The probable medical origin of the single serpent around a rod: In ancient times infection by parasitic worms was common. The filarial worm Dracunculus medinensis aka "the fiery serpent", aka "the dragon of Medina" aka "the guinea worm" crawled around the victim's body, just under the skin. Physicians treated this infection by cutting a slit in the patient's skin, just in front of the worm's path. As the worm crawled out the cut, the physician carefully wound the pest around a stick until the entire animal had been removed. It is believed that because this type of infection was so common, physicians advertised their services by displaying a sign with the worm on a stick.

I enjoyed this thread like no other, yet I don't feel right in posting or acknowledging it anymore because something happened during the course of this thread to my very good friend KTK.
I am not blaming anyone, but something got her all stirred up and afraid. She was no dummy and was a long term contributor.
So this is my official exit from the thread, Carry on those of you who feel the need.
I had a very hard time understanding her voice on that. I didn't get a connection between the two threads. I had to give up listening to it. Anyone care to clue me in?

What exactly does this have to do with the thread?
When it came into the mind of the Extended to will to make worlds, and by forth-flowing to utter Emanations, and to emit as attributes, which was the impelling cause of the creation of worlds; then that Light, in some measure compressed, receded in every direction from a particular central point, and on all sides of it drew back, and so a certain vacuum was lift, called void space, its circumference everywhere equidistant from that point which was exactly in the centre of the space...[HIS DOTS] a certain void place and space left in Mid-Infinite: a certain WHERE was thereby constituted wherein Emanations might BE, and the Created, the Fashioned and the Fabricated.
"This world of the garmenting,--this circular vacant space, with the vestiges of the withdrawn light of the Infinite yet remaining, is the inmost garment, nearest to His substance; and to it belongs the name AOR PENAI-AL, Light of the Countenance of God
"The letter Yod, while adhering to the Shekinah, had adhering to himself the Light of the Shekinah, thought his light was not so great as that of the Shekinah. But when he descended, he left that light of his own be-low, and the Splendor consisted of it. After which there was left in Yod only a vestige of that light, inasmuch as he could not reascend to the Shekinah and adhere to it. Wherefore The Holy and Blessed directed the letter He (...,the female letter), to communicate to Yod of her Light; and sent him forth, to descend and share with that light in the Splendor, he diffused abroad in it the Light communicated to him by the letter He

As man (the unit of Humanity) is a microcosm, so Adam Kadmon is a macrocosm, containing all the Causates of the First Cause.....as the Material Man is the end and completion of all creation, so in the Divine Man is the beginning thereof. As the inferior Adam receives all things from all, so the superior Adam supplies all things to all. As the former is the principle of reflected light, so the latter is of Direct Light. The former is the terminus of the Light, descending; the latter its terminus, ascending. As the Inferior man ascends from the lowest matter even to the First Cause, so the Superior Adam descends from the Simple and Infinite Act, even to the lowest and most attenuated Potence
