Painted by Ware, this mural is a real bomb of energy.
Altough it was realised for a contract
and therefore does not hold a specific message, it was the starting point for the following short writing
on the general symbolic of the dragon.
Alot of young people nowadays have enough energy to change the whole face of the earth if they put their efforts into it ! Unfortunatly, they often lack the Ideal, the luminous occupation which could focus all their strengths towards something really useful. They are rich, but since the models which society puts before them do not really reflect their deepest aspirations, they do not know where to invest.
Well, they could work at becoming truly exceptionnal beings, real models which the world greatly needs. They could become the true examples to follow, even for the adults !
Unlike what we usually think, Saints, Geniuses, Prophets, Initiates and well, all formidable beings are not void of defaults and instincts. The forces of the dragon (symbolicly) are also very vivid within them ! The only difference between them and us, is that they are so engaged in their incredible inner work, so occupied by their spiritual Ideal and their desire to materialise something beautiful on their Earth (their being) and on the planet Earth, that all their defaults are transformed into qualities.
They turn lead into gold and since all of their actions tend towards the achievement of their sublime Ideal, their well irrigated Earth becomes fertile. They become like trees which their roots, being under the Earth, permit growth and the creation of delicious fruits which all can nourish themselves with and flourish.
For example, if they were timorous; pushed by the desire of bettering themselves and realising that the limitations which their shyness and fears brought them were really obstacles, they develep audacity and courage more then anyone else ! If they were easily angred, they turn their insatisafctions towards themselves and become models of justice and uprightness and will have a good impact on their surrondings. If they were gouverned by sensuality, they will learn to develop sublime love for all creatures. If they were weak and unstable, they are now determined and strong!
Beethoven would have never found the necessary materials within himself to compose his incredibly beautiful masterpeice, the 9th synphony (Ode to Joy), had he not been deaf ! Ghandi, who used to be a very simple lawyer, could have never helped the whole of India had he not been thrown out of a train during his youth ! Einstein could never have tought of the theory of relativity had he had both of his feet on the earth ! Churchill could have never defended the whole of Britain had he not been as stuborn as a mule ! Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov could have never given illuminating conferences everyday of his life, and that for 45 years, had his hearth not been profondly sensitive, even suffering, towards the planteray condition ! The examples are many !
The reality of things is that Saints are not devoid of negative tendencies, they are people like you and me, that have simply learned to transform the raw materials of their lower nature, their inner dragons, into something useful to all beings !
They have chosen the path of self-mastery, and are no longer slaves to their weaknesses, but rather, the true conquerors of their inner freedom, and the liberators of the chains of many others !
