COSMIC DISINTEGRATION IN THE BLOOD OF TWILIGHT

“[Rasa] is sometimes explained by Indian Sanskrit dramatic theorists as the feeling successfully conveyed from the heart of the poet through his mind and words to the sa-hrdaya, or the reader with a sympathetic heart.” - Swami B. V. Tripurari

Pisces (12th House) is the breadth of the Void, Scorpio (8th House) is the Abyss, a robust heave into the chthonic crimson—where soul mutation or metamorphosis ensues. We are marking distinction between the Abyss (Below) and the Void (Beyond), though each opens entry to the other. Pisces is the “Elevator Lady” who aims to levitate you; Scorpio mirrors the “Scarlet Thing in You,” coming to know you, by snaking your infernal regions.  

Water is a mystical, creative and potentially ‘treacherous’ element. Cosmically, the Sea of the Goddess consumes defunct universes by Mouth, and bears new forms from Womb. If we examine function of water in nature, we observe it carries intelligence, it holds consciousnesses. Alchemically, water behaves in a similar fashion. Water persons (womb) can hold the spectral emanations of another being, and even transform ‘into them’ with grace, cadence and fluidity; alchemically twirling and intertwining. Instead of merely projecting outwardly, persons with less ego attachment [have potential to] perceive and even become the ‘other.’ Here, Shakti shapeshifts and unifies, however ephemerally. This is the (‘light sided’) essence of water—to transmit, to embrace, to amalgamate—to stream cinemas in the Sea of the Heart.

“I fly up to Heaven and alight upon earth and mine eye turneth back towards the traces of my footsteps. I am the offspring of yesterday. The caverns of the earth have given me birth, and I am revealed at my appointed time.”  --Florence Farr
