It’s almost comical to see modern science tell us that the Serpent Mound in Ohio was built by Indians when they could barely get up each day to eat food.  About an hour east of Cincinnati, the Serpent Mound is one of the most mysterious places on earth and is revered archaeologically as high or higher as the Great Pyramids of Giza.  What makes Serpent Mound so astonishing is the very advanced mathematics and knowledge of the stars that it would have taken a culture thousands, if not millions of years, to develop.  Admittedly, I have been to the Serpent Mound site lots of times.  I have even gone there to think and get away from the world’s chaos on really bad days.  If I’m having a terrible day, don’t be surprised if you find me there reading a book, or looking at some crop circle that sometimes happens across the street from the park entrance.  When I go to Serpent Mound, I think about many things, but it’s never about Indians.  The site was never intended to be a burial mound for a ceremonial culture.  But a reference to the stars and, specifically, the constellation Draco.  It truly has an ancient feeling to the place that is bizarrely intelligent, not the sentiments of a hunter-gatherer culture.  Even more mysteriously, the entire site is built on the edge of a massive crater left over from a crypto explosion many millions of years ago.  So, how did they know where to put the Serpent Mound when there isn’t any evidence to the naked eye of this explosion?  The people who pay reverence to the site with the construction of Serpent Mound would have had to know what the geology under the ground would eventually show, and that is the alarming part of the place and the peek back in time toward an entirely different global civilization that nobody has yet figured out because they are asking all the wrong questions about the evidence that we do have.  We had a global civilization of star worshipers who used to build earth effigies that contained very advanced mathematics.  And something happened to them that was very traumatic. 

It’s coming up a lot lately because of the recent terrorist attack in New Orleans from a radical practitioner of Islam; what is the primary difference between the Christian Bible and the Muslim Quran?  That’s an interesting question because both religions have many of the same characters, so how could they have such a radically different approach to the world?  One pronounced difference is that Islam and Christians have almost the same Adam and Eve story, except in Islam, the Devil is the villain.  In the Jewish and Christian faiths, the snake gives Eve the apple and tells her to eat from the knowledge of good and evil.  The more you dig, the more it is realized that the religion of the Arab people, the same descendants of Mesopotamia, and the original antagonizers from the Land of Canaan were these same people.  And that Yahweh’s fight against them traces back to this essential difference.  In Islam, the snake could be a jinn, a helpful or harmful spirit.  This view of snakes traces back to an Empire of Snake worshippers who had an obsession with star worship and traumatic crises culturally when it comes to the memory of the constellation Draco, Sirius, and many others.  Things get wild when we consider that Thuban, the pole star, lines up with Serpent Mound from approximately 3942 BCE to 1793 BCE.  And if that was the only case with those dates, we might assume somebody made a mistake.  But this same kind of math can be found in the Pyramids, Stonehenge, and even at another giant earth effigy just to the south of downtown Hamilton, Ohio, at the Fortified Hill complex, which during the same period lines up to the constellation Pleiades.  If you want to check it out for yourself, just visit Pyramid Hill Park, and you’ll get a fascinating perspective on the scale of our subject. 

To Islam, the snake is beneficial, just as it is viewed in most cultures of the world with ancient reverence, especially in the Orient, where serpents, dragons, and all species of snakes are seen as helpful entities, not enemies.  But to Western culture, dragons are to be slain.  Snakes are the embodiment of evil.  And to this very day, at the center of conflict between Christianity and Islam is the reverence of the snake and what we should or shouldn’t be doing with them.  For the same reasons that modern archaeologists can’t figure out the Serpent Mound’s relationship to the constellation Draco, they are looking for Indians who would evolve even to begin to understand those kinds of things. What they miss is a clear understanding of the kind of rebellion that Yahweh was advocating for, which is clearly expressed in the Bible as a crisis against the global power of snake worship that inspired the conquest of the land of Canaan to begin with.  And that’s where things really start to get interesting, especially when the most common theme that emerges from the use of psychedelics in religion shares a relationship with snakes as one of the primordial terrors that come from visits to the spirit world today.  Practitioners of the ayahuasca experience that shamans from South America utilize and have become very popular, know what I’m talking about. Most all experience snakes as dominant figures in that hidden kingdom.  And it looks like it was primarily psychedelics in the form of mushrooms or other plant-based agents that helped form the basis for the world’s religions.  And Yahweh was rebelling against the Empire of the Snakes, not submitting to them. 

Therefore, we had an entire world that traded with each other for obviously tens of thousands of years.  Probably much longer.  They did not behave as modern scientist lazily concluded, and that is as hunter and gatherers who migrated to North America from the Jomon people emerging out of Japan and crossing the Bering Strait without any advanced knowledge of the greater heavens that wasn’t at the center of their worship, a crisis for them in great turmoil yearning for celestial bodies.  I have also been to many Jomon sites in Japan, dating from 14,000 BCE to around 300 BCE. Many of their artifacts can be found buried offshore when sea levels were over 400 feet lower during the Ice Age.  All this matters in understanding the vast difference in Western civilization, how it works, and why the East is and will always be at war with it.  Islam is a religion of the East.  Their concepts of the jinn, evil spirits, are almost identical to the Japanese kami and the spirits of the Indians.  And they all stand, just as the land of Canaan did, against the advancement of Western civilization and its blaming of the snake for all that went wrong in the world, as opposed to an artificial Devil as Islam does.  And with that straightforward distinction, we see the root cause of much of the trouble.  The Empire of the Snake is old and global.  It took a rebellion to stand against it and overthrow it, which was captured in the Jewish stories about the conquest of the Land of Canaan and why that was necessary.  It also explains why those who still worship the snake have so much trouble in the world and why Western civilization can be said to be so much better.  Because the anxiety of snake worship never took that global civilization to a healthy psychological place.  We will find the same crises once we land on other stars, such as Mars, and find ourselves homesick to beliefs that resonated from those faraway places.  Only to have a religion come along and fight against that ancient reverence and deal with what is before us in a psychologically healthy way.  At the heart of that, we can then understand why Islam will always be at war with Christians because, for them, the snake and its old empire is a cry for home, a sense of belonging that they will never have again.
