Symbology: Quidditch and Liberation

Continuing my theory that HP is an allegory for the universal Path of
Liberation, I would like to examine quidditch to see what message it
contains.

It appears that the wand originated in ancient Egypt. The early wand was
actually a caduceus. Thats a stick with a serpent wound around it.

Id like to discuss especially the caduceus carried by Hermes or Mercury.
View a straight rod held vertically, with a sphere at the top and a smaller
sphere at the bottom. The top sphere has two wings extending from it. Around
the rod are two serpents intertwined around each other and the stick three
times.

In liberating symbology this wand or staff symbolizes the liberated human
being. The top sphere symbolizes the consciousness. It has wings to
symbolize the heights to which it can rise and the speed with which it can
move. The rod is the spinal column, the two serpents (among many levels of
meaning) symbolize the two strings of the sympathetic nervous system on the
right and left of the spinal cord. The lower sphere is the unconscious mind,
and its mirror in the plexus sacralis (the sacred plexus!). The basilisk
(kundalini) which normally sleeps there has been killed. Conscious and
unconscious are united. There is total harmony.

Of course the golden snitch is the top part of the caduceus: the new
consciousness!  Quidditch is an allegory within an allegory, to press the
point home as it were.

Harry is the reborn soul. He is the seeker for the new consciousness. He
flies among players who belong to two opposite teams. Quidditch is a game of
two opposing forces. Yes, obviously, so what, I hear you say. 

Well my theory is that there are two universes: the universe of opposites
and the universe of Love. We all know the bi-polar universe. All of us
continuously make our way between two poles, between dark and light, between
hatred and love, war and peace, life and death. I have a theory that HP is
the roadmap to a parallel universe which is not bi-polar. I believe it is
our original home and our destination. 

I read a very recent post, in which the writer said, no love without hate.
That is true in our universe. We define everything by comparing it to its
opposite. However in the Universe of Love things are not defined at all.
There is the original spirit (God, Adona, Jehovah, Allah, call it what you
like) and there is the original living creation, living in eternal growth to
ever greater divinity and glory, according to a Divine Plan. There is no
such thing as sin. What we call sin is the deviation from the Divine Plan,
which results in immediate ejection from the Universe of Love, not by an
arbitrary act of an angry God but by a natural law. Its like a swimmer in
an extremely fast moving current. You swim with the current: you get places.
Swim against it and you end up in big trouble.

What has all this to do with quidditch? Well, what happens when the seeker
catches the snitch? The game ends! Its the end of the interplay of
opposites! The consciousness is at harmony.

There are people who want JK Rowling to have the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Id say wholeheartedly YES! But give her the Peace Prize as well. For she is
showing us the way to ETERNAL PEACE.
