SATAN

Satan -- Collective Consciousness and Gravity of Mind: If we are to use an analogy or comparison, Satan can thus best be understood as the gravity of mind that holds our thinking to this world.   In the same way that gravity keeps our bodies attached to the surface of the earth, the satanic force keeps our thoughts attached to the physical.  Moreover, because we dwell in an “…intelligent universe” which attempts to fight off all threats to its  existence in the manner of our own physical bodies fighting off an invading  germ or disease, any time we attempt to move into harmony with our indwelling soul or spirit, the physical world not only inhibits us, but will garner its own  forces to overcome us in the manner of the body producing antibodies to combat a virus or foreign microbe.
