Other Dragons

Draconic characters (games), after this post, I'll no longer have any need to point out fictional expressions of draconic energy.....If you compile all the previous characters, the vision of the archetype, is clear. 

For all the nerds out there, Kenshi, is a deep expression of Root chakra energy. Tis a game about surviving a hostile wasteland, where everything is trying to kill you and the only path, is to become stronger and temper your body and skills. 

Kenshi

Draconic Characters: Thrall and Hellscream (vid below), Predator (movie), 

The draconic principles are most obvious in the Warcraft characters.....tough skin, raw primal strength, giant axes and hammers as weapons (symbols of strength, virility, power) and hot blood. A truly powerful cinematic from my youth.  

Thrall and Hellscream  

"On the anvil of war are the strong tempered and the weak made to perish, thus are men's souls tested as metal in the forge's fire." Vulcan (Root chakra vibes)

 
Body Tempering Hacks

I'm saving most of my notes, but here's a few helpful hacks I've discovered. A big challenge for this practice, is muscle regeneration, everyday your cleansing the muscle and bones and it requires significant time and food to rewire the system, but by charging your food and drink with "Muscle Repair", it significantly increases the rate of repair...so one day after another you can keep going hard on the body. Intestinal cleansing, is also useful tech for muscular regeneration, it helps your body refine and sort all the nutrients you eat and thus increase the rate of tissue integration. 

Cold showers, another useful trick....they help "cool" the system and facilitate integration. Cold water on the skull and forehead, I've found to be particularly potent. 

 
Ice Tech and Body Tempering  

I had the opportunity to observe an Ice tech cleansing method, that was both impressive and revelatory. I'm familiar with the Isa rune...but have only worked with it sporadically.....suffice to say, I was grateful to observe these methods used by another. What I saw, was that Ice tech can be used in cleansing via first freezing the problematic area....and then continuing to freeze and freeze and freeze and freeze....until an obscene amount of ice is built up....then all the energy stored from the Ice can be explosively released and cause a flood of watery power that cleanses the system and carries out the debris. What impressed me about this method, is how much power can be stored and released from ice during the whole process. Observing this tech, got me thinking: How can I apply this Ice principle of "Storage and Release" to body tempering? 

After working a bit with my spirit allies on the question...I got my answer. The Biceps, a muscle.....that operates as a kind of Dan Tian (internal storage). The bicep has a quality of tremendous storage and when the storage space of this muscle reaches its limit.....it creates an "internal explosion" similar to Ice Cleansing. The explosion of qi rushes through the muscular system and has a cleansing effect. I timed how many days of qi building up, in the Bicep it took, before the explosion occurred, 9 days. My guess is, that as I continue my training, the storage capacity will increase, as well as the explosive power. 


Cosmic Dragon

I was complaining in my previous post, "Axis Bullshit", on the fickle nature of my path and how I can't seem to have a linear progression because of karmic circumstances and health issues. Thankfully, I believe I've found a solution, much better than the 3 separate martial arts. Dragon energy is explicitly tied to the Root Chakra.....yet at the same time....I've noted there is all types of Draconic forces (celestial, water....etc) which roam far beyond the confines of the root? I don't fully understand this contradiction....but its there and quite glaring. 

As a result of seeing this contradiction and knowing that Spiral Tech is tied to draconic power.....I began to seek out a more "Cosmic Dragon", that I will be able to practice no matter what cycle I enter. What I found, was a type of Purple and Etherial Draconic qi and I am calling it the Cosmic Dragon. Unlike the blood red Dragon Mantra I'm working now....this Cosmic Qi is approachable and should my cycle shift again, I can continue to practice Spiral Tech seamlessly. As a result of it's approach-ability (no risk of internal injury), I have no problem posting it here. 

Cosmic Dragon Mantra: O Dra Ong 

My core practice will continue to be the Dragon Mantra, but it's great to have a "back-up" that I can seamlessly hop onto without missing a beat. I'm enjoying Spiral Fu and am so glad these drastic internal shifts will no longer interfere. 

My understanding of spirals is still very low...but the more you train....the more you see them in everything. I was watching this old clip of Lethal Weapon...where Riggs does a judo throw on Murtaugh and immediately recognized it as a spiral. Golf, also has spirals. 

Judo Throw

When it comes to internalizing martial fu....slowly making spiral movements with any part of my body (fingers, joint, hand, arm.....etc) helps deeply embed the learning. I saw this clip from that old cheesy gunslinger movie: Quick and the Dead. One of the main characters, played by Russell Crowe....he's so deep in his martial way....that when it comes time to fighting....his skills come out without him even noticing (unconsciously). This has happened to me on several occasions....in my Sexual Energy Meditation thread back on OF.....I mentioned how I was in a dream state and reacted semi-consciously to foreign influence. Dream Defense

When it comes to embedding your martial way....you want it to be "deep" inside you....to the point where....it doesn't matter whether your wide awake or dead asleep....your martial arts will "come out"....like a trusty friend, always by your side....much like a gun from it's holster (spiral connection to drawing as well).

Michael's Dream

Speaking of Dreams.....its common for occultists to get messages through dreams....and recently I got one from Michael (he's a close ally). Basically, it was a dream that manifested in cartoon form (think Afro Samurai, Samurai Champloo and Kenichi all at once), where a friend of mine was split open by a sword of an extremely profound martial artist. Blood was everywhere and my life was spared...so I could challenge the killer 20 years from the date in a death match. Immediately in the dream....my martial spirit rose and I decided to give every second of every day, for the next 20 years, to train for the fight. 

I awoke and immediately realized that the dream wasn't "mine", the foreign nature of the dream is always a give away...nothing relating to daily content. Michael came through and said he gave me that dream as a message for me.....a message on the "Deeper Martial Way".....he told me that compared to the true "depths".....I'm still at an "extremely low level" of skill. I've been feeling this awhile.....gotta keep training. That's all for this blog. Cheers.
