisceans are associated with Illusion, and that by extension they are associated with Media. Often a Piscean would treat Media as THOUGH it were an illusion, even as an other person turns that horrid nightmare into a reality. So who is really responsible for the Illusion? It is the other person that becomes so lost in the dream that it becomes real…

It is quite probable that the first person whom I confided in after the treachery of Tapeworm was in fact LUIS, an other Scorpio. Luis ironically was the one who first showed me the way to Kettle Coffee.

Rafael was ungrateful for Kettle. He made use of it but never thanked me, even after the Treachery of Tapeworm. He might have reciprocated my trust with gratitude and with trustworthiness, knowing when to stop asking and to thank. But some minds can only confuse insubordination with treachery. Is it any surprise when they turn treacherous and feel totally justified? Their very attempts to justify the actual treachery underscore the pettiness of their original frustrations. A TRUE treachery is not against a person. It is against an IDEAL. But I have served the Ideal for so long that people have come to expect it. So when I find a higher ideal it comes off as a stab in the back. But one needs only to study them closely to see that they do not rise from Ideal to Greater Ideal, but rather sink into lower and lower levels of self-interested depravity, competitive angst, and Control.

Scorpios tend to be more in love with fiction as an end in and of its self than Pisceans are; when a Piscean engages in fantasy, it all ways is supposed to relate to the World in a thematic, Universal way of breathtaking profundity. Most Piscean writers tend towards realism, even the Romantic Victor Hugo.

In a Scorpio’s presence, by contrast, every thing becomes somewhat lurid and surreal. The hues are exaggerated. The extremes are all too common. The human being is tempted to become totally absorbed in the Illusion of the Manifest World. Scorpio rules sex. What is more illusory than that? Tantra describes it as a total involvement in Maya.
