Jeremy Brown - The Testimony of Satan

In the supposed Eastern religions most look away from outward places and actions of external worship… not to say they do not have their temples and rituals such as in Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Shinto or Taoism… but prayer alone is not as powerful in the physical world as it is in the world within… The world within is better reached and explored through dhyana or meditation… Scripture and study are not as strong as living the word imbedded or rather innate to you… Gautama Siddhartha… the Buddha… one who also battled me in his time, similar to the Christ, felt God was not God in the sense of something outside of you, but an element of you… heretical among ideologies of the East and the West to claim either there is no God or man is God…. But Buddha was not so simple… He merely had the capacity to be enlightened and felt one was brought closer to the Creative Force which in itself lies within you…. which is no different from the idea of the Holy Spirit — yet easier to reach through Eastern meditation than Western prayer…

In Hinduism I battle to break the connection many find within the trinity of Brahma (the creator similar to the Father), Vishu (the Preserver) with avatars of Krishna (who is Christ-like) and Rama, and Shiva (the destroyer and who recreates… nothing similar in Western religion) and all of their manifestations… Shinto or “The Way of the Gods” also known as the “Spirit of the Tao” worships immortals similar to Hinduism in a number of ways among many gods who essentially are connected to the deceased and the singularity of God. Taoism or “The Way” is strange to most in the East and West for its followers have a place for polarity and accept what is considered good and evil, but evil is based in desire and taking actions that serve the self. Taoists are selfless, deny the ego, and attempt to remove desire in order to be drawn deeper into the Tao or way of the universe… The only evil among Taoists I can entertain is to entice the ego to supersede the altruistic element that man was intended to have… Prayer and meditation place strength against me… yet many of you fail to do this, thus I prevail, nevertheless…

There is an importance your kind places on the concept of believing. The key is that the living understand to existence is belief… and belief lies in the mind. The spirit knows; it is eternal. It is neither living nor dead. It exists beyond belief for it like God simply is. Your beliefs are based on a system of integrated points of logic and illogic that create your rather childlike perceptions and misconceptions of the world beyond the senses… the real world. I use confusion and means of the utmost perversion to twist and deform your innate sensibilities of good and evil. This is where you go from resisting me, to listening to me, to heeding me as a willing slave, rooted in the sense of isolation from God… and then feel a sense of God’s absence. Fact is God like the sun is always shining… I am merely the clouds that make you believe He has abandoned you or rather I take your focus off of Him enough for you to focus on me and my manifestations by default. Once you are a willing slave that means you are no longer captive, you merely have forfeited control of yourself to me. That is the difference your kind does not seem to understand. I do not seize control over most… except in extreme instances to use them for a purpose to place fear and terror in the hearts of others. It is when you are worn and weak, and simply find giving in and giving up as a relief from the battles I engender within you, you become mine.

Often times, my powers are so convincing and subtle that many of you think there has been no change in you and your pride or false sense of superiority in yourself becomes a buffer between your heart and mind. This buffer doesn’t allow for you to probe yourself through introspection and turn over negative aspects of yourself to further investigate, study, or grow knowledgeable. This buffer is a block that is impermeable once it sets in, and many of you feel self-righteousness which leads to sins known and unknown that you justify, rationalize, or simply ignore — feeling that you can do no wrong.

Then there are those among you who feel these changes are part of some form of growth toward a goal you may or may not attain, but you are somehow on the path to bettering yourselves. The fact is the goal itself you may seek to attain may be good but the path leads you into my grasps covertly — unbeknownst to you. For instance, you may seek to better yourself in areas of strength and physical fitness, but your focus may dull your mental capabilities and emotional maturity. You may become shallow, attacking others similar to you when you were not considered as physically attractive by the shallow multitudes you encounter once you attain this hollow goal of beauty. The fact that your focus was not on health and life, but was based on self-worship and adornment by others is a foolish, temporal investment. You simply may have wanted to be associated with such appearances. Thus all who adore men and women simply for how they look wish to covet them or possess their attraction. This is lust and envy all in one… Such subtly leads one from their course of understanding themselves truthfully to simply understanding the distortion I provide of them in which they fail to see their inadequacies and iniquities and except my tutelage, both obvious and hidden. I then have their allegiance, and even when I reveal myself, few are willing to run back to your beloved God.

Even out of the mouths of religious leaders who claim they hate me, many still give me allegiance behind closed doors. Life is not black or white. It is defined by darkness and light…. This is why He separated them… Polarity is necessary. But, when people long solely for the darkness, they long to hide things. They do not want to bring things to light that will burn away; they want to conceal their true faces, hiding their snarls against God, but He knows. He allows all things to lie within the dark or the light or to move within or throughout the shadows… These are the hypocrites I use and prize most in your world. Many of these leaders use the folly of humankind as their platform upon which to lead multitudes of sheep to slaughter in one sense or another, but more so financially, mentally, and spiritually. These sheep see then the folly of humankind solely as my fault, placing the responsibility for their actions against God upon me when I have nothing to do with your freewill. That was given to you by Him, so how can I control it? I can influence it, but never control it. You have to be willing to turn power over to me for me to use you. Thus to blame is to give acclaim which I appreciate like any of your hollow-minded celebrities who love praise, yet they have no ability to make use of such power itself.

Doubt is my greatest weapon against you… I make you focus on the opposite of speaking to God, directly. Your belief system is flawed because you put more faith in the ritual of prayer than in the wisdom of it being a means of divine interaction with God. So, I further confuse you. I howl in your mind like wind separating your ears from the songs of birds who chirped long before you first opened your eyes and who will chirp long after you close them. These birds in your mind cry with the words of God. But, the blasts of wind I exert overpower your ability to hear. So many of you turn aside and stop praying, believing your prayers will never truly be understood or answered. A pray is not a wish… It is a request. Many demand of God, but they can not. It is like a child demanding anything from a true, strong parent. Ha! It is the mistake I made — and like a child I was punished… who knows if I had merely requested — prayed to God for my own realm to rule as His emissary, I would not be speaking to you now about eons of my battles with Him through you… I take prayer and turn the element of request that you are supposed to know is heard and make you question whether it has reached its mark and if it even matters to Him.
