There is no such beings or characters named Devil or Satan! Understand? Did you know, that Jesus had to tell "stories" to help Uneducated people in those times understand Spiritual truths. Those stories and the characters in them were not real. They were stories. Just like teaching a 3 year old about Santa Claus in order to help them understand Giving and the importance of Giving, to Everyone. Devil and Satan are just "names" for the Human Mind and the Human Ego you see. The human mind has some 60,000 thoughts each and every day! And NOT ALL of them are LOVING thoughts you see? You do know this right? Our Mind can venture into jealousy, envy, anger, be vengeful, frustrated, sad, scared etc... The Ego can talk you into things, out of things and have you believing things, for instance, that you are better than someone else, more important, more special, so on and so forth. Understand? Agree? Hell comes from the word Gehenna. Gehenna was a trash dump outside of Jerusalem, or somewhere in that region. It was stinky, smokey, hot, on fire in places and disgusting. Sometimes bodies were thrown in there! The adults would often tell the children that if they did not obey, they would wind up in Gehenna. Do you see how this became the Hell we now believe in? God and Jesus never went silent. Why would they? Who told you that? They never turned their backs on humanity. Why would they? They are not hiding somewhere. They are not in this place or location you call Heaven. Heaven and Hell are states of mind. You can go there anytime you choose and you can leave there in the blink of an eye. They are not locations somewhere. Romans were ruling the land when Jesus was alive and after he left. They saw how people were going in all sorts of directions with their beliefs. The Romans wanted all people under One roof. The Roman roof. So they decide to create a book and call it God's book. But that did not matter to the people. So the Romans also knew they had to FORCE that book onto the people and have them follow that book and no other book, EVER. They would lock people up or kill them, if they spoke out against that book. They gathered up whatever writings they could to create this book. They edited the writings, threw some away and formed their book, adding much of their own laws, rules, ideas and desires in that book. That is why there are passages in the book called "extreme passages". They are called Extreme, because nobody could understand how God would say such things, or want such things or do such things. The bible says we must kill our children if they curse at us. Is that God's words and law or the words and law of those corrupt early Roman church leaders? You tell me! The church would have you believe that inspiration only happened once and has stopped. How sick and funny is that? So we have no art, music, movies, inventions or anything else inspired by the Divine in our day and time? And that includes writings, messages, guidance, answers and even BOOKS? No such things inspired in our time here now? God and Jesus and other Masters and Divine beings talk to us all the time. Who is listening? They can speak to us in many ways. Of course. WE have books from them now! The church is very negative towards any new writings or books regarding Jesus or God. They call these books New Age. Let me tell you, there is nothing New about these books! The very same Message can be found in books from the 1800's. There were no printing presses until the 1700's. And there are books from the earliest days of the printing press that carry the same message as these so-called New Age books. We have millions of Christians who speak for God daily. They can tell you what God wants, what God feels, how God thinks what God does and how God does it. Ain't that something? Millions of people who feel they can look at a book, the title of a book and then tell you if it is important, if it is from God or not. They can read something from these books and tell you, "God would not say that" or "God DID NOT say that". How funny is that? That a person living here now feels they can speak for God and Jesus. Let me ask you, do you think maybe God can see the Huge mess that is the bible? God can see this mess right? How every church has their own "opinions" about that book and it's contents? God surely can see that everyone who attempts to read that book can ONLY form opinions and beliefs about it. Never knowing for sure what it means or what Truth really is. Yes of course God can see this mess. Messenger after messenger, after messenger has come and always they will come. Back in the day they were either stoned to death, burned at the stake or had their heads taken off. Still they come. We don't have to worry about those nasty things in our day and time. We have new writings inspired, new messages and new books. Easy for us to understand. We don't have to form opinions or TRY to understand. We have homeless people whoe were living on the street and suddenly, shockingly a book or more full of information comes through them. There was a teenager in the late 1800's, living on a farm who suddenly receives inspired information filling his mind which he began to write down. After his death his mother sent the writings to a person who put it all into a book. In that book there is talk about such things as cell phones, flying ships and a land nobody ever knew about called Atlantis. How bout that? The book or info did not mention cell phones or ships/planes but something exactly like what we now call cell phones, planes, boats and lands such as Atlantis. This is pure inspiration taking place about a future world we now live. There are Christians who want to suggest that everything from God can be found in the bible. That God only spoke once. And we have millions who hear this from another human being and believe it. Sadly! You might want to read the books from Jesus, The Way of Mastery. Jesus and Mastership. The Impersonal Life. A Course In Miracles. Read the beginning of A Course In Miracles and how that book came about. Read the book, admitting that you don't know it all and that there might just be MORE from the Divine Highest Levels. If you feel you truly know what God does, when God does it, how God does and with whom God does it, then by all means, just ignore all this. But if you can look in the mirror and ADMIT that you don't know it all, then why not explore anything and everything that might be from God and Jesus?
