Hi Open,

I was amazed when I was reading your article yesterday. It was very synchronistic and an immediate shift happened inside of me. I had experienced the black snake coming into my field a short while ago and was really disappointed with myself: how could I let this happen? Why did I yet again let an energy enter my field that does not resonate with the highest version of myself? I was very judgemental about both me and the snake. It felt like I was slowly but steadily being pulled toward that bottom of this physical dimension. Even before the snake appeared....a little time after the Inflexion Point had started to take shape. First the inflexion point seemed to lift me up: I had this deep merger with my higher self but afterwards some part of me started to be drawn and pulled deeper into the matrix-reality. To some degree it felt comfortable but I had this feeling like I was devolving instead of evolving. And now I wonder: was I creating the perfect conditions for this snake to enter? Was the upward movement of the Inflexion Point to pulverising for my old identity to undergo? For some reason I chose to go the bottom of the barrel, likely to make a stern but compassionate statement that all of these old behaviorisms associated with the black snake are essentially not mine and can therefore be transmuted. At least that's what seems to dawn now in my consciousness after reading your article. Last night there was a lot of 'movement' in my abdomen so something seems to be stirred up. Let's wait and see if the snake will turn into a green one. Here are some of my observations regarding the black snake:

• I'm agitated or downright furious more rapidly
• I have a tendency to try and control life more than usual, this ties in with the next one:
• I am fixated and have a stronger believe a certain reality will definitely manifest itself bound strongly by the belief systems of our collective status quo reality. (like you already mentioned above and a very poignant one).
• Yes and also relationship-issues and especially boundaries are a clear manifestation of this gorgeous, velvety, ivory-black snake. In my case: I had to be mindful of what others expected of me especially now this old me is crumbling apart.
• sexuality (trying to) manifest in old power-driven ways.
