The Autobiography of Satan: Authorized Edition
William A. Glasser
- This
- is
- the
- story
- of
- Satan's
- many
- struggles,
- across
- the
- history
- of
- Human
- existence,
- to
- unshackle
- the
- Human
- mind,
- and
- open
- the
- gates
- to
- forbidden
- knowledge.From
- the
- moment
- of
- his
- first
- emergence
- as
- a
- single
- spark
- in
- the
- dimness
- of
- prehistory,
- to
- the
- more
- enlightening
- force
- into
- which
- he
- evolves
- across
- the
- full
- span
- of
- human
- existence,
- Satan,
- as
- he
- now
- clearly
- illustrates,
- has
- been
- urging
- human
- beings
- to
- open
- their
- eyes
- to
- the
- world
- around
- them,
- and
- to
- continue
- seeking,
- with
- unfettered
- minds,
- for
- ultimate
- answers,
- yet
- to
- be
- found.
- To
- do
- so
- he
- must
- struggle
- against
- the
- persistent
- attempts
- to
- stifle
- that
- urge
- by
- the
- "spoon
- feeders,"
- as
- he
- calls
- them,
- individuals
- who
- have
- insisted,
- within
- every
- age,
- and
- often
- with
- a
- bloody
- fist,
- that
- they,
- and
- they
- alone,
- are
- the
- possessors
- of
- the
- only
- beliefs
- that
- every
- human
- being
- should
- accept
- and
- live
- by,
- without
- question.
- As
- Satan
- traces
- the
- history
- of
- their
- many
- attempts
- to
- stop
- human
- beings
- from
- thinking
- for
- themselves,
- he
- also
- takes
- his
- readers
- on
- a
- search
- for
- the
- ultimate
- source
- of
- all
- evil
- in
- this
- world.
- Readers
- will
- obviously
- enter
- the
- book
- with
- the
- standard
- concept
- of
- Satan
- as
- a
- supernatural
- figure
- of
- evil.
- They
- will
- leave
- the
- book,
- however,
- with
- a
- better
- understanding
- of
- how
- such
- mind-twisting
- concepts
- have
- been
- used
- to
- keep
- people
- away
- from
- the
- "forbidden"
- knowledge
- that
- lies
- beyond
- the
- borders
- of
- entrenched beliefs.
