The '''Serpents''' were an order of angels on the second ray under [[Archangel Jophiel]]’s command.

The Kundalini is serpentine in appearance as it is coiled at the [[base-of-the-spine chakra]] and raised at will by [[adept]]s to the [[third eye]]. When the Kundalini is awakened, it begins to ascend the spinal column. We see this represented in the [[caduceus]], a symbol of the medical profession. The caduceus is illustrated as a staff with two entwined snakes rising to a pair of wings at the top. As the sacred fire rises on the spinal altar through the two snakes (i.e., the male and female energies), it heals mankind’s diseases. | ||

Serpent is the Wicked One whose seed, along with Satan’s, is sown as tares among the good wheat of the Christic seed. It is this seed who are called [in the New Testament] the offspring of the vipers. “Viper’ is from the Greek translation of the proper name “Serpent,” who, together with the fallen ones of his band, was cast out of heaven and took embodiment on earth where they have continued to reincarnate since the Great Rebellion.<ref>{{OSS}}, chapter 33.</ref> | Serpent is the Wicked One whose seed, along with Satan’s, is sown as tares among the good wheat of the Christic seed.

The Book of Genesis describes how Serpent tempted Eve to partake of the energies of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit—the power, the wisdom, and the love of God—and the use of these to perpetuate the self-centered existence outside of God. Through the critical eyes of the serpent, “the woman saw that the tree was good for food.” This was the temptation of the blue plume of power, the First Person of the Trinity, the Father. The serpent showed the woman that the energy of the Father could be misqualified or used, as he put it, to gain all economic objectives in the world, to acquire wealth and all that was necessary to meet the demands of physical man. | The Book of Genesis describes how Serpent tempted [[Adam and Eve|Eve]] to partake of the energies of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit—the power, the wisdom, and the love of God—and the use of these to perpetuate the self-centered existence outside of God.

Second, through this eye of the serpent, she saw “that it was pleasant to the eyes”—the pride of the eyes in the gratification of the senses, of the emotions, the desire to fulfill the pleasures of these senses. This was the temptation to misuse the light of the Holy Ghost in all types of social interchange, in all of the various exchanges of energies that occur through human attachment. | Second, through this eye of the serpent, she saw “that it was pleasant to the eyes”—the pride of the eyes in the gratification of the senses, of the emotions, the desire to fulfill the pleasures of these senses.

As a result of Serpent’s aggressive influence upon Eve, his status was redefined. In the planes of Matter his hierarchical rank is beneath that of elemental life. This demotion applied to all of the fallen angels and those who followed them in their deprecation of the Word. The fallen angels have less status than the beings of fire, air, water and earth. They are relegated to the astral plane. | As a result of Serpent’s aggressive influence upon Eve, his status was redefined.

Serpent lowered the energies of man and woman to the plane of unholy desire.
