Again, what is the hegelian dialectic concomitant with “God’s will”/Thelema.

jesuit word games. the words “god and “the devil” are semantic constructs. hallucination words. what do those terms really represent?

If you accept that God is a trickster, then yes, it would be his greatest trick.

Or maybe both God and the Devil work together to convince people that there are such things as opposites - real/unreal, God/Devil, man/God - when there is only ‘is-ness’.

Of course this would mean that God, the Devil and us are all the same thing - or that none of us exist. Or both.

That’s kind of a cool idea. That God didn’t actually create people; he just convinced them they were real. And then once they believed it, they became it, only to become trapped by it.

The greatest trick God ever played was convincing people that they are real...and if they are real, then He must be real too, as something distinct, and apart. Which He's not - not really.
