Miguel Serrano - The Master Fights the Serpent [The Serpent of Paradise]

This brief chapter of "The Serpent of Paradise", a book written mainly in India, published in 1960, apparently a minor section within the work, is really the poetic narration of a fundamental break in the mystical path of Meister Serrano, which describes the moment of separation from his lifelong Master, who always lived in a manner which could be considered extra-human, a prisoner of gigantic myths. Although for both the incursion into the world beyond was an act of war without a truce, where they were always on the same side, after the search in India there were images that were now incompatible with the path that the disciple was opening for others, and that break became a symbol of rupture in the "crucified one". It was no longer possible for the Meister Serrano to understand Jesus except through his own image, devoid of any theosophical or Judeo-Christian link, since now the only Christ possible for him was the Christ of Atlantis, that is, the "Christ of Miguel Serrano", who was always an Aryan archetype, the archetype of Wotan, the one crucified on the Irminsul.
