While working on the post, “”Embracing the Art of Masturbation as Divine Presence Within” in October of this year, and searching for an image to match a particular section, I came upon various images of Quan Yin and a dragon, which immediately caught my attention.
I wondered about the symbolism because sometime this year, I had my first dream of a dragon while in my early forties.
After crossing paths with this reading, Kwan Yin, recently, I now have a better understanding of what my outer world had reflected back to me when it comes to compassion, my parents, unconditional forgiveness, the dragon, and unconditional love for self and so-called others (soul brothers and sisters/ultimately extensions of my Expanded SELF/Universe within).

While reading the link above, something unexpected happened; I cried a deep cry that I embraced rather than control, ever since I’ve decided to fully honor my feelings (language of our soul).
I then thanked Ascended Master Quan Yin—an aspect of the Divine Feminine Mother GODDESS—for her compassionate and loving energies.
I had briefly read about her before, but I don’t recall feeling any emotions, let alone the strong urge to cry, release and heal; so I intuitively sensed that I was finally ready to receive assistance from her—another extension of my Divinity within me/yet another Ascended Master—for my accelerated, individual and collective soul growth/evolution.

The following are some quotes from the reading/link above that highly resonates with me:
“Quan Yin is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. Also known as Kuan Yin, Quan’Am (Vietnam), Kannon (Japan), and Kanin (Bali), She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, She hears the cries of all beings. Quan Yin enjoys a strong resonance with the Christian Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Tibetan goddess Tara […]
According to legend, Kuan Yin was about to enter heaven but paused on the threshold as the cries of the world reached her ears […]
Quan Yin, as a true Enlightened One, or Bodhisattva, vowed to remain in the earthly realms and not enter the heavenly worlds until all other living things have completed their own enlightenment and thus become liberated from the pain-filled cycle of birth, death, and rebirth […]
The dragon, an ancient symbol for high spirituality, wisdom, strength, and divine powers of transformation, is a common motif found in combination with the Goddess of Mercy [….]”

My Korean mother once told me the main reason why her and my Caucasian father (who raised me since I was three) butted heads throughout their two marriages and divorces.
She said that they were destined not to be in a peaceful relationship because they were both born in the year of the dragon.
Of course, as a child, I wasn’t able to fully understand her words, but I recall thinking that being born on the year of the dragon was a “bad” thing.

I even imagined two, scary-looking dragons often fighting one another, which I now realize was symbolic of my parents’ chaotic relationship which included much abuse (i.e., verbal, emotional and even physical), as well as a major traumatic event that I wrote over a few years ago in the post titled, “Not Flight or Fight…but Freeze.”
Granted, I never saw my dad physically hurt my mother no matter how violent she was at times after being highly intoxicated, and I always respected and admired that about him.
Despite my parents’ overall crazy-ass, on and off relationship while it lasted, they also had some impressive qualities about them that I would always treasure; and I trust that being born in the year of the dragon is not all “bad,” but “good,” as well—a perfect balance since the duality of the so-called “bad,” “dark,” “negative,” and “evil” of Life has its purpose in the Divine Plan as well.

My mother taught me a very valuable lesson in life in junior high school by showing me (rather than telling to me) with her compassionate, thoughtful, and loving action, which I wrote about in one of my first posts over a few years ago called, “Generosity.”
I trust that she highly influenced my decision to share generously with others the wonderful stuff of Life—whether material or non-material—especially my Heart.
I was also blown away when I was in elementary school when I had the opportunity to witness my dad fight off some grown-ass bullies in our neighborhood who were kicking another guy’s ass, which I wrote about in one of my first posts, “Courage.”

I trust that he highly influenced my decision to start standing up for or protecting others, to include standing in-between my two, sister-like Korean cousins and their mother whenever they were about to get a major ass whooping from one of my hot-tempered yet very loving aunts; my cousins returned the favor as well whenever they came to visit us and my mother lost her mind.
I eventually starting standing up for myself as well, which was sometimes expressed in an aggressive manner (“I respect me but I don’t respect you”) when I didn’t know any better , but was eventually transformed into an assertive manner (“I respect you and me”) as I matured and learned.

Despite the so-called “negative” parts of my memories, I trust that I had remembered what my mother had told me about the dragon all these years because I (as my soul) had intuitively known its importance.
After re-reading about the year of the dragon again to refresh my memory, I realized why my mother had said what she believed to be true; those born in the year of the dragon are supposedly not compatible with others who are also born in the year of the dragon.
I wondered if my mother was aware of this information when she had decided to marry my dad the first time. More than likely she was, but perhaps she didn’t believe it could be possible.

However, after reading about my own Eastern zodiac year again—I’ve read a few versions in the past—I realized that just like the Western zodiac signs, some of the information is spot on, while others aren’t, which reminds me that I can use such information as guidance, but to always follow my intuition/inner-knowing first and foremost.
A while back, I shared in my blog my dream about facing a dragon for the first time, and the following italicized paragraph is from the post, “Further Expanding Mind/Heart with White Snake Dream.”
A while back, I had a dream that had a similar vibe as this dream. It was my first dream of a greenish-brown dragon that was about 5-7 feet in front of me, with its head and neck above the surface of a large body of water; it just quietly stared at me, the way the snake calmly observed me as well.

The following italicized section is from my post, “Embracing the Art of Masturbation as Divine Presence Within“:
While searching for an image of Quan Yin (a representative/Asian Goddess of the Divine Feminine Energy/Consciousness) on a lotus flower, I noticed various images of her on or with a dragon which I had never seen before. I’m going to do some research of the meaning of the symbolism, although I have a feeling it has to do with fearlessly facing one’s shadow self (typically symbolized by a dragon/the protector of the inner child => the ego self is the wounded aspect of the inner child) This image instantly reminded me of a dragon dream that I had, which I included in the post, ““Further Expanding Mind/Heart with White Snake Dream.” I now have no doubt that my fearless aspect of me in that dream, as well as many other dreams, was my Divine Feminine Energy/Consciousness within me; and the fearful aspect of me in my dreams was my ego self/wounded inner-child/unhealed masculine energy aspect of my soul.

Ever since I’ve decided to trust my Divinity within me that our outer world is a reflection of our inner world, I’ve been able to learn more about my inner-self from various memories of my outer reality.
Looking back, both of my parents (representing male and female) being born on a year of the dragon—and unable to maintain a peaceful relationship throughout the years—was a reflection of the unbalanced dragons within me/the dragon’s shadow aspect (the opposite, or more accurately, a much lesser degree of unconditional love)/my unbalanced soul of both masculine and feminine energies.
I have a strong feeling that the single dragon in my dream in my early forties is symbolic of the two dragons having integrated as one.

At that particular Moment of Now—being face-to-face with the dragon in dream—I was apparently in a state of a very high vibrational frequency that enabled me to Be my fearless and observing Higher Self/Beloved I AM Presence/Christ within: healed, integrated and balanced Soul—God (Divine Masculine: transformed unhealed masculine energy and consciousness/fearful ego self /wounded inner-child and empowered masculine energies) and Goddess (Divine Feminine: transformed unhealed feminine energy and consciousness/shadow self and empowered feminine energies)—merged with Divine Spirit (Monad)/Father GOD and Mother GODDESS/All That Is = Trinity.
Today is successful day 3 of my first detox experience using Vibrant Cleanse, and I trust My Beloved I AM/Christ within for the Divine guidance that inspired me to further raise and maintain my vibrational frequency.

My husband, dog and I went to our local park in the afternoon since we very much enjoy the experience; plus, being around nature—that naturally go with the flow of Life and vibrate at the 528 Hz Love frequency—-also helps us to instantaneously raise our vibrational frequency when we’re open to it.
While walking along the path, we saw for the first time at least seven to nine deer leap across the park’s pathway back to back; it was truly amazing.
We had seen plenty of deer before at the park, to include ones that cross the path one to three at a time, but not that many back to back.
This experience blew my mind because the timing was so Divinely perfect; the majority of them—with the exception of one—leaped in-between us and several other people without hesitation.
Note: Image on left found next to link => hdnaturewallpapers.us (thank you) I typed in Google, “dragon in nature” to search for an image to match this section of the post, and I was so excited to find that the very first image perfectly enhanced this particular story—of dragon spirit energy and a deer—and I was confident that it was as usual…Divine guidance from my Beloved I AM Presence within.
However, one deer was left behind, although it eventually made its way across after it waited for all of us to pass by, which was near our turn-around point.
On our way back, we saw the deer wandering around looking for its family, and my heart went out to it.
Rather than feeling sad, I thanked Mother Nature/Gaia/Goddess for helping the deer to find its family.

Right after typing the last word of the previous sentence, I received an insight (from my Beloved I AM) that this deer, that was seemingly left behind, was reflecting back to me how I felt deep within.
And by being able to feel compassion for the deer (me projecting), and telepathically sending it loving energies from my Heart space, I was in essence feeling compassion for self.
I trust that the lone deer moment had triggered in me the readiness to finally release the need to ever feel lonely again, even if it was only every now and then.
As I choose to have deep understanding and compassion for my personality self—fearful ego self/wounded inner-child/unhealed masculine energy/an aspect of soul—I realize that it’s completely understandable for having felt the way I did.

I was merely unable to truly relate to anyone in my personal, physical reality (i.e., family members, friends, neighbors, acquaintances etc.) for the past few years on all levels of my Being—mentally, emotionally, physically and most importantly…spiritually.
However, lately, as I better master living and Being who I truly am in every present Moment of Now with much gratitude and appreciation for all of interconnected Life—especially the small things—I’m able to Be my essence (my Beloved I AM Presence/Christ within) more often than before, to include inner-peace.
Last but not least, by wishing the lone deer to reunite with its family, I was also intending for self/Self to reunite with my Family of Light as well in Divine perfect timing and order (other than very briefly in dream state a few times)—to include the Arcturians, Pleiadians, Sirians, Ashtar Command, Andromedans, Lyrans, and other Guardians of Light whom I’m not aware of yet.

After I came upon the image right above, the sentence right below the link caught my attention and raised my curiosity:
“You will benefit from intensive healing and your Star Dragon will assist you in healing yourself & others through Natural & effective means.”
After I clicked on the link, I noticed the words, “Lemurian Star Dragon” in big letters which instantly drew in me further like a ginormous, cosmic magnet.
The keyword Lemurian explained why I was recently attracted to the reading, “Legend of Lemuria” by By Jean Sheehan. I even had a strong urge to order the book, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth – The Atlantean about a month ago, and have been slowly reading and digesting it.
What I find so intriguing is that while I was reading the book, at one point, I noticed that the silent voice that was reading along the rhythmic words of wisdom, was not mine (as usual), but a masculine sounding voice that I don’t recall ever hearing before.

I sense that I’m remembering and reuniting various aspects of self/Self/SELF.
Day by day, I remember more of who I truly am, or who I’m not, through inner experiences—to include dreams of past, other present and future lives/parallel realities, animal totems, out-of-body experiences, etc.—as well as outer experiences, to include interacting with others, and coming upon outer knowledge (i.e., books, blogs, signs, symbolism, and pretty much everything else outside of self) reflecting my soul’s inner-knowing and inner reality.

When I started doing daily intention statements, at least twice a day—once upon waking up, and once before going to sleep—I had trusted in my Divinity within that they were going to come to fruition in Divine perfect timing and order.
And sure enough, I have already tuned into some of them which was simply amazing.
I’m gradually able to see other intention statements come into fruition as well, such as “I am effortlessly intending to fully remember who I truly am, confidently know who I truly am, and fearlessly and freely Be who I truly am.”

This reading => Draco the Dragon and the Garden of Eden: Constellation of the Cosmic Serpent (Symbolism, Mythology, and Astrology) reminded me of this post, and it harmoniously brought together more puzzle pieces.
