Do you believe in Satan, that he used to be an angel?

Do you believe in Satan, that he used to be an angel? Or do you think he is something else altogether?

[AngelBlue]

No I don't believe in Satan. As far as I'm concerned he doesn't exist .

[Native spirit]

No I don't believe in Satan either

Nah, load of rubbish! Imo

I don't have a clue! People here not only believe in Michael the Archangel - and I know and trust someone
that had an 'encounter' with him along with friends there.
So...
it stands to reason, that there could be an angel named Lucifer, the Morning Star.
Could he have become jealous of sorts? Could he have started a rebellion?
Could he have actually visited Jesus during his 40 days of fasting?
I don't know.
Are there bad or evil spirits? I believe there are, as there are bad and evil, very dark humans.

Do I believe the stories about this Fallen Angel? I don't have a clue!
Do I believe NDErs that have been to a horrible hell and there was a terrible being there?
I don't know.
Could that awful, malevolent being actually be ''him''?
I don't have a clue?

If he exists somewhere - he has no interest in me, nor I in him.

There is no Devil but:

I wanted to be a Devil, I became one. There are many people like me.

I am healed now. I don't believe in punishment anymore, I believe in healing for all.

I humbly believe in a Satan, if light exist, the opposite must as well. I don't believe Lucifer / Helel is Satan. I believe Satan is something horrible of its own.

The problem we have now in this modern era is - all this written so long ago was written by 'people' - not spirit, but humans with ego and free will, and a lot was obviously written without spiritual consent 'free will' in play - all the religions written slightly differently.

But I've heard there's a powerful group of people 'rethinking' all that was written - oh yes 'here we are' talking about 'the now' and what we believe - I say in this vast universe where space websites say 'more planets than grains of sand on our beaches' - that there are maybe 6 planets under God's control with humans, this being a low ranking one - it would explain a few things, wars etc.

So yes we agree there's light and dark, but some of it take with a pinch of salt / open mind - its hard enough as it is on this planet, without any further worries - any dark ones come near me in the night, I'll tell it buzz off before I shoot light tiles at you from my mind, zap em.....

I remember my good friend on here Aknaton saying something dark presented itself to a group of them, and Archangel came to assist - God Bless you Aknaton, you've left SF's I see...

So lovely people, keep adding to this lifetime karma CV for when you're back home - be kind to others, complete your life plan here, and keep smiling.

And gentle roar in my right ear after writing - that's approval...

In my view, everything is a concept, an idea, until known directly, seen by the eye of our inner being. If we carry our beliefs into our meditation, are we not manifesting an illusion? Let silence be rippleless.

This said, in direct experience, what I have seen, is Baphomet. If unfamiliar, there’s a description on Wiki. He offered access through any or all of five doors. It was a silent communication. He was still, I was disconcerted, looking at his fearsome appearance. I declined and moved on, relieved. I had never seen or heard of Baphomet before this encounter.

In those days, a close friend of mine was connected intimately with Lord Shiva, so I asked him to ask Shiva and the answer was that Baphomet is actually a fully realised being, put in charge of the lower realms. He can appear anywhere, anytime, as he likes, which he sometimes does in jest.

So what’s there to say? Is there Satan or let us say Baphomet or any other similar form or entity? Yes. Are they bad? No. Each performs a function as God wills because all there is, is God alone.

This would bring us to what God is. I’ll quote Sri Yukteswar Giri’s opening words from the epic, The Holy Science, ‘God or Sat is the only true substance and is all in all in the universe’ or words to that effect.

This said, I have seen God directly, as boundless white light, that is the same as our light of Self in a singularity, seen when ego drops. The meeting with God was like meeting our Father (not mother), in as felt. I’ll leave what transpired aside for now, since that is not relevant to this thread.

I've heard God's voice 'once' in those dark covid days - it was mid battle, Freedom Fighters worldwide on the move - and one day I'm asking God are you still concerned, the deep voice of God said 'not anymore' - that free will had to be kept in play on this dangerous but beautiful planet...
