The snake of course is the metaphor of Opposing Consciousness - that which has instigated the control system.

In terms of creation, we are far more powerful than most people will ever imagine. Spiritual circles have gotten a glimpse of it when they speak of 'manifesting the reality they want'. But it is just a dim shadow of the real thing and another deception.

We are master creators. When you truly awaken to the interplay between your inner state and outer one, slowly but surely, you realise how you're creating everything - in concert with others of course.

That's why acceptance is so important. But then recognition also - to seek to understand what you're seeing and why?

Don't expect to necessarily understand immediately. Just keep watching with an open question. Then the universe will reveal itself.
