The Solar Doctrine

whole journey in the hospital is was precisely that the fear which emerges when facing directly and viscerally the SuperDragon is what causes at the end of the day humans to feel the need to become dependant on powers that control and direct their passivity and inertness; that is to say, dependant on all those powers that determine whatever is at the thresholds of death… So this is why, while walking through the streets of the city with his magical Iphone always in hand, the bravery of Arthur was in this occasion extraordinary, always in a state of deep surveillance with regard to the insinuations and provocations of the Great Beast, which in principle didn´t give any signs of emerging around the streets.
Bu the night was prolonging much more than initially expected, and Arthur, while walking along the uninhabited streets without any clear direction, was exposing himself however to all the outdoor dangers, homelessness and indigence. Arthur was well aware that by living in the Dark Ages, the Kali-Yuga or Iron Age that he had to seek his enemy in its own territory: darkness; he knew perfectly well that the SuperDragon was awaiting for him in the very center of the cosmic samsara, yet he didn´t manage to imagine how this supernatural domain would particularize in the urban environment he was transiting… At each moment he recalled his first big direct combat against the SuperDragon, and how during this fight he had ended up severely damaged and necessarily hospitalized due to his defeat, but now he was also well aware that on this occasion he would no longer challenge the monster as a simple voter and Sunday driver, but as a warrior who aspires to become a Solar Warrior for the sake of eternity.
Nevertheless, the cold was becoming more and more penetrating… A deathly cold that little by little started to freeze Arthur´s good mood and optimism, and naturally also started to petrify into sharp and cutting crystals his previous states of euphoria. Undeniably our hero was progressively penetrating into the icy and misty kingdoms where the Dragons have dwelt since the origin of anything that even my dear readers can think about… It was during those moments that the domain of death, as a sort of net thrown from the abysses by the SuperDragon, was trapping the legs and arms of our hero, while the latter, in a state of terror, observed how his hands became pale, rigid, unmovable… And immediately something ominous and terrible occurred: the Iphone fell from his hands and landed on the ground in a puddle. I no case could Arthur have imagined that that accident would have occurred, and as soon as he managed to grab his Iphone, he realized that its light and fire had dissipated due to the effect of the water… “Oh my God!!!” -he thought, desperately, aware that he could no longer use his magic weapon. “Just what I needed… Now I´ve definitely fucked everything!!”… Suddenly all his initial value and courage also spilled all along the ground, becoming as petrified as ice… And it was then that, reflecting upon the ill-omened puddle, that immediately there emerged together with the sinister and misty moonlight, the SuperDragon. Bigger and more monstrous than ever…
Unimaginable with regard to its cosmic dimensions, much more powerful than during the first combat against Arthur, and having the latter completely at its mercy, the SuperDragon immediately expelled a gigantic flare that immediately impacted Arthur´s heart, which immediately caught fire, causing him to feel unbearable pain in his chest… During those moments, Arthur cursed his own bad luck, his destiny and the fact that he could no longer make use of the Iphone and call for emergency assistance, since the pain in his heart was already appalling and the presence of death more and more petrifying…
Immersed in a deep and abyssal outburst of fear and terror, Arthur decided to penetrate through some backstreets in order to escape from the presence of the great beast and its petrifying net of icy death. Walking with huge difficulty and pain because of the first onslaught of the animal, at last he managed to observe some lights far away, which -he thought- could be those that could save him, such as the lights of a beacon in the case of any castaway… Stumbling here and there, and very weakened because of the recent injuries and pains, Arthur walked towards some bystreets where there were a series of pubs and disco-pubs where he intended to find some warm human contact that could assist him in the case of the deathly injury inflicted on him by the SuperDragon…
All that boldness and euphoria he experienced while firmly parading towards the dark domains of his enemy was already an old memory. Arthur even firmly believed that it is quite easy to haul off while being well protected and cared for in a hospital, but that quite another thing is the direct and visceral war in the streets against the SuperDragon in all its fury and power, especially when deprived of the light and assistance of his magical Iphone…
So, then surrounded by a considerable number of human incarnations that were having fun in the pubs, Arthur remained seduced by the idea of asking for help, and he thus didn´t think twice about it:
-Please! Help me! Please! The Dragon is pursuing me and it has seriously injured me in my heart! I need help!!
-Hey man! What you need is to go back to the madhouse -immediately said one of the human incarnations that was having a drink. Such comment was then accompanied by countless laughs among many other human incarnations…
-I´m not kidding!! You hear me! My magical Iphone is broken… I´m too vulnerable against the monster!! I have no weapons!
Hearing Arthur´s statements, the bursts of laughter on the part of the human incarnations couldn´t help but spread and multiply around everywhere. And immediately Arthur observed how the SuperDragon was getting camouflaged perfectly well as a sort of psychic power of collective minds among the present human incarnations, and that even most of the guffaws were rather a merely human projection of the monstrous and deafening laughter that was ultimately coming from the SuperDragon, already aware of its imminent victory and the pathetic need on the part of Arthur to look for help among the human incarnations and the orientation provided by the street lightning.
Even though it is quite expected for children to be all sleeping during those midnight hours, there appeared however a six year old boy who was quite affected by Arthur´s situation and immediately tried to help him out.
-Hey! What´s happening to you? Are you all right? -the kid asked…
-Hello my friend, no… Actually I´m not well at all, I´ve just been attacked by the Dragon, and it´s now everywhere, it has me completely surrounded, and I have no weapons… It is going to defeat me, I´m going to die…
-What is your weapon? Do you have a gun? Maybe a sword? -the kid asked, quite worried.
-Yes, I have it here, in my Iphone, but it got wet and no longer works… I´m doomed… Do you know how to fix these gadgets by any chance?
The kid answered no, a little sad for not being capable of fixing the Iphone of our hero in his lethal combat against the SuperDragon…
While the human incarnations that were in the bars and pubs were individuals extremely exposed and enslaved by the monster, the kid was still untouchable by the beast and thus, became during those fatidic moments the only ally that Arthur could actually count on.
-Do you know what I do when a toy of mine is broken? -commented the kid…
-No idea, tell me my friend… -Arthur said…
-I create for myself an imaginary toy… It is not the same of course, but that way nobody can take it away from me… Not even the Dragon that is following you could steal it from me…
That kid and his innocent intelligence were ultimately the only lights that Arthur could verify in that icy and dark tunnel where he has facing the SuperDragon.
-I know you´ll defeat the Dragon -the child said- You just have to believe so…
Immediately the boy´s parents appeared, grabbing him by his hand and saying to him: “Andrew! Come here immediately! Stop talking to that drunk beggar!!”
And the boy left the place while winking and smiling at our hero, while he was pulled very strongly by his parents, who had been immediately dominated and persuaded by the SuperDragon, which never wants children to get close to the convalescent combatants, since this way heroic warriors alwa
ys gain a clear moral advantage during the fight. In point of fact, by contributing to this prudence on the part of the SuperDragon, since more than a century ago television had allied very well with the monster with regard to its need to purge the natural imagination of children, keeping them thus under control and dominated even before arriving at their adolescence. Bu this boy in particular, in some unexplainable and mysterious way, still hadn´t had his imagination purged by television and had succeeded in spontaneously penetrating the Dragon´s realms without the latter being capable of detecting him. Definitely by being unable to dominate the imaginative child and unable to detect him with its powerful nose, the SuperDragon had received an important moral impact during one of the most critical moments of the great combat against Arthur. Nevertheless, before such unexpected situation, the SuperDragon immediately knew exactly what it had to do: immediately expel a huge and hellish flare of fire of such a size and power that Arthur wouldn´t have time to even imagine it.
But immediately our hero recalled all the contents of the Doctrine that had achieved to enlighten his out-of-order Iphone. He realized that this Iphone, to which he became very attached during the previous times by
