are the cunning of weak and tame minds which have to resist energy,

classes of men are always earth,& they should be enemies: whoever
tries to reconcile seeks to destroy existence. Religion is an
endeavour to the two. Note: Jesus Christ did not wish to unite,
but to seperate them, as in the parable of sheep and goats!& He 'I
came not to peace, but a sword. ' Messiah or Satan or tempter was
formerly thought to be one of the who are our energies.
