Hermes Trismegistus does the first frase look familiar?
βAs above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soulβ¦β - Hermes Trismegistus The Caduceus - Magical Staff of Hermes Talon Abraxas βThe caduceus teaches that the awakening of the Kundalini, the serpent fire, is the raising of consciousness from the base of the spine to the crown, with the Third Eye as the gateway to the infinite, where the wings of the soul take flight.β Manly Hall MERCURY'S ROD... The CADUCEUS, or 'staff of Hermes,' symbolises healing, TRANSFORMATION, and spiritual awakening. A medical and spiritual SYMBOL, its twin SERPENTS, Pingala and Ida, represent KUNDALINI energy 'ascending' the SPINE to attain WINGS of enlightenment and 'divine union.' Akin to the (two in) oneness of the BAPHOMET, that reflects the MERGING of 'dualities'... masculine and feminine, into ONE, the 'androgyn.' Some interpret this as 'rebellion,' OPPOSING God's 'separation' of man and woman in the 'earthly' realm. From an ESOTERIC perspective, it represents DUALITY and the 'reconciliation' of OPPOSITES... male and female, light and dark, spirit and matter, a spiritual ASPIRATION to 'return' to divine UNITY, from which 'duality'... is said to have ORIGINATED.
