The below is my musing on: Satanic sayings ('Satanic verses'): Satan is not the one which would say about who he is (or which it is) as 'I am (someone)', but instead will say in an enticing, tempting and reassuring voice: (1) you are a spirit being (originally, even now in a physical body). (2) you can be like a god, if you eat the fruit of knowledge of right and wrong, that is to have power of deciding right and wrong apart from the God. (3) you can sway power with everything you think of - including love, belief, rituals as well as tangible material things. (4) you live to preserve yourself for your pleasure (5) you need power to be on your own - power which has to be sucked from others. power which you can acquire from Cosmos by meditation, enlightenment, spiritualism (same root as spiritism).
