I was encouraged to meditate on the symbol of the tree with a serpent climbing up with a male form on one side and female on the other.

I had a little present once with a quote from a saint I believe

BE THOU WISE AS A SERPENT AND GENTLE AS A DOVE

Well the symbol also has a DOVE at the top of the tree!

What I came to understand was that by uniting the Male and the female energies or divine energies within that of Mother mater matter and that of the holy father
you bring the spiritual to the material and unite the material to the spiritual.

the energies from the top most point on the tree of kabbala descends to the supernal; mother binah.

When we are truly in balance with our whole and HOLY parents then we shall be Whole Beings. I take that to mean that we shall not be judging what is good or bad right or wrong but we shall do the things that are TRUE to OURSELF. Not how we should like to be or think we ought to be or want others to see us as.

How often do we say we will be more honest truthful and then behave in the opposite and then be unsettled with our little selves. Or argue with our own self in two minds or between heart and head. This is our insanity!!

BUT to BE WHOLE in our thoughts words and actions is to be truely congruent. AND perhaps to truly find the LOVE and PEACE WITHIN.

Ah one can dream!!!!!
