Ancient cultures around the world have depicted dragons in art, literature and folklore, sparking enduring curiosity about whether dragons really existed and once roamed the skies.
Paleontologists theorize that the myth of dragons may have arisen from distant memories of real prehistoric creatures. Dinosaur fossils found centuries or even millennia ago may have inspired dragon legends. Dramatic depictions of fierce battles between knights and dragons may have originated from ancient humans defending themselves against predators. Unearthing the bones of giant species like dinosaurs could provide imaginative explanations.
Some scholars argue that dragons symbolically represent humanity's primal fears and struggle with the dangerous forces of the natural world. Dragons embody the symbolic nature of the cosmic battle between order and chaos. Slaying a dragon served as a metaphor for controlling our own inner monsters.
An important distinction to make when talking about dragons
My intuitive understanding is that dragons existed in ancient times as physical creatures that roamed Earth and other planets. They were part of our tangible reality and environment. However, in their spiritual development, dragons evolved to the point where they no longer needed dense physical bodies.
However, a quick aside here: not all Dragons have ascended to higher realms of consciousness – some have descended to lower vibrational realms of existence (yes, there are some planets that have even denser vibrations than Earth).
In exploring the Dragon realm, it is important to distinguish between the higher frequency Ascended Dragons and the lower frequency Descended Dragons, as these classifications reflect very different states of being and consciousness.
High Frequency Ascended Dragon
Ascended Dragons are enlightened cosmic beings who have evolved beyond physical form. They emanate powerful blessings of love, wisdom and healing to aid humanity and the Earth. Ascended Dragons have a high vibration and reside in the mystical realm of light.
These benevolent Dragons seek to guide spiritual seekers, light workers, and all souls who wish to ascend. Their ancient knowledge supports the awakening of humanity. Ascended Dragons awaken latent psychic abilities, activate DNA, and expand cosmic consciousness.
Connecting with an ascended dragon brings about peace, joy and a sense of oneness with the divine. The dragon's energy clears negative emotions, distortions and blocks, clearing the way to higher states of consciousness.
The descended dragon of low frequency
In contrast, ascended dragons represent the other end of the spectrum. They are dragons who have chosen to align with fear, greed and destruction. Ascended dragons amplify animalistic urges, aggression, domination and the lower desires of humanity.
These dragons seek not to foster enlightenment, but to increase ignorance, limitation, and suffering. Their malevolent energy promotes anxiety, violence, a spirit of scarcity, and detachment from God. Myths of heroic battles with destructive dragons reflect our inner efforts to overcome the harmful impulses amplified by the descended dragons.
Archangel Michael slays the dragon
In Rudolf Steiner's spiritual philosophy, the symbolic image of Archangel Michael slaying the dragon represents the battle between good and evil, specifically the struggle of humanity to overcome its lower, primitive desires and develop its higher spiritual capacities.
According to Steiner, the dragon represents dangerous animalistic impulses arising from the astral body, the part of the human body that is connected with emotions, desires and instincts. These impulses threaten to inhibit the growth of human intelligence and self-awareness.
Archangel Michael represents the cosmic forces of courage, strength, and enlightenment. By slaying the dragon, Michael empowers humanity to transcend selfish desires and express the most divine aspects of human nature. This symbolic act brings the impulses of the astral body into proper balance with reason and compassion.
Flying Dragon: Samuel Sagan on Dragons as Cosmic Beings
In the spiritual writings of Samuel Sagan, founder of the Clairvision School, the flying dragon is treated as a profound and mystical symbol. Sagan portrays the flying dragon as a mythical embodiment of enlightened cosmic consciousness with the power to awaken expanded awareness in humans.
According to Sagan's The Secrets of Atlantis, dragons have existed since primeval times, when gods walked the earth and humanity was deeply connected to the cosmos. Dragons represent guardians of sacred, universal knowledge from ancient lost civilizations such as Atlantis.
Dragons carry cosmic wisdom and high vibrations and act as guides to transcendence. Sagan describes dragons as masters of the transcendental realm and of crossing the veil between the earthly and the spiritual realms. Those who encounter dragons may have access to waves of cosmic energy, ancestral memories, past-life memories, and mystical insights.
Sagan portrays the dragon as a master of what he calls the “gift of vision”: the ability to see through illusions and access higher truths. The dragon's guidance helps us dissolve the barriers between our subconscious and conscious minds. Merging with the dragon's consciousness can awaken latent human abilities, including telepathy, astral travel, energy healing, and enhanced intuition.
The dragons, who guard the secrets of alchemy, reveal themselves only to those who are spiritually ready to use such knowledge for good. According to Sagan, with pure intent and an open third eye, one can commune with the mystical dragons as mirrors of divine cosmic intelligence. For the prepared seeker, the dragons are ready to become guides on the path to enlightenment.
Through his rich and fantastical portrayals of dragons, Sagan imaginatively expresses the dragon's gifts as catalysts and partners in exploring infinite realms of consciousness and discovery.
