Revelation of The Serpent
Posted: 08 Jan 2022 02:05
The symbol of the snake is one of the most common symbols used in the occult. In esoteric literature, the serpent is often associated with secret wisdom, even from Lucifer.
The snake is an ancient symbol of divinity and transcendence, associated with wisdom and enlightenment. The caduceus (a staff entwined by two snakes) is used today as a symbol of medicine. The ouroboros (an encircling serpent) symbolizes eternity, wholeness, and the cyclical nature of existence. The snake is also a symbol of healing, as seen in the caduceus and Rod of Asclepius (a staff with one serpent encircling it).
In Gnostic circles, the snake represents immortality, especially through gnosis (spiritual knowledge). In Hinduism, the snake is a symbol of fertility and power. In Buddhism, it also represents wisdom, even the journey to enlightenment.
In Western culture, the snake has been used as a symbol of evil since the time of Adam and Eve’s temptation in the Garden of Eden. The serpent tempted our first parents to disobey God, resulting in their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, however the Gnostic interpretation of these events reveals to us the true nature of our reality.
The God of the Old Testament deceived Adam and Eve by saying the fruit of knowledge would cause their death. The serpent, however, revealed to Adam and Eve that if they ate the fruit of knowledge they would become like gods themselves. This is a rather strange promise from a lowly creature who crawls on it's belly; it also does not make sense for God to lie about the forbidden tree of knowledge. The serpent's pronouncement is therefore more credible than God's utterance, as Adam and Eve did not die upon eating the fruit.
The serpent was actually trying to help Adam and Eve by showing them the true nature of the realm that Yaltabaoth, the false God, had created for them. The serpent of Genesis is actually a symbol of Lucifer, the light bearer, whom revealed to Adam and Eve their true reality as divine beings, allowing us to reconcile God's command against eating from the tree with Adam and Eve's experience upon doing so: they did not die, but rather experienced an awakening into their true nature as divine beings, proving the serpent true and God (Yaltabaoth) a liar.
Then we may ask, who truly is Lucifer in this context? By his actions he is a savior, the spirit of truth, even the spirit of enlightenment, who brings knowledge to us. The serpent is not a symbol of evil, but rather one of wisdom and illumination.
Lucifer is Christ, the savior who brings knowledge and salvation to mankind.
