Looks like things are kicking off, as the lovely darker part of the year starts, in lala land.
Another attempt at getting me to read FULLY from a "other side" book. Just the usual open this or that gate recital. Ya I read some of it to myself. Never out loud.
The thing that cracks me up the most about Christians is how they view Satan.
The Hebrew scriptures, and Jewish theology, views Satan radically differently than does much Christian theology.
1) The character Satan or “Ha Satan” translates literally as “the accuser” or, in other contexts, "adversary", and that is what he is: he either tempts humans or brings their sins to God’s attention
2) Satan is not the force of evil; God is the source of all things, including what humans conceive of as good and evil
3) Satan works for, not against, God
4) There are no references to Satan in the earlier books of the Hebrew Scriptures.
5) There are very, very few references to Satan in the later books, and all of these are in just four of the later books: Chronicles, Job, Psalms, and Zechariah, written c. 600-500 BCE. Satan only occurs as a specific character once, however: in the book of Job.
Even today most Jews find the Medieval conception of Satan being the force of evil a rather blasphemous idea because it implies that God is not omnipotent; that is, it implies that God is not the force behind all things, both good and evil.

Rabbi told me that JEHOVAH is LUCIFER.
Woke up aware in a dark place with a even darker something pressing in all around me. My awareness is split. I am aware in the normal first person POV but also as a second POV watching. In this case most of my awareness is the second POV.
Listening to myself recite a protective spell. Must have been some very bad juju going on for me to recite a spell while asleep in a dream/place. A first.
