Dragon Glyph ~ The Crux Dissimulata ~ Uniting Heaven 'n Earth ~ The 1st Swirlings

In Qabalah, the heaven of Kether is called Rashith ha-Gilgalim
(the first swirlings).

The soul aspires to its highest aspect, the Yechidah,
seeking to elevate the lower aspects so they may be united
with the highest and then re-merge with the ultimate divine.

The Dragon god-kings were exemplars of this process o
f “uniting Heaven and Earth”.

Speaking of rebirth, Tibetan Buddhism suggests that the third bardo
consists of a series of images determined by the soul’s karma
that lead to psychic vortices that draw the soul into a womb.

The soul’s reaction to the images (attraction or repulsion)
determines which vortex the soul enters and in which womb
the soul ends up.

The Tibetan tradition gives detailed advice on which representations
to choose and which to avoid in order to gain a desirable rebirth.

A dragon glyph, the Crux Dissimulata
— an ancient swastika
— symbolized the four winds or directions and their corresponding spirits.

It was also an Asian and Germanic fire and sun symbol.

The cross inscribed in a circle mediates between the square and the circle, emphasizing the “joining of heaven and earth” and “the perfected human being”.

It encodes dynamic dragon energy in minimal graphic form.

Thus, the Dragon Tradition is a meta-mythology, resonating through history,
woven by metaphor to give lived experience a universal purpose.

A Ruler with royal ancestry is deified as King or Queen,
dependent on gender.

In Sumerian culture ‘kingship’ was identical with ‘kinship’
– and ‘kin’ means ‘blood relative’.
