The Devil in Disguise
THE DEVIL is a myth created out of misunderstanding and deception. For those who have been lead into believing that the devil is an entity that causes all evil and is a reality, we will look at the truth here.
If you honestly consider every act of sinning, and look for its root, you will see that they all stem from fulfilling the selfish desires of the physical body, that cause others loss or hurt. They affect even the environment we live in and they are acts against what is good and right for all. Try and think of a sin that is not done for the security, self-preservation or acquisition of pleasure for the physical body, to the detriment of someone else.
It is said that the devil was given dominion over the world, take another look, it is mankind that has dominion over the world. It is no co-incidence that the devil is portrayed as a physical/spiritual creature, with the appearance of part human.
It has been said ‘fear not the one who has the power to destroy the physical body, but rather fear the one who has the power to destroy the soul’. The one who has the power to destroy your soul is your own physical body, but only when your soul is unaware that it is the master.
The devil in reality is the physical body, it has no will or awareness of its own and cannot live without the soul. The deception is in the soul, and where there is deception, there is a measure of innocence. But make no mistake, there are angels of darkness that reinforce temptation and have lead many into deception and sin. Those who serve only the flesh, serve only themselves, and stand alone. Those who serve the spirit, serve for the good of all and are never alone. Those who serve both, serve neither.
With selfishness the darkness divides and conquers. On the scale between master and servant, WHERE ARE YOU?
Soul/Body connection
The brain is the place where the soul interfaces with the physical body. Without this connection, the physical body is no more than an inanimate animal, and the soul is unable to interact with the world. You are not your physical body, you are its master.
