The Source

"The Almighty divided Himself into two high spirits - God and Satan"

 The question has been posed:-

Does this imply that 'Almighty' and 'God' are not the same? That's interesting.

So Almighty placed Satan there to accomplish a certain function? So, why is Satan regarded as evil

As I see it the confusion created by all this (at least in the Abrahamic Traditions) goes back to the need of the Jewish/Hebrew tradition to confront another strong Tradition at the time, Zoroastrianism. This posited TWO gods, opposed to each other. Ahura Mazda, the god of light, and Angra Maunyu, the god of all evil.

The Jewish response, found in the Old Testament, is Isaiah 45:7:- I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

As far as my own experience and understanding is concerned, speaking generally, Christianity (particularly in the Protestant Reform - literalist - Tradition) has never actually come to terms with the full implications of this. i.e. That the ultimate Source is ONE, and that that Source has given rise to the opposites - and thus that ALL opposites do not, cannot, "exist" in the same sense as the Source (which is existence/being itself)

I have had to move "east" for greater clarity. With such texts as the Tao te Ching:-

The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of all things.

Therefore:
Free from desire you see the mystery.
Full of desire you see the manifestations.
These two have the same origin but differ in name.
That is the secret,
The secret of secrets,
The gate to all mysteries.

All this is not academic, at least for me. It implies praxis, practice (the attempt to live fully and truly) and not to rest simply in theory, in continuous questions. To be "one" with the Source, and in being "one" with it, to then allow the diversification of the opposites - yet not being "deceived" by them, or seeing them as eternal verities. To "hang loose" just a bit! It implies compassion and empathy. We are all one.

Unfortunately, most of this is dismissed as "mumbo jumbo", for the birds. Each to their own.

 But the birds don't know they have names.
