Snake worship is about
kundalini, the coiled serpent, or
serpent-fire which in one sense is responsible - being the
active correlate to and expression of the Principle of
Buddhi - for all of Creation.
Worshipping the
reptile in some blind, unthinking sense is as silly as
worshipping rocks, dirt or a television. It is like saying that Hindus worship cows, instead of understanding the correlation with the Star Sirius in the heavens,
with its relation to the Seven Rishis and Their Wives [Ursa Major, plus
the Pleiades]. Notice, however, that
`dirt-worshippers' is a derogatory term we have - many of us - heard before. New Age folks often do
crystal-gazing, or scrying, yet most are not ignorant or unintelligent enough to
bow down to so-called `heathen idols,' whether or not they have a statue of
Buddha, or
Siva Nataraj, on their altar. However, I
do believe that the kind of attention given to
widescreen TVs, or even those little things now stuffed into the back of headrests in
sub-urbans, pretty much
does constitute a primitive form of worship - if unbeknownst or not really, wittingly intended by the
worshippers [`viewers'] themselves
. Granted, if we
time traveled back a few hundred, or thousand years, and showed
this technology to the people of that time, we all pretty much know what they'd think, where that'd get us, etc.
Consider the
Maya, or the Egyptians. Also
recite the Gayatri, and observe carefully what is being stated, affirmed,
Praised. These ancient Peoples did not, and do not,
worship a giant, inanimate, magical ball of gas and plasma. Anyone who believes that, is as ignorant as the
flesh-worshippers who somehow think that
Jesus, flesh and blood, is what
Christianity is all about. Even the Sacrifice, the Incarnation, Communion and
other Sacraments are utterly, almost entirely misunderstood by a large portion of today's followers ... although I have
great Faith and Trust that the current Pope will help to dispel much of this bunk, the
stupor-stitous mumbo-jumbo.
Surya, Helios, Ra,
the Aten/Aton, etc. ... is to esotericists,
including Esoteric followers within all traditions ... a mighty,
living BEING, as well as the Source of ALL LIFE - and even ALL FORM -
thus also all Consciousness, within our Solar System. As such, terminologies and references [to `HIM'] include
`Solar Logos' - and any person with eyes will notice the correlation between the words
solar, Sol and
SOUL. Give the blind another few million years,
and we might just all be on the same page.
But give the religionists, the materialist-reductivist, logical-positivist scientific types, and the
blind philosophers who wield only Ockham's Razor and excess zeal, a few more
whacks at it, and pretty soon, we'll not only have destroyed
Earth's own delicate System of symbiotic, cooperative relationships and partnerships [the proof, already, of
Brotherhood as a Principle in NATURE] ... we will also stamp out all acknowledgment of the S*N (or
S*Ns) as being the HEART of ALL LIFE in a given System, and we will even
shun the vitalizing, sustaining, nourishing existence of Prana - and perhaps retreat underground, lose our eyes, and
wander aimlessly, like some kind of cave-dwelling fish-people, waiting again through long kalpas for
Dagon, Oannes, Poseidon-sent Fish-Savior.
Alas,
the nescience ...
