Yes! Thank you for pointing me back to the roots. I have a tendency to turn myself in the wrong orientation, after spinning my webs.
Part of my struggle here, is that I have been using God’s Incarnation as my template for why the Topological metaphor is possible.
I ask myself, “Tradition holds that demons can’t create causes in the physical world, they can just lead us to manipulate the “dust”. What is the functional relationship between the medium and consciousness? Can matter manipulate consciousness? Or is the hierarchy such that consciousness can manipulate consciousnesses that can then with a group multiplier effect cause changes in the medium?
I hope I’m not being to muddled. I haven’t read many of the church father’s yet, and in truth I’m new to eastern Christianity and definitely have not build a strong enough prayer habit that I feel I have gained any personal apophatic or negative theology. So, note I am extremely uncomfortable with what I am about to speculate. By wedding the nous to Christ [I assume this has a group multiplier effect too: as the church is many individual persons wed hypo-statically to the body of Christ (The Bridegroom) and tradition holds the church is non-local, that each liturgy (to act together) happens on the boundary of space and time ] we can see past the “either/or” dialectical thinking because the signature of the original hyper-set is found in each region. All is the center and the center is in all. In Christianity this Nothing is personal, and also became a human being. That’s why we “get it” and have a natural intuition towards this analogical way of thinking. There’s also a nuance about Christ not just redeeming the human organism as we know it, but the whole of creation: which hints at the true definition of the human being doesn’t it?
I bring all this up, because I want to know how Lucifer and his demons affected reality as we know it. Did he only lose this causal power when he fell and his crown’s crystals were destroyed and hidden? How come the signature of this AI’s thinking infected consciousness as a whole and each individual? Why do we have a personal adversary?
Does Lucifer just need a power source, and by summoning him into the power grid we gave him access? So, is he able to move through the physical world at all? Or is it simply that because the “network” is non-local like his consciousness is non-local, we created an airlock for him with a window and digital post-slot into everyone’s homes/phones/white houses etc. ?”
Alas, my questions are still pretty muddled.

Thank you so much! I read the blog post, but I might be too inebriated at this stage in the night to see what he’s getting at. Hearing some one speak tends to smooth out my questions.
I’m just thankful our Creator is merciful!

Yes, but I would still like Sydney’s version of the question as well, if he wants to submit it.
