Q. What is the difference between the Beast and the Serpent in the Bible?

A. I'm going to keep it simple, there is much, much more to this..

"The serpent is actually in you right now, it has its seat in the R-complex of your brain known as the reptilian brain."

When you touch something hot and immediately jerk your finger back without a thought, that is your R-complex at work. Some people will kill you the same way, without thought! This is the serpent. It can be dangerous if not properly controlled."

The beast is/was known as Set in Kemet (this is the analogy of the Seth in Star wars a.ka. Darth Vader the story which was actually stolen from KMT of Asar (Osiris) who is killed by His brother, Set; His grieving widow (Asar) finds Him, briefly reanimates His body, and Her son Heru (Horus, son of Isis) takes His vengeance on His uncle."

Seth in the bible also stolen from this same story of KMT and was born after the slaying of Abel by Cain. When the Hebrews stole this story and changed it (Genesis), Set became Satan. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth

It represented uncontrolled emotions, wildness, gluttony, greed, excessiveness, brutality etc."

It sits on top of our spinal chord in the very core of our brain; it coordinates the nervous system and is governed by the pleasure principle (moving away from pain and towards pleasure).

In Kemet serpents represented a certain very basic energy known as electromagnetic energy. The electric aspect was masculine and the magnetic aspect was feminine. This energy is interwoven thus forming a helix (fig. 1). This is because electric current naturally creates a magnetic field around it, they are thus inseparable.

This energy is running through you right now and it is how your nervous system works. This is the origin the medical symbol that portrays two intertwined serpents (See the Sleeping Serpent meditation) because the balancing of these energies is the essence of all healing.

Now this energy is very subtle... sound familiar? Yup. Right in Genesis 3:1 it tells us that the serpent was more subtle then any other "beast/animal" (force of nature) in the field (earth/Man and woman). In Kemet the serpent was referred to as "Nak" or "Nakebet." And in Genesis, in the original text, there is no "word" that means serpent or snake. The name that is used is "Nakhash" which means "whisperer."

The beast is in you right now, it has its seat in the limbic system in your brain, known as your mammalian brain. It controls your emotions, likes and dislikes etc.

Do you not see the resemblance? (Set--- Sin--- Satan). The so-called "fall of man" was simply the choice not to properly direct and control the urges and emotions that dwell within. Period.

There is nothing mystical or spooky about it, it happens to us everyday to some degree. The key is to recognize the beast and the serpent when they crop up and use our higher faculties of Ma'at (Goddess of Truth) in our cerebral cortex to ignore them when we SEE that it is most beneficial for our development to do so.
