108 HYMNS OF THE
DANCING DRAGON

Since time immemorial, the dragon has been synonymous with the “mind” and symbolizes the cosmic mind, which is also expressed in nature’s cosmic capacity for action.

In this sense, a number of advanced civilizations of high culture have used the dragon as their important or most important symbol. Often the dragon appears in play with the golden ball and then symbolizes the game of consciousness with the Self, or the game of the Self with consciousness.

In this game the dragon always concentrates with the greatest attention on the golden ball, or: the colourful silver-white shining consciousness concentrates on the golden shining Self.

Most of the great thinkers of mankind interpret the Self shining like a sun as the male principle and the consciousness shining like the full moon as the female principle.
