Describing the caduceus is like describing the mechanism of love in the Ophidians, as Rémy de Gourmont(1858-1915) said. The Ophidians are snakes, who really knows their love? The caduceus is a snake sign. Like ideas, a sign ages badly. Then it dies. And time passes. And nobody knows what it meant.
Suddenly there are once obvious signs that are no longer so at all and undergo a dressing that is like a carnival disguise. The salutary exercise of doubt is the best way to put reality on a more solid foundation than the quicksand where we found it. So what can this thing mean?
The caduceus? Damn, but it is eye-popping! Ah yes ? Not to everyone, then. We read bullshit on the subject, and even in encyclopedias. Here: link between heaven and earth, protection against snakes, magic stick, and so on and the worst. None of this holds up. The error is already old. Generations of intelligos have taken an image for a symbol.
A symbol suggests, while an image directly shows what it is. But for the nerds I’m talking about, which is what it is, not a single one had a clue. So they started to rack their brains. And all delusions were allowed. The image telling them nothing, they make it a symbol.
The symbol is what remains when you have forgotten everything. The sign -image, word- represents reality. From sign to symbol, we measure the loss.
At the same time, they took their bladder for a lantern, the fools. It is not just a question of vocabulary, it is on the object itself that there is concern. The caduceus symbolizes that slab, it represents.
-Ah really ? And what does it represent, Mr. Know-it-all?
-The energy diagram, quite simply. This is what the caduceus represents. I would even say more, the caduceus is the image of the energetic scheme when boosted by a surge of energy such that the individual feels wings and merges with his creator. The caduceus is showing the rise of kundalini during the awakening phase.
The vertical wand of the caduceus represents the central channel of kundalini energy, called sushumna by the Hindus.
The two snakes represent very exactly the two lateral channels ida and pingala in their interlacing from chakra to chakra. It is true that this knowledge is almost entirely lost in this sad end of kali yuga.
Fortunately, time travelers appear from the void to refresh failing memories. They are here but they come from elsewhere and often return.
With my motto borrowed from Quebec, Je me souviens, I kick the human family tree hard to bring down the golden apples.
All apples, I do not go into detail. Adam’s apple, the love apple, the golden apple from the garden of the Hesperides, lost and found apples all ready to play reminders. Besides, I fall not only apples. I fall the dust of the centuries. I am the collector of the accumulated filth and lies. I strip, I sand, I plan, I refresh. And it becomes visible to the greatest number, as it was once.
Here is Clio, muse of History, with my razor sharp cut around the ears. New look for Clio who finally decides to speak the truth. Yes, that scares you. As fresh as a song by Hugues Aufray. God knows he offered full boxed true songs! What would we do with it? Freight?
The caduceus therefore represents an energetic diagram with its right central channel like an i, passage of the kundalini which rises directly to awakening. On each side there are the lateral channels to irrigate the whole body and if necessary serve as a bypass when the central channel is blocked.
It is vital that the subtle energy can make its way to the fontanel. In the absence of this minimum connection, we can die. In all cases, we are subject to repeated illnesses. Fragile health, failing balance, we drag ourselves miserably …
Several sources of imbalance can manifest on an energy pattern. First, the blockages that can occur on the central sushumna channel. These are faulty chakras, completely or partially blocked, which no longer diffuse the energy in its ascent towards the fontanel. To bypass these blockages, the energy passes through the side channels ida and pingala, which allow the energy to cross the obstacle.
The lateral sinuosities, ida and pingala, must also be clean and clear, since they also serve to irrigate a larger body width. The seven chakras turn their mill, the fontanel communicates with the aura, then can awaken secondary chakras and tertiary chakras.
A wise old man who practices my way calls these slags butterflies. He carefully removes them to release the energy pattern. I do the same, taking care to burn them over the flame of a candle. When I operate Erquy reiki, I light a candle and an incense stick.
Their purifying function is well known, but less use is made of the indications given by smoke or flame. Too bad … These indications are very valuable and very reliable, as I show to those of you who come to see me for a reiki.
In the esoteric Jewish tradition, we find the tree of the sephiroth which also designates the energy diagram, but in the convoluted way of the rabbis. Less clear than the caduceus …
Sephiroth or sfirot is a Hebrew word meaning to count, number, statistics. In this case, it designates here certain primary chakras, a few secondary and even a sketch of the tertiary chakras.
I won’t risk any further, that tree is beyond my subject. I confine myself to what I practice every day, the cleaning and energetic stimulation of the caduceus, which is the subtle energetic pattern of a human being on the threshold of awakening.
If you are in this case, if you feel ready to cross the great waters as the I Ching says, if you know that you need this cleaning, I will be glad to receive you at my home in Erquy — respecting the sanitary legislation and the most sacred traditions. You come as you are, you leave modified. There is every chance that your direction has turned.

The cathedrals were built with a measure-stick: no other calculation!
There are not four elements, but five. The first is called ether. But we forgot…
Yes, totally lost. But don’t worry about it, the replacement is on.
The I Ching or Yiking was incomplete. I completed the hexagram Chen.
