| With the encouragement of her wise teacher, the Oldest Dragon, she enters the Time-Stream and joins the dragons of long ago. To me this is symbolic of my being directed by the Truth Teachings and further discovering the beliefs and patterns that have been part of my foundation for living. I have examined how I was raised as a child and what beliefs were prevalent during those times; and I have discovered the unknown of my own self. Brianna did the same. Much to her excitement, she discovered that the First Era Dragons were Water Dragons and had no consciousness of fire! She dared to enter their Great Lac and fly in the water with them. Much to her delight and amazement, she discovered that there, in the waters, the Dragons did thought-merge, that they did experience the Union of One. That experience caused me to reflect and then realize that within the old teachings were Truths and that I needn’t “throw the baby out with the bath water.” When she united with them, they became aware of her. That is, when she united within the Wholeness of All, she became One with her own heritage. Within that union, the water dragons became aware of fire. Why? Because Brianna was a Fire Dragon. She was awake to the cause and effect of fire upon the land, she breathed fire. She knew of the cyclical destruction of the entire Glarian by the Great Wall of Fire. She had been prying at the secrets of the ending of dragons and the subsequent beginnings within a new era. Within the merging with the Water Dragons came their awakening to fire. It wasn’t until later in the story that the Water Dragons’ awareness of Fire not only changed their manner of living, but completed the long cyclical demise through fire and then birthing into the same patterns again and again. I began to realize the importance of embracing the history of who I AM, of discovering the Truths within my own Divine Heritage, and of venturing forth with the entirety of who I AM. When I merge with All of that which I AM, I automatically embrace my heritage and the Truths that have always been. In the story, right at the moment of daring to challenge the Cyclical Fires of Demise, Brianna reaches back into the First Era and gathers her Water Dragons. Together they challenge the Flames. I’ve thought about that and what that really means to me. She gathered the wondrous innocence of her heritage, the innocence merged with the awakened state, and ventured forth in wholeness. The innocence didn’t make her vulnerable. She wasn’t incomplete without her Water Dragon Heritage. She was, however, more complete with it. She was More of who she was. That’s the way I feel about this new life. I have stepped from the old cyclical demise, wherein again and again I struggle along and progress toward a better way. When I realized that I’d had enough of the struggle and “making do with less while keeping a positive attitude”, something happened. I realized that my innocence was taking a beating from my sleepy efforts to live within Truth. When I gather my innocence and venture forth into this amazing new realm, I dare to be fulfilled. Now one might wonder why daring would be necessary. The truth is, I only knew fulfillment within the struggle. You know, like driving my old battered, held-together-with-tape-and-positive-thoughts car to a workshop and celebrating that I made it. When I decided to say “no” to that kind of living, I dared to open to the mystery, the seeming unknown. Which unknown? The one of experiencing fulfillment within joy and delight – and most of all, ease of living. Brianna had no idea her adventures would change not only her life, but those of her past. Those dragons of her past were her old thoughts, the unknown heritage of the sleep state upon which she lived. She was awake and she was facing the oncoming Rage of Fire, the Cyclical Demise of All Dragons. There had to be a better way. There was. In writing the Story of the Dragons, again and again I have been inspired to dare to live my life, or better stated, dare to Live My Life in a way that says no to sleep and yes to really living. Brianna’s discovery of Truth led the entire population (the entire belief system) to freedom; my discovery of Truth (the truth that I was still struggling) has led me to dare to choose a different way. I’m still choosing Truth, still discovering, and still embracing innocence. It’s the greatest, isn’t it? Dare to be innocent… and awake; dare to be gentle… and strong; dare to know the Truth and Live within it. To me this spells Divine Fulfillment unfolding evermore. |
Reflections...
While writing Dragon Fire, I began to realize that the story
wasn’t only about Dragons, but was about dragons with an
amazingly advanced consciousness! As the adventures in each
chapter unfolded, I felt a yearning to experience the way they
lived and further wished that we humans could “get it,” could
realize that together we can do anything.
It was the Time-Stream explorations of an adventurous
Dragon named Brianna that caught my attention during a
morning meditation. As I reflected on that small part of the entire
story, I also identified with my own life. It wasn’t only Brianna’s
sheer joy of adventure, but more so, that adventure and
discovery were in the very fabric of who she was. I feel that way
about my own life and have chuckled at the reasons for my love
of mysteries: the excitement and delight of continually awakening
to more of the Truth.
In the story, Dragon Fire – Secrets of the Last Dragons,
Brianna journeys back into the First Era where she discovers
dragons quite different from herself. Her first startling discovery
was that they were not linked in the wholeness of Thought-
Merging, which was the natural way of her life within her Glarian
(Dragon population).
