The programmed mind is the determinant for our level of consciousness. One is not doomed to remain at this level. The Bible emphasizes repentance which is both a deprogramming and a reprogramming of the mind. The Greek word most often used in the NT for repentance is metanoia....literally to transform the mind. Once this is done and the process is understood it is repeatable. You are not stuck simply at your new level. It is possible to progress to higher and higher levels. The progress can end by your free will if you are satisfied with whichever level you have attained.

These are all practical—- it would make sense a principle has reincarnated a “nativity “and practically practised ‘humanity’ either these peace on ‘that’ earth or this earth is considered consequential... it’s hard for ‘earth’ to find peace when - while reincarnating it’s hard to leave the body: without Mutilation unless your completely “plugged in” —-

An appropriate answer in this Christianity section.
Excellent.
And I noticed you both did not honor satan with a capitalization as many Christian authors, also, adhere to.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

If you look at some of the various Bibles, they all seem to use Satan. For example Job 1:6 renders the Hebrew word הַשָּׂטָ֖ן as Satan. If you look at various translations of that Hebrew word in the Book of Zechariah and Job, it appears the word always gets translated as Satan.

In the New Age realm, Satan is rendered generally as satan but as far as I can see, in mainstream Christianity, their Bibles all seem to render the word as Satan.

a title for who?

i would assume it is capitalized as it is seen as a conscious being or force.
a force of evil which is depicted in the bible as a "person" of sorts
lucifer was a fallen angel...same as satan?

the being or force or energy that prevents peace on earth
