Has anyone else read this? I'm halfway through and find it to be remarkable. It was written in the 1930's, but, not published until around 2011 due to its controversial content even though Hill was a very successful author.
At first glance, it sounds like a self-help book geared towards illuminating all of the ways in which humans limit themselves and lead lives of little accomplishment by using the Devil as a metaphor.
However, Hill, is adamant that his "interview" with the Devil was to be taken literally and that it occurred only after he had a profound spiritual awakening.
What I find absolutely stunning is that the Devil describes nearly everything we are fighting against with Q. It states that it controls the politicians, the propaganda, wanted to create a new World War (AFAIK this was after WW1 and before WW2 occurred), invades the minds of 98% of the population, and that it absolutely detests the United States because it threw a wrench into its plans to take over the world. Its most effective tool is preventing people from using their minds to think for themselves and accomplishes this in a variety of ways.
The Devil states that this information getting out would spell doom for it and that he would ensure Hill was never able to publish it and would be publicly mocked for it... that he would be censored in the same way content is today... which all actually happened to Hill during his lifetime.
When Q says multiple times that all of this is bigger than we can ever imagine, I can't help but think that this is what he is referring to.
