The Devil

I sought for the Devil in the scheme of things, for I came to perceive the rules that govern our existence on earth and the pattern that the Creator has set into the design for us to abide by.

And I realized that if there is indeed a vacuum for the Devil to occupy in the master plan and its unraveling into the circumstances surrounding us as individuals, then it is in the pursuance of our wants; for then the Devil inserts himself/itself into our actions by creating hurt and conflict between us and others. For want in itself seems harmless enough, but the carrying out of want may create pain for ourselves and for others through conflict.

This is my nearest identification concerning the role the Devil plays in our actions, centralizing himself/itself on each mans originally harmless desire and wreaking pain along with its manifestation into the play of events.

So that when we guard ourselves against our wants and desires we are not in fact protecting ourselves from ourselves, but from the Devils obvious and predictable pre-occupation with them as soon as they begin to come into existence.

Fo r I reasoned that I never see an actual unknown entity harming me or harming others as I go through life, only human faces.

But perhaps this is the key; that the Devil breeds upon our desires and manifests his/its own plans through them.

Silent, patient, scheming, waiting for an opportunity to introduce the element of pain.

So that the infliction of pain; the creation of it, is what the Devil comes to be, having no birthright or purpose of his/its own, to say little of a master agenda, but preying upon our desires and using the will inside each of us as a tool of destruction.

Disguising himself/itself behind the wants o f human beings, keeping himself/itself hidden and blamelessly out of sight.

Is this not the way of cunning people direct tools of their master that play people against each other by identifying and manipulating their victims innermost wants and desires?

Nobody really intends to do evil [the way to hell being paved with good intentions and all. The Devil recognizes this and has developed a subtler, cleverer scheme to achieve his purposes through temptation.

Every man wants something, the Devil aligns his intentions with a particular, usually quick and easy method to achieving this thing, and offers it up to the individual, who then becomes a donkey the unseen force will ride skillfully, and a scapegoat to whom all the accusing fingers will point when the deed is done.

So that we do not necessarily become slaves to the desires we have but slaves to the Devil that swiftly rides upon them and then disappears into thin air, leaving us to face retribution.

And the Creator is perhaps pained that we, the chosen race, would let ourselves become subject to a force that is so beneath us, a force that was declared base and inferior before the beginning of the world.

I said in the past that I cannot be ashamed of my feelings for they are innocent divine I said actually, but it is what I choose to do with them that I will be held accountable for, for in those things I have been given the power of choice.

I think tha t these words must now further explain this point, for my choices may empower the unseen malevolent force that seeks only to create havoc and destroy me and others.

I have searched for the Devil. I wonder have I found him/it.

Because then it is not a new thing at all, just a fact that lay right before my eyes and I refused to see consciously or unconsciously.

Whenever a plan comes to your mind, offering itself to you as a means to achieving a want, desire or goal, search for the pain factor for you or for others. There lies the Devil and his/its intentions.

Stop creating the Devil and he/it will cease to exist.

Take responsibility.

I am a poet, a writer, and an artist, and I believe in beauty, creativity and perfection. I love life, the world, and existence, thoroughly enjoying all of my various roles in the three. I believe every moment on earth is a gift; my advice for anyone would be to ensure that days are conscientiously and properly seized and nights spent in the profitable dreaming of dreams that come true. The Gemini star sign captures my personality satisfactorily; I enjoy the duality and restlessness declared as significant components of my nature. I get occasionally erratic. This is usually when new ideas start spinning round in my head. I absolutely thrive on these moments I define as my moments of clarity; quickening my pace to catch up, hastening to a keyboard to punch away into the middle of the night or doing whatever it is that is must be done immediately at all costs or else. I am passionate about my writing. I have found art to compose of a variety of covertly classic mediums that capture and portray thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and I savor it.
