I am very sorry to say this, but it's a fact, Serpent is a cultural symbol,  
not universal...
 
Snake or serpent does not appear to have any importance in Chinese culture  
(3000 years of civilization) except for a romantic legend.
 
Furthermore, we practice energy work to reach a clear mind, which opens us  
up to love and reverence, not to have our mind altered to reach some  
questionable state.  Why do you think Ching Dynasty was so corrupted?  opium  
is in the answer.
 
We are always free, if we choose to be free, no matter we are in prison or  
in the open air.  If one needs to have anything other than him/herself to be  
free, then he/she is not truly free, he/she is a dependent of the thing  
he/she needs to be free.
 
I am sorry to have said what I said, but I simply cannot agree.
