The literal Satan? No. Satan is the "devil", the anthropomorphized "source of evil" (d-evil). Evil and good are externalized as the characters of the "Devil"/"Satan" and "God". Just as there is no literal "evil" in and of itself, there is no "Satan" in and of itself. Evil and Satan are symbols that reference expressions of our consciousness and what they create, generate or manifest into the world.
Satan is the oppositional and adversarial force within us, as I will explain. But first some understanding on why this matters and what is there to be opposed.
Consciousness can increase in awareness of various truths about reality, existence, or the universe. Quality truths that can improve the quality and condition of our lives is more valuable for its utility. Moral truth is of the utmost utility for improving the quality and condition of our lives through reciprocal cooperation to optimize survival, no matter what the technological condition is.
This increase of awareness is an expansion of consciousness. Truth cared for, sought after, and continually attained will produce greater alignment with how reality is and how we can make our world and way of life better. This expansion of consciousness towards greater quality knowledge and ways of living can be looked at as the expansive force of love, contrasted to the constrictive force of fear. Love not as an emotion, but as the force of care for truth that expands and embraces more of accepting what currently 'is' -- both the beauty and horror, the right and wrong, in one sense -- along with what could or 'ought' to be -- the better, truer, higher and realer ways of living that we can create.
Learning what is true from false is required to form non-contradictory understanding. Non-contradiction with reality as we expand our awareness is also a unity or harmony with reality as we don't deny things as they are, or the wrong that exists that should not be and can be made better through our actions in alignment with principles of moral truth. Being in opposition to the truths in reality can have consequences, as we are in conflict and disequilibrium between our perception of reality and what actually is there.
We can also be non-contradictory and united within our expressions of consciousness, so that we think, feel and act in unison, not in conflict or opposition. What we do -- our actions and behaviors -- is an external expression of consciousness from our internal expressions within -- the "heart" (emotions) and "mind" (thoughts) of consciousness.and
When we know what's right (think) and care to do what's right (feel), but instead act in opposition against that, then we are not unified within but in internal conflict. This puts us in disharmony with our thoughts, emotions and actions. Sometimes that cognitive dissonance results is negotiating with reality, where instead of aligning our perceptions with reality, we create a false perception of reality so that we believe the current reality is whatever we want to believe it to be (conformity, rosy-colored glasses)
This word means adversary, one who opposes, an opponent, and also the “arch enemy of good” and therefore “God”, ourselves -- our higher order consciousness capacity to seek and actualize greater good, right and truth into our lives.
There is no one "out there" controlling our destinies, fates, fortunes or futures. We are the ones, collectively in the aggregate, that create the overall conditions on this planet. Learning how to learn and learning how to think are important to get people to not believe in false or unverified things that are drives for their actions in life. Bad (falsity) or low quality (entertainment) information siphons our time and attention and prevents us from expanding our awareness of greater quality information that can affect a positive change for the better.
This is how there is evil in the world, because it's being created consciously, unconsciously, or being supported. When there is a lack of self-control towards moral alignment in a society, there is more external control applied towards others in the form of a centralized authority. Even if we aren't doing wrong consciously, we may be doing it unconsciously without knowing it, or may be supporting it.
Much of our way of life supports the wrongdoings of a centralized authority, like taxation and other extortions. We are funding illegitimate wars and supporting other policies like the "war on drugs" sham. The more aware we become, the more realize there is a lot of work to do for us to truly be united in our way or life, in our ability to actualize greater truth, good, right and morality into the world.
