Law of One or Satan's Harvest?

Because it allows them to access more intelligent infinity indirectly which affords them more power over reality.

That kind of makes it sound like power over reality is a zero-sum game.

It doesn't have to be, does it?

I think they attempt to manipulate and enslave and cause fear and suffering, because that is the end, not the means.

From what I understand, these types of beings are meant to cover such dark aspects of the Creator.

We might think that they're evil, messed up, need healing or whatever. But perhaps they're simply doing exactly what they're destined to do.

Dirty job, someone has to do it. It wouldn't be infinity otherwise, so it is.

Personally I'm not worried about the particular created beings who are suffering or enslaving nearly as much as the Creator who spawns and sustains such entities in the first place.

We're supposed to believe it's all for a good cause and just get on with it, right? It's all in the name of love, so that makes it okay.

Does it ever end? Perhaps it does for individual beings, but generally speaking, I don't think it does.

For the sake of my sanity, I'm just assuming the "Creator" doesn't have a choice; that it couldn't stop this even if it wanted to.

Well, based on my understanding, this galaxy, this solar system, etc, is not *directly* manifested from the Creator. Rather Co-Creators are responsible for creating these structures. So my first thing is to suggest is that the beings that form this galaxy are also learning. If you view each planet and star as an individuated being and you see the diversity it kind of pops out that these things are all the products of imperfect beings.

The nature of the Creator is Infinite Being. However, the manifestations of reality are not made directly by that Infinite Being but indirectly by finite beings which are invested with intelligent energy.

So, the key is to realize that WE are also Co-Creators, and WE have the power to imagine and create new realities.

Of course I agree that all entities simply follow their natural impulse. These entities have every much sense of having found their purpose as any other seeker who discovers their path.
