Becoming Ready - Like a Dragonfly 🌌🌀🐉
The Dragonfly: A Powerful Metaphor for Liberation
Concept from the Gene Keys by Richard Rudd & the I Ching, an ancient Chinese divination text.
We’ve been doing the work—deep, soul-level healing and integration. Unlearning. Unraveling. Behind the scenes. Not just in this lifetime, but across timelines. To understand the true nature of the upcoming awakening, we can find a beautiful parallel in the life cycle of the dragonfly.
1. Egg Stage — Victimization
Dragonflies spend much of their early lives underwater. In the beginning, the dragonfly exists as an egg beneath the water’s surface—unformed, unseen, vulnerable. We also feel trapped, hidden, and at the mercy of forces beyond our control. Here, we internalize oppression. Our voice is silenced. Our truth, suppressed. We live below the surface, adapting to environments that don’t support our becoming. During this time, we have no idea what the future holds…
2. Nymph Stage — Transformation
The nymph spends months or even years underwater, undergoing invisible internal genetic changes and mutations. It’s a slow process of unlearning, healing, and integration. We, too, shed skins, stories, and labels. We face discomfort and do the inner work. This sacred threshold space marks the point where we are no longer who we once were - but not yet who we’re becoming. While we exist deeply in the realm of emotions, we still often have little sense of the beautiful world that lies ahead.
3. Emergence — Freedom
Suddenly, a deep-seated sleeping gene activates, causing the nymph to behave unexpectedly: it locates a nearby plant stalk and crawls out of the water. In a final, irreversible transformation, it breaks free from its previous form. Its wings spread wide, and for the first time, sunlight upgrades its body. It becomes what it was always destined to be. The water from its early life powers its wings to unfold. This signifies true freedom—transcendence beyond form. No longer bound by the past or surroundings. No longer hidden beneath the surface. Our raw emotional energy sparks the emergence of future consciousness, which exists eternally on a higher plane. We ascend, fly, and shine.
A Reflection: This metaphor shows that, as a species, we need to deeply explore the emotional world, where we will undergo profound genetic transformations and integrations. Right now, as a collective, we are coming out of the water and stepping into the sunlight. We are not falling behind; we are growing. Even when still, our wings are forming. Even in darkness, our freedom is emerging. Like the dragonfly, our truth has always been inside us.
During this time, you might be very sensitive to big shifts in your daily patterns, energy, and feelings. This is a deep process of integration that will take time but will become steadier. We humans are being pushed to become more transparent, like the wings of the dragonfly. After this awakening, you will no longer be just an individual. Awareness will work together. From now on, the more you try to hide, the more you will suffer. The mind’s obsession with separation must be broken.
