The Metaphor Of Serpents

The scriptural figure of a serpent as being an agent of Evil, is based on some simple visual logic:

The snake appears to have a head inside of which there must be a flattened kind of brain, one that definitely does not have the large amount of neurons and connections that say a whale or an elephant does possess.

Its body switches back on itself regularly when it moves (although believe me, I have seen snakes spear forwards to strike in extremely straight lines) - which is a visual metaphor for deception and 'back-tracking.'

The snake is antipathetic to the human because the human's best qualities involve its ability to have many neuron connections and many complex ones - the human can make intelligent judgments about other humans and other beings; that are rooted in concepts of empathy.

The idea that there are special kinds of angelic beings that are in some way 'flaming' or 'fiery' serpents, is a mistaken translation of a concept to do with the fact that these creatures completely enfold, and can coil around someone - or even an idea so that they command it fully - and are indeed so highly vibrating that they present visually to human perceptions as ignited flames.

What we consider 'evil' as humans, is the harm that is done, especially when it is intentional, and malicious; although we certainly also say that accidental harm is evil in a particular way.

Some snakes have poison as a natural part of their make-up, whereas humans should not at all have such hidden-away actual harmful capacities. Where some go very astray, is that they use their extensive neuron connections to become tool-makers, but then, killing tool makers. They are literally poisonous; toxic. And like creatures with flat heads and not much brains, they do not think about what they are doing.

The kind of sentience that is in human beings is not acceptable to be in the kinds of creatures with no brains and no human heartfulness. It is one thing to 'cast the human' out of the Garden of Eden on account of its decisions to cause harm and to 'know Evil.' 

It is quite another thing to permit this creature to continue with a higher level of sentience inside it whilst at the same time it works diligently to make the tools of envenomation and acquires many means of harming its fellow man.

And this is where the scriptural phrase 'and you will lose your soul -,' comes from.

If a person insists on being the kind of thing that does all of these harmful and misguided actions which impact others - then it is inevitable that they lose their human soul. 

The concept of 'Divine Judgment' is not one of a God-person sitting on a throne somewhere and telling a human person that they are doomed! 

It is the fact that the Universal Field will eventually confront a person with themselves, and in such a way that they must acknowledge that it is them or has been them themselves (that they are looking at) - and that they can choose to go the same way that they were, or select another way. If they choose to go the same way they lose their human sentience.

But making a human sentient choice is just about intention and desire, not about the context that is actually materially obtaining: a snake cannot choose to be a cuddly puppy; it is simply what it is - a snake.

The reason human souls do go round and round in this long-winded cycle of re-incarnation is that they cannot focus on what a truly morally decent physical entity looks like. For after all, despite what they want to say for themselves, they are beings that know Evil. Not many of them want to know it once they do acquire that knowledge. But then they also don't know how to abandon it. So they must live and live again in roughly always the same set of circumstances, with some permutations and combinations altering now and again.

It is only when the individual person decides of themselves, chooses, to turn to another way - that they leave this world forever. 

The Seraphs - those creatures who are nearest to the Throne of God - have bodies that are capable of handling the intense and high frequency vibrations and dynamics of the highest estate (oiketerion/'dwelling'). And these are the beings you will almost immediately encounter once you choose the other way.
