Some of you might be wondering if I actually believe in dragons, phoenii, unicorns or whatever.
I think the best way I can explain is like this.
The soul is not a representation of the body, it is the other way around. The shape, the look, the form and what radiates is all a reflection of that aspect of the soul or the energy it is radiating.
Dragons, phoenii, unicorns, dogs, cats or whatever you can thing of, those are just labels, names for the forms of energy we see.
For instance, dragon energy is just a particular form of energy and the shape or form that it takes gives you a good idea of what what the properties are and what you can expect from it.
So do the colours as they represent various vibrations and each colour has their own properties. In general, though, the lighter, clearer and brighter the colour, the higher and more spiritual the soul within is.
When certain breeds become extinct, it might well because the group soul has evolved to a new level or perhaps it might have manifested itself on another level or in another place or time.
Some birds are said to descended from dinosaurs. The hummingbird is said to have once been a Tyrannosaurus Rex. This shows how the spirit has evolved from almost one extreme to another.
I believe that mythical creatures exist, but they exist as a representation of certain energies. They are just labels that we use to name and identify.
