Every few months for like a week or two i get really interested in Satan/Lucifer. I often start feeling a lot of sympathy for him and kinda thinking "maybe he's not that bad".
I've also felt like I'm some kind of demon a lot in my life, and had a few very strange and powerful dreams that suggested the same. A lot of times during these phases I feel myself wanting that to be true and trying to figure it out more.
Now after all of this you might just think I'm just some run-of-the-mill satanist fag but I'm not, outside these phases I'd consider myself quite faithful to God (not exactly a Christian but close enough. I guess my question is what is this and what do?

>>40757121 (OP)
I want you to know OP, that all the demons can offer you is already known, well-trodden and corruptable; money, status and even women - it's vanity, unfulfilling and ultimately worthless, in contrast to what God will provide, which no man has yet seen or can fully even comprehend, and described by the Lord Himself as paradise, everlasting.

>>40757206
Yes I know lol, which is why I'm so confused by this.

>>40757121 (OP)
That's beautiful. God's victory with Love should be complete. Its very proper to pray for a happy end for all. You're looking for apocatastasis. Satan's true form wasn't evil per Gen 1:31 "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."

>>40757121 (OP)
All dualities ultimately resolve in the One without a second.

Therefore, even Satan—understood as a function of illusion or ignorance—is transcended in the realization of the Christ.

>>40757121 (OP)
>i get really interested in Satan/Lucifer.
Two different and distinct entities.
>I guess my question is what is this and what do?
It is a prodding go deeper and what you should do is research and meditation.
It may end up being a fast train to crazy town, but worth it. Just make a habit of reaching out to your higher power and using your intuition.

>>40757121 (OP)
We are darkness compared to God. To take after God is to love and understand the darkness. To let the light illuminate the darkness. Your feelings are healthy. The darkness in Taoism is feminine so it’s logical to develop a romantic attraction for the unknown and to be inspired to understand and work with it. What doesn’t make sense is to live in fear of the darkness and to reject it altogether.

>>40757121 (OP)
I mean thats pretty normal after a certain point of moral development.
You eventually realize Satan/Lucifer isnt a bad guy, his choice to be the "bad guy" is why free will exists.
He's God's chief QA engineer.

>>40757639
There is yang within yin and yin within yang.
Saying yin is female is a misnomer.

>A lot of times during these phases I feel myself wanting that to be true and trying to figure it out more
That says a lot. Your relationship with God is weakened and you're missing that special grace that makes everything feel just right. Now you look for a special feeling in the wrong place. "What if I were something more than just human? What if I were something special too?"
Needless to say, Satan is known to tempt people using their vanities against them. Humility is your weapon here, and protecting yourself is as simple as humbling yourself before God and rejoicing in His greatness, not in the greatness you were tempted to imagine in yourself. You're just human, and there is nothing wrong with that.
The antidote is to stay close to God and make it an active effort. The human condition makes us predisposed to distance ourselves from Him involuntarily, and before we notice the change we can be in a position where God's light isn't shining as brightly on us. Seek that feeling that made you faithful again, and don't be afraid. You'll soon enough look back at these thoughts you're having and find them silly.

>>40757121 (OP)
He needs help, and that is a vulnerability, and the exploitation of that vulnerability is why we are all where we are.

>>40757121 (OP)
You might be a Nephilim.
They slandered the Nephilim.
The Nephilim are the angels/demigods who came down here to help us, becoming like us (good and evil) in order to help seed the sciences to humanity and help them develop.
You might be of them.
The enemy is the Levitical priesthood, of which all Abrahamic thought is a part.
Jesus Christ spoke the truth.

Probably the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step model, since it's essentially agnostic.

Lucifer is an interesting mythological archetype, somewhere between Prometheus and the Prodigal Son. If you’re a good person and genuinely striving for self-improvement, you may be trying to keep yourself on-track with a cautionary tale, not to succumb to hubris on either side, to transmute and seek balance.
I currently have a natural aversion to demons and Satan, so don’t know how to respond to that aspect of your post, other than I thought of a line that’s been haunting me: “the demons were really angels, bringing darkness into the light”. I thought it was from Jacob’s Ladder, but it’s not (similar, but not the same).

>>40757121 (OP)
OP, most people would tell you that there is a part of you that is not wholly aligned with Yahweh, and that you have to forcibly realign that part with the divine. However, if this 'sympathy for the devil' is a regular occurrence, like you say it is, then you may have to consider that instead of a part of you not being in alignment with Yahweh, all of you is not in alignment with Yahweh, and instead, in alignment with Lucifer. Otherwise, you would not regularly feel the need to break out of the alignment with the divine, even if that need is currently manifesting itself as a faint whisper and a tender curiosity.

Most of us are wired to follow a greater outside of ourselves because it absolves us of the pain and misery of life while also making it impossible to experience the full breadth of its beauty and joy. Others are wired to reject the greater other outside of ourselves and manifest ourselves wholly, even if this means bearing the brunt of life's worst aspects in exchange for enjoying its most beautiful parts, too. It's the path of Yahweh and the path of Lucifer.

Something in you is saying that you aren't quite wired to follow Yahweh. You can attempt to forcibly follow this greater other, and to a large degree, it will consume you to the point of usurping even most of what tells you that this isn't what you are made for, but it will only succeed in swallowing it whole if you dissolve yourself completely within Yahweh.

Or you take this regular fork in your road and walk the path of Lucifer, where you'll be invited to unassailably manifest your unique self and reach apotheosis. There may be a reason that it is a regularly appearing fork in the road.

Denial of the self or assertion of the self. A safety that is superceded only by the safety of death or life in all of its facets, both terrible and wonderful.

The choice is yours, just as it is your life.

>>40757386
>Its very proper to pray for a happy end for all.

It is improper to preach apocatastasis as a sure truth, but I do agree that it is proper to pray for.
So long as it is prayed for in the same spirit as Christ in the garden when he says, "nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."

It is the greatest good I can imagine, but whatever is God's plan is the greatest good that can be, and certainly greater than whatever I can imagine.

How does that square with the Bible and still having faith in God though?

>>40765832
That is a good question, considering how the existence of "The path of Lucifer", as per that fag, puts the Bible and God into question on a fundamental level. Maybe the Bible isnt the last word on these matters after all, and maybe God doesnt have the final say, either.

>>40765832
Why would it have to?

>>40764067
It's likewise improper to preach about condemnation of others then as sure truth. The measure by which ye judge.

>>40768155
Because as I said in my OP I'm not just some satanist and don't want to be. Not looking to go against god, I want to somehow reconcile these feelings and the feelings of somehow myself being demonic with faith in God.

>>40757121 (OP)

>>40765832
>>40769408
The existence of Lucifer's path puts the Bible into question, just as it puts into question the omnipotence and omniscience of God. Most scream that what you are experiencing is a tug and a pull by Lucifer, only he doesn't hold any interest in tugging and pulling you along. You yourself are refusing to be in alignment with Yahweh because that is not what you are made for.

The only way to reconcile with, accept and integrate those feelings into who you are is to embrace them wholeheartedly. You cannot be 'demonic', i.e. committing spiritual dissent, while still praying at God's altar, for he will demand that you reject those parts of yourself so that he can take up room inside of you instead until you are but an empty husk that houses only Yahweh and nothing of you.

It's either or, OP. You can try to fight this infernal seed, but unless you are willing to suffer now and after for the sake of someone else, Yahweh, then it is better to embrace it.

>>40757206
>in contrast to what God will provide, which no man has yet seen or can fully even comprehend, and described by the Lord Himself as paradise, everlasting.
If I can't comprehend paradise I can't miss not having it. Lmao

Honestly, Lucifer was an idiot. He shouldn't have messed with God's creation without authority, but God could have been merciful... A good father punishes to teach and the punishment Lucifer received was far too harsh.

>>40768888
>It's likewise improper to preach about condemnation of others then as sure truth.

It is absolutely improper to preach that any specific individual is surely damned. That is why the Roman church proclaims saints, but does not assuredly proclaim the damned. We can't know. Cain, Judas, Nero, Stalin, any one of them could have truly repented without anyone knowing but God. Any one of them could have been saved by extraordinary means as well, or could yet be. The Bible teaches us how to be saved and how to be damned, and human observation makes it look like an awful lot of people are following the path we are told leads to Hell. But God is the judge.

OP here, I feel like I should maybe give a bit more context from myself about this. It's not like I'm just deciding "oh yea Satan's cool actually". I've posted about this some before on here but there's been a darkness with me my whole life. It's like the feeling of finality of death and the blackness beyond the stars. It's a little scary but also comforting, and sometimes when I contemplate/meditate on more "evil" or "Satanic" concepts I can feel it. When that happens it feels like home and I'm supposed to be there. It's almost nostalgic, like I've done all of it before and it turned out ok. I've also had a dream (one of the ones that most affected me ever in my life) where a man revealed to me I was made of darkness.
All that is contrasted by the fact that I don't REALLY want to be a bad person (on a cosmic scale, if you've read Master & Margarita think of how Woland's retinue is "bad" yet also not really). I KNOW God is the creator of everything and I have faith in and love for Jesus. I guess I'm just searching for some way for these to coexist because I don't want to go against God OR go against my "nature" of being dark.

>>40757121 (OP)
Not gonna lie there were times I thought like this too, but soon I realise they arent normal thoughts. They always come with a bitter angry against God and is always when or pride is lower and our vanity in our highest.
Talking about me, is always when I see human atrocities and remember how evil persons get away with everything. Or when I think that God owns me something. Always come the thoughts
>Imagine dying in a cross for these people instead of just rule this place with might
>Why left us against forces we cant fight?
>I will never be good for you, why did you let me fall?
>If only I had power...
>Forgiveness? I don't need it I don't owe God Nothing he who should apologise for creating this hell
And then, all the angry you fell will turn into utter despair and Lucifer himself will come to tempt you. He whisper in your ear how he is the one who can bring true justice to this world, to give you what you truly deserves, to use the power he will give to you against the ones you hate...All you have to do is serve him.
But I soon remember he is the one behind all that. He is like a drug dealer selling drugs to people and creating a problem of violent drug addicted and then giving you a gun to solve the problem, only to acuse you after killing all your equals. And I also remember how he was created with so much power and honor, but fell in disgrace because God loving a creature weak like a human being and willing to die for us was against made him mad. He had everything but for him God's grace and love were rays of pity and arrogance even with him knowing this not to true so he lied to himself just like we do.

>>40760627
Hey uh, so if I'm a yes to all of these as well as a very clownish and eccentric personality, what does that mean?

>>40757121 (OP)
>I often start feeling a lot of sympathy for him and kinda thinking "maybe he's not that bad".

Why wouldn't you have sympathy for him?
Where did his "evil" urges come from? Within.

Who made was within? God.

Not all angels had the same desires as the devil even though they grew up in the exact same place, so there must have been differences in their nature. God made his nature from scratch. So, the devil is just a victim of God's games ultimately like everyone in this universe.

Lucifer is the illuminator. Morning star. Satan is the ego getting caught in primal repetitions. They're aeons of the Ain Soph. Lucifer is freedom and it's up to you what you do with that freedom. That's the gift. So that you aren't a slave to the demiurge.

I guess that's what I think, just in a different way. I wouldn't consider anyone to be "victims of God's games", idk the fact that even Satan has a place and plan from God is kinda sweet in a way don't you think.

>>40778333
If Satan is just a marionette following the programming that God put into him and it's causing him great pain I don't think that is very sweet.

People say "free will" but ultimately they can't answer why was Satan's nature so that he used his free will for evil but other angels did not, despite living the same life. This means that God made Satan from scratch in a way that he would be inclined to pick evil. So he just did what God ultimately put into motion at his creation.

To add on a bit more (sorry I know I'm kinda just venting in this thread atp, trying to figure things out in my head), I'm almost jealous of Satan in a way? at least some depictions of him.
Like yea I know "le satan is actually le good guy cus he punishes sinners" is a gay reddit meme but tbqh I'm pretty misanthropic so that sounds fun. Plus been reading Master and Margarita so maybe my thoughts are crowded by that Woland depiction.

You are confusing satan with lucifer. Its 2 different beings. One is disgusting and dark (satan) the other is an angel of light (lightbringer, lucifer, Luc = Luz meaning light in spanish and latin)

Why defend him? Even in the bible God just announces that he is the source of everything.

Yeah uhh it's great.

Lucifer is simply a sympathetic character. God should not be able to be a perfect being and have created something that rebelled against them. God in the story is basically an unreasonable prick.

Frankly it shocks me that people hear that story and side with God. I know religion is feels first, details second, but from the moment I heard the story I felt bad for Lucifer.

If Lucifer were real I would give him a hug. And kick God in the shin.
