THE DRAGONS ARE AWAKENING
by Kiara Windrider (kiara@eternaldoorway.com)
I feel deep sadness as well as great anger in response to the environmental realities we have created upon this Earth. It saddens me to see the immense threat to marine life including many species of fish, dolphins, whales, manatees, sea turtles, seabirds and coastal coral reefs posed by the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, already ten times bigger than the Exxon Valdez spill, and also much bigger than BP is willing to admit. All attempts from BP to plug the leak have failed, with no solution or end in sight. It angers me that not only are we not willing to take responsibility for this but continue to drill without adequate safeguards, arrogantly decimate wilderness areas everywhere without thought for the future, and continue to take from the Earth without any adequate attempts to give back.
A tenth of all species which existed a hundred years ago have already become extinct. The list continues to grow at the rate of thousands every hour as forests shrink and pollutants contaminate our waters, wind and soil. And now in deep betrayal of the Marine Protection Act, the US Administration has chosen to join hands with Japan, Norway and Iceland in reversing a ban on commercial whaling that will allow thousands of these endangered giants of the sea to be once again hunted down to extinction.
Are human beings so terminally stupid that we are letting our beautiful planet die right in front of our own eyes? Do we not care? Do we think that somehow we can continue our short-sighted policies of rip-off profits and greed at the expense of Mother Earth and other lifeforms that equally have chosen to inhabit her land and waters? The prophetic words of Chief Seattle continue to haunt me, “We are all connected…” he stated so eloquently, “…but continue to contaminate your bed and one day you will suffocate in your own wastes!”
Yes, we are all connected, and we must recognize this. It is all too convenient to shift the blame on BP or on our politicians. Yet is not our own excessive demand and dependence on oil equally responsible for the plight we face? Is not our own thoughtless use and abuse of natural resources in our daily lives creating the same decimation all around the world? We have learned to take without any thought for giving back. Is this oil disaster not simply one symptom of a much bigger imbalance where the human species has forfeited its role as protector of the earth and become instead a cancer?
Last month I was with a group of people doing a ceremony for the Earth in the south of France. We felt the presence of the dragons reawakening. These are vast elemental energies residing in the underground regions of the earth. Like the elves, fairies and other forces of Nature, these are conscious vital beings that we can join with for the benefit of Mother Earth. They wish to work with humans, for they understand that we are necessary to the evolution of this planet they serve.
But they are getting impatient. As we attuned to their consciousness we were told that the time has come when the life of the Mother is more important than the excessive comfort of humans. We felt them telling us not to be sad for the fate of the Earth anymore but rather look to our own fate upon Earth. The Mother is forgiving and unconditionally loving, but there comes a time when her children must grow up and take responsibility for their actions… and if this happens not voluntarily from our side this must happen through Her own desire to seek and find balance.
As we felt the beautiful radiance and power of these dragons we began to realize that they were the guardians of Mother Earth and that their time had come to firmly stand up in defense of Her. The dragons represent the energies of new creation, in response to which old systems, structures and energies which no longer serve our evolution must move aside.
And move aside they will. There are many on Earth today who are attuned to the energies of new creation, even if we often feel weak and helpless in the face of the ongoing devastation. I have felt myself going through cycles of rage, depression, and immense grief as I contemplate the fate of our beautiful planet. And through all this I have come to realize that if we choose to act we cannot do this by ourselves, that somehow we need to ally ourselves with elemental energies in a way that our powerful emotions can be channeled for healing and restoration like we cannot yet imagine.
As we come together in our circles of light to wish harmony and healing for ourselves and Mother Earth, let us invoke these beautiful elemental beings, the dragons, in our meditations and prayers. May we look to our own part in this unfolding planetary drama. May we be granted a purity of heart and vision, proving ourselves worthy to work with them in these pivotal times. And may we be willing to stand in defense of our Mother Earth as never before, for this is the last chance we may ever have.
