Consider: All
power, all dominion being expressed in Genesis is
male power, that of the Lone Male and the Lone Male's
god.
The Serpent, then, has to have some
relationship to this Lone Male power, because
female power does not and cannot stand on its own.
She was not born, and any powers she has are
expressions of Lone Male power – Rib power, so to speak.
The Serpent, then, is
also a male power. But,
What type of male power?
It is that of the male which
can and does speak to the female.
Where did the Serpent
come from? Where does this type of male power, which
speaks to the feminine, come from? As the Rib account in Genesis ends,
the source of the Serpent's existence and power remains unexplained.
What is clear is that Abrahamics hate the Serpent.
For them it stands (has over millennia) as a symbol of everything
that is wrong with the world. Indeed, they hold that the world,
as it
is today, is a Serpent’s world.
Upon reflection, the Serpent as that
of the male which speaks with the female sheds light on the Abrahamic
sense of maleness. As with Adam, Abrahamic males not only
do not but they cannot talk with
the female. They have no such capacity.
What, then, is the
type of maleness which does not speak to the female?
It is that type which apes and imitates the
female and female ways.
As Adam’s body is forwarded in Genesis as
the birthing body, so does Abrahamic maleness act as
if it is the female body. Adam “pretends” to
be the mother, though, of course, he is duped by
his god who puts him into a deep sleep, either through some form
of hypnosis or herbal drug potion. This is all pretty wild and weird imagery.
