Etymology of Time, Karma and the Devil

Karma and Time are demonised by some New Agers. I think that this demonisation stems from the ruling elite (and their non-human rulers) who don’t want to face their karmic debts. Some occultists view Satan as the good guy whilst God (Jehovah) is the bad guy. Is this because Satan equates with Saturn and karma and time?

The Hebrew name Satan is usually translated as ‘Adversary’ or ‘Opponent’ , but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is bad. For example, a mirror can be regarded as an opponent or opposite, but a mirror is usually truthful, as is karma, which is a cosmic mirror reflecting our true nature to us. The truth can be painful and unwanted, but not ‘evil’, not in the conventional sense of the world ‘evil’.

Etymology (the origins of words and their meaning, spelling, pronunciation) can help yield insights into occult ideas, because old languages were developed by the same people that spawned secret societies, IMO.

The word DEVIL can be linked etymologically to the word DOUBLE, implying a twin, but not necessarily an ‘evil’ twin.

DEUTEROS (Gk= second); DIDUMOS (gk= Twin); DIVINE; DIVIDE; DUPLICATE; DIKE (gk= right, correct); DEI (gk= it is right); DEO (gk= god; at god);

DEATH (The Grim Reaper, aka Saturn or Time, harvests dead souls to be judged);
THOTH (Egyptian God associated with time, the moon, mathematics, wisdom, learning, divine law. Thoth judged the combat between SET and HORUS); TIDE (time; season; period of time); TIDY (orderly); TIME(English= flow of events; gk= honour, value, worth); DAIMON (gk= deity); DEMON (supernatural being; spirit; devil); DOMINUS (lat= lord; title of God; title of Jesus Christ); TAOMA (Hebrew= twin; Thomas); THOMAS (name of the disciple who doubts Jesus); DOUBT (uncertainty; to be in two minds); DUBIUS (Lat= doubtful); DOVE (spirit of God).

TOM (or THOMAS) is the name of the spokesperson for the ‘Council Of Nine’, who are supposedly cosmic entities who claimed to be overseeing mankind’s evolution, and whose messages are recorded in the New Age bestseller “The Only Planet Of Choice”. Tom also identified itself as the Egyptian God TEHUTI (aka THOTH), and as the Egyptian God ATUM (or ATEM, TUM, TEMU). ATUM, according to legend, is the supreme Creator God who created a pair of Gods, who in turn generated three more pairs, thus forming ‘the Nine’ (Great Ennead).

Atum initially emerged as a dry phallic-shaped hill out of the watery depths of the formless void called NUN. Similarly, Jesus walked on water, as did Noah on his Ark; and Moses the baby in a basket. The Spirit of God moved over the face of the waters.

The Sanskrit word KARMA means “action; work; fate; the deed done; work performed”. Its’ etymological roots lay in words that mean “to make; to form; to do”, thus linking karma with a creative function. Karma reflects the mind that acts and creates.

Etymology: KARMA; KWER (Proto-Indo-European = to make, form); KERAS (Lithuanian = charm); KI (Sumerian = Earth, the Earth Goddess); KA ( Egyptian = spirit; life force; double; guardian; guide; conscience); VIPAKA (Note the KA in this Sanskrit word and agricultural metaphor that is associated with karma. It means RIPENING; MATURING; CONSEQUENCES); KAMI (Shinto name for deities and nature spirits); KAMUY (Ainu = spiritual beings; gods).

Hermes is the Greek God equivalent of Thoth. Hermes is a God of science and communication, and a messenger of the Gods, so is like an angel or light.

Etymology: LIGHT; LUCIS (lat= light); LUCIFER (the fallen angel and bringer of light); LOKI (Norse equivalent of Hermes); LACHESIS (one of the 3 Fates of Greek legend); LUKOS (gk=wolf. The big bad wolf tries to blow down the houses of the 3 little pigs. Angels blow wind or blow trumpets: the breath or spirit or word of God); LEGO(gk= speak).

Words and light both illuminate, and give wisdom: “Be as wise as the serpent”.

“The Word was with God, and the Word was God”, thus words symbolise the act of creation. Words reflect reality, but are not reality: the map is not the territory.

4 is 2 squared: squaring is a kind of doubling. The number 4 and the square are both symbolically associated with the physical world and its creation, e.g. according to the “Tao Te Ching”, “From the Four springs the 10,000 things” (10,000 = 10 to the power of four).

4 rivers flow into the Garden of Eden. A cross has 4 points. 4 horses of the Apocalypse.
