The snake, or serpent, is a great symbol of time, and the windings of it are viewed as the uncountable cycles of time. Many scriptures of this world speak of dragons and serpents. However, if we search for their esoteric meaning and meditate on their symbolism, they convey a transcendental, spiritual concept and reveal the levels of wisdom in us. If we took these images literally, we would develop an odd understanding. Thus, a horse does not mean a horse, but rather it stands for the life principle the bird stands for the pulsation and the bull for the word or language. The images being used for this are not to be taken literally. Allegories serve to put subtle teachings across to the average intelligence and to awaken intuition. 156 Indulging Your Vice.The scriptures contain many allegoric and mystic tales. 92 Crew Upgrades.95 Cohorts.96 Cohort Harm & Healing.97 Crew Creation Summary.99 ASSASSINS. 52 Character Creation Summary.57 Actions.58 48 PC Advancement.48 Crew Advancement.49 Changing Playbooks or Crew Type.49ĬHARACTER CREATION.
