When I was a baby, my father often left me in the bedroom with snakes. He had many of them throughout his life. They did not harm me. I have always wondered about my special affinity to snakes, as to why they did not harm me, and at the same time feeling attracted to the Bible which seems to demonize the Serpent. I have learned that is in fact a lie.
The name Phaedron means Wisdom in Greek. I first heard of it as the character king Phaedron from an episdoe of Hercules. I'm doing this now, because I'm still on a journey of self discovery and finding myself.
My father once told me I was baptized by nature (Father sky, Ouronos rainbow serpent) when a single drop of rain fell on my forehead out of nowhere. I may return to this thread about myself at some point, but I mainly want to show you things form the site I recently found:
"If one knows beyond any doubt that one is of the Dragon Blood, then the doors to the infinite can be opened wide. The planet needs its Elves and Fairies back, so the saying goes. It needs the people for whom order and empathy come instinctively and whose love of the natural world comes before all else and arises spontaneously from the depths of their eternal souls. Above all the planet needs its Firstborn Dragons to know who they are themselves." -- Nicholas de Vere
"The dragon represents Transcendental Consciousness. The word 'dragon' in Greek is drakon (drakon); as in edrakon (edrakon), an aorist of derkesthai (derkesthai), which means 'to see clearly'. A dragon was one who saw clearly, and clarity of vision engendered and was always classically associated with wisdom, which itself produced power. Today we say that knowledge is power, so nothing has changed in that respect, except that it is actually wisdom - the ability to predict or intuit and synthesize knowledge - a prerequisite of druidic or fairy neurophysiology, that actually affords the greatest power of all." -- Author Unknown
"The Dragon is the universal energetic field, slumbering at the center of the Universe. A hidden Dragon sleeps within our deep nature and guides our collective destiny. Virtual and electromagnetic waves bathe all things in this radiation, in their motion. Through miniscule perturbations, waves can change to forms and images that can speak, becoming voices that can be heard by our sensitive energy bodies, feeding on biophotonic light. Transformed to vision and dreams they produce presentiments in us. We learn to see through our Dragon Eyes." -- IAuthor Unknown
The prime paradigm of each era is that of its Age. Our story can only be understood against the vast backdrop of the archetype of Eternal Return: the Great Cycle of Precession which changes world Ages, but not without catastrophic growing pains. The Dragon remains unchanging at the heart of this process. Earth wants an answer to Chaos, and it may be We Dragons. The axiom "As Above, So Below" means Earth's sacred Dragon Clan mystically connects with the Dragon, the "Infinite Nothing" at the center of the Universe. Society is recalibrated from this cosmic zero-point -- an Archaic Renaissance begins the Great Cycle anew, and Earth once again knows the Dragon's footprint.
The Dragon symbolizes the universal ether as the fundamental light frequency or form of ‘pure energy’. All other forms of energy are a modification of this primal energy, creating the impression of a concrete physical world, along with the astral impressions of the imagination, and the various sensations and perceptions that accompany human existence. It appears that reality has two aspects: the underlying field continuum, and the nature of the form perceived in it. The mere probability of measurable particle level asymmetry remaining beyond the Big Bang suggests that antimatter may be significantly influencing brain dynamics and conscious mind states.
The Asian Dragon represents chi, or universal prana, feeding on dragon energy. The Dragon is also connected with the serpent of wisdom, the dynamic energy connecting the paths of the tree of life, and sometimes depicted in myth as swallowing the sun or moon during eclipses. It is also related to the kundalini in another context. In one sense, the "central" constellation Draco is the personification of Nuit, and infinite space itself. Ananta, the great serpent which surrounds the Universe, devours its own tail, thereby reducing it to Zero.
