They are called keys of unknowing since they unlock the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The tree of knowledge represents duality divorced from oneness. This is the veil of kundalini trapped in duality that causes all sins.
Well, you may be onto something Anders. May I ask you to possibly consider another view regarding the golden key and the silver key and that tree of knowledge? Not trying to change your mind though, ok? Just another view is all.
The golden key could be considered the conscious mind, consciousness.
The silver key could be considered the subconscious mind (but not exactly unconsciousness)
The tree of knowledge of good and evil sort of speculates that if one were to partake of it could know something regarding creation but much deeper than that actually. I just am giving you something to consider and feel you can research Theosophical and Hermetical knowledge concerning these ideas. Many religions have adopted the same symbols that are universal. This doesn't mean that if the Vatican were sporting these symbols that the symbols are corrupt, right? Perhaps the Vatican is as it holds a little too much power and wealth. But anyway, I leave you with that. Good luck with all this research you are doing! It seems to pile up fast sometimes! Anyway, I give you this and thanks for all the posts.
