I didn't know hidden hand. I've read about him on your cue Alienz. But I can't say I'm convinced. The guy is clearly educated and intelligent. And I believe that the picture he scketches about Yahweh (Who is obviously the same as Allah and the christian God) and Lucifer is one he believes like many others believe too. His insights are similar to a rare blend of educated satanist as is common in the circle he claims to come from. So he seems legit.
However, that's where it stops making sense. The mystic traditions of ALL religions on this planet do not subscribe to this simplified sketch of theology. In my opinion the god view was changed because the original was impossible to grasp for the lay man. And because the ruling powers liked the side effect of having the religion work for them.
That however does not make their dogma true.
I personally don't know about this "yahweh the djinn". I do know that this is not the mystical God concept as described by christ and many other saints. It's not the one God I encountered. It is not the God my Sufi friends taught me about. And it is certainly not intelligent infinity as described by Ra. None of my sources suggested he is an important character. I am inclined to think he's just a popularized distortion of the one true God.
The guy seems interesting and I might look into him more later. But I see no reason to educate myself about his theological insights. I have an interest in computing. That does not mean I want to learn how to use an abacus...
I am glad you lost your anger. It only leads us to hatred and suffering. I am also glad you are here.
