Satan's Diet

Satan's Diet not an entry to sell a new fat-loss, vanity-chasing exercise and nutrition program with a name that conjures up all the hidden desires of man, leading with his most libidinous, for Satan was once Lucifer, the most beautiful angel in every way imaginable, the kind of beauty that is desired by all, that would awaken the most repressed urges of even the holiest of saints past whose predisposition to salacious temptations can be attributed to the common denominator that humanity shares.

At the forefront of humanity's desire for unbridled, immediate self-gratifying wantoness is not so much the exposed flesh that is Satan's diet [1] but more the rawness of man's soul that Satan seeks to devour.  The longer the carnivorous Satan gnaws at man's raw soul, the more heightened man's need is to fill his soul to complete his being.  Whatever man's libidinous desires may be, man hungers for them and he will resort to all kinds of malevolence to usurp the happiness of others so as to have company in misery.

In misery, man's constant hunger spreads from one miserable soul to another, arising from unrequited love and unattained lust, so that each man is incomplete.  His hunger for completeness is the fuel that propels man through life.  This hunger originates from Satan and is also Satan's hunger.  Man believes that this hunger can be cured but he is wrong.

The nature of Satan's hunger is not to seek satiation but to propagate more of itself by infecting every new soul and to grow the void in every infected soul.  Satan diet, is therefore, not to curb an appetite but to expand a void that grows in hunger for more of what can never be satisfied.  That, in essence, is Hell within man soul, and Hell on earth.

Satan's diet is repulsive, as with all that Satan is and does.  The more man chases after the "food" of Satan's Diet to satisfy his hunger, the hungrier he gets.  To be satiated, and even more beautiful that Lucifer once was, man need to fill his soul with Christ, the love Christ showed to all, at His betrayal, during the scourge, when he was humiliated with a crown of thorns and on the cross of Resurrection.


[1] Although Satan does not literally take a bite out of man's flesh as part of Its diet, but one can reasonably assume that Satan desires man's flesh because It is envious of man which was the cause of Lucifer's fall from Heaven and because man's flesh, in particular the flesh of those who have in their bodies the Eucharist, the living body and the purifying blood of Christ, whether having literally eaten the flesh and drunk the blood of Christ or having the flesh and blood of Christ infused into the bodies of those who have not actually eaten the flesh or drunk the blood of Christ (see footnote [5] in the entry entitled The Eucharist  at http://lemomentdepaix.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-eucharist.html).  Satan has a special desire for those whose flesh and blood had been infused with the flesh and blood of Christ because that is the only  way Satan can taste Christ--indirectly.  What envious warrior does not wish to consume his enemy in one way or another?  Satan is no different.  With Christ as Its nemesis, Satan can only taste the perfection Christ through the flesh and blood of man who has the living Christ in him.  Imagine Its envy and fury whenever It does, imagine Its eternal hunger for that perfection that It can never have, imagine Its void that is uncontainable and perpetual, the same kind of void Satan has spread to man so that man has to suffer alongside It. 

The Meaning Of Life - Part 3

The purpose of life is to give an opportunity for an incarnated spirit to grow in its human form before it takes flight.  When life has meaning, the spirit grows in fullness dimensionally and in brightness extra-dimensionally.  The more the being chooses God and goodness over Satan and sin, the more complete the spirit, the more likely the spirit will return to heaven from where it came and the more likely it will be united with God [1].

In human form, we are subject to Satan's temptations just as Jesus Christ was tempted by Satan.  Since Christ was sinless, He overcame them, but the flesh that God created in Adam and Eve and are part of ours is not sinless.  The forbidden apple is part of every person's DNA and the Devil had since showered us with more apples than we can bite into in our lifetimes.  All Satan wants us to do is to feed on his apples of temptation and the more a human feeds on them, the less dimensional and the darker the spirit becomes until it is a shade and when it becomes a shade, it cannot return to heaven but is destined to be part of Satan in Hell, "where sin lasts beyond the end of time" [2].

No one other than Satan is recommending a trip to Hell.  To avoid Hell, one must find meaning in life, meaning that is intangible and priceless and that can be had through all kinds of human interactions, whether insignificant or life-changing, momentary or lasting, but they all must spring from genuineness and simple humility and be abundant in love, the kind of love that is stable and steadfast, that energizes and overflows, a love that cannot be depleted and does not deprive.

In giving meaning to life, rounding out and brightening the spirit, one must first be content and not go through life as a victim and envious of others, as if the whole world owes him/her, for what has been given, flesh, is a gift that can lead the spirit back to heaven to be with God.  Given that to be true, no one on earth should complain about inequality in luck, opportunity, health, wealth, intellect, talent or anything else for that matter and those who remain ungrateful for God's gift of flesh and bitter because of innate inequality have already been mostly owned by Satan and could be destined for Hell.

In other words, even a short, sick and painful life is a gift from God and it can have meaning that will fill and give the incarnated spirit a trip back to heaven to be with God.  Conversely, a long and comfortable life replete with fortune, fame and power may not have any meaning at all if they have their origins in Satan's apples, but the best of life's luxuries do not necessarily have to come from Hell, for God can also lavish gifts on those with humility, love and faith in Him. [3]  So seeing people who are rich, attractive, intelligent, talented and so on is like seeing a little of what God is like and that is to be celebrated.  I truly wish I were surrounded by people like that, people whom God have chosen to pamper, not ingrates who hate God's gift of incarnation, ingrates that have turned into shades that can no longer emnate light but exist powerfully under Satan.




[1] The only way a spirit can return to God, its Creator, and be forever a part God is through the human realm.  Therefore a spirit that had once existed in the flesh is different from a spirit that never experienced flesh.  Angels never had flesh and they can never become a part of God.  That is not to say that angels are necessarily subordinated to a fully dimensioned spirit, they just exist in a separate realm and equally content unless they join the fallen ones.

Searching For And Seeing Christ

Searhing for Christ is a spiritual journey that appeal to those who are intrepid and strong enough to engage in constant face to face epic battles with Evil because Evil persists and never dies.  Camouflaged in goodness, Evil has to be recognized for what it is, and it is many, many things and this writing addresses only self-deceit, defined as intellectual dishonesty, a wilful unwillingness to see and accept the Truth by rationalizing and lying to oneself.  To be able to find Christ is to be able to distinguish without equivocation what is true and feigned goodness within oneself, just as a mirror shows what one looks like on the outside, a person's ultimate conscience shows what is truly inside.  This process is far more difficult than in practice than in theory because the presence of Christ is interwoven intricately with the presence of Satan and sorting out Evil in order to cast it aside is a battle.  Before one is over another has already begun and there are those that are on-going.  Remember, Satan exists and does not rest.

Does that mean one would never find Christ since there are simultaneous battlefronts to attend to always? A yes answer would mean total discouragement but I think the answer does not have to be a yes although it can be.  I believe that the ability to find Christ is not in how many battles we fight, how much time we spend fighting them, how many we had won or lost (even though all of that is important too) but in the approach we take in fighting Evil. To fight Evil sucessfully, one must be armed with a resolute determination, a clean conscience, deep and abiding faith in God, constant and sincere prayers and a platform on which to stand up to Satan that was not built on greed for power, fame, control and/or wealth that had been achieved by virtually any means neessary in an attempt to satisfy one's insatiable selfish and worthless worldly wishes but on one's unmitigated love for and unreserved desire to be with God.

After accomplishing all that, I believe one would be able to recognize Christ in the simple beauty of Goodness in contrast to an unmasked Satan standing naked in all of its ugliness.

Having searhed for and recognized Christ, and having the ability to distinguish Him clearly from Satan, it does not follow that Christ can be seen.  Seeing Christ is a very different matter.  Christ can only be seen in a vision and all such visions are gifts from God.  I do not know the formula for Christ to appear in a vision but I can confidently say that a part of that formulation requires one to have true humility, absolute poverty of spirit, unyielding faith in and enduring love for God.
