Thanks for your reply & other postings. I will be away for my daughter's wedding. But in regard to Lucfier or satan, I would like you to look into
Paradise Lost by JOHN Milton (Books on Tape)I think it shows your ponit on his ego. It's about his feelings after his fall. You do not have to do the whole book, but I yhink you will like what he had to say. "Mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven."

I also like The Inferno of Dante about an imaginary journey in hell.

NOTE: Your post is just wonderful and great: Your way of writing clear and to the point. Keep up the good work of expressiong your thoughts and ideas.

"I believe that Satan is the path of sin. That's really all."

On this I agree;-But 'In the path of sin, I would say.

"The sharpened sense of ego. Satan is used to describe people, the adversary, the enemy of God. And Satan changes according to the ages. Satan is in effect yourself. It is your own sharpened sense of ego that leaves us seperated from God. However-," {the ego must find a balance.}

We all indeed change according to our ages and stages, as I once pointed out in one of my post. And I am even now trying to deal with it.

I hope to be back next week. So by 4 now.
