Actually God of all creation said satan was god of this world!
World and earth two different things! World is the inhabitants of earth! God created the earth it belongs to him!!!
There was a certain question an atheist once posed to me. I gave him an answer. Then checked my answer years later with a Chabbadic Rabbi and a Conservative Rabbi. My question and the answers don't matter much, but the Chabbadic Rabbi, as part of his answer, said that this part of the creation is filled with base, low energy. Part of our purpose in life is to elevate and sanctify that energy into something higher, something holy. As one example, that's why you take an everyday event, like eating. Even animals eat. But when you say a Bracha, or a prayer, a thanks to G-d before you eat, you turn the base act of eating into something holy, something of high, spiritual energy. And it's through many little acts of this kind that we eventually will elevate the lower energies of this world.
So if the Satan or darkness seems to have its way in the world, my guess is that the world is mired in low energies, and we have to individually elevate it a little bit to raise the overall energy to something positive.
Your Chabbadic Rabbi is wise. He calls it energy, but there could be other concepts used, like "awareness." It reminds me of a verse from Judges 7:6 about Gideon bringing men down to the water to drink. "Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel to drink.” The point was to separate those who elevated themselves as beings who are above animals. It's more than just civility, it's like a spiritual status.
It also reminds me of how Dennis Prager always mentions the need for man to overcome his own nature. Or why we idealize marriage over casual sex, or due process over revenge. It even pertains to common manners. The atheists would call it etiquette and tradition, but those who believe in God know it's much more than that even if they don't know how to explain it.
Yeah there was.... there was another Rabbi, who described eating... he had four scenarios of eating a steak.
The first is you just ate, but the steak smells good. So you take a page from the Romans, make yourself vomit, and then eat the steak.
Second is you're hungry. You enjoy the steak.
The third and the fourth ... I can't remember the difference. But you're at your child's wedding and steak is on the menu.
Nothing was really wrong with the second.
The first one lowers you to a level BENEATH animals.
The third one elevates the meal to something higher.
That first possibility, vomiting to make space for more food -- it's an interesting concept that man can slip beneath animals.
I was horrified the first time I heard of the crime of being kind to a poor person, getting them to sign some paper for your charity.... and then murdering them a week later. Because you had them sign a life insurance policy, with you as the beneficiary.
I found that horrific because no animal would do that. Would an animal kill for food or fear or anger or do rape because... just because? Yeah, sure. But no animal ever made another animal sign a life insurance policy before killing them. That's a crime that requires the human gifts, the human intellect, to even conceive of.
When I heard someone describe that, my next sentence was literally: "That's why G-d flooded the world".
My first thought about misuse of the intellect like that is "That's why humans -- not animals -- must face God's judgement."
That's new-age Kabballah teaching. it also leads to a "blame the victim" mentality.
How does it lead to blame the victim?
And for the record, when I got the answer, my reaction was: "That's just too esoteric for me."
I used to follow someone who "channeled" this sort of thinking, and they basically said that if someone had something bad happen to them it was because they were "vibrating" that and attracted it. I think Oprah used to follow similar teachings. I stopped paying attention to her years ago.
Avoid the esoteric stuff, it's nonsense.
A Bracha is nothing more than simply saying thanks for the food. Yes animals eat, but most of them don't appreciate that food was made for them. We can appreciate it, and when we do, we're not ingrates.
