Does the Devil Really Exist?

Personally, I do not believe in the Devil or Satan, well, not as some individual entity with superpowers. The Devil is not real until and unless you deem the Devil to be real. I let belief in the Devil go many years ago and my life has totally prospered.

Absent a concept of a creature called the Devil, I became linear in my focus on God, which magnified God in my life.

The 50% of time and energy I devoted to worrying about the Devil was given to the already 50% devoted to God and so the Devil got 0% of my time and God got 100% and therefore, my life became godly (I say this subjectively). All of my worries began to disappear. Focus on God brought nothing but positive energy my way and I began to prosper in life. Removal of fear led to constant peace, beauty, serenity, tranquility, and everything else of good.

A lot of time for many people, they can't see God for seeing the Devil. Many actually will go to God, a false concept of God, out of fear of the Devil which is the wrong motive for seeking God. You shouldn't have to have a fear of an imaginary creature (the Devil) in order to seek God out.

The Devil really only exists in the mind, the mind of man. The Devil is the concept and construct of man. That's who made the Devil. The mind of man made the Devil (idea and image) just as the mind of man made God (idea and image of).

Man's mind is always at work. In the Western world there is great difficulty in quieting the mind. Many folks in the West find it difficult to meditate. They are addicted to noise and that noise is created from all the daily drama in their lives and they grow used to it.

The Devil serves a purpose though! And that purpose is CONTROL! Control of the flock (people) via the use of fear! This is far more evident in religious institutions than any place else in existence.

Belief in the Devil is one-half of all Western religions, with God being the other half. The Devil figures prominently in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

In fact, I don't think these three religions could exist without the Devil. The Devil keeps religion in business. How else would there be souls to save if it wasn't for some imaginary Devil corrupting the souls of men and women?

It is so common to hear, especially from Christians, that "The Devil made me do it!" As bluesman Johnny Guitar Watson would say: 'Ain't that a bitch!'

The Devil making someone do something has become a major excuse, especially in religion, Christianity in particular.

Listen, nobody can make you do anything you don't want to do. There is free will on planet Earth, and therefore, CHOICE! You always have a choice!

When people sin, their minds were already made up to sin. How is a man going to have an affair with a woman and after the affair blame it on the Devil?

Did the Devil control the man's lust? Did the Devil make the man's dick get hard? Did the Devil make the man take off his clothes and underwear so as to do 'the do'? Hell no! No pun intended!

The man knew exactly what he was doing because he knew exactly what he wanted to do.

"The Devil made me do it" is a lame excuse that removes from us personal responsibility and accountability. But that's okay because it helps out religion. Religion is in the business of salvation (for a price, of course). Religion can save your soul from your own conscious and unconscious actions, obliterating Karma. Though that's not really true (obliteration of karma), but hey, people believe it. You see, people want to sin and then be forgiven of their sins. But this doesn't work because sinning is associated with a habit, especially if the habit feels good, like sex, masturbation, etc.

Now of course I'm not personally saying sex or even masturbation is a sin. Don't get me wrong! I was just making a point.

In addition to not believing in the Devil, I also don't believe in sinning. How can man sin when he/she was given free will (choice)? Man can do what he pleases as long as he/she is (1) willing to suffer the consequences of his/her actions, and (2) do not violate the free will of another person. And it helps to have consent when another person is involved in the activity.

Because I don't believe in sin, I don't believe that man was conceived in sin. I believe man was conceived according to the laws of Nature. How can the natural sex act be a sin? Why did God create or make a penis and vagina and male hormones and female hormones? Why were we created as men with sperm and women with eggs? For what purpose?

You see: you'd come out better believing in biology rather than man-made religion!

There is no benefit in believing in sin, the Devil, etc. It's all fear-based and fear is an illusion, and therefore, sin and the Devil are also illusions.

There is no sin or sinning, no good or bad, right or wrong, just actions! It was man who determined what was right and what was wrong. Right and wrong belong to the world of the conscience. It was man who gave you your conscience. You were given a conscience to replace what you were born with - consciousness (awareness).

You see, in your awareness (of all things), you'd know what to do and what not to do - to self and to others, because you'd be aware, conscious! You'd know not to harm another person because to harm another is to harm yourself for we are all one. You would already know this via your consciousness.

But the world (Matrix) could not exist and operate if everyone was conscious (aware). The Matrix needs you to be unaware in order to control you and use your power for its own benefit. This is why the Matrix has given you religion: church, synagogue, and mosque; this is why the Matrix has given you public education; this is why the Matrix has given you government; this is why the Matrix has given you television.

Do you know why people so-called 'sin' and break the laws so much? They do it because there are too many rules, laws, regulations, and ordinances enacted. They force man to rebel for it is man's nature to be free.

When you create a taboo, you have just created an interest, especially in those who are bold. The more people are told to not do a thing, the more they want to do the forbidden thing. The more they can't do the forbidden thing, the more focus they will give to the forbidden thing and like saying goes: where thought goes, energy flows.

The above explains why today, everything goes! Literally!

The moral laws in penal codes created the energy for these laws to be broken by the people, and trust me, government knows this! Think about it - laws are made to be broken, for if not one single law were ever broken by a single person, how would courts and governments make money? Think about all that money government makes via people breaking the laws: disobeying court orders, violating traffic laws, causing injury or harm to person and/or property, not taking care of their children financially, not filing their tax returns and paying their taxes. Just think about it! Government can't afford for people to not break laws. Righteous living would be disastrous for the Matrix! It really would.

Christians get mad at me for saying that Jesus cannot come back! He can't! The world cannot exist as it does if Jesus restores order, and clean things up. A lot of money would be lost and the rich people who run the world and make billions upon billions of dollar off of so-called sin would be hurt and they wouldn't tolerate that.

You can't have Jesus on the scene and have prostitution, pornography, gambling, drug consumption and dealing, gangster rap music, gang-banging, drive-by shootings, etc. Hell, you couldn't even have credit due to the interest credit comes along with and if you know your Christianity, interest (usury) is forbidden! Do you know how much money banks and other financial institutions make on interest alone? Jesus would wreck this and because of this, the leaders of the world would have a hit out on Jesus. Seriously! This is not sacrilegious talk from a radical man.

The poor follower and believer in Jesus would never get to see him. Jesus cannot be afforded to enter the Matrix!

If there is no crime, what are all these police officers going to do for a living? If there are no fires, what are all these firefighters going to do?

If there are no prisoners, what are all these prisons going to do? If there are no sick people what are all these doctors, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, and hospitals going to do?

If there are no fearful, worried, and materially attached people, what are all these insurance salespeople and insurance companies going to do?

You may have never thought about this, but you need to! All that waiting on the Lord to return talk is really for the birds because the Rulers of the world (Matrix) ain't having it. Jesus bringing the Kingdom of God to earth would be devastating. Trillions upon trillions of dollars would be lost.

Look, the truth of the matter is: you've been sold a bill of goods under religion so as to help you better take your shafting and fleecing you're receiving from men who run this world. Religion was devised to help control you, to keep you quiet while the Rulers stick it in real hard and deep. It keeps you complacent!

What is the military going to do when Jesus puts an end to all these stupid political wars that are killing innocent people but bringing in billions of dollars to industrial corporations?

What is Las Vegas going to do when Jesus puts an end to gambling?

What about the pornography industry? What are these porn stars, producers, and directors going to do?

The Matrix is a gigantic trick bag and you're in it! You may not even know you're in it!

You have adultery today because adultery is forbidden, plus, people just don't give a damn. When you forbid a thing, you give energy to it. People will always cultivate a desire to do forbidden things, regardless what it may be, and a big reason is rebellion but also natural curiosity.

To give clarity for something I said earlier, government is not creating these things that we do. They are already in us, but when government creates a mundane law, it gives energy to the desire already in us and now we want to act it out under the propensity to rebel against authority. This is what's really going on.

The Devil does not exist! Even occultist Aleister Crowley admits this in his writings:

"Before leaving the subject of Black magic, one may touch lightly on the question of Pacts with the Devil. The Devil does not exist. It is a false name..." Magic: Book IV, p. 277

The Devil is nothing but the negative polarity or energy personified, just as the concept of God as taught to us in the Matrix, is the positive polarity of energy. So therefore, negative and positive and good and bad are simply the same thing (energy), only differing at degrees.

Now understanding this, I don't believe in the Devil as some entity dressed all in red, with horns, a tail, and carrying a pitchfork, but I do believe in negative energy.

I don't believe in the Devil but I do believe in doers of evil (limited and linear expressed negative energy).

Now members of the Nation of Islam, NGEs, and others are going to be mad at me for saying the following, but I also don't believe the White man is the Devil. This (White man or White race as Devil) is another attempt to explain things to placate the ever working mind of man. Sanity requires an explanation of all the horrible things man (in this case, White people as a collective) has done on this planet (and especially to darker skinned people). Sanity requires reason, explanation, and justification.

It is necessary to know why White people have done what they have done and since necessity is the mother of all invention, the necessity of needing to know why White people have done what they have done has invented wild and fantastic stories about how White people got here in the first place and why they have caused so much mischief and bloodshed.

This necessity to know has caused the Nation of Islam to invent the wild story of a bigheaded Black scientist named Yakub who created the White race through an experiment that lasted 600 years.

NOTE: Actually, the Nation of Islam stole their account of Yakub, as well as other accounts, from the Moorish Science Temple.

Other accounts created by Black nationalists have Whites being the products and descendants of albinos.

These are all just theories in an attempt to placate the mind of man.

Personally, I have made my peace with the Devil by not acknowledging and believing in the Devil. This is why bad things cannot happen to me. I only focus on good, so that's what I attract into my cipher and bubble.

And because I don't believe in the Devil anymore, I also don't believe in a place called hell. To me, heaven and hell are both conditions (of the mind and spirit), not actual places. Hell can be a place in that the name describes a place where constant bad things happen or occur. But it is not a literal place where there is fire burning nonstop. Hell is not a place located in the center of the Earth, though there is reported to be something (a whole world) located in the center of the Earth (known as Shamballah) from many ancient and mystic writings.

Did you know that one of the biggest reasons many Souls (ghosts) stay earthbound is because they are afraid to enter into the Light for fear of punishment (going to hell) that they learned while on earth, in the flesh body, from some man-made religion?

We can actually put partial blame on religion (especially Christianity) for the influx of ghosts here in the Western world, especially the United States. The United States has to be the most haunted country and place on earth due to religious belief and materialism (a lot of ghosts are here because they remain attached to material goods, i.e. houses, buildings, people, etc.).

This would suggest that ghosts still identify with their minds, which appears to become their reality even in death or on the Other Side.

Do you see why it makes so much sense to clear your mind of all this bullshit learned here in the Matrix?

Ask yourself: what benefits am I receiving in life for embracing the concept of the Devil?

Is my belief in the Devil healthy, positive, productive, and progressive?

Does my belief in the Devil make me feel good, safe, and secure?

Am I responsible for creating the concept of the Devil that I hold in my mind, or is it borrowed, and if so, from whom?

Is it really necessary for me to continue believing in the Devil in order to believe in God?

Does my belief in the Devil put love in me or put fear in me?

Ask yourself these questions!

And are we unconscious Devil worshippers? After all, we cheer for teams with 'Devil' in their name, i.e. Duke University Blue Devils, New Jersey Devils.

We have an unconscious acceptance of teams with diabolical connotations. The Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball took notice of this and changed their team name:

TAMPA BAY, FL-Tampa Bay Devil Rays officials announced Monday that the team will be shortening its name to the "Tampa Bay Rays," that their updated uniforms will feature a blue-and-white color scheme accented by orange rays of sunshine, and that they are now a minor-league hockey team in the Florida Panthers system. "We tried the combination of calling ourselves the Devil Rays, wearing purple-and-black uniforms, and playing the sport of baseball for 10 years, and it just didn't work out," said Rays goalie Carl Crawford, noting that it was time to move the franchise away from its association with the distinctly shaped sea-dwelling mammal, the diabolical connotations of their team nickname, and the practice of hitting and catching baseballs. "These changes will make our team more marketable, triple our fan base, and finally, give us a realistic chance to win. I can't wait to get back on the ice!" The Tampa Bay Rays will play their first game of the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League season tomorrow night against their in-state expansion team rivals, the Miami Ice Dolphins.

So, we name some of our sporting teams after the Devil or the name is mentioned in the full team name. Proof of an infatuation, perhaps unconscious, with the Devil? Possibly!

We eat Devil's food cake!

We even call 'sprinkling', deviled, i.e. deviled eggs.

Man, people are just all tripped up and most just don't know it. Some do know it but are just hopeless and/or just accept matters as is simply trying to find some peace in the midst of all the bullshit.

Clearly there appears to be an unconscious love-hate relationship with the Devil.

Hopefully this article will cause many free-minded people to analyze their personal belief in the Devil. I'm not interested in religious-minded people, only "free-minded" people.

Many of us have made a mistake in believing in the Devil. I personally think belief in the Devil was the biggest evil itself. This is also said on the back cover of the book, "A History of the Devil" by Gerald Messadie:

"The biggest ruse of the devil is making us believe that he doesn't exist," claimed Baudelaire. On the contrary, argues bestselling historian and critic Gerald Messadie, the true evil lies in the fact that we believe in him at all.

In "A History of the Devil", Messadie elucidates on the personification of evil through the ages and across cultures and reveals that Satan of Judeo-Christian mythology ? the antithesis of God and good - was a concept unknown to the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians (Kemetics), Hindus, and Chinese.

The book is really a great read and I highly recommend it.

Instead focusing so much on the Devil, I suggest we start focusing on the evil within self that we are afraid to deal with, which could explain an unconscious infatuation with many people having a love of horror films. By watching the evil on the big screen, evil is watched without or externally and not watched within. It may even be analyzed without, but not within.

The evil trapped within us all become projected on large movie screens which unconsciously draw us in to ponder over a subject we are afraid to even deal with on our own. This is humanity for you, especially the Western world of humanity.

We may like to be scared via horror films because we are scared collectively to deal with our own inner horrors, monsters, and demons. It's perhaps safer to watch a slasher than to slash away at those inner demons, so in Halloween's Michael Myers, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leather Face, we find an outlet, an escape. But to escape is not to overcome and we must learn to overcome our challenges, not run from them.

Our Western Halloween holiday is a one-day event and ceremony whereby we pay homage to the dead as well as the ghoulish and even flirt with evil but one day out of 365 days is not enough to deal with the dead, ghouls, and especially evil and especially while not being sober. In fact, most of us are unconscious of what Halloween was supposed to represent. In replacing the pagan Samhain holiday with the Christianized Halloween, we actually did a big disservice to ourselves.

With Samhain, the focus was genuinely on the dead, the souls that left the fleshly realm but were still earthbound; but with Halloween, the focus is on 'Trick Or Treating' for toxic sugar-laced candies (for children and teens), and for adults, Halloween parties where beer and booze dominate.

In the West we simply just don't like to deal with hardcore issues and then we always wonder why we constantly hear about serial killers and rapists on the news, how mothers kill their own children, how postal workers and college students shoot up their offices and schools and kill co-workers and co-students, and other stories and events of a macabre nature.

In my personal opinion, it's time to give the Devil and all of his aliases, i.e. Satan, Shaitan, Lucifer, etc. the boot! The Devil has been in the human mind far too long and for rent-free too!

Just remember the following maxim when ridding yourself of the Devil:

"We have to be careful that in throwing out the devil, we don't throw out the best part of ourselves"
