I had posted "this material" there, and "suddenly" it didn't fit anymore! (Oh no!!) As a result, this-here post in LL YellowWax was created from inspiration from the thoughts of member 'ShineYourLight' and Pearlty's poem on "Reality"....

204 Kallisto’s story is about vindication in spite of the craven acts of others.
It’s a complicated story – but essentially 'Kallisto vows to serve {{*}} Artemis' – ( she who we would call ‘emotional insight’) by remaining chaste. {{*}}

But Zeus (Jupiter) takes one look at the comely Kallisto, and perhaps because she doesn’t want to be ‘known’ (in the bliblical sense) he decides to take what he wants.

And after the rape, Zeus hides his bad behavior by transforming Kallisto into a bear – a beast to cover up his beastly act.

Several tragic scenes later 105 Artemis (=she of emotional insight) recognizes 'what’ has happened. And though she can’t undo that which Jupiter has done (we cannot ‘unring’ the bell of knowledge), the power of emotional insight (Artemis) mitigates the transformation by turning Kallisto into the constellation we know today as the Great Bear.

In other words – to put this in modern parlance, through terrible pain (or maybe in spite of all that suffering), Kallisto becomes a star.

As a main belt asteroid, Kallisto represents things we learn about as we go through daily life – and life as a whole. The degree of this station reveals to us the pluses and minus of how we use our ‘creative energy,’ with split being generally between being creative in life or pouring all that energy into sexuality. Life now shows us how well that is working for us.

MY COMMENTARY {{*}} Kallisto is dealing with an energy-charged emotional-mental aftermath. In this story she deals with the decision-making and processing of a deep trauma she sustained at the hands of an ego misusing his [Zeus] authority and violating boundaries.

After her essence (what she owned as personal property) and dignity of soul was soiled, personally-violated and attacked (raped), Kallisto must have felt a bad and awful flurry of terrifying confused feelings and reflections of powerlessness. Her mind and emotions resolve and try to adjust to these incongruent energies.

She gathered her subconscious action-power. She made an unconscious(?) shift in her perspective. Her inner-decision was a 'repressing' of her barely-processed trauma... She could not bear the shame of the times to report this to someone whom perhaps she felt would view her as less-valuable in the image of her Beloved, Artemis.

In this story, it was both a conscious and subconscious actionable shifting of her perspective. The rape re-defined "who" she was...(personally and culturally). Her soul and psyche needed to "retain" an essence of her dream for her life-- to house in her deepest sense "a future" that she hoped could come. Yet that original knowledge was bust. She could never "be" what was her inalienable right and goal to hold sacred.

In these moments of process for her, with a pared-down ability to cope with this life and future lost, her mind decided to passively re-direct from the area of wounding, yet maintain a symbol of the original strike-zone. The present-memory of the event would be fuzzed, yet still retain the unconscious remembrance-place. It was hidden symbolically in the gift of her private 'sexuality' (her core inner creativity).

The pre-violated self-image (of her mind) latched on to 'an ideal' or to a virtuous commodity that is imbedded in a self-image. In playing this role of slavery and servitude, she could change the 'locus of control' and own false notion that she had a power that could 'earn back' what was "innocence-lost"

The "image" of servitude has within it a power to make you a slave to it when pain holds it so far away from self-realization. The need psychologically to earn and restore (to oneself) a 'hope to cure' the wound. Her sense of dignity and nobility was sequestered and retained into an image of 'chasteness' (her innocence), while the "reality" behind the active sense of violation behind the wound is stripped-away from its origination-event. Repression and dissociation effectually puts a bumper or spacer between the what and the why of her noble decision...

She chooses to hide the fear and truth of her secret pain within her own mind, and she sublimates all this energy into an action of role-playing a non-violated servant (enslaved to forgotten active pain, forsaking her own needs) to an 'outside' other.

Artemis senses something happened and figures it out. Though this was also to his/her own grief, Artemis had compassion. Kallisto was elevated in the sight of Artemis.... Even though it was dark and night, Artemis placed her Above and not 'beneath' in esteem and value from her/his eyes of perspective.... Though it happened and both could not deny the fact of what happened, he/she nevertheless saw her Beauty that never wavered and was still intact.... and always in eternity to remain among the Stars!
