  In this controversial book, Kersey Graves presents a historical and comparative analysis of the concept of Satan in various religious traditions. The book explores the origins of the devil figure, tracing its roots in ancient mythologies and religious beliefs. "The Biography of Satan" challenges conventional religious interpretations and sheds light on the diverse and evolving perceptions of evil and temptation throughout human history. Key Aspects of the Book "The Biography of Satan": Religious History: Graves' book provides a comprehensive study of the concept of Satan in different religious and mythological contexts. The author examines the symbolic significance and interpretations of Satan in ancient and modern belief systems. Controversial Perspectives: "The Biography of Satan" presents alternative viewpoints on the devil figure, encouraging readers to critically examine religious narratives and their cultural implications. Kersey Graves is best known for his controversial works on comparative religion, mythology, and freethought. Graves' writings challenged conventional religious beliefs and sought to promote a more rational and humanistic worldview. His works, including "The Biography of Satan," contributed to discussions on the evolution of religious ideas and the role of mythology in shaping cultural beliefs. The Biography of Satan is a lovely collection of lore, logic, and philosophy, dating to the middle of the rational days of the 19th century. Within this work, Kersey Graves lays waste to the doctrine of eternal Hell and the very concept of a Satan, claiming that it is, within proper tradition, the Christian god himself who is the architect of evil and suffering. With numerous references to linguistics, pagan lore, and then-modern historical science, Graves' work deserves far more attention from the world at large; and for those interested in the occult, and in magic, the comprehension of proper demonology requires such concepts to be understood.

  Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980  
  • Is the human brain deteriorating? 
  • The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone 
  else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years. 
  • Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself 
  have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it? 
  • Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain? 
  • The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through 
  time, is no longer there. 
  • If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part 
  of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in 
  themselves. 
  • Meditation is insight.

In the text, Plato argues that justice is not simply a matter of following the laws of the city, but rather is something that must be based on the ideal state of the city. For Plato, the ideal state is one in which all citizens are able to participate in the ruling of the city.
