"The Gnostics related the serpent to the mysterious energy of the primordial waters symbolized in the waves of the undulating serpent as well as the stirrings within the serpentine spinal cord of man. The stirrings surface from the abyss of the unconscious, sometimes unexpectedly and with peremptory and terrible effects. Jung related the serpent to the overwhelmingly destructive potential of the unconscious and recorded a great variety of serpent dreams experienced by his patients. Just as the mythical serpent of Midgard sleeps before it awakens to destroy the universe, so the frail vessel of waking human consciousness veils the unchartered depths of the unconscious. Dreams, or perhaps great courage, deliver some into the gorge of the abyss, but for most the serpent sleeps – even among those who worship him. In ancient Greece people would ask the healing god Aesculapius for a dream indicating a cure for their maladies. His method is demonstrated in a bas-relief showing the god beside his serpent which is biting a man's diseased shoulder, following which the god heals the shoulder. Aesculapius not only retained the serpent symbol but was himself called a Serpent. His very name is composed of aish, meaning 'man,' shkul, meaning 'to instruct,' and aphe, meaning 'serpent.' The unregenerate serpent destroys like the wild snakes around Medusa's head. The controlled serpent becomes a force to be utilized for superior purposes. Medusa is finally overcome by Perseus who stands as a symbol for order."~X
“You’re walking the labyrinth of life. Yes, you’re meant to move forward, but almost never in a straight line. Yes, there’s an element of achievement, of beginning and ending, but those are minor compared to the element of being here now. In the moments you stop trying to conquer the labyrinth of life and simply inhabit it, you’ll realize it was designed to hold you safe as you explore what feels dangerous. You’ll see that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, meandering along a crooked path that is meant to lead you not onward, but inward.”~Martha Beck
