Its esoteric, true interpretation s a veritable Theodice of the “ Fallen Angels,” so called ; the ''willing ''and the ''unwilling'', the ''creators ''and those who ''refused to create'', being now mixed up most perplexingly by Christian Catholics, who forget that their highest Archangel, St. Michael, who is shown to conquer (to master and to assimilate) the {{Style S-Small capitals|Dragon of Wisdom}} and of divine Self-sacrifice (now miscalled and calumniated as Satan), {{Style S-Small capitals|was the first to refuse to create}} ! This led to endless confusion. So little does Christian theology understand the paradoxical language of the East and its symbolism, that it even explains, in its ''dead letter sense'', the Chinese Buddhist and Hindu exoteric rite of raising a noise during certain eclipses to scare away the “ great red Dragon,” which laid a plot to carry away the light ! But here “ Light ” means esoteric Wisdom, and we have sufficiently explained the secret meaning of the terms ''Dragon'', ''Serpent'', etc., etc., all of which refer to Adepts and Initiates.
