I loved reading this! Interestingly, I just came across 2 dragons in material form and I surprised myself battling between which one to get. My mind has been obsessively looping over this for the past few hours. One is blue and looks exactly like the dragon I have been seeing in the invisible realm, the one guarding me and guiding me. The other is orange and seems unfamiliar, a realm unexplored, a realm perhaps 'scary' as of the unknown of it. A simple choice, yet with a deeper and more profound meaning. Which dragon, do I want to guard me in the physical realm? The dragons are made of crystals and thus their metaphysical properties are tied to their color, the chakras they represent and enhance. Both of them are looking at me waiting for me to choose. But I found myself lost in the choosing. Is it about what I want or what I need? 'Comfort vs Unknown'. Could it be both? Getting both seems to miss the point. In the invisible world, I don't have to consciously choose, the choice is easy as it is often made by my higher self on my behalf -- Who's the I making the choice and who is the I accepting the choice? -- But here I am, finding a very simple choice so difficult to make. I realise it encompasses so much more among. A behavioral pattern, a loop spiraling out of my system during this powerful eclipse. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece. I came across it just at the right time!
I also just realised that your article is titled 'Crossing into the unknown'. I guess the choice chose me after all! Or is it me who chose to see it as such? ha. Does it ever make sense at some point?
Maya, I'm really happy my writing found you right when you needed it! Your story about choosing between the blue and orange dragons sounds like you're weighing up what's familiar against stepping into something new. It's like how sometimes the choices we face outside show us what's going on inside us, pushing us to grow. The paths we take, or that seem to pick us, are all part of how we learn and brave the unknown, driven by what we want and what we need. Thanks for being so open about it all. It reminds us how our real lives and the symbols we find in them can help us understand ourselves better. Whichever way you go, or it picks you, it's clear it will be meaningful on your journey.
This was very enlightening. I have spent a considerable amount of time on ‘self-work’ over the last 10 years or so, unpacking elements of my early life to see how they dictated patterns of my adult behaviour. As a scientist, I worked within a more developmental programming lens (Dr. Gabor Maté is a personal hero!) but I am at a point now of having to let go of present patterns in my life to get any further. I believe this next stage will be more spiritual and your piece spoke to me on that level. Thank-you.
Tara, I'm thrilled to hear that you found the piece enlightening. Gabor Maté's work is indeed fantastic and his compassionate inquiry deeply resonates with me. I applaud your dedication to inner work and the courage it takes to transcend patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you. It’s wonderful to know that my material has been helpful to you. I wish you the very best as you continue to explore, grow, and transform.
Thank you, Alex. You are truly an inspiration and a guide to healing. As you pointed out, life is a cycle, and sometimes I have found nd myself stuck. I think it’s because we understand those feelings so well that it becomes comforting. The need to delve deeper into self-discovery is an ongoing process, all part of our journey in this body. Your writings are truly inspirational.
Tammy, your words are incredibly kind, I’m honored that my writings resonate with you. It’s very insightful of you to recognize how sometimes the familiar feelings, even if they're of being stuck, can become a comfort zone. This highlights the complexity of our journeys and the courage it takes to step into the unknown for deeper self-discovery. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reflections.
