Princess and Dragon

 

The princess in her tower is watched over by a fierce Dragon. She waits for a Knight who will find the forest and the Tower, and who will kill the Dragon to deliver her. If he is a Prince, it’s better, she will avoid mésalliance. For she will marry her noble savior, cover him with the Dragon’s Gold and offer him his Kingdom.

 

To accomplish this mission, one must be motivated by much more than greed. Is the Princess as beautiful as her father thought she was and as the Dragon sees? The males are not objective: father or dragon, from Flanders or Aragon, the last slug is made of beautiful idiots.

The Princess is overvalued. Gold is not enough. Nor is the Kingdom. What does the hero need to commit his life? We must have understood the plan. Feeding on the juices of the story. The Knight is only one aspect of the Ego. Like the Princess. Like the Tower. Like the Dragon.

This fairy tale tells you nothing but about yourself. At the same time, you are each of the characters. They invective each other inside you, sometimes they provoke each other. You watch duels, you fight against yourself. You are moved by Beauty, do you love her if it is you? Funny when you think about it… you are your reward.

 

The Princess is Inside You

The Knight embodies your desire for enlightenment. He is driven by noble feelings, a high ideal, and a deep respect for positive values. His motto is: Act without delay.

That’s exactly what he does. He acts so much, and more, not in a compulsive or thoughtless way; he acts because he likes it. The knight has no expectations, he hopes for no pay for his trouble, what punishment? He likes it. He doesn’t expect any results. The result is already there. Since always, the result is seen as a strength that goes. He believes in it.

The Forest is the place where you must exercise your talents. Your career, your profession, your living environment, that’s what the Forest stands for. Before undertaking the Quest, you must find this living environment, this professional path that will be your yoga. Whatever you do, do it with your heart. Don’t do anything for money. Do it for fun, to learn, to give back. If there is some money on top of the deal, take the windfall and say thank you. This money will help your quest. To have to act, not to have to act.

Your ideal is not to amass. Leave this chimera to the materialists. They believe that money makes happiness. Yes, but above all it brings happiness to others. The money you give lights up your path. Forget what your right hand is doing, don’t worry about your merits, the Force doesn’t care. Energy doesn’t give a damn. Intention doesn’t care.

Do not expect any reward for your actions. Are we sure they are good? Act without expecting any results. But you still have to act knowing that.

The Tower is the temple of your body where the divine Spirit will incarnate. The Dragon is your ego, domineering, destructive, authoritarian, and arbitrary. You have to get used to it. The Princess, so beautiful, so sad in the prison of her body that is still sleeping, she will blossom when you are released from the dreadful Guardian of the Treshold …

 

 

Guardian of the Threshold

To cross the Threshold is to take a step into the other world. What is holding you back? The Guardian. Who is the Guardian? Your ego. Why is he opposed to your evolution towards the light? He feels his end coming. The ego is the only part of the being that is not soluble in awakening.

As soon as the ego returns to take control of myself, Spirit flies out of my body, I am no longer awake. For what I have seen and experienced, awakening is not won forever. He comes and goes. You never know if he’ll be there tomorrow.

I knew a brilliant witch who became the stupidest bitch as soon as she returned to ordinary reality. She had no memory of her other personality, persuaded instead that I was telling her bullshit. You have to have lived it to measure the shock you feel when faced with severe schizophrenia the first time you see it. Since then I have seen many others …

This is the whole difficulty of trips to the other world. Astral flight is exhilarating, especially if you remember it when you come home. Dream and reality, the two worlds are separate for all. Only some of us can switch from one to the other. Two kinds of people: sorcerers and madmen. Besides, are there two kinds? All madmen are sorcerers. The opposite could be a vice … and versa.

 

Lil Clever takes his reflexion for his double,
his armor for power and his ego for soul.
Lil Clever is so stupid, what will Lil Stupid be like?
