Mary Baker Eddy also has a few strong words to say about the idea of Serpent that defines in Appendix A6 the element for the political position of Oligarchy (not the oligarchy itself, but the underlying idea of oligarchism).  The following is the Glossary definition of, Serpent:

"Subtlety; a lie; the opposite of Truth, named error; the first statement of mythology and idolatry; the belief in more than one God; animal magnetism; the first lie of limitation; finity; the first claim that there is an opposite of Spirit, or good, termed matter, or evil; the first delusion that error exists as fact; the first claim that sin, sickness, and death are the realities of life.  The first audible claim that God was not omnipotent and that there was another power, named evil, which was as real and eternal as God, good."

The political concept of Oligarchy is one of stark mental poverty (a type of conservatism that allows no development).  Dope; slavery; animal focused earth-cult primitivism, and human devolution are its face - which are still the chief planks of the oligarchy operating today, that sets itself up as an elitist pseudo-god.  Nor has its claim - that drives the longest running horror show in history - been effectively countered.  Mankind still bows to its lies and suffers from them, with an expressed willingness to suffer death.  It must be countered!

Mary Baker Eddy counters this mental perversion of Oligarchy in two ways, as related to the matrix.  One is through the applicable painting and verse from Christ and Christmas.  The second half of the painting Christian Unity applies to this element.  Here, the focus on reality is from the standpoint of the 'woman' from the Apocalypse representing man.  She stands facing Christ Jesus, a scroll in hand, titled "Christian Science."  the verse reads:

As in blest Palestina's hour,
   So in our age,
'T is the same hand unfolds His power,
   And writes the page.

There is no validity in a lie, is there?  It must be countered with absolute facts.  It is interesting to note that the sequentially applicable textbook chapter for this element is, Teaching Christian Science.

In a sense, the two political elements Conservatism and Oligarchy may be recognized as corner-stones in building the two downward oriented environments shown in Appendix A14.  These environments can be recognized as synonymous with the downward oriented account of creation in Genesis 2 (the Adam and Eve story), which likewise presents two environments.  The first environment that this story presents is built on the corner-stone of Conservatism.  Everything is based on the dust of the ground, out of which life and intelligence is deemed to be formed.  The second environment is build on the corner-stone of Oligarchy.  Everything becomes now centered around a lie projected by the serpent, elitist so-called intelligence.  The lie amplifies the conservatism, to the point that man's perception of himself has sunk so low that it inspires shame for the 'nakedness' recognized.  Then the coverup process begins, the hiding behind the proverbial fig-leave, excusing one's guilt by pointing the finger at the serpent.  And so the story goes until man is cast out and forced to scrape from the ground a meager living.  And the serpent, as every one knows, is condemned to crawl on its belly.

The author of that story was far better aware of political processes than 99.99% of humanity is today.  The oligarchy still crawls on its belly, for this is all it can do.  It can't stand upright.  It is spineless.  The second World War comes to mind.  When the German dictator, Adolf Hitler, whom the oligarchy financed into power, turned the heat up, the 'snake' came crawling on its belly, suggesting that someone bail it out of its mess.  After mankind had lost fifty million people in the process of undoing the damage, the snake turned around and forced the atom-bomb/U.N. structure and other creations on mankind so that the world would never recover from its sacrifices in the snake-created wars.  And this is literally what has happened.  The details are presented later.
