Greetings all and welcome. As always, happy to have you here.
I worked on this a few evenings. Freehand sketches that reflected my current state of mind. At this time, I was going through a period of mistrust. Not knowing what thoughts were true or not. The serpent arose I believe because the words it spoke to me were kind but its motivation came from a dark place. A place of selfishness.
At this time I did not know who to trust. Doubt of others and myself clouded my mind. Time, energy, emotion was all being sucked from me and yet I continued on. Although in this place many times before, as I am older now, I was able to recognize the truth behind the smooth tongue of the serpent. Visions of darkness and spirits were present in the most quiet times when one thinks they are alone. Yet the darkness comes in many forms and has many messengers.
Thankfully, the light outweighs the darkness and I can see once again. It is vital to stay vigilant. You must never let your guard down when walking on the spiritual path. This physical world is but an illusion, and being such it can appear to us in many ways. When you are well prepared you can navigate the dark days, the stormy seas, know that they will pass. When unprepared however, you think that the only thing that exists in this world is darkness.
Stay vigilant everyone. Stay in the light. Look within and find the light. Bring it to the surface and let it shine for all the world to see.
