Thankyou for your warm response.
My paradigm is simple: All of nature shares 95% of the same DNA.
Darwinism does not account for all of evolution, because evolution makes
funny leaps that cannot be accounted for, by Natural Selection. Creationism
does not work either. Where the two come together, is in the idea that the
Kundalini Fire Serpent is DNA, and that all DNA on the planet is in unity,
a collective consciousness.
Hmm.. I'll give you the essay on the topic from "Fire-Serpent Tantra"
course.

Quote:
"I started flipping through his other writings in my possession and
discovered: cosmic serpents. This time it was Australian Aborigines who
considered that the creation of life was the work of a "cosmic personage
related to universal fecundity, the Rainbow Snake," whose powers were
symbolized by quartz crystals. It so happens that the Desana of the
Colombian Amazon also associate the cosmic anaconda, creator of life, with
a quartz crystal. How could it be that Australian Aborigines, separated
from the rest of humanity for 40,000 years, tell the same story about the
creation of life by a cosmic serpent associated with a quartz crystal as is
told by ayahuasca drinking Amazonians? The connections that I was beginning
to perceive were blowing away the scope of my investigation. How could
cosmic serpents from Australia possibly help my analysis of the uses of
hallucinogens in Western Amazonia? Despite this doubt, I could not stop
myself and charged ahead. I seized the four volumes of Joseph Campbell's
comparative work on world mythology. A German friend had given them to me
at the beginning of my investigation, after I had told him about the book
that I wanted to write. Initially, I had simply gone over the volume called
Primitive mythology. I didn't much like the title, and the book neglected
the Amazon Basin, not to mention hallucinogens. At the time, I had placed
Campbell's masterpiece at the back of one of my bookshelves and had not
consulted it further. I began paging through Occidental mythology looking
for snakes. To my surprise I found one in the title of the first chapter.
from a Mesopotamian seal of c. 2200 B.C. and shows "the deity in human
form, enthroned, with his caduceus emblem behind and a fire altar before."
The symbol of this Serpent Lord was none other than a double helix. The
similarity with the representation of DNA was unmistakable! I feverishly
paged through Campbell's books and found twisted serpents in most images
representing sacred scenes. Campbell writes about this omnipresent snake
symbolism: "Throughout the material in the Primitive, Oriental and
Occidental volumes of this work, myths and rites of the serpent frequently
appear, and in a remarkably consistent symbolic sense. Wherever nature is
revered as self-moving, and so inherently divine, the serpent is revered as
symbolic of its divine life." In Campbell's work I discovered a stunning
number of creator gods represented in the form of a cosmic serpent, not
only in Amazonia, Mexico, and Australia, but in Sumer, Egypt, Persia,
India, the Pacific, Crete, Greece, and Scandinavia. To check these facts, I
consulted my French-language Dictionary of symbols under "serpent." I read:
"It makes light of the sexes, and of the opposition of contraries; it is
female and male too, a twin to itself, like so many of the important
creator gods who are always, in their first representation, cosmic
serpents. . . . Thus, the visible snake appears as merely the brief
incarnation of a Great Invisible Serpent, which is causal and timeless, a
master of the vital principle and of all the forces of nature. It is a
primary old god found at the beginning of all cosmogonies, before
monotheism and reason toppled it" (original italics). Campbell dwells on
two crucial turning points for the cosmic serpent in world mythology. The
first occurs "in the context of the patriarchy of the Iron Age Hebrews of
the first millennium B.C., [where] the mythology adopted from the earlier
neolithic and Bronze Age civilizations . . . became inverted, to render an
argument just the opposite to that of its origin." In the Judeo-Christian
creation story told in the first book of the Bible, one finds elements
which are common to so many of the world's creation myths: the serpent, the
tree, and the twin beings; but for the first time, the serpent, "who had
been revered in the Levant for at least seven thousand years before the
composition of the Book of Genesis," plays the part of the villain. Yahweh,
who replaces it in the role of the creator, ends up defeating "the serpent
of the cosmic sea, Leviathan." For Campbell, the second turning point
occurs in Greek mythology, where Zeus was initially represented as a
serpent; but around 500 B.C., the myths are changed, and Zeus becomes a
serpent-killer. He secures the reign of the patriarchal gods of Mount
Olympus by defeating Typhon, the enormous serpent-monster who is the child
of the earth goddess Gaia and the incarnation of the forces of nature.
Typhon "was so large that his head often knocked against the stars and his
arms could extend from sunrise to sunset." In order to defeat Typhon, Zeus
can count only on the help of Athene, "Reason," because all the other
Olympians have fled in terror to Egypt."

Transcript of the video lesson:
The shaman of South America who do the ritual of the vine, say that at the
beginning of life on Earth, there were these serpent creatures that were
fleeing an enemy. And they came down onto the Earth, and they made all of
the forms of life on Earth to have a place to hide themselves, and that was
the beginning of creation.
These serpent creatures are your own DNA strands. Packed very tightly into
every cell of your body is your DNA, and it is the blueprint that makes
YOU. And scientists think that there's a lot of junk DNA along the chain
that doesn't have any purpose. We talked earlier about how some DNA is
silent. Some DNA in males is silent, and how Kundalini can reawaken that
DNA again.
What scientists think is your dormant DNA is actually a multiple
redundancy system. Encoded into that system is all of your vast potential
for miracles. Now how does DNA connect with Kundalini?
Well, in some ways, you can think of the Fire Serpent as the spirit of
DNA. Now, between the DNA of me, and the DNA of a plant, and the DNA of an
oyster, there's not a hell of a lot of difference. And it is through our
DNA, through that piezio-electrical, vibrational exchange going on inside
of us, there's an aspect of how we become unified with all life on this
planet. We talked about the Kundalini serpents.
Somewhere on this page you'll see an illustration of the caduceus.
Probably, you've seen it on the back of ambulances. It's the symbol of a
staff with the serpents coiled around it three and a half times. Then it
has the wings, and the ball of light on the top. The caduceus is a symbol
of fully-awakened Kundalini. The serpents are coiled three and a half times
in the root chakra. And as your Kundalini evolves, they unfold themselves
three and a half times, crossing over your chakras, until you end up with
serpents as a rotating field at either side of your head, and the light of
the crown chakra above, and the wings. Angels don't have wings, but people
do. As your kundalini unfolds more fully, you may get the strangest
sensation that your body has grown wings, and in fact, potentially, it
always had them. People who turn into angels have wings.
So you can think of Kundalini as the intelligence of DNA. It's much
more than that, but for our purposes, that is one way to visualize it. A as
the serpents expand up through you, and you grow your wings, this is also
an aspect of your DNA's secret parts unfolding. Now your DNA is a very
complex mechanism. If you your DNA from out of your cells, and unfolded it,
unpacked it from its tightly coiled state as a double helix, exactly like
the two serpents, it would stretch all the way to the sun and back again.
Now, if you could think of something like that, a magnetic tape that
stretches all the way to the sun and back again, and how much information
you could put on that tape, then you're getting some limited idea of
exactly how much information is available through your own DNA. And some of
that information is gonna unfold as the serpents unfold. Your gonna start
getting information from your body that may not necessarily be in words,
but it will be information. Some people who go through Kundalini actually
experience memories of their grandparents, particularly on the female side.
Women may get memories of being their great great-grandmother. I've had
memories of being my grandfather, when he was an officer.
All of this information, the double helix, that makes you the form that
you are, and to a certain extent dictates the personality that you are.
That is the Fire Serpent. That is the wisdom. The double helix we're
unfolding here is a hologram that is reflected in every single cell of your
body. That's the power of Kundalini inside of you, awake, and dancing.
