The devil already won

Here's the thing: The ego is the demon. The voice in yourself is the demon. We're already lost. As we left the garden of eden, we were lost. It's our great sin to have forgotten this. It is our great virtue to have forgotten this. Because it is forgotten, we can imagine a world outside the reign of the demon. It is devilishly clever of the devil, hiding the fact that he already won. And he has.

But in his victory lies his defeat. His victory is his defeat. He will maintain and hold us all in this lesser realm for as long as we let him. And once all of us have left him, he will face eternal loneliness in this lowly worldly existence.

Your world, our world, is ruled by the devil. This thing that we love, is the Devils seductive grace. And make no mistake, it is a grace, how else would we love it so. But it's a smaller grace, and if this is enough for you, take it, enjoy it. One day you too will feel the longing for a higher grace. And if you don't, don't worry, the devil will bestow on you the graces and vices that you think you need. As much of it as you need to stay here.

But in me, in you, and in everyone else, is the spark of god, that knows there is so much more. Therefore the devil will not win. He can not. Look into yourself and you will know it. But it's ok to let him win, till you're ready to reach for higher fruits. God doesn't expect you to defeat the devil. He already did that.

And the devil too know that he has lost, but he will ride each and everyone of us for as long as we can bear it. He is already banished. He will stay behind in this existence and seduce all new sapiens, feeding on their greed, their lust, their needs. Because he can not leave this realm, this is his prison. And he is our prison.

But the higher grace is right here, as soon as you want it, it will grace you. But there will be a painful period of birth, where you're trapped between this world and the next. And it's not in the afterlife. This, our lives, is the afterlife. This, our world, is the hell that the devil tells us wont come before we die. It's already here. And we're all seduced into this hell. We see crude imitations of eternal bliss, and we celebrate it. We feel coarse versions of the finest emotions and we rejoice in it. We hear pop-songs and it reminds us of the eternal symphonies of heaven.

The victory of the devil came about when he severed our link with god, and now he can bestow on us, in finite small amounts, the infinite grace of god. And god sits relaxed in his garden, Giving graciously this world to the devil and his children. Children that are really Gods children. Because God knows, everyone of us, sooner or later, will realize that we are living for scraps. That we will realize there is a bigger price, a bigger existence, a bigger life.

Gods biggest grace to us is his infinite patience with us. He will wait, because he knows we will return too him. You will too. Sooner or later. But if you prefer later, that's ok, but you will reach a point where you'll prefer more than this. More than this crappy worldly life.

You will suffer as long as you don't understand that you're living in suffering. When you realize it, you will enter the middle-kingdom, where reality can be formed by you, but the reality you form, is devilish. You will suffer even more. You will hurt. But birth is like that. Prison break is like that. It will pass. And you will pass into a higher reality. As soon as you're ready.

Are you ready? I'm not, but I'm really trying to be.
