Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 The nature of the devil changes with the nature of g-d it seems- resulting in what was originally a snake of deception and temptation to one of a twisted image of Pan. poor Pan, made into the dark side of man- to exempt him from his own nature- but then again- if G-d is a woman then perhaps the devil is too! Mmmmm... then we might be in real trouble ... but sure! As the devil becomes more human- 'neighbourhood watch' every strange male is a potential thier-murderer- child molster- devil - so too the image of G-d becomes remote- more pure- As a 'Born Again' person once said to me: 'Doubt os of the Devil' Mmmm... I wonder who has taken over his mind and soul? But Sure! The world is unfolding as it should. F. > Joe says: > >>In Jung's framework was Saturn/Satan an enemy or a trickster?
