the DEVIL

Maybe there is a devil who came alive because of a belief-system that replaced an individual's recognition of the dark and light aspects of self within the mystery of his/her soul. This discovery, perhaps, relieved one of the introspective nature the previous mode introduced to living abundantly, balanced, and in the moment. I wonder, sometimes, if the creation of the devil was an introduction designed to decrease the number of balanced people, and herd large numbers of huddled worshippers into churches, and mosques, and synagogues with shepherd dogs keeping fears alive! ~Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories
