The Power of Satan

If we must use the word Satan, we must also define his power. We do experience a lot of negativity and fear on our planet, and so it seems to some that a force is manipulating us. There is the belief that we become possessed, that God abandons us, and that we are powerless because of Satan. Satan is known as God's opposing force, and there is spiritual warfare going on... that we have to fight off the devil. Who would've known that Satan is actually powerless?

Satan is not an entity that can actually do harm. He has no power at all over anything. He is really an illusion - the ego in action. We are the only one's that cause evil and pain, and this never happens to only others but firstly ourselves. If you had a strong, evil will, you would be putting yourself in your own hell.

The mind is a very powerful device, but when used through your ego, it can be very hurtful. I have experienced this in the hospital when I was at the apex of my manic cycle, and I became so self-destructive that I became paranoid. I was in hell, and I wasn't able to get out until I realized that I put myself inside that illusion of pain. So using the words Satan and the Devil suggests that this force is coming from outside of yourself. It is not at all! You are making the pain, and you are completely in control of it.


Anyone who works "evil" has the weakest power. For the ones who have divine, spiritual will, or "good," all power is theirs. Since their laws are love, light, and wisdom, it unites instead of separates and destroys. Those who follow these laws are all-loving, omnipresent, all-knowing, all-seeing and perfect. They can bless and heal all while enjoying the bliss of God, can remain ever-youthful and immortal, teleport, change form, bilocate (actually, they can be in as many places as they want at the same time), and instantly manifest anything they desire. Their possibilities are endless.

These powers can seem scary if their will is evil, but it is a natural law that self-destructive will is powerless. To be omnipotent, you must have the highest good. Do not be afraid anymore of demons, the devil, hell, or Satan, as they are all your own illusion and don't even exist.
