They have a fundamental misunderstanding of power, of hierarchy and of the reason why people act submissively with each other.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">They think it\u2019s tyranny, fear and power-dominance dynamics, because they are unable to understand anything else. That\u2019s what makes them similar to Satan. He was like that, and he trained them to be in his image.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Satan would think it\u2019s pathetic when a God would submit himself to another God instead of, I don\u2019t know, making his own Universe in which they\u2019re the only God, the way he did. That\u2019s because he doesn\u2019t get it, and he doesn\u2019t get it because he\u2019s fundamentally fucked up as a person. You see, I did write about it in the book, when Kay explains how she manages her omnipotence while retaining sanity. She observes her elders, and she sees how they think and feel, and the way energies move through their souls fills her with awe, and the only thing she cares about is to make them happy with her, and proud of her. Nothing else matters. Sure, she can stop or reverse time, or create another universe, or redecorate the original one, with a flick of her finger. She\u2019s so smart, she makes the smartest people who ever lived tremble in awe of her. She doesn\u2019t worship her elders because they are more powerful and they could theoretically punish her or whatever. It\u2019s more in the order of a young physicist being in awe of Niels Bohr or Albert Einstein. It\u2019s in the order of a man being in awe of an incredibly beautiful, smart and good woman. It\u2019s not because he\u2019s afraid of what she will do to him if he does something wrong \u2013 it\u2019s the wish to make such a person have a good opinion of him. It\u2019s being faced with a standard of goodness, greatness, kindness, virtue and wisdom that is so high, that the only thing you ever want to do is things that would make that person have a good opinion of you and love you. That\u2019s what makes Gods and Angels shake with stage fright. That\u2019s what creates the heavenly hierarchy. That\u2019s what motivates service and kindness. That\u2019s what makes them do hard things in order to prove themselves. It\u2019s not fear of punishment, or desire to suck up to the person in power, the way Satan and his ass-lickers would imagine it. No, the motivation is more akin to that of a woman talking to her crush, and being so jittery that she\u2019s half-mute, half losing her shit. When you\u2019re in the presence of someone who\u2019s so awesome that the only thing you ever want is be in their presence and just feel that immense Something, and that person is always kind, deeply understanding and deeply respectful of you, that inspires loyalty and devotion that are simply beyond anything you can theoretically understand unless you experienced it yourself, and unless you are virtuous enough to feel it. That\u2019s why there are Persons of God who are powerful enough to make or transform worlds with a movement of their will, and yet they tremble in the presence of their Elders. Sure, it\u2019s about power, if you understand that love is power, virtue is power, wisdom is power and kindness is power, and that power is what motivates, inspires, gives you a goal even when you\u2019re omnipotent. It\u2019s because the point of being a God isn\u2019t omnipotence, it\u2019s holiness, and holiness is something completely and utterly beyond Satan\u2019s comprehension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I see a recurring theme with the Satanists \u2013 both the explicit and the implicit kind.
