AngelBlue,

It is not a separate being but rather our very selves. Specifically it is the ego. The ego is our mechanism for self survival. Because we are not spiritual we only perceive the physical world. The survival of this world is dependent on death(our food,etc). The ego sees this death and is attracted to shortcuts.

Hi.... Ahh yes, well that makes sense of course. I didn't know if you meant that satan had come to earth in the form of "man" which if you believe in him might also make sense ( even though I don't make much sense I will try!)....

With me nothing is simple , one thought leads to another , then another , then another till in the end I have grown a tree of thoughts so big with questions that I will not even be alive long enough to get all the answers ...
So here's the thing...
Obviously some people believe in satan. And some don't. Some people believe in God and some don't.
Many people blame God for everything and others know he is not to blame .
Do you therefore think that if you believe in God , never blame him for anything and absolutely 100% do NOT entertain Satan , they would give a bit of discount in Poundland ????
( Sorry can't help myself! )

But seriously if you lived with those thoughts , do you think that is why you have an awakening to it all at some point ? Or is that just coincidence?
