BECOMING IBLĪS ŠAYTĀN
Æ0N 0f Iblīs
Part One
Of all the arguments in favor of the physical (theistic) existence of Satan/Set (Prince of Darkness), Dr. Michael A. Aquino's is one of the more logical and stable theories. Man is superior to all other animals, our higher intellect appears to be the result of something that interfered with our natural evolution. That 'something' is hypothesized by Dr. Aquino to be an Isolate Intelligence known as the Prince of Darkness and its Gift the Black Flame.
"We know that there is evidence for the existence of an intelligent entity distinct from the objective universe and thus in incidental, if not deliberate conflict with its laws. For whatever its reasons, it has instilled in humanity the potential to enjoy the same external perspective, as well as the intelligence to do so with deliberate, creative purpose." - Dr. Aquino
I am in agreement that Man's unusual evolution appears to be 'introduced' to us by an external force separate from the confines of the objective universe. However, from our long history of philosophical and psychological thought, we have been confronted by a plethora of ideas from various cultures that point toward Man and a Higher Self. I prefer to use the term Greater Self in contrast to our lesser self.
There is no definitive rationale to discard the idea that what Occultists refer to as the Prince of Darkness (Satan/Set), what Right Hand Path adherents refer to as God, The All, The Absolute, etc. is none other than Man's Greater Self guiding him through his evolutionary process. The Greater Self is that Isolate Intelligence/Consciousness, but not as One Consciousness whereby we all are a part of. Not a singular intelligence or force that interferes with our evolution, but rather our own, direct, Greater Consciousness (intellect/psyche/soul) guiding each of us in the most perfect direction that would enable us to attain our greatest potential. This Isolate Consciousness is our Platonic First Form, the absolute, full potential, and perfect You.
