The Yolk of the Son

"The seed is the word of God." Jesus (Luke 8:11)
Picture source unknown.

In the beginning was the prima materia or basic substance of the alchemists, the ouroboric serpent, egg, or seed of potentiality. As the Orphic Egg it contains the potential of the hidden yolk to become a sol like Soul or sun like Son. Prima materia is the Holy Spirit or Ruach Elohim, the fiery breath of God at the outset of creation. It is unrealized libidinal consciousness. It is the plasmateria of the neo-Alchemist; the original bling of Mother Nature.

The Orphic Egg.
"The ouroboros is prima materia, the first matter from which all things are born. This is the essential material that the alchemist must work with to create the Philosopher's Stone. The circle represents the movement of divine energy away from and back toward itself." Francis Melville, The Book of Alchemy.

The fiery breath of consciousness issues forth from the mouth of the Father. "Whoever touches truth touches the mouth of the father at the time when one will receive the holy spirit" (The Gospel of Truth). The holy spiration of volatile consciousness snakes through hisstory. The solar Serpent was a major symbol in Egyptian mythology, and also in early Christianity. But the Catholics broke-up the Unity of the Trinity by splitting-off the Holy Spirit (feminine Serpent, Eve, Sophia) and casting her down into the collective unconscious as the anti-Christ. Consequently, their religion became a lopsided masculine model where the Father and Son still dominate. Jung said, "Christ is also a serpent." Without a conscious understanding of the ouroboric fire of kundalini how can we come to know Christ, "the bright Morning Star" (Rev 22:16).

The gnostic Sethians, Naassenes, Peratae, and Ophites (link) were Serpent worshippers who saw wisdom embodied in the Garden of Eden as the Snake. Jesus said, "Be ye as wise as serpents," and, "Even as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be lifted up" (John 3:14). Was Jesus a gnostic Ophite or Naassene, who was teaching how to raise the Serpent or prima materia up out of matter, via transubstantiation, into the divine substance of New Wine?

In the gnostic, Book of Baruch, by Justin, Naas, Hebrew for serpent, is the 3rd maternal angel created from the union of Elohim and Edem. Naas is also equivalent to the Tree of Knowledge. The serpent, fallen consciousnesss, with the help of human experience, must rise up the Tree toward its potential or goal, the Star of Christic enLightenment. This is what inspires Pagan rituals like hiding easter eggs or placing sacrificial gifts beneath a tree.
~
 
The Christ Tree is where we place the gift of our potentiality. This is a sacrificial act of giving in order to receive. And what I desire to receive is the transformation of my present into the Presence of the Christic Star atop the Tree divine. The serpent, spirit, Naas, kundalini, hatched from the World Egg, is raised on the Tree of Knowledge and sublimated sublime. Libidinal consciousness reaches the apex of phallic ingenuity, spiralling and coalescing into the Self-reflective and sun like Son. The alchemist has created the shining Stone of Solification out of the prima materia of human consciousness.

 ABRAXAS.
~
Hermann Hesse: "Our god is named Abraxas and he is both god and devil at the same time.You will find in him both the world of light and of shadows. Abraxas is not opposed to any of your thoughts or to any of your dreams, but he will abandon you if you become normal and unapproachable."

"The Great Serpent Mound is a 1,348-foot-long, three-foot-high prehistoric effigy mound located on a plateau of the Serpent Mound crater along Ohio Brush Creek in Adams County, Ohio.
The serpent head has an open mouth extending around the east end of a 120-foot-long hollow oval feature. Scholars posit that the oval feature symbolizes an egg or the sun." (Wikipedia).
~
It is thought that the Serpent has in its mouth the Orphic Egg, which perhaps contains the seed potential of the sun-like Yolk. The secret of the spiral unfolds the quantum wave of life, which rises up and births forth itSelf into the so-called Serpent-Sun. "The gnostic Autogenes is the 'self-conceived,' 'self-created,' or 'self-begotten.' Epithet of the divine in many gnostic texts." (The Gnostic Bible). 
~
So here, we can finally see, in this ancient effigy, the impregnation of the Serpent/Spirit into matter. "Om," the quantum and secret "Word" is magically "made flesh" and displayed before us in all its naive and artistic brilliance. The pre-pregnation of virgin matter (mater, mother, matrix) with the quantum blue-print of the ouroboric Serpent  is revealed.
~
The spiricle/wavicle is planted in the ground of materiality, and rises up to flower her Sun/Egg. The crowning of nature bears the fruit of the quantum Child, born of a Serpent. Feminine (Serpent) wisdom reveals her pregnant gnosis, as the incarnation of the "Word" unfolds its own inherent meaning of life. The sublimation of fiery kundalini transforms consciousness into holy or holographic Being.
