Methods of the Serpent

This mystery is conveyed in the words of the scriptures: NOW THE SERPENT
WAS MORE SUBTLE THAN ANY OTHER WILD CREATURE THAT YHVH
ELOHIM HAD MADE. The awful serpent wanted to realize his goal: to defile
the upper holiness by beginning to contaminate man here in the lower world.
Recognizing the manner of construction of all the courses of water, he
understood that causing the water of a stream to be briny would, in effect,
reach all the way to the great sea. That is why he came to seduce man down
here (on earth): in order to intercept the inferior watercourses with the major
ones. The serpent had thus brought on the death of the world. He emanated
from the left side. He was able to furtively enter the interior of man. But
there is another serpent which emanated from the right side. Both serpents
accompany man throughout his life.
