Dragonfriends
How we can get stronger, if we dare to face the Dragons.
So here is what I learned so far on my path to become a Dragonfriend. May these words inspire something valuable in your mind.
The Dragons are here to give us strength.
They can bring harm and destruction, if we choose to fight them.
They can bring peace and happiness, if we turn them into our friends.
Those who turn the Dragons into their friends are called the Dragonfriends.
Dragonfriends can use the strength of the Dragons to give other people strength.
By doing this, we develop Dragonstrength.
With Dragonstrength, we can take care of our own lives.
With Dragonstrength, we can support others in taking care of theirs.
With Dragonstrength, we can overcome whatever holds us down.
With Dragonstrength, we can reshape the entire global system.
With Dragonstrength, we can build a healthy world for all.
Dragonfriends who want to do this need to join up with other Dragonfriends.
When Dragonfriends give strength together, they multiply their Dragonstrength.
It is the giving of strength that creates Dragonstrength.
It is the collective giving of strength that multiplies Dragonstrength.
Becoming a Dragonfriend requires learning the language of the Dragons.
If we face the Dragons without knowing their language, all we see is anger.
In challenged moments, we may direct this anger against other people.
If we try to fight the Dragons, we may direct this anger against ourselves.
Anger against ourselves can be highly destructive for us.
Anger against ourselves can make us highly destructive for others.
If we suppress the anger against ourselves, we may get sad and disappointed.
If we get too tired to fight, we may end up directing the anger towards others.
The essence of the Dragons is love.
Dragonfire is love so compressed that it burns everything it touches.
In its compressed form, the love is undirected.
If our love is undirected, we may be incapable of loving ourselves.
If our love is undirected, we may be incapable of loving others.
By directing our compressed love towards ourselves and others, we can decompress our love.
If we decompress our love, we can develop Dragonstrength.
This is the secret of the Dragonfriends.
Dragonfriends know how to decompress anger into love.
If we stop directing our decompressed love, it compresses back into anger.
If we direct our decompressed love towards others, it might be rejected.
If our love gets rejected, it may become a source of sadness.
If harmful things happen to people we love, it might become another source of sadness.
If we carry our sadness on our shoulders, it can pull us down.
If we give our sadness to the Dragons, they can transform it into love.
The more sadness we give to the Dragons, the more love they generate within us.
The more love there is within us, the stronger it may get compressed.
The more compressed our love will get, the more likely it will turn into anger.
If we channel our love to ourselves and others, we can increase our Dragonstrength.
This is all you need to know to become a dragonfriend.*
*Learning to become a dragonfriend is quite a difficult journey. It is not enough to understand these words. We need to learn the language of the Dragons.
We cannot learn the language of the Dragons by ourselves. If we face the Dragons alone, we may react to them with fear, or sadness, or anger against ourselves. Or we may try to run away from them and try to search for peace and balance. Whatever way we choose, we can never overcome the Dragons.
If we want to become friends with the Dragons, we need to find a Dragonguide. Dragonguides can come in many roles and shapes, but they need to be outside of ourselves. We can search for them or we can be found by them. Whatever way they come, we need to be open for them to guide us. This is how to start the journey to become a Dragonfriend.

For lovers of rationality:
If you wish, you can see the Dragons as metaphors for old emotions and traumas that are deeply enshrined into our neural structures. You can see the concepts of Dragonfriends, Dragonstrength and Plasticstrength as metaphors for different emotional coping mechanisms.
