The important things in life grow in [[value]] through reflection over [[time]]. The aural transmission received by the rapt audience that evening has had its own ripple effect. The story matured in the [[mind]]s of both the listeners and of the teller of the tale, [[Timothy Wyllie]], and now, in its evolved form, it comes to you as this [[book]].

I had first been introduced to Timothy by Marilyn Ferguson at one of [[Buckminster Fuller]]’s last lectures in [[New York City|New York]]. She brought us together saying, “You two are both interested in dragons.” In the [[space]] of the ten-minute intermission, we reveled in being able to plunge right in without having to justify or explain ourselves. We both already knew that something was afoot if a “[[myth]]” is accompanied by similar descriptive imagery in [[culture]]s on all continents throughout known [[history]]. If dragons were “[[imagination|imaginary]],” why then did everyone seem to ‘imagine’ them as large phylogenic hybrids, part snake, part bird, with claws like lions, manes like horses, and voices like thunder, or some other improbable and colorful mix? The [[Rainbow Serpent]] of the Australian Aboriginal, the feathered and dazzling [[Quetzalcoatl]] of the [[Aztec]]s, the benevolent bringers of wind and rain of the Chinese, or the fierce and feared abductors of maidens and hoarders of treasure of Northern Europe –– dragons were everywhere.

“Dragons are often held to have major [[spiritual]] significance in various [[religion]]s and cultures around the world. In many Asian cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of [[nature]], religion and the [[universe]]. They are associated with [[wisdom]]—often said to be wiser than [[human]]s—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech.” -–– From [[Wikipedia]], the free encyclopedia

Because of the fluid and seamless way in which the Helianx Proposition came through originally it is evident, there may be elements of considerable interest to the contemporary [[cosmology|cosmologist]], and which will perhaps add some insight into the odd persistence of the presence of dragons, [[cosmic]] snakes and rainbow serpents in the stories we have told ourselves over the thousands of years of [[human]] [[history]].
