I noticed that on the case of the Mahjong set I brought home from Hong Kong there's a picture of a dragon and an eagle fighting. Between them is a disc or a sphere.
I found it curious. Has the dragon something to do with reptilians? Maybe the eagle means extra-terrestrials, since wings in myths are often associated with flight or aliens coming from the sky. Are the reptilians and aliens opposing forces, are they two factions of the same force? What is the disc/sphere they seem to be battling over? Is it Earth?
Chinese lion statues often hold a sphere. And then there's another lion with a lion cub. One explanation I've heard is that they represent the balance of good and evil. And someone said the sphere represents magic. Also foxes in Shinto shrines in Japan sometimes have a sphere in their mouths, others have a key. (Even the Wikipedia article mentions the dog-like appearance of the lions, and foxes are doggies too. Something to do with Sirius? But that's another story, or is it?)

Anyway, just now I was looking at some pictures I took in Japan a couple of months ago. I was in Kyoto during Mifune matsuri (3 boats festival) at Arashiyama. The highlight of the festival was dancers on a boat. The dancers had wings on their back. The front of the boat had a dragon on it, and as I looked at the pictures I noticed a boat behind the dragon boat with a bird in front. So again the dragon and the eagle. So I had to find out more.
I googled "chinese dragon and eagle". The first results mentioned China (dragon) and USA (eagle). I hadn't even thought about it before from a modern viewpoint. Maybe the whole dragon vs eagle is some eternal Illuminati obsession. They create to opposing forces to battle each other, like some neverending chess game. In the past the dragon and eagle were something else, now they're USA and China, and if the cycle continues they'll be something else in the future. Battling just because they're scripted to do so with no convern for the collateral casualties.
