Ok. I had BEAR dreams 24 years ago and the bear tried to kill me. I had a death sentence attached to that: found out 2 mos later I was dying of CML - a rare chronic blood cancer. I met a healer , Barbara Stone, who took me on as a patient. Her own books told her story with Snakes. At that time, I’d had Enough of snakes in Central America. Vipers, coral & rattlers, pythons, to give her story a wide skepticism. However , I recently discovered Gnostic history which de- stigmatizes the “ snake” as the evil one. Also , unbelievably, for 2 years I’ve been “ stepping on SNAKES “ hiking. Up until LAST week I had 2 encounters with eastern black snakes but why am I Stepping on them ? What is this???
