Nugget #11

In previous Nuggets we talked about “equivalence of form” and how our nature is opposed to that. Remember Nuggets #7 and #8 we spoke about the ego?

It is a good idea to make the association between the “equivalence of form”, ego and HaSatan. In our culture we are taught that Satan is an entity, which is opposed to the nature of the Creator, while man is caught in between. We are the battleground according to this myth! We need to choose G-d and live eternally or Satan and be eternally damned for allying with the wrong side. But is this truly the case?

Satan is essentially an opposite of the Creator’s form and purpose. Who does that sound like? It is the “son of man”. It is our nature being described. Thus, we are HaSatan, the adversary. It is not an anti-G-d god that has powers and the ability to cast spells over man. The task is for us to give up that opposing nature and transform it to “equivalence of form.” By doing this, eventually, HaSatan will not exist since no one will be practicing this opposing nature. Our ego will be blessing our Creator rather than itself.

So can we say, we create our own heaven and hell?
