Ouroboros is an anient alchemy symbol depicting a snake or dragon (DNA) swallowing its own tail, constantly creating itself and forming a circle. It is the Wheel of Time - the Alchemy Wheel - 12 around 1 to manifest grid programs that give the illusion of linear time allowing souls to experience emotions.

Your interpretation, 777, the positive follows the negative and vice versa. Thus, if woman is seen as the giver of life, she also has to be seen as the giver of death, as one follows the other.

In some representations the serpent is shown as half light and half dark, echoing symbols such as Yin Yang, which illustrates the dual nature of all things, but most importantly, THAT THESE OPPOSITES ARE NOT IN CONFLLICT.

Here is a great link to a GRAND discussion on hyperlanguage:

I love a feedback once you have read it!
I like Crystalinks a lot great info.
You're right all knowledge has several levels of interpretation.It is said that there are 7 levels to the allegories and symbols.

For example the above symbol of the Ouroboros also symbolizes the serpent energy symbolically cursed to crawl upon its belly and bite at the heels of our base nature ,but once we channel the energy upward the same snake becomes the firey winged serpent of the cadueces. The wings also represent the blowing open of the crown chakra which in turn activates the wing like design within the brain dipicted in the image below.



Another absolutely wonderful illustration of kundalini is the opening of the pineal gland at the symbolic crucifixion. You have the two thieves which are symbolic of the human eyes. The sacred number 22,symbolic of the master number and 22 major arcana or TNT, also 20 20 vision. the four fold nature in man of earth water air and fire 11 11. You also have the christos bound hands and feet with in man by self imposed limitations.Also jesus is elevated slightly showing the position of the pineal gland where the id entity dies between the two thieves.The list goes on, i love the symbolism.
