APEP, THE SERPENT
A symbol of the desire-mental nature.
“The undulating length of the serpent Apep, of whom it is said, 'his
voice goeth round the Tuat.'" - BUDGE, Egypt. Heaven and Hell, Vol.
II. p. 268.
In the relativity of the lower mind it may be said that the
expression, or utterance, of the desire impulse allied with mind in
the lower nature of the human soul, extends through the whole cycle
of manifested life (the Tuat).
The desire-mind (Apep) is the adversary against which all the higher
qualities (gods) contend. It is for ever being cut to pieces, but
comes to life again all the same in other states and conditions of
the soul's development.
