BIBLE VERSES

CURSE ON THE SERPENT

A symbol of limitation of the desire-mind to the lower planes in the soul.

"And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life." - GENESIS iii 14

And the judgment of the Divine nature is that the lower mind is indeed lower in quality than the sub-human desires and instincts which preceded its evolution. It shall remain upon the lower planes, and shall be nourished upon the activities which proceed from the lower nature.
