Yes, but we do have awareness, and knowledge. Knowledge to know that men are not gods, and so what they say is not always absolute. And the knowledge to discern what does or doesn’t fulfill the conditions of a word.
No, you ain’t suiciding. You’re the only guy smart enough to make the mind reading machine, DnA machine, and Time machine. You could probably also make me a hot cyborg wife. Can’t afford to lose you.
Trixie, you really need to stop opening threads about me, you know.
The original Hebrew term satan is a noun from a verb meaning primarily “to obstruct, oppose”, as it is found in Numbers 22:22, 1 Samuel 29:4, Psalms 109:6.[6] Ha-Satan is traditionally translated as “the accuser” or “the adversary”. The definite article ha- (English: “the”) is used to show that this is a title bestowed on a being, versus the name of a being. Thus, this being would be referred to as “the satan”.[7]
Thought of in terms of someone who does obstruct, oppose and/or accuse, one can almost see the positive in having “the satan” around.
How do we come to question whether our thoughts or actions are right or beneficial at times except through the obstruction, accusation and opposition of others ~~ or that of our own inner voices if we choose to pay attention?
Radicals and revolutionaries can be seen as “the satans”. < Visionaries can be seen as the satans by others.
Isn’t this in a sense what we also do in ilp from the positive viewpoint I mean? How do we come to truth and the reality of our life except through someone who challenges our way of thinking and behavior?
Perhaps “the satan” appears to be the devil because we don’t recognize our own devils (daemons) within.
So, like death, the satan can be a beneficial adversary - not only the devil’s advocate but also our very own advocate, if we’re capable of putting what would appear to be a negative into a positive.
Too far fetched? Some may think so but this is only my subjective thinking and perhaps not so far from holding validity.
Be my Christ, save me. But if you want to be my devil, please bring the latex, whips and chains and make my bottom sore. Teach me, the devil is a teacher that is her purpose.
The Devil is slippery, near impossible to catch in play. This world is the Devil’s oyster and all the Earthly pearls of wisdom are it’s to dangle to your chagrin. Most people are used without their knowledge and it’s impossible to keep step with such a being no matter your intelligence, so don’t play with fire unless you can breathe it.
You can’t kill the devil only defeat her. And I know who his current host residence is. Because if you kill their avatar they just move to another one.
My name is Trixie for a reason. I can outtrix even the Devil himself, I am like Loki. The Devil has several weaknesses, including his own extreme ego and narcissism. He also has a psychotic lust for Neolithic Men, because their primitive appearance makes him feel more flooded, violated and depraved like Chaos, and also contrast Superior and more Beauteous. And Devil needs constant attention.
