Sexuality is Serpentine - (2694)

How Interesting

How interesting is that? That sexuality within the human being is a serpentine power. Serpentine in the sense that it is like a serpent, you know - like a snake.

I have always been intrigued about that. Why does the Divine Mother in the aspect as kundalini take the form of a serpent?

Serpents

Certainly in many cultures the snake is seen to be a symbol of vitality, strength and even healing. In general it is seen to represent the life force.

In the Australian Aboriginal dreamtime or creation myths the key element is the dreamtime serpent.

In terms of structure, snakes are unique. They are the only creatures that are as long as they are and do not have feet. They also shed their skin totally renewing their outer surface every so often.

Some are terribly potent and fast, while others posses tremendous crushing power and can swallow large mammals whole (powerfully digestion).

All of these features are indicators, to me at least that snakes are a definite possessor of great vitality and strength.

Snakes are renown for their astuteness. Such is the result of the sexual force. One who works with the sexual force becomes rather wise in the positive sense, or either rather devilishly astute in the negative sense, if one uses sexuality wrongly.

Key

Anyhow the key of sexuality being serpentine is that sexuality as fire must connect or unite all the centres of the human being. That is brain, heart and sex must be connected, if not the power of sex can not be controlled and a fall will soon precipitate, as brain and heart are there to keep sex in its orbit.

The brain and heart are best connected to sex via a line and such a line is the serpentine nature of sexuality. The sexual force ascends when acted upon voluntarily. It ascends up the spinal column as a climbing serpent.

Or if acted upon negatively it descends downwards in a line, as Master Samael said in relation to the kundabuffer organ, into the atomic infernos of the human being.

Sexuality in many respects is a line. It represents the vertical, either up or down in the quickest way. Ascending it helps us linking us stage by stage to the higher parts of the Being, and descending it helps us accelerating the process of involution so that the essence can be free of the ego once again.
