Concerning my post about the serpent race, Blayne responds:
"JJ, me thinks you're throwing us a curve ball here to see how much we'll swallow.
"This does not sit right with me but perhaps I am being too emotional about it? In my view the serpent in the garden was metaphorical. Although I know a few folks today who can definitely be symbolized as reptilian no psychic vision needed LOL!
"But to show my mental side [wink] I am not dismissing it out of hand entirely it can go on the shelf as it's not that important to me either way at this point."
JJ:
You are correct, Blayne, to not go along with any teachings, whether it be from God, angels or men, unless it registers inside. You also show a positive example by placing the teaching on the shelf and not dismissing it out of hand.
I think all of us have a number of teachings on the shelf waiting to see how they fit (or not fit) in.
In fact, this "on the shelf" idea is a principle which plays out even with the highest of lives. The Ancient of Days himself receives teachings from the Solar Logos that must be put on his shelf before he can assimilate.
Perhaps if I give the principle behind this Serpent Race teaching it will make more sense.
On each of the planets similar to earth throughout the universe there is a struggle in evolution between two groups of lives. These two groups are the warm-blooded mammalian and the cold-blooded (but sometimes warm blooded) serpent lives.
On each of these planets, including earth, these two groups achieved the beginnings of humanoid form and consciousness. Because they were so different from each other and the consciousness of that point in evolution is centered on survival of the fittest, there always occurs an evolutionary struggle as to which group will represent the humanoid upon the planet.
In early evolutionary times the serpent lives will dominate, but because the mammalian humanoids are more sensitive to soul contact they eventually prevail, except on a handful of planets which are dominated by the Dark Brothers.
As the mammalian humanoids become dominant, the reptilian race becomes extinct and the serpent entities who are ready for higher evolution incarnate in the race they once saw as inferior. Most of them adapt and move on, but a handful carries with them the desire to dominate and seek to enslave the human race of today.
The creation of Adam in the image of God has a physical aspect to it. Some ancients saw the mammalian humanoids as being in God's image because the higher lives they worshipped always bore this image. The serpent race cannot achieve the spiritual contact necessary to become as the gods ("as one of us").
It is interesting that many of those who claim to have seen extraterrestrials depict these aliens as forms which have evolved from the serpent side.
