DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

It was in those days, that the gods kept their promises. When approached correctly and after much debate, they will try to fulfill your wishes. But you have to be very careful. You have to follow the correct procedure, the right ritual and even the right date, to satisfy them. And even then, they try to trick you. Why, because they think that you are inferior. A toy, if your lucky, but most of the time you are merely a “possibility” in their world. You cannot depend on their timeframe, so you may be dead, before they return, and you have to be very careful about the contract or deal you make with those other powers. Yes, you have to “sign” a contract. Like Faust dod and Bob Dylan. But they don't care about you at all. Maybe if you are pretty and sexually willing or competent. Otherwise it is just a game to them.

In real time gods and godesses (and other entities) speak through channeling, prophesy or trance rituals. In the old days so called oracles existed. Sacred places, where, mostly women, got into trance through drugs and volcanic gasses, They answered the questions, you put before them (and payed for). But I said, you have to be very careful. Once a Greek king went to the oracle at Delphi in Greece. He wanted to attack a neighbouring city-state and he wanted the Oracle to speak about his chances. Should he go to war?

The answer of the oracle was seemingly straightforward. “If he would wage war, a kingdom would fall”. The king intyerpreted this as being in his favor. So he declared war and lost. A kingdom fell, but it was his own. There are a lot of stories about this phenomenon. Satan (or sometimes Death) starts playing a game about you dying (manouvring you into all kinds of dangerous situations, while knowing that you perceive death as an end to things). You cannot escape death. That is the main theme. A gardener in Persia sees “Death” and knows that he is after him. He borrows a horse and hurries to Isfahan, to escape. He arrives in this beautiful place and meets “Death” again. He is amused and tells him that he didn't expect him there. He drove to his own death. Sometimes you get the opportunity to play chess with the devil or he asks you to challenge his possibilities. If he wins, you loose your soul. An advice: if you ever get in a situation like that, remember this.

Ask the devil if he is almighty and if he always knows where he is. Being eager to please, he will says YES. Then ask him to get lost.
