There was a debate on the television today and they discussed whether or not the devil exists. In my own quest for answers to 'who we are,' I have considered this very subject and the labels we put on things we do not understand. Labels; GOD and THE DEVIL,represented by good and bad, and the battle that has raged between them. God, the ultimate male figure; loving and so good. The loving figure that we should all aspire to copy in our actions on this planet and our associations with others. However, we should all be aware of his opposite number who will corrupt us and lead us to 'hell.' We are told to fear the Devil and fear God if we do wrong.
My problem since being a child and going to Sunday School was; if God is so good, pure and loving, then why does he have human failings, and why should God be male? How can someone so good punish us severely if we do wrong whilst being the ultimate good that we should aspire to? Why does the Devil seek our souls and make us do bad things. Have the Catholic priests who molested children for many years done so because they were tempted by the Devil.
We are all looking for answers and my answer is quite simple. I have some of my views on this blog site.
Religion has ruled us by fear and in the past, violence. They are no different to those who murder and incite to kill in the name of God. We have had 2000 years since religion forced its way into our thinking by destroying those who resisted. It is time for another way where we realise who we are and our duality of thinking. It can be good or bad and our thinking brings us to action and I repeat; this action can be good or bad for ourselves and others.
It is important to know, who we are, and there are other posts on my blog explaining this. We have three parts to us as human beings and they are; MIND, BODY and SPIRIT.
The mind is and aspect of spirit but is separated for the time we are human, the energy of mind is energy of our spirit but the separation is a vibrational one because our bodies vibrate at a lower rate than our spiritual souls and our mind has to connect with this lower vibration of physical matter and rarely raises to a level of our perfect souls. Perfect soul is just another name for the collective energy that fills the universe; we call this, GOD. In other words; we are all aspects of that perfection we call GOD. Our bodies are from the ground and will return to the ground and are just vehicles for the expression of our minds whilst we live inside them. Bodies are 99.9% empty space and that space is filled with our consciousness.
In our duality of thinking we choose what we do in this world, or we are affected by the choosing of others. God and The Devil have no authority over our thinking, we have the power of creation within us, we are a higher thought form than all other life on this planet because other life forms have habits and reactions built into them, they have no creative, or very limited choices. We create from our thoughts; everything we have made on this planet began with a thought. This is creation, no other life form has the creative gifts we have and we use them in destroying each other and by our actions, destroy the planet we need to live on. On the other hand, we can be so loving, so compassionate and so respectful. Everyone lives on differing levels, this is why we cannot agree, we fight, and do little whilst our planet hurts through our actions, whilst some try to change it, with little effect.
Good and bad are just labels, cause and effect can never be divorced from what we do. It is time we learned that there is no difference between us and God; we are just at different levels whilst we are within physical matter. Energy cannot die, our thought processes do not end when our body finally gives up, we just move into and invisible energy forever a part of that we call God. God has no substance, the Devil is not a monster with horns, we give both life in the thinking behind what we do. It is time we all recognised ourselves for who we are and stopped blaming labels for our actions.
Whilst we are engaged collectively on negativity, we will all suffer. When we learn who we are, and the divinity we have within us all, we will finally learn how magnificent life can be. This mass belief when and if established, will change our world forever. The Devil does not exist in reality, it is just a religious cover and label for the badness we choose to do; the Devil; a metaphor for the twisted thinking of our creative minds that can turn the loving energy of our true natures into evil and negativity. I am right and you are wrong thinking keeps us at war; this is not the Devil, it is us at lower consciousness level.
