"What is the relationship between the serpent and the dove? They represent the two opposing aspects of the same energy - sexual energy. The dove is none other than the serpent sublimated. It teaches us that anything that crawls on the earth may one day be able to take to the air and fly.The serpent represents primitive sexual power, and it is very wily! As is written in Genesis: 'Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made.' It is impossible to count all the possible means that humans resort to so as to escape the serpent, but it presents and arranges things in such a way that, more often than not, it ends up gaining the upper hand. Someone will say, 'There! I won't succumb to temptation, I'll resist...' But at the very last moment, having failed to foresee the trap the serpent could lay for them, they fall into it. And they will keep doing so until they succeed intransforming the serpent within into a dove, that is to say, in transforming human love into spiritual love, which will lift them away from the earth and allow them to know the freedom of infinite space."
