Dear Ones,

Here are two paintings representing “The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun.” Both are by William Blake. The relevant biblical quotation is cited. There is also a discussion of the topic of the paintings as it relates to the current state of the Ascension process …

“THE GREAT RED DRAGON AND THE WOMAN CLOTHED WITH SUN,” BY WILLIAM BLAKE [version 1]

The dragon has human legs and arms, ram’s horns, wings, and a tail; it is wearing a simple, spiked crown.

So, hmm… I was wondering, was Blake saying that sexuality is demonic? Or what was this painting about? Then later I found out this is a depiction of a vision in Revelation Chapter 12:

RELEVANT BIBLICAL CITATION: “THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON,” Revelation 12:1-6 KJV (public domain)

1 “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

2 “And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3 “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4 “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5 “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

 6 “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”

For my interpretation of this passage, see …

“THE GREAT RED DRAGON AND THE WOMAN CLOTHED WITH SUN” BY WILLIAM BLAKE [version 2]

Image: “The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun,” [another version] by William Blake, ca. 1803-1805, from Wikimedia Commons … https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/The_Great_Red_Dragon_and_the_Woman_Clothed_with_the_Sun.jpg … public domain. This image shows the golden colored, recumbent woman looking up, in helpless alarm, at a big, muscular, beige-colored dragon with human legs, ram’s horns, wings, and a tail; it is wearing a simple, spiked crown.

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS

The second rendition of this painting (above) is a feeling that is being replicated in the recent End Times Hollywood movies. The theme is that of the black magic ‘rape and slaughter of the innocents’.

DUALITY: WILL IT BE SERVICE TO SELF OR SERVICE TO OTHERS?

This is one extreme in the Service to Self – Service to Others continuum that represents the choices in the duality play of the third dimension. These are, in fact, the choices on the table today: Which will you choose?

  • Will it be service to self?
  • Or will it be service to others?

The many timeline choices being offered in each person’s hologram today represent chances to choose, from a personal point of view. By choosing the one or the other, you create your own Awareness timeline.

There are those today who are engaging in the ‘rape and slaughter of the innocents’ and other Satanic bylines. In this way, they are creating a service-to-self timeline for themselves.

There are others who pray for peace on Earth, and envision love and light; these are creating a service to others timeline for themselves.

THE ETERNAL SOUL AND SOURCE

The choices are our own, and no one else’s, as the only relationship each of us has is with Source. The truest aspect we own is the eternal Soul; this our Soul is but a glimmer, a pale reflection, the Original Light of Creation, and that Light came from a potentiating Dark Mother or matrix, the nurturing almost-thought ready to spill forth joyfully, playfully, the countless iterations of her desire for relational experience.

One such iteration is you, in all the winsome, handsome, desireful beauty of your eternal Soul. But for what, O Soul, do you truly long? Here is the answer of the great Sufi poet Kabir, as sung by Snatam Kaur …

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
