A Letter to Neale - Was Jesus talking to Lucifer?
Dear Neale...CWG teaches there is no such entity as the Devil. We have read and heard about Jesus the Christ going into the desert for fasting, meditation, and prayer for 40 days & nights. Supposedly, bad ol' Lucifer tempted Jesus three times and the last request from Lucifer was for Jesus to bow to him so Jesus may own the world/universe. Who was Jesus Christ speaking to if the devil doesn't exist?
I am confused. I appreciate your time with response. Blessings, Angelica.
Neale Responds
Angelica, the story is an allegory. Jesus was "speaking to" his own mind, his own temptations, his own inner demons...the part of him that saw that he could easily "own" the world (have his way as a major public figure of his time) if he simply would abandon his Larger Purpose and succumb to the everyday attractions of physicality by making them his primary focus.
