Satan is the “adversary”
Satan is this inversion, the demiurgic ego who is a false God tyrant.
Satan is NOT outside of you. Satan is all that is within you that opposes God, that seeks egoic “specialness” rather than surrender to God/Truth/Reality/Love….
Satan is Prince and god of this World because this is what the world believes in and worships and follows…. - the ego. This world IS separation. It is made of and from and for separation from God.
2 Corinthians 4:4, Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
which states: “whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”
In this context, the phrase “god of this age” refers to Satan, who is described as the one who has blinded the minds of unbelievers, preventing them from believing in the gospel of Christ. This phrase is often interpreted as indicating that Satan has a significant influence over the world and its systems, and that he is the one who is behind the spiritual darkness and deception that pervades the world.
Luke 4:5-6, where Satan is described as showing Jesus “all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time” and offering them to Him
John 12:31 and 16:11, where Jesus refers to Satan as the “prince of this world”. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.
