What is Satanic and "of the Devil" is Imagining Vaingloriously--Selfishly, NOT in the Character of the Father
What is Devilish is using the power of imagination for shallow, selfish purposes. A person of some imaginal talent could be using his or her imagination to heal, love and provide; but instead just shows off, entertains people, and puffs him or herself up.
I believe that Exodus chapter three parallels Genesis chapter three, and that Moses' experience with the burning bush is Adam's experience with the Glorious Being that is the Serpent, the ancient symbol for Wisdom--Christ.
It is a curious encounter. The topic is the connection between abundance (jethro/eve) and imagination (tree in the midst of the garden/ashur). In Exodus, God says that his nature is "Ahiyeh Ashur Hiyeh." It is my opinion that Ashur means (by) the imagination: "I come by imagination his becoming." "His becoming" could refer to the acquisition of things desired--man's expansion, the word 'Cain' in Hebrew.
In Genesis, Adam sees that the tree is good for all the things he desired (the female aspect in scripture represents desire for a thing, hence the conversation is through Eve). But notice that Moses (Adam) is an "ignoranced" man. That is, he was incapable of perceiving the true nature of the Father in Christ. "When it works," Neville Goddard said of imagination and God, "you have found him." Moses discovered that it works, but he couldn't see all of the Father in Christ, the power that is imagination.
The shallow and selfish desire for things, for jethro and cain, corrupts our perception of God. We do not see the loving and providing, out-flowing nature and character of God. Our character is truncated, so Christ in us must go upon his belly and eat dust all the days of his ignorant life--until we rise from this grave.
"Adam confronted Christ for what imagining could provide to HIM. 'I want Cain for myself--forget Abel (transitoriness), the stuff I would give away to others.' It is the cheap focus here, the character of the earth/Egypt, that is Satanic. Jesus is not like this. It is the same imagination, but of another character.
"The 'fall' of man is his discovering God, the power of imagination, from its working . . . in his ignorance. He misses the NATURE of God in its working, and goes around instead showing off and taking care of himself. He is 'just a low-down snake.' But he knows that it works, and his conscience will be used to straighten him out."
