The Serpent as Energy of Regeneration

Question And Answer

Then came that day when the energy that went down into generation is turned around and moves up into regeneration, when the serpent within me turned up as a fiery being right back into my skull from which it came. What a joy now! Just imagine to be able to say, with complete honesty, “If you unveiled the entire world of three and a half billion men and women and put them all before me, they would leave me cold and completely unmoved.” I could not always say that. So, when the attitude is turned down into generation, you don’t have to unveil it all – just one would be enough. But, then, suddenly it turns up, and it is completely turned around from generation into regeneration. Now, unveil the whole vast world before me – it would mean nothing to me. I remain completely unmoved, for the energies have been turned up, where before, they were turned down. They were all turned down – that fiery being, and we simply went berserk, exercising that power in a thousand and one different ways.

The 'serpent within' represents the creative energy that, when directed downwards, leads to 'generation' (procreation and worldly desires), but when 'turned up' and moved into the skull, transforms into 'regeneration,' leading to a state of complete detachment from worldly desires and profound inner peace.
