Through Spiritual Training We Might be Able to See Satan and Viruses
To die means to lose one's mind, since one's mind relies on work of the brain, namely, a part of one's body that stops biologically functioning when one dies.
In other words, a man is not afraid of one's death if he has confidence that his mind would survive his biological death. And every religion is based on the notion that one's mind lives after one's physical death. Especially Christianity is based on this notion with belief in the words of Christ Jesus that those who believe in Him could live forever.
However, it seems to be apparent that when one dies, his brain as a part of his body would also die or stop functioning; therefore when one dies, his mind should also die. But if there is the soul above the mind or above work of the mind and the soul can live, even if the body or the brain dies, leaving the brain and the mind for the spiritual world, our entity can live in the soul in the spiritual world.
It is true we cannot clearly see our own soul above our mind, but saints like Christ Jesus must be able to see souls above minds of people. Therefore, those saints must be able to see Satan, devils, and other evil spirits that are intangible sprits but not biologically living things.
And the Gospels are reports of the battles between Christ Jesus and Satan, etc. So, if you do not believe existence of souls, spirits, Angels, Satan, and other intangible spiritual entities, without mentioning the God, you cannot understand the Gospels and the words of Christ Jesus.
If we ask Christ Jesus whether we have souls, He would definitely say Yes. If we ask Christ Jesus whether there is the spiritual world, He would definitely say Yes. If we ask Christ Jesus whether there is Heaven, He would definitely say Yes. And, if we ask Christ Jesus whether Satan exists, He would definitely say Yes.
Even wise men say that what is seen consists of what cannot be seen. We cannot see contents of minds of other people. But their deeds and actions are based on their minds that cannot be seen from the outside.
But, saints like Christ Jesus must be able to see contents of the minds of other men. They must be able to see souls of other men in addition to Angels and evil spirits. Unless we can see minds of other men in addition to spiritual entities such as Angels, devils, etc., we cannot fully understand the Bible and the Gospels.
Education, training, ascetic practices, etc. should essentially aim at increasing the ability to see what cannot be seen with physical eyes. Indeed, as a man lives longer, he can learn various things to increase the ability to see what others think in their minds. Academic or systematic training accelerates obtainment of this ability. Especially through spiritual training, we might be able to see Angels and Satan.
For example, we cannot see corona-viruses with physical eyes. But our diseases and deaths that can be seen with physical eyes are caused by unseen viruses. So, through spiritual training, we might be able to obtain and enhance the ability to see Satan in addition to corona-viruses.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
