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.

The Ego is The Devil, Is Death

“The wages of sin is death”

“There is an instant in which terror seems to grip your mind so wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. When you realize, once and for all, that it is you you fear, the mind perceives itself as split. And this had been concealed while you believed attack could be directed outward, and returned from outside to within. It seemed to be an enemy outside you had to fear. And thus a god outside yourself became your mortal enemy; the source of fear. Now, for an instant, is a murderer perceived within you, eager for your death, intent on plotting punishment for you until the time when it can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the time as well in which salvation comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And you can call on Him to save you from illusions by His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon,—today.” (W-pI.196.10:1-11:5)

Coming face-to-face with your own terrible ego. Being completely naked Realizing that my ego is the source of all of my pain, suffering, fear…. Realizing *“that it is you you fear.”

The Ego is a Fearful Thought

“The death penalty is the ego’s ultimate goal....Wanting to kill you as the final expression of its feeling for you, it lets you live but to await death. It will torment you while you live, but its hatred is not satisfied until you die. For your destruction is the one end toward which it works, and the only end with which it will be satisfied.” (T-12.VII.13:2, 4-6)

“The ego teaches thus: Death is the end as far as hope of Heaven goes. Yet because you and the ego cannot be sepa- rated, and because it cannot conceive of its own death, it will pursue you still [in hell], because guilt is eternal.”
