Seems to me using the word satan in this manner implies a "being" and not a mindset of man. It's confusing.
Personally, I believe even less in Satan than I do God....
I'd say your Master needs to come up with another name for the dark side of man's conscious. Using "Satan" to describe our less enlightened side is confusing and points to Christianity's great nemesis.How can you believe less in your 'mind'? It is the mind which is controlling us, until we learn how to control it! My Master says that the mind can be a very useful servant, but it is a terrible master.
Peace & Love

What I don't understand is how you can emphasize personal revelation and yet be so dependent on what some Master tells you.
See with your own eyes, and not with the eyes of another.
My Master actually tells me nothing, other than to meditate, and thus experience what He has already REVEALED within me. It is the inner experience of Light which is now my Teacher, and my Master now acts as my guide and source of Grace and inspiration.
In other words, you are dependent on him.
Hey, that's your business, not mine. But let's not pretend otherwise.
You criticize others for depending on a book or some history or tradition, and claim you depend on nothing.
Oh...except your Master.
Like I said in another post, you demand of others things you do not practice for yourself.
Make your own choices as you will. I have no complaint about them and am not telling you what you must do.
If only you were able to return the courtesy.
You are talking absolute nonsense again. I depend on God, and on God's Messenger, and I have never pretended anything different! I do not rely on books or intellectual knowledge (e.g. theology, traditions, beliefs, etc.) as I have always made VERY VERY clear.
So what is it that you are trying so desperately hard to prove? What is it that you do not understand?
Peace & Love
... with virtually every utterance.I do not rely on books or intellectual knowledge ... as I have always made VERY VERY clear.
This whole one truth crusade is getting old. Let people live THEIR lives.
It sounds like you are advocating compromise, the great tool of politicians and satan. Is that the way Jesus and all the other Masters worked? Or was Truth uppermost in the endeavours? Did not Jesus say that one would be hated and despised in this world for following the Truth? The only kind of peace you seem to understand is the flimsy paper peace signed by heads of state - which always disintegrates before the ink has dried. I am talking about rooting out the source of the hatred and misunderstanding, not about whitewashing it over. Until all people of this world understand Spiritual Truth and the real purpose of life on Earth, there cannot possibly be real lasting Peace. Peace can only be found within oneself, and until we all discover that, there will simply be no Peace on Earth.

Hmmm. Ben, one of the first things I learnt on my Spiritual journey was to leave
others alone. This meant, no criticism, no judgements, no interference, no looking down on them as if they were in some way inferior. In fact the rule was to Love them exactly as they are. This is very hard, but practise, practise, practise and then practise some more. When I could stand and look out at the teeming mass of humanity and say "I love each and every one of you just as you are" Then Heaven opened and the Beloved showed me just exactly who it was I had been loving.
Did Jesus teach his Apostles / disciples to keep quiet and leave everyone alone? Not to criticize or rebuke if they saw error? Why did Jesus rebuke so many and even interfere, violently, with the moneychangers in the Temple?
Spiritual Love has no connection with liking people. Jesus Loved all, but hated their evil ways, and was very open and verbal about what he thought of them.
Peace & Love
BTW. I am curious about your religion "Jayism", what is it exactly?
