    from wiki:

    Because he contrived "to make his throne higher than the clouds over the earth and resemble 'My power' on high", Satan-Sataniel was hurled down, with his hosts of angels, and since then he has been flying in the air continually above the abyss

    --------------

    abyss: 1350–1400; earlier abisse, ME abissus < LL abyssus < Gk ábyssos bottomless, equiv. to a- a- 6 + byssós bottom of the sea

    If 'abyss' is actually referring to ' the infinite deep' or is an illusion to the oceans as a "bottomless pit"...is this why we have so many fish icons associated with religions?

    Could it be that the earth itself is actually the Great Abyss?

    Could it be that none of it is real?

    Yah, during my christian phase, shortly after leaving the wt, i also entertained a similar idea, for a while. I kicked around the idea that humans were incarnated demons, that god was using this planet as a rehabilitation ground for them. That the suffering and emotions experienced was a means to rehab them. After several months, i dropped the idea.

    Satanus: "After several months, i dropped the idea. "

    Because you realized you are incorrigible?

    Who is Sataniel? Is that Satan's Latino counterpart?

    Johannes Greber postulated a similar idea in his book Communication with the Spirit World. According to Greber, the spirit he communicated with claimed that humans are incarnate spirit beings who had previously rebelled against God (ie, demons) and are now 'serving their time'.

    Trevor: "claimed that humans are incarnate spirit beings who had previously rebelled against God (ie, demons) and are now 'serving their time'."

    I am still rebelling....does that mean.....I'll be back? Again?

    If you think about the immeasurable size of the universe...the Great Abyss ain't so big

    cameo-d: According to Greber - or rather, the spirit he communicated with - yes, you will be... :)
