Okay, let me put it this way.

Satan isn't a formal name. It is a translation for the word "adversary"

Devil actually means "Slanderer"

Lucifer means "Bearer of Light" but that is a butchered translation of a translation for the real name of the demon/angel in question.

It's Haylel.

El usually means God.

Angel means Messenger of God.

Michael, Gabriel, Raphael -- they aren't names God gave to His angels. They are an aspect of his glory bestowed upon His loyal followers. They are their respective anointings.

Michael means Who is like of God.

Gabriel means Strength of God.

Raphael means Healer of God

Raziel means Secrets of God

Haylel then would mean Light of God, right? Lucifer means Light Bearer, so Light of God is correct in translation, right?

No. English doesn't have a word for it. Few languages do. Praise of God is closer, but is still incorrect.

It's more akin to the Narrator or Director of a story, rather than its Author. It's the Spotlight in a stage play. It's what directs the attention of a story.

Haylel is, or rather was, the stage operator. Haylel was God's chief Cherub. Haylel was God's entertainer and Choir director. Haylel was, effectively, Hollywood.

Rather, HE HIMSELF wasn't these things, but he was given authority over these things.

And he had one big job, his Magnum Opus. God gave each of the angels a Great Work to do, and they had free will to accept or reject it.

Haylel's job was to tell the Good News of the World. He was tasked to announce the coming of Man. Adam.

He rejected this Great Work, and with it he rejected his Stone. He rejected God's will, and therefore rejected God.

And so Haylel held trial in the Heavens before the Throne and tasked God to explain what this Man he planned on bringing into the World was, and how it was that something lesser than the Angels would be given Authority over them.

"What are humans that you are mindful of them, mere mortals that you care for them? Yet you have made them little less than a god, crowned them with glory and honor, You have given them rule over the works of your hands, put all things at their feet: all sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatever swims the paths of the seas." - Psalms 8: 5-9

This passage is David recanting the objection Haylel spoke before his fall. David, through the Psalms, was transcribing the infinite prayers of the Angels, which they say every day, timeless beings as they are. However, Haylel's namesake, his "praise" was forever more tinged with obstination.

Rebellion ensued, and God cast out a third of the angels who refused to do their tasked Great Works.

And so, all the demons who rejected their Authority, their namesake, became Satan -- The Adversary.

But first among them was the Devil, once called Haylel/Lucifer, who was the Slanderer who set them upon that path. All fell due to his Slander of the Word. Instead of disclosing to the World the true nature of the Son of Man, he withheld the news of the Authority of Adam; to have Authority equal to God as is his rightful inheritance.

From then on, he was the Devil, Slanderer of God's word. He cannot create, and so he takes that which is good and convinces Man to use it at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and for the wrong reasons. Nothing God made is evil. Evil is using a tool of God against its nature.

You would not use a hammer to turn a screw, just as you would not kill your fellow Man. Killing is not always wrong. You must kill to eat. The concept is not incorrect, but is misuse is. And so, the Slanderer would say "Is it not better to kill your fellow Man that you would advance your station? Is it not right that the ends justify the means?"

That is the definition of Evil, whose Author is the Adversary we call Satan. Any who reason thusly ARE Satan. Haylel/Lucifer is simply its author. He does not sin personally, and every moment he bares his hands as proof that they are clean. But he does not open his mouth in the presence of the Lord, as no greater vitriol exists in all Creation.

You see, what really sets humans apart from angels is that we can choose our own Great Works, as well as refuse them outright. It's our own limitations that give us that choice, and so our Free Will is something far greater than the Spiritual Free Will of the angels.

Through our limitations we have infinite choice but limited time to choose. This grants us the Divine Spark, and enables us to uniquely serve God such that He, the know-er of all things, may be pleasantly surprised by our flattery of Him.

Jesus' Great Work was the Passion. He created the Stone as a carpenter, which is to say he is the Stone and gave proof of it so that the Universe may know him, and once he had achieved mastery of the Art of Creation, it was then time to Perfect the Stone as the only one who possibly could.

Love is the Greatest of Works, and no act is more proving of Love than Sacrifice of the Self.

He was perfect in every way, and so the Unblemished Offering, the Sacrificial Lamb shed his blood into the World and the World knew Him as its master.

But what is the World that it have any need of reverence to itself?

One name for the world is the Father, but another is the Lord.

The Lord is the Law. It is the rules of the Universe which are held ever in balance such that we may find one another in it.

The Law is the harvest. If you would plant a seed, tend to it, and Love it, it will bear great fruit. If you mistreat the seed, rush it to grow, and take it for granted, it will respond to you in kind.

The Lord is the God of the Old Testament, and breaking its Law garnered you no favor and immediate wrath. The Lord was just, and his mercy was reserved for the merciful.

But the Blood of the Stone lived in the World, and mercy bled through to the followers of the God of Abraham. All that was done by the Lord was to the letter, with only as much grandeur as a careful machine would have done, not as a Man who Loves would have done.

Jesus fulfilled the Law, and is the Son of God whose Authority he wields. He is known for his Mercy above all, which is the Law given unto Love. For what is Justice but a cold and blind mistress. Justice and Love together form Mercy, and such is the fulfillment of the Law.

They Mercy of God, of Christ Jesus, is infinite. It breaks all bounds of logic and reason and revels at the Sinner who has but one virtue to his name, because by that singular virtue and a repentant heart, that Sinner is saved. That is why those in heaven celebrate wildly at the redemption of the greatest sinners.

For the Love of God is so great that the only thing necessary for redemption is that you not cast blame but accept your failures and ask for forgiveness. God knows your heart, and if you are truly sorry, you will be forgiven.

There is no measure of time for how quickly God can forgive.

That is the mystery of Faith.

I hope this finds you well.

God bless.

Here's the main bit

Get ready for a long read...

I've been going down some rabbit holes the last few days. Isisian Codes, harmonic frequencies, meditation focusing on controlling your own sympathetic nervous system, and all other kinds of stuff.

I've come to some conclusions on how magic REALLY "works."

To preface, let's get some things straight first. God is real, demons are real, and they constantly influence the earth. God didn't make occult magic, so that must mean demons made it, right?

But you might ask, "aren't demons destructive and unable to create?"

Well, keep reading to find out what might be going on there.

There are layers of magic. Some are simply superstition and others actually get to the point of objects moving on their own, levitation, and electrical disturbances all the way to occult rituals designed to harvest demonic powers. I'll get to those, but let's start with superstition.

Superstition is attributing to a random act a predictable result. Break a mirror, you get bad luck. You walk under a ladder, you'll get bad luck. You step on a crack, break your mother's back. Those types of things.

Superstition has its use in the human psyche. It is nestled in cause-effect and pattern recognition, and those are very useful skills to develop. The only problem with superstition is that the cause rarely has anything to do with the effect aside from statistical coincidence. People attribute a pattern to happenchance and begin to think falsely concerning what can be predicted to happen given certain specific events. You begin to spot patterns that aren't there and ignore ones that are.

So why does it have power over people enough to influence their actions? You may have figured it out just with that line, so let me diverge a little before I spoil the surprise.

Let's break down the types of "magic."

Superstition: Believing that certain specific events predict future outcomes with more than chance regularity.

Rituals: By the placement of objects, the saying of chants, and the orchestration of a carefully ordered set of actions, one hopes to influence the world, thereby putting a hex or a spell on a person, object, or reality as a whole.

Potions: "Drink this, you will feel better and all your ails will fade away." Basically the idea that certain ingredients put together can influence the human body more than by mere chemical interaction or nutrition.

Omens/Brands/Symbols/Totems/Talismans: Objects or patterns that seek to influence the surrounding space or idea to which it is ascribed. For instance, Shinto priests will write words on paper sheets and pin them to doors, Satanists will hide occult symbols in social media logos, animal totems will try to invoke the spirits of the wild, and some groups even make an effort to use numerology as a means for complex ciphers with double-meaning.

Illusion: Tricking the eye of onlookers to think you have abilities that you do not actually have. Illusion, like magic tricks, in and of itself is benign, but the mystery and showmanship is where the magic actually is. Convincing people you can do things they cannot and in inexplainable ways can give you power over them. Real power of suggestion. Even to a point of mind control.

.

So, what is going on here?

Well, you could come to the conclusion that these things actually work. By placing a circle of candles, and stabbing a doll of the person you hate with a needle, that you can actually do harm to them. 99% of the time, if you were to try that, it won't work. But that off chance it does... Is it still worth it to try, considering you do have malicious intent?

Let's talk about the first layer of "magic."

First Layer Magicians

There are people who believe they do have the ability to influence the world through spells and rituals. They do things and let their victim know, or not know, what they are actually doing. They think their power comes from demonic powers, and seek to grant favor with demons to attain it.

...

Consider the following.

You believe that someone has put a spell on your. Or at the very least, someone you know who does occult stuff may have put a spell on you. You don't believe it, but something in the back of you mind keeps you wondering.

Something bad happens to you. Aww, it must be coincidence.

Another thing bad happens to you. Well, that's strange.

Another really bad thing happens to you. This is freaky, how is this happening?

Another really really bad thing happens to you. THAT WITCH PUT A SPELL ON ME!

And so on and so forth.

Think about what is really happening here. Did the witch actually put a spell on you? Or is it your own mind leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy? I think it would be the latter, correct?

...

Okay, now think about this.

The Placebo effect is a well documented medical phenomena. People given medicine and told it will help them actually do get nominally better. They don't know it is actually sugar pills, but despite the medicine being categorically ineffective, they still get better.

What's going on here?

Well, the person's own positivity and determination is what is actually making them better. They have faith that they will get healthier, and those positive vibrations/feelings/beliefs actually propel them to physically manifest what they believe to be happening.

...

What do those two previous examples have in common?

The short answer, is the victim/patient's own belief into what is actually going on. If they think they have been cursed, they will actually seek to validate that belief by making clumsy and poor decisions because they subconsciously believe it to be so. Likewise, with the Placebo effect they act as if they will get better and so their bodies respond in kind.

You can view that as just a psychology trick, but in reality something "magical" is going on beyond the explanation of science. The luck of the cursed person does seem to legitimately be unexplainable at times, beyond just self-destructive psychological torture.

And so stands the second layer of "magic."

Second Layer Magicians

Some know that people have doubts about the non-existence of magic. They likewise know that superstition doesn't in and of itself result in predictable outcomes. They realize that it is people's own perception working against them is the real power, because they know the power of suggestion and superstition can be used to self-sabotage those who have poor faith, or rather, too much faith in the wrong thing.

Furthermore, they believe that "real magic" comes from belief alone. They believe that as long as they will something to be, it will come to pass. They believe that every person has the ability to affect reality in substantial ways simply by believing something can/will occur. They also believe that by manipulating another person's belief system, it will force reality to shift and change to meet what the majority of peoples' perception is.

This type of occultist believes, without a doubt, that the world is ever-changing and if a group of people believed in something hard enough they can even will aliens into being, wholesale. They believe if they plant symbols and double-messages everywhere, that they are branding the world to shift in their favor.

They have that much faith in the power of suggestion.

The only problem with such people is that they too have been duped.

Enter, the third layer of "magic."

Third Layer Magicians

Now comes the real shtick. Who puts people like the Cabal in charge?

More to the point, why, if the previous is true, aren't the most faithful Satanist and Cabalists not on the front line of "willing" into being their preferred machinations? Why aren't there massive rituals taking place in honor of their delusional belief system?

Because the third layer magicians know the "truth."

To them, it is all just the placebo effect. People cannot change reality just because they believe hard enough. Rather, these occultists "know" that the only real power is by deluding people into believing something so much that they grow a form of determination and unwavering faith that something will happen because of the "magic" cast on them that they become a veritable force of nature. They become so certain in their assumptions about what is going on that they become unstoppable. They truly believe they can do it, and so they can, even to the point of ignoring their own demise.

This explains why the Cabal won't stop even though they know...

Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming.

The second layer think they can control the world by willing things into being, and that by duping enough people into believing the same, they will have their way.

The third layer knows that this is a force that can be harvested, so they appease the second layer and use money and leverage to make it seem like reality is shifting to the will of the second layer, thereby emboldening them to act fervently for their beliefs.

In other words, the third layer turns the second layer magicians into ZEALOTS who are so thoroughly brain-washed that they think anything is possible, even willing flat-earth into being a reality.

Such a slave is hard to come by, and takes decades of brain-washing. But the results speak for themselves.

But, we are missing one more layer.
