Developing a social memory complex

Alchemy for example I heard had the exoteric (to the public) meaning of transmuting base metals into gold. This was to avoid being prosecuted. The esoteric meaning of alchemy is a spiritual transformation. The eight-pointed star in this picture represents planet Venus.

"All symbols in this alchemical illustration refer to the kundalini energy: the serpent, the woman on the moon (Sophia) and the eight-pointed star. From: Clavis Artis, late 17th / early 18th century.

The eight-pointed star is a symbol of the Sumerian goddess Inanna and her Akkadian counterpart Ishtar. These goddesses were also associated with the planet Venus, which is called the Morning Star because Venus, after the sun and moon, is the brightest of all celestial bodies and is visible in the east shortly before sunrise. Venus, as it were, heralds the sun and was therefore associated with the divine since ancient times. In line with this, the eight-pointed star represents in esoteric traditions the dormant divine energy in the pelvis of man; called the kundalini-shakti by the yogi." - The Knights Templar and the Holy Grail, by Anne-Marie Wegh

The woman is standing on the moon, which seems to be precisely what Gigi Young talked about of overcoming the moon (the moon lock). And the dragon in the picture almost forms an ouroboros (serpent/dragon eating its own tail). That seems similar to me how the dragon stream overcomes the beast stream. And the ouroboros then represents the moon lock that keeps the kundalini energy trapped and when unlocked (as in the picture) it makes the kundalini energy rise.
