the serpent
tree of knowledge so-called the human mind, Adam and Eve, the serpent symbolizing knowledge gain from matter, matter versus Spirit, mortal a burlesque of God’s man, human knowledge proceeds from sensuality an aspect of material sense

the serpent as a symbol of evil deceiving through material sense testimony
     In old Scriptural pictures we see a serpent coiled around the tree of knowledge and speaking to Adam and Eve. This represents the serpent in the act of commending to our first parents the knowledge of good and evil, a knowledge gained from matter, or evil, instead of from Spirit. The portrayal is still graphically accurate, for the common conception of mortal man — a burlesque of God's man — is an outgrowth of human knowledge or sensuality, a mere offshoot of material sense.
