Demon est Deus inversus (Lat.). A Kabbalistic axiom ; lit., "the devil is
god reversed"; which means that there is neither evil nor good, but that the
forces which create the one create the other, according to the nature of the
materials they find to work upon.
-- Theosophical Glossary, H. P. Blavatsky
This symbolical sentence, in its many-sided forms, is certainly most
dangerous and iconoclastic in the face of all the dualistic later
religions - or rather theologies - and especially so in the light of
Christianity. Yet it is neither just nor correct to say that it is
Christianity which has conceived and brought forth Satan. As an "adversary,"
the opposing Power required by the equilibrium and harmony of things in
Nature -- like Shadow to throw off still brighter the Light, like Night to
bring into greater relief the Day, and like cold to make one appreciate the
more the comfort of heat -- SATAN has ever existed. Homogeneity is one and
indivisible. But if the homogeneous One and Absolute is no mere figure of
speech, and if heterogeneity in its dualistic aspect, is its offspring - its
bifurcous shadow or reflection - then even that divine Homogeneity must
contain in itself the essence of both good and evil. If "God" is Absolute,
Infinite, and the Universal Root of all and everything in Nature and its
universe, whence comes Evil or D'Evil if not from the same "Golden Womb" of
the absolute? Thus we are forced either to accept the emanation of good and
evil, of Agathodaemon and Kakodaemon as offshoots from the same trunk of the
Tree of Being, or to resign ourselves to the absurdity of believing in two
eternal Absolutes!
