Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds, part 3 – The Serpent and the Lotus
The Christian mystics called Kundalini Shakti; Holy Spirit.
“and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up.”
Pharaohs and gods are depicted with awakened energy whereby the Kundalini snake moves up the spine and pierces “Ajna chakra” between the eyes. This is referred to as the eye of Horus. In the Hindu tradition the bindi is also representative of the third eye; the divine connection to spirit. King Tutankhamen’s mask is a classic example showing both the snake and bird motifs. The Mayan and Aztec traditions combine the serpent and bird motif into one god. Quetzalcoatl or Kukulkan. The plumed serpent god represents the awakened evolutionary consciousness or awakened Kundalini. The person who awakens Quetzalcoatl within themselves is a living manifestation of the divine. It is said that Quetzalcoatl, or serpent energy, shall return at the end of time. The snake and bird symbols can be found within Christianity as well. Their true meaning may be more deeply encrypted but the meaning is the same as in other ancient traditions. In Christianity, the bird or dove often seen above Christ’s head represents Holy Spirit or Kundalini Shakti as it rises to the sixth chakra and beyond.
The Christian mystics called Kundalini Shakti by another name; Holy Spirit. In John 3:12 it says, “and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up.
