What does Satan represent?

Post Reply New Topic

satan is imo a group consciousness that arises from the state of detachment from the creative spirit. Humanity is pretty muchriddled with it to a greater or lesser extent - its not just this or that religion, activity or behaviour - it permeates through pretty much everything. The opposite state of being in touch with the creative spirit cant be described, especially not by me bit is along the lines of realising that everyone & everything is one consciousness etc. Satans agenda is in a way trying to 'hijack' creation, but only because it cant comprehend what that really means, if all its component parts did suddenly have that transcendental experience all at the same time then it would stop (imagine an angry/scared/lustful/etc person suddenly laughing & immediately calming down) So we have two oneness campaigns being played out.

The best metaphor ive heard for satan is jonathons 'cancer consciouness' You can visualise cancer as being satanic energy being played out on a cellular level, the traumatised cells have forgotten that they were a part of something greater (in this case the person/animal) so they become detached, insecure, terrified of dying - and seek self-preservation by growing larger, co-opting the neighbouring cells until it can eventually make a scaler jump to the organ (the nature of this detached state is that it doesnt realise that its eventually going to kill its own host)

This is in some ways the secrets to satans 'success' ; when your dealing with a diseased state you really need to fully understand the opposite healthy state first. eg. a doctor doesnt learn how to heal on their first day, they spend a long time familiarising themselves with normal homeostaic functions of the body beforehand, trying to get a feel for what it should look like. In modern society any innate understanding of creation, all the capacity for intuition you would develop naturally gets attacked pretty much as soon as your born.

im not going to say too much about it because im tired & ill just be repeating what jonathon/adampants2007 said a few years ago.

google 'the healing begins now' by adampants2007/2008 - ive listened to all his series several times - this guy is the real deal

in all honesty, i'm glad most humans believe in satan 'devil'. i have worked around people who seemed to be saying their fear of going to 'hell' kept them from being criminals and such. questioning them about such beliefs was beyond my ability for various reasons.......main one being my complete lack of comprehending human action/speech (meaning).

i do think they were serious. scary, true.......but none the less honest in their speech.

does religion use this 'fear' as a way to keep the faithful in line? once again i am clueless. how is this possible? early age brainwashing?

From my point of view, Satan is the best friend mankind has ever had. In an allegorical sense, that celestial dictator known as Yahweh wanted our species to remain ignorant beasts within the garden of eden for all eternity. Satan, however saw through this, and gave humankind an offer to pursue greatness equal to that of Yahweh. Faced with a threat to his power, god dealt with Adam and Eve in the same way that he had dealt with lucifer. Then like an abusive boyfriend, yahweh offered several chances to get back in his good graces. All he asked in return was a series of death to self ideologies that had to be followed to the letter. Many follow these with out question, while a small number have, like lucifer, seen through these subsequent deceptions. But anyways, thats just my point of view.

In Christian mythology, Satan traditionally symbolizes arrogance ("the pride before the fall"), vanity, rebelliousness, greed, power lust, envy, cruelty, deceit and empty promises, and other vices. In Paradise Lost, the emphasized vices are vanity, arrogance, and rebelliousness; Lucifer, most beautiful of the angels, is dissatisfied with being second best in God's cosmic order, so he rebels, eventually being relegated to Hell where he can reign in an infernal kingdom that is a warped and disfiguring mirror of Heaven. The Jewish and Christian traditions both portray Satan as a tempter of humans away from God and towards sin. In Faust, we see Satan as tempter, exchanging mortal gain for eternal damnation, and then of course there's the story of the forbidden fruit from the book of Genesis. Christianity really brought about (into the Abrahamic tradition) the Manichean split of an all-good God and an all-evil Satan locked in cosmic duel, but this is of course Mazdaism at core; this allegory is quite literally productive with The Lord of the Rings being just one nod to Paradise Lost. Nietzsche would have us look Beyond Good and Evl to see humanity's shadow in the evil traits ascribed to Satan, even exhorting their inculcation, their integration as a "master morality" into a personality suitable for a "will to power."

Jewish and Christian gnosticism treated the material world as inherently foul and corrupt and considered Yahweh, as the creator thereof, to be evil. This asceticism found itself in the Christian monastic tradition which in turn informs the world rejection of Fundamentalist Christianity.

Various shamanistic and animistic religions perceive demons or spirits of often ambiguous moral stances towards humans (e.g., Arabian djinn).
