The angel was never a creature with wings.
The wings were a symbol—elevation above the ground, above impulse, above reaction.
Higher thought. Higher mind.
The devil was never a monster beneath the earth.
It was portrayed as ground-bound for a reason.
Lower thought. Instinct. Appetite. Gravity of the mind.
When you hesitate between discipline and indulgence,
when one voice urges restraint and another whispers justification,
you are witnessing the oldest parable ever told.
Not God versus a devil.
But higher mind versus lower mind.
The ancient stories were never about an external war.They were psychological maps.
Teaching you that the battlefield is internal.
The war is not in heaven or hell.
It is in your awareness.
The universe you experience exists only through the mind.
Without perception, there is no world.
Without awareness, there is no struggle.
Victory does not come from choosing sides within the mind.
It comes when you realize you are not the thoughts at all.
