I see. Probably a good strategy. I appreciate the desecration of anything too pious. I hope your angst resolves soon. When the fire is raging it can be quite difficult to please.

I thought of you some weeks back, I had a night when I communed with Satan and she helped me with some rage of my own, in a liberating way. Helping me to understand all my spiteful impulses on a more primal level, to see the Good (the Bad?) in them

This also matches closely my experience.

Perhaps seeing their cages, illuminated as such by our consciousness, can help us see our own. Like a mirror. They might seem quite different at first, but on closer inspection probably share the same basic characteristics.

Some kind of FEAR.


The Matrix films are a great allegory, about freeing your Mind. And as Bob Marley put it, "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.
None but ourselves can free our minds."

Time and time again, I have had to face the fact that my hatred, blame, and recriminations toward others, only hold my own self back. As they say, what you do to others, you do to yourself.

Perhaps the Devil wants us to realize that we are all, in fact, in Her clutches. Only a few at a time have the consciousness to see it and the courage to say it. I'd like to let her crush me to nothingness (anythingness).

God is a cage we are placed in at birth. "BiioLOgICal SeX" is also another cage.
Normativety is a cage.
Tradition is a cage.

Most people are stuck inside of cage after cage, after cage, and they would rather see you dead, than see you walking outside the bars. Breathing the air. Feeling the sun.

The Devil is the symbol they use for what they fear the most. Above all else. Liberation.
