For many months I have pondered on what Draco must
personify. Very recently I worked out that Draco's
parents must personify the physical body if Dobby
personifies the etheric body, because that's what the
etheric body is shackled to. This was confirmed by the
name Narcissa, as I told you yesterday.
Then it suddenly hit me. I asked myself, if
the Malfoys are the physical body, their son must be
something in the physical body, part of it. Draco
means snake, so what in the body could be called
"snake"? Then it hit me! It's so obvious! The spinal
cord! And the exciting thing is, in a recent post I
told you that the force within the spinal cord is
called the serpent-fire. So that's my conclusion:
Draco personifies the spinal cord with the fiery
serpent-force that rules the cerebro-spinal system.
To some of you this may sound far-fetched, but this is
entirely consistent with the teachings of liberation.
The new soul, Harry, is born. This is a new vital
force that spreads through the blood to the head. From
there it descends down the right string of the
sympathetic nervous system. It defeats the kundalini
as symbolised in book 2, and then ascends along the left
string of the sympathetic nervous system. Meanwhile
the old serpent-fire in the spinal cord just carries
on supporting the government of the physical body and
carrying the commands of the old consciousness, which
is a creature of Lucifer.
To make Harry Potter such an exciting and intriguing
book, Jo exaggerates and over-dramatises things. The
point about Draco is that the new soul-force, though
increasing in power and strength within the apprentice
alchemist, is hampered in its development by the old
serpent-fire if this engages in ego-centric activities.
To go the Path of Alchemical Liberation, the whole four-
fold system of the candidate for liberation has to co-operate
in self-surrender to the new soul-force. We as normal
human beings are not used to that type of living. As I
said in my post on Peter, we are used to fending for
ourselves and making sure we survive in life. As soon
as the new soul is born, we must stop doing that and
reverse our way of living by totally surrendering to
the new soul. It will then take care of our life. That
is the real meaning of conversion. We must surrender
completely to the new soul and let him, Harry, rule our lives.
However such a complete reversal of one's way of life
is not accomplished overnight and especially in the
beginning the candidate makes many mistakes because
old habits die hard. He often makes egocentric
decisions which harm the new soul-force that is slowly
descending down the sympathetic cord. Jo symbolises
this as Draco being horrible to Harry.
Despite Draco's taunts and jibes Harry keeps growing
in strength and grace, and eventually, after defeating
the kundalini, he moves up the left string of the
sympathetic nerve. On the way up he turns the chakras
in the opposite direction to how they were turning
before. Then, when he reaches Dumbledore's office,
i.e. the pineal gland and the crown chakra, he enters
the light-birth of God. This is the moment the Holy
Spirit descends into the alchemist and he sees God for
the first time. At that same moment the new soul fills
the cerebro-spinal system. Until then it filled only
the sympathetic strings in the spine, but now it fills
the spinal cord as well. The serpent-fire is reborn
and is now immortal.
I don't know how Jo will describe this. Either Draco
will die and Harry take his place, or, as I think more
likely, Draco will surrender to Harry and become his
ally. In any case, Harry will replace Draco.
I tend to think that Jo will make the Malfoys see the
error of their ways and serve Harry somehow, with all
three Malfoys coming to Harry's aid. The successful
apprentice, as soon as he becomes a fully qualified
alchemist, uses his physical body to help people find
the Path of Liberation as long as his body lasts. As
long as he has a physical body people can see him and
he can communicate with them. So that's how I think
the Malfoys will end up, by assisting Harry when he
has become a Bodhisattva.
I know it seems unlikely at the moment, but that's my
prediction.

Yesterday I mentioned that Lucius is a special part of
the physical body. Let's work it out. His son is pale
and has a long, pointed face. Lucius is also pale. In
Draco's case the longevity points to the length of the
spinal cord and the paleness is the colour of the spinal
cord. Ergo: Lucius is the brain with its consciousness.
The spinal cord is a kind of "son" of the brain. It
comes out of the brain, doesn't it?
Dear Friends, there may be some among you who think
I'm making all this up as I go along. "There's no such
thing as serpent-fire" or whatever. However I challenge
you to type "serpent-fire" into your search engine and
see whether I'm making all this up. I just did this and
this is what I found at
http://www.levity.com/alchemy/secret-fire.html:
"In the East, all practices, whether designated as such
or not, are designed to awaken the semi-dormant energy
resident in all creation, and living beings in
particular. This energy is known as Kundalini,
The Serpent Fire, and the Dragon depending on
tradition."
Just to remind you: Draco means either Dragon or a kind
of serpent in Latin. NB I don't in any way endorse the
contents of the website referred to.
The main reactions to my posts are from people who
deny the validity of the Process of Liberation. These
people forget the point that I'm not arguing the
validity of the process itself (although only an idiot
would not recognise my enthusiasm about it) but whether
Harry Potter is a symbolical representation of this
process. I hope the facts in this post have helped
prove this. There is a lot more to come!
