The word “I”, as the spirit of actuality, emerges with its radiant enlightenment—a force of clarity and individuality that cuts through chaos and ignorance. It does not merely illuminate; it transforms. When “I” arises, it strikes Satan, the spirit of the animal, with its light. Satan, embodying primal instinct and unenlightened existence, is bound by the awakening force of actuality.
As the spirit of actuality, the word “I” asserts itself as a higher consciousness, wrapping its light around the conscious inner self. The animal spirit, Satan, becomes subdued, tethered within the self’s awareness. It remains part of the human essence, but no longer reigns unchecked. Instead, it serves a new purpose—fuel for transformation, a force to be understood, integrated, and transcended.
Bound within the conscious self, the animal spirit is neither annihilated nor condemned. The everlasting fire of hell—the primal force within—continues to burn, not as a destructive force but as an agent of change. Fire does not destroy; it transforms everything it touches. Similarly, the animal spirit, touched by the light of “I,” evolves. It becomes part of the duality that defines existence, serving to remind the conscious self of its connection to the primal and the physical.
This dynamic interplay between actuality and instinct, between the spirit of “I” and Satan, is a reflection of the human journey. The enlightenment brought by “I” reshapes the inner landscape, elevating the self toward understanding and clarity while acknowledging the vital role of primal forces. Heaven and hell, enlightenment and instinct, coexist within the self, inseparable and interdependent.
In the end, it is the spirit of actuality that guides the transformation, leading the conscious inner self toward harmony—a state where the animal within us, bound yet present, serves as a reminder of what we are and what we can become. It is this balance, this intertwining of forces, that makes the human spirit both powerful and profound.
