Ego and the Devil

I heard an interesting thought that I feel has some importance.

In the lore "Satan" or "Lucifer" was one of God's strongest and most precious angels. He was in Heaven and all was harmonious. The beginning of the end for him was at on key point. It was when he found a mirror! Interesting indeed!

I would imagine he saw himself and admired himself and all his beauty and power. Old lore says he was jealous of God and coveted the seat of the most high. His ambition grew and eventually the archangel Michael had to battle him and threw him out of Heaven.

What is interesting to me to take note is what caused "the Devil's" demise. IT WAS EGO! I have said before that I find the biggest stumbling block is egotism. I continue to battle with my huge ego daily...
