a world of purity that has no rules at all.
Original Eden
The Serpent of Attunement
Love moves in a crooked line — and always has.
How can humanity bridge all paths? At the deepest level, all authentic spiritual paths point to the same truth: we are not separate from the Divine. The mystics of every tradition have discovered this. When we move beyond dogma into direct experience, the walls between paths dissolve naturally.
The serpent is attunement – love moves in a crooked line.
A symbol reclaimed from fear, toward clarity of how energy moves. Consider there are multiple ways to interpret Genesis.
The serpent represents kundalini – the primal life force coiled at the base of the spine. Far from the “tempter” of simplified interpretations, the serpent archetype is of awakening: the rise of consciousness through the body’s energy centers. It is transformation, shedding of old skins, and rebirth.
Eve learned: “The Tree Of Knowledge 🌳 …it was enchanting and educational. 🌿 🍎 Just don’t eat the apples!”
Simply meaning: don’t do something stupid. But freedom to seek truth, ineptly even, can be innocent… guilt and shame free. The serpent is the path winding through all the opposites… teasing, warning, rattling all the way.
Yes, it can be enticing and even scary … Safe guiding posts and support can help a LOT.
THAT IS LIFE
What Was The Garden of Eden?
The Garden of Eden did not need to be a place – it is a state of consciousness. We “return” by releasing shame, healing separation, and remembering our original innocence. Through stillness, through the body, through breath – we discover that paradise has been within us all along, waiting to be recognized. Yes, the golden age has always been within!
For those with Christian roots: The serpent actually carries positive biblical symbolism too – Jesus instructed his devotees to “be wise as serpents” (Matthew 10:16), and Moses’ bronze serpent was raised as a symbol of healing in the wilderness. The serpent can represent kundalini, the sacred life-force energy that rises through the body, and not just the evil “seductor” narrative. “Slain in the spirit, anointed, and rapture” are more Christian terms for this.
Eve and Adam are no longer ALONE. We now are individualized and sovereign, plus we have each other. We need our inner vision awake, our ground steady – even with euphoria, dark night, rapture, or the deepest transcendence.
We are co-creating a shame-free, healthy, wondrous world, one breath at a time. This type of work, quite frankly, is a rare find. Feel free to browse my FAQs page for more detail.
