>>11664752>>11664787>>11664784Notice the snakes symbolism of the kundalini in Hinduism - just like an Egyptian Uraeus, or the caduceus.
Did these people really worship the snake or did they just understand the symbolism and understand that the true task of man is to become master of his serpent, lest it becomes his master.
What does the Snake really mean? I'll tell you: Shakti. Nature.
This gets to the very thesis-antithesis of our metaphysical existence:
>The higher aspects of mind and spirit (the connection to source, i.e. holy spirit, the eternal atman) vs. the vitality of matter (the serpent, beast, kundalini, satan, dragon, i.e. the magnetic base that attempts to climb it’s way back to source through the novelty generation); >In other words: the steadfast sustaining life force (Being) vs. the chaotic evolutionary force (Becoming)The task of man is to reign in his serpent, become the master of it, and achieve a balance between these dualistic sustaining and evolutionary forces. In Jungian terms, this is known as the reconciliation and integration with one’s shadow.
