    Years ago I saw a Jet Li movie called The White Snake. In the movie, the White Snake fell in love with an Herbalist. Jet Li played a wandering priest with an acolyte who killed demons who wouldn't repent and pay homage to Buddha. In the end, after capturing the white snake and imprisoning her, Li's character relents and lifts up the tower she was imprisoned in so the herbalist could be with her for a time. The Herbalist never left her prison and always swept away any debris that accumulated around it. Good movie, I do recommend it.

    Well you know here he goes again..on his own...going...down the only road...he's ever known. He's a prisoner of this mythology because.. he's born to walk alone. Well..at least he made up his serpent mind...he wouldn't waste no more time.

    They are lying. Love CANNOT turn a Serpent into a peaceful creator being because a serpent is a creation that is the embodiment of the opposing force against love! Whilst love creates, the serpent destroys! And this is a fundamental of all eternity. Only a being that was once created with the ability to love can be loved back into peace again but only if that being chooses to be loved. Whereas a being that was created from the beginning as a destructive force against love like the serpent then that being CANNOT be loved because it doesn't even understand what love is and therefore can never choose to be loved because it was created that way to not be able to understand love.
