The Union of the Snake (US cartoon)
There are so many levels to the tempting of Adam’s wife in Genesis, chapter 3, it’s difficult to decide if the Serpent is good or evil. What we’ve been taught is that the Serpent caused mankind to fall, and that is the reason we’re presently in our low estate, But the Gnostics saw the Serpent’s true purpose which was to spiritually awaken us from our slumber, and open our eyes to the truth of our purpose and existence.
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
It’s quite telling that “God” didn’t know where Adam and his wife were hiding in the Garden. When “He” heard that they realized their nakedness, “He” made them coverings of skin (put them in bodies) and sent them out of the Garden. Only then does Adam name his wife, Eve, as she would become the mother of all mankind.
“God” was worried that they could eat from the Tree of Life and become immortal. What exactly is the Tree of Life? The chakra system in our bodies.
The Serpent may have been Semjaza, as the seductress of humanity. That, my friends, is no Snake.
