The trick of The Devil

It's really simple.

It is based on feelings of cowardness and joy in deceit, grows on "perceived" culture and flourishes through organic Machine(s).

It acts as if you are just part of a discourse, a character in a story, just a flesh puppet, to re-enforce someone's grandiose ego and/or need for total submission. But not directly, as this would expose the real power dynamic. It is indirect, sly, and aims at causing you pain and discomfort. That's the juice the devil would like to lick from your face.

The trick is always the same. It takes the same twisted perversion as the one which transmuted the Female body into a representation of Hell in the medieval western world, deeming disgusting and shameful the very act of birth (and, by translation to the vagina herself, it feeds back into patriarchy). By holding accountable only "Mommy" of everything, even of our own chosen mischievous actions against ourself, another and others.

There is no need to try and explain, or to genuinely be interested in a real connection. You will slowly uncover that you were just ridiculed exactly for your human feelings and judged for the sake of hidden derision.

Instead of telling you to go, it will cause you to go.

And it will be your fault, of course.

"You did not want to pay the coin/kill the animal as a sacrifice for the living spirit of the emperor".

The "trick" of the Devil never disappoints you: it is generally always the same. If I were to explain it in a discourse it would be as if someone would address you speaking normally, right?

And then mention a friend of them, I dunno, let's call them Sally or John.

They will be speaking to you about Sally or John. They will tell you what they do, what they are, all random stuff. You will converse with them about this friend, express your opinions and other normal (I would like to call them human) things. Eventually, though, your interlocutor will stop to address Sally or John in the conversation: magic(k)ally, the "Sally" or "John" names will disappear, and the noun "you" will take their place. So, you are "becoming", in the hermeneutics of the dialogue, "Sally or John".

Depending on what they want from you, you will be "trapped" in an ambiguous discourse which will lead you to give away your free will. You will be "disempowered".

Usually, at this point, after the transfer of identification, a sort of rationality empasse happens, and nothing will make sense anymore to you. Confusion is achieved.

If you are not "awaken", it will be easy to slip through it and you might realize it later on, when the conversation is over: "But... Wait a second!?! I am not John or Sally!!". Or "how did we start speaking about his depression and ended up speaking about covid19 conspiracy theories in which I was the one guilty of something?". Or (and this is a real sentence I said to the Pluto/Sun I had to deal with - and I do not play the trick of the Devil, despite what you may think): "how come we started about the harassment of an employee and ended with you asking me "what do you want (in exchange of my silence?)".

Yes. Corruption is part of the trick of the Devil. Whistleblowers are their most favoured targets, because of the impossibility of being accountable for actions or omissions.

I have read also a couple of books which are written this way, and I am pretty sure there are studies about it from a narrative perspective.

Someone might simply just call it manipulation.

There is no place for purity in the trick of the devil.

You will be fooled by the Devil. You will discover you were just part of a silly and deceitful game. But if you have been through it sufficient times and listened, you will spot it right at the start, and you can choose. Be still a caracther in someone's game (it might be fun: your truth might involve a pinch of perversion too) or simply leave through disguise or trick. You can surely instead just be yourself as an authentic being: that will not change anything at all for the Devil. Being authentic is the best way to expose his game, and the Devil really hates authenticity!

Of course you will be persecuted, tortured and killed (beheaded), which to those who are willing to listen, would mean troubled with your health, etheric, physical, emotional bodies. As long as it is your choice, you'll be alright. It gets annoying only when too many others are engaging in this torture, as it gets overwhelming.

The ones who play the trick of the Devil (a real "Devil" with name and surname) and whom I met in person a few decades ago, also used other techniques and of course harvested sexual energy and money. Like the "classic" image of the Devil. Those are the worst, because they are *actually* initiated, so their magical actions are the "real" stuff, and you will feel it through all your bodies, physical included (not just spiritual, mental and emotional or etheric).

But in general, most of those who are versed in the "trick of the Devil" are just uninitiated narcissists, still stuck in the world of the Mothers.

The last Pluto/Sun I referred to above was very explicit: he told me he was "a boyfriend to his girlfriend, a good student for his teacher, a son to his father, and so on", and each day he shifted through all those characters according to the context, with his exploitation purposes in mind. No wonder his whole system was in deep distress: the energy to keep such a perverse machine going must be very demanding. Thus the need of ego-supply.

The unspoken question then was - who are you now, speaking to me?

The narcissist side of the trick of the devil hides a total void of identity (lost among a thousand masks) and an "horror vacui", which ultimately resides in the inability to connect with their heart.

If Pluto underlies the power dynamic aspect of manipulation, Saturn stresses the lack of love and empathy. Ultimately, the Saturn perverse soul will laugh at your feelings: those who are capable of affection, love and dedication to another (all very "feminine" traits) to them reflect the highest self-betrayal: to show love, in their thinking, is to be weak, not independent, not self-sufficient. Since lack and scarcity are the basic concepts which inform their life, something unconditional as love has no place in it. Both seem to refer to patriarchy, at the end, but Saturn highlights the materialistic side, thus the capitalist facet of patriarchy: "exploit at all costs". No subjects: only objects.

To end (but will surely develop this more thoroughly), I have to say that the cultural side of this "trick of the devil" is based on the lack of male initiation at a mass level, which hinders the "masculine" side of humanity to detach from the world of "the mothers" and thus to be enabled to engage with the "feminine" in a healthy way. This is true since the Deluge, so no guilt imposed on those who act like this. Although it is ultimately the Fathers' and the Warrior Goddess' task to perform the initiation at the passing of age, it would be better we could all be aware of the spiritual problem we are all facing.
