The Devil - A Dark Illumination


Listen Later

In this episode we explore the archetype of the Devil from different perspectives such as the mind, body and desires, symbolism and the duality of shadow and light.

Key Takeaways:

  • the image of the Devil and what it stands for
  • the symbolism behind the Devil
  • how to break free from the chains of illusion, from guilt and shame
  • the potential of being connected to the body
  • reclaiming authentic pleasure and desire
  • the Devil as the unsung hero of Eden
  • the shadow aspect of God
  • trinitarian polarity of Lucifer - Ahirman - Christ
  • Devil as the card 15 in the Major Arcana of Tarot
  • few contemplations on the energy of the Devil

Quotes:

  • "Desire is the basis of our evolution. Without desire, there is no growth, there's no expansion."
  • "The Devil is this invitation for inquiry, to check in with ourselves and see where can I choose more love and where can I let go of the shame and guilt that keeps me stuck in these patterns?"
  • "The Devil brings the possibility of choice, but then asks us in the sea of all possibilities, what do we choose to do?"

Ultimately, the Devil offers the possibility of choice and invites us to choose love and break free from limiting beliefs. I am aware that some will feel triggered but I invite you to just open your heart and see what resonates with you and contemplate your own understanding of the Devil and its significance.

Much love.
