LUCIFER:
HIS ORIGIN, NATURE AND PURPOSE
NOT “SATAN” --- NOT “THE DEVIL”
The teaching that permits this must be distorted, whatever it is called; for a teaching that has not yet been distorted will also swing in purity in the Laws of God. It does not produce human beings who wish to harm their fellow-men!”
IMANUEL: “SON OF MAN”
And “ETERNAL MEDIATOR”!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Reader: The Text that graces the beginning of this Discourse encapsulates the essence of the overall thrust of this Work. It is stated often throughout to remind us that despite the many, many Servants of God who came to show us “a better way”, disobedience, disharmony and strife became our human norm.
This Discourse will show us where and why we of the human race were influenced so significantly-detrimentally that now in the 21st century the societies we have brought about and must now inhabit increasingly displays behaviours that are completely aberrant and/or make little logical sense. In truth, some are so bizarre that they tend towards a kind of insanity.
In concert with that undeniable strand under the aegis of our current Title, the next five Discourses will follow a specific course, in the first place directed to human incarnation onto the earth-plane. Obviously, that has to primarily focus on childbirth, for without human births nothing further can develop on earth. Now, since we already know that procreation and birth are subject to precise and inviolable Laws of Creation, the role of women in the different societies and religious groupings world-wide and on our long human journey to the present will be closely examined from the standpoint of those Eternal Laws.
The very fact that we must all be “born of woman” brings into sharp focus the universal reality for women of “birth with pain”. This aberrant outcome will be very specifically analysed, for, under the perfect aegis of Divine Creation-Law, that should never have been the case --- so we will learn why it has been that way for a very long time. Current medical, social, and religious beliefs simply accept it as a “natural” adjunct to the birthing process, so any radically-different idea to all those expert opinions would probably not be received with any real enthusiasm.
However, since the “process of birth” is exactly that, and without deviation in that precise “process”; then, quite clearly, equally-precise “procedures” --- completely outside of medical/physical considerations --- must be at play here. In direct concert, because “birth with pain” has been accepted as the norm for many thousands of years, the “rules” that underpin the complete progression ultimately being “absolute”, the reason why “birthing pain” is the human reality can only be found in the immutable outworking of The Eternal Laws!
Reader, what you will learn in the first Section of this PART III will surely produce shrieks of indignation and anger from many quarters, but we certainly won’t argue with The Laws of Creation and their perfect explanations. Everyone else can if they so wish! To that end, and along with our far-too-many religious beliefs, the societal mores of the present, particularly of the West, will be placed under a keen “spiritual” microscope.
In learning who Lucifer is and what his purpose should have been, we will discover that his detrimental influence had a direct bearing on the kinds of souls that women have borne, and how that long time of Lucifer’s influence on us has “produced” the aspiritual religions and societies as they are today. The next four Discourses will simply, but brutally, flesh out that reality!
To recap: In order to really understand how and why that long and collective “birthing process” has brought us to our current, horrendous point of social collapse, we must first understand who Lucifer is, and thus what his influence on us has wrought! However, we should not forget that we did not at any time have to be so influenced.
I am sure we can say with certainty that most of the cultures of global humanity --- and certainly the religions --- in their doctrines include some kind of “dark figure of evil”, which of course they fear. Accompanying the central entity are usually a host of evil helpers all bent on ensnaring human souls. Being evil, they naturally take on hideous forms, all the more to spread fear amongst us human beings. Even at the highest earthly levels of the Church hierarchy and within the larger religions, that’s the general assumption --- which is what we have all been conditioned to believe.
In a bizarre choice for one’s very life, throughout the centuries to the present-day, “devil-worshipping” covens and cults have arisen and at times flourished. Of course, in primarily the earlier cultures where the complete knowledge of The Divine Laws of Creation could not penetrate to, worship of the Forces of Nature where good and evil aspects were believed to hold sway, became the norm. And despite the influence of spiritually-strong Truth-bringers bringing key aspects of Higher Knowledge to their peoples, the pull to retain the “old ways” resulted in the abandonment of much of the beneficial spiritual teachings of those especial men once they were gone!
So, today, the notion of a powerful, dark entity that we are supposedly powerless against, permeates our cultures and religions. Hollywood --- and Americans of course --- have certainly added their share to it with a never-ending stream of garbage “vampire/zombie” movies. The consequence of these Horror movies is that they add “fuel to the fire” of evil thought-forms, even giving fresh ideas to people on earth with such tendencies, thereby encouraging them to commit darker deeds --- and more of them.
We all know that the “copy-cat” principle is well-documented in police files in many countries. In a truly twisted mind-set that defies rational logic, the truly evil vie with each other to commit the most heinous crimes, just for notoriety!
What these script-writing and film-making fools do not even begin to understand is that their “creations” set in play subtle, and not so subtle, connections that attach to Realms of Darkness! Under the immutable aegis of The Creation-Law of Attraction..., that dark “Power Centre” then influences all on earth that “play” in and with that “stuff”.
Of course, reader, they would all mock that sure reality --- they’re too clever and “sophisticated” --- but when they shed their physical bodies, they will then surely know their transgressions made against Divine Creation-Law! In any case we have already explained all of that in detail in the Discourses on the First and Second Deaths!
So, in concert with the standard format of this Work: Where do the “big three” stand on the personage of Lucifer --- or the “devil”? Of course, we could quote reams of “religious stuff” on this subject but there would be little point in doing so, for towards the end of this discourse we are going to correct all the many errors about this much-feared “figure”. For now, we will just present a very brief overview of each of the “big three’s” doctrine on “Satan”!
LUCIFER AND CHRISTIANITY:
By virtue of the wide global spread of Christianity over around 1,900 odd years, we believe their views are quite well known in their incorporation of a general view of “Satan”. So much so that the Catholic Church has a special group of priests who specialise in exorcisms --- ‘casting out demons’ --- as do some other churches. The “church” also determined the nature and form of Satan’s “familiars”, of which the various “types” became the close companions of “witches and necromancers” and the like. That cruel and totally aspiritual dogma meant that in Medieval Europe even owning a cat and picking forest herbs often resulted in being “burned at the stake” --- ultimately in their uncounted thousands, and mostly women.
We should strongly-clarify a key point here! We do not at all mock the effects of “dark forces” on certain individuals, for those “forces” are real, and have serious life. There are enough recorded instances where well-meaning priests and “holy men” came up against forces they could not contain, control or dispel. The very nature of such “dark forces” ultimately has its genesis in our long-held ignorance! We brought them into being through our transgressions against Divine Creation-Law, for they were not placed into Creation by Almighty God!
No: We did that! Therefore, if one were to really try to grasp the “concept” of The Creator in all His Majesty, we would perceive that GOD is LOVE and LIGHT; the logical extension of which is the absolute knowing that all productions of evil are ours ---- they can only be ours. Evil cannot possibly exist in any of the Higher Planes of Light. The distortions in the religious teachings highlight one more serious reason why the utter destruction of our aspiritual religions is virtually upon us.
The reality of such “forces” can be read in most of the main religious works, the primary example being the Bible where Jesus is recorded as “driving out demons” a number of times. One occasion also records a self-styled “messiah” boasting that he, too, could do the same. To his serious detriment, he did not succeed. The answer is simple; one act possessed Divine Power, the other attempt was by a foolish human being who arrogantly believed he had the same ability --- like quite a few human beings in the 21st century!
Despite well-recorded instances of “possession” and its associated partner, “split personalities”, modern-day psychiatric medicine has no “truck” with such views. The profession’s rejection of a very real phenomenon is to the detriment of true, holistic/spiritual healing for such persons. Long Greek or Latin designations for the various “mental” conditions that afflict so many today certainly won’t bring resolution to the “affected patient”.
In terms of the difference in concept between Christianity and Judaism on the subject of “Satan”, the online Jewish website, “my JEWISH LEARNING”, in the section: Jewish vs. Christian Concepts of Satan, has this to say.
‘On the whole, Satan occupies a far more prominent place in Christian theology
than in traditional rabbinic sources. The Book of Revelation, in the New
Testament, references an “ancient serpent” --- commonly understood as the
snake that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden --- “who is the Devil and Satan.” ...
Revelation further describes a war in heaven in which Satan is hurled to earth,
where he proceeds to lead the world astray. --- According to Christian prophecy,
Satan will be bound by a chain for 1,000 years after the return of Jesus. [Reader:
Extrapolate that to a conclusion which you can easily draw from all that you have
read thus far.]
Some of these Christian ideas are echoed in the Jewish tradition, but some also
point to fundamental differences --- most notably perhaps the idea that, in the
Hebrew Bible at least, Satan is ultimately subordinate to God, carrying out his
purpose on earth. Or that he isn’t real at all, but is merely a metaphor for sinful
impulses.
The Kabbalistic/Hasidic and Christian traditions describe the forces of the holy and
the demonic as locked in a struggle that will culminate in God’s eventual victory.
According to some scholars, this is born of the so-called “golden age” of Jewish
culture in Spain during the Middle Ages...
LUCIFER AND JUDAISM:
Satan in the Talmud
Satan makes many appearances in the Talmud. A lengthy passage in the Tractate
Sanhedrin accords Satan a central role in the biblical story of the binding of Isaac.
According to Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi, it was Satan that causes the Jewish people
to despair of Moses returning from Mount Sinai by showing them an image of the
prophet on his deathbed. A passage in the Tractate Megillah says that Satan
dancing at the party of the Persian King Ahasuerus is what led to the killing of
Queen Vashti in the Purim story.
In Tractate Bava Batra, Reish Lakish says that Satan, the yetzer hara and Angel of
Death are all one. Maimonides, the medieval Jewish philosopher, endorses this
position in his Guide for the Perplexed. The word, Satan, Maimonides writes,
derives from the Hebrew root for “turn away.” Like the evil inclination, Satan’s
function is to divert human beings from the path of truth and righteousness.
Maimonides seems not to believe Satan actually exists, but rather that he is a
symbol of the inclination of sin. The entire Book of Job, he writes, is fictional,
intended merely to elucidate certain truths about divine providence. And even if it
is true, Maimonides continues, certainly the portion where God and Satan
speak with each other is merely a parable.
Satan in Kabbalah and Hasidism
The Jewish mystical tradition has much to say about Satan. Indeed, Kabbalistic
texts offer a rich description not merely of Satan but of an entire realm of evil
populated by demons and spirits that exists in parallel to the realm of the holy.
Satan is known in Kabbalah as Sama’el (rendered in some sources as the Great
Demon), and the demonic realm generally as the Sitra Achra --- literally “the other
side.” The consort of Sama’el (who is mentioned in pre-kabbalistic Jewish
literature as well) is Lilith, a mythic figure in Jewish tradition more commonly
known as the rebellious wife of Adam.
The kabbalistic sources portray the demonic as a separate and oppositional realm
in conflict with God. Kabbalah ever offers explanations of the origins of the
demonic realm, the most common of which is that this realm emerges when the
attribute of God associated with femininity and judgement, is disassociated from
the attribute of God associated with grace and masculinity, and becomes
unconstrained. Evil, in this reading, results from an excess of judgement.
Many of these ideas would later find expression in Jewish folk beliefs and in the
works of the Hasidic masters. Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Poloniye, one of the chief
Disciples of Hasidism’s founder, the Baal Shem Tov, wrote in his Toldos Yaakov
Yosef that God would eventually slaughter the angel of death during the
messianic age --- a belief that clearly echoes the Christian view of a final
showdown between God and Satan at the End of Days. Hasidic folk tales are
replete with descriptions of demonic forces, among them a famous story in which
the Baal Shem Tov defends a group of children from a werewolf. Even today some
Hasidic Jews will seek out protections from such forces in the form of amulets or
incantations. Some Jewish communities, particularly in the Sephardic world, also
prize amulets as protection from evil spirits and maintain a number of customs
and rituals aimed at keeping those spirits at bay. Jewish sources dating back to
biblical times including formulas for exorcisms to free the possessed of an evil
spirit, known as dybbuk.
LUCIFER AND ISLAM
Firstly: from the Muslim viewpoint and the Koran, let’s look at the “creation of Lucifer”. Commonly and very wrongly referred to as “the devil’, the “Person of Lucifer” (Islam’s Iblis) also had to “come into existence”, somehow. On that point, however, earthly religions do not have a clue as to how that occurred, or who he is and what his original purpose was in Creation. Under the Heading, The Devil, M.M. Ali’s Index has almost a full page of references to Lucifer. From that list we have picked out a few of the more relevant verses.
However, reader; we will later reveal to you and anyone else who might want to know --- from The Grail Message of Abd-ru-shin, of course ---- Lucifer’s actual origin, and his purpose. You, at least, can then let go all the garbage generated over thousands of years of ignorance about this “dark portender” --- the so-called “Devil”.
From the Koran, Chapter 7, SECTION 2: The Devil’s Opposition to Man
Verse 7:11. (M.M. Ali.)
‘And We indeed created you (*), then We fashioned you (*),
then We said to the angels: Make submission to Adam.a (**) So they
submitted, except Iblis; he was not one of those who submitted.’ (**)
M.M. Ali’s commentary:
11a. That what is stated here of Adam is true of all men is made clear by the
words of this verse. Men are created first, then fashioned (*), then the order
is given to the angels to make obeisance to Adam, who in this sense typifies
man, the verse speaking of men generally in the opening words. Thus the
angels are really required to make submission to every man. (**) -- (M.M.
Ali.)
(*) The two key words --- created, and fashioned; both of which we have already explained the true meaning in the Discourse on our Origins.
(**) Point two is an interesting verse about angels submitting to Adam, the first man. Islam clearly places much store on the position of man (us) in the Great Creation. Whilst noting that Islamic scholar, M.M. Ali, differentiates between the classes or levels of “angels” in order, most probably, to ensure or promote the sanctity of the wording of verses relating to angels and man in the Koran; nonetheless, the very idea that they (angels) who stand far higher than we ever could, should submit themselves and be subordinate to us, is beyond comprehension. Surely, only a religion could make such a preposterous “placement”. We note that ‘Iblis’ didn’t submit.
Perhaps the classic tale of the devil or “serpent” leading humans astray is that of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. From The All-Truth of Imanuel, we can all know the true happening --- which is not what earthly religions teach! Nonetheless, purely for the purposes of the general tale, let’s learn a little more about Satan from Islam’s point of view in chapter 2, verse 36:
‘But the devil made them slip from it, a and caused them to depart from the state in which they were. And We said: Go forth, b some of you are the enemies of others. And there is for you in the earth an abode and a provision for a time.c
M.M. Ali’s commentary:
36a. How did the devil do it? Here the Qur’an again contradicts the Bible. It
was not the serpent that misled Eve, nor did Eve mislead Adam. The devil
cast an evil suggestion into the minds of both Adam and Eve, as he casts
evil suggestions into the mind of every son and daughter of Adam and Eve.
“But the devil made an evil suggestion to them that he might make
manifest to them that which had been hidden from them of their shame”
(7:20).
36b. The new condition in which man finds himself by submitting to his low
desires is the condition of the mutual enmity of one to the other, the
tyranny of man to man (*) being undoubtedly the greatest evil man can
commit. The use of the words “some of you are the enemies of others”
shows clearly that this address is not to Adam and Eve alone, but to all
mankind or man in general.
36c. The words “an abode and a provision for a time” refer to man’s span of
life on earth, which is limited as compared with the eternal life of the next
world.
(*) Why not state it as the” tyranny of religion against religion”? Is that not where the greatest amount of “tyranny of man to man” has occurred, Mr. Ali?
Certainly, Lucifer had/has immense power, and yes, his influence on human beings was/is catastrophic. But that was not because we could not oppose his influence if we chose to, for that is all he could do --- influence only --- not direct or command. Our free-will attribute was/is more than sufficient to ward off such influences and live a life without his “input” --- if we had so chosen in the past, or still choose to do so today.
In that sense the Koran, in broad terms, at least attempts to get it right. In Chapter 14, verse 22, M.M. Ali’s translation and commentary offers reasonable clarification around some aspects of Lucifer’s “tactics to seduce”.
‘And the devil a will say, when the matter is decided: Surely Allah promised you a promise of truth, and I promised you, then failed you.b And I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me,c so blame me not but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your help, nor can you come to my help. I deny your associating me with Allah before.d Surely for the unjust is a painful chastisement.’
M.M. Ali’s commentary:
22a. The devil mentioned in this verse is none other than the proud misleader of
the preceding one. Compare also 37:30, where the very words we had no
authority over you are put into the mouth of the leaders from among men.
22b. Whenever a person is misled into an evil deed, he finds in the end that the
promise of a good consequence for an evil deed was only a deception. Compare
4:120 and 17:64.
22c. The devil or leader in evil, only points out an evil way, and the evildoer
follows that way.
22d. Compare 35:14. An alternative significance is I disbelieved because you
associated me with Allah: in other words, the leaders disbelieve because their
followers lead them by their flattery to think that they are worthy of being obeyed
and followed.
In truth, our many “self-wrought” human weaknesses, and certainly spiritual laziness ensured that, “over millennia”, we would be influenced and seduced to commit every abomination and evil known. Despite protestations to the contrary, the religions of man all the way to the present can certainly take their fair share of that reality. To further our understanding of the wider Muslim view --- whatever that really means --- an interesting take on some kind of association between Allah, Satan and Muhammad is also evidently in the Koran. From an “online” article --- The Demise of Islam:
To accentuate Muhammad’s mental instability Allah says in verse 41:36 that Allah let Satan confuse Muhammad. In verses 38:82 83 Allah admits that He let loose Iblis, the Satan; He did not want to control Iblis. This means that Satan is more powerful than Allah. (*) Thus, it is imperative that eventually, Satan will triumph and destroy Islam. (**) This, of course, is the desire of Allah, as nothing may transpire without Allah’s wish. Allah even admits that He loves to sow discord about His Book (the Qur’an, 41:45).
(*) NO! This means that the ‘author’ of that “interpretation” got that very, very wrong! Nothing can be more powerful than the Divine Power of God, which brought all Creation into being. A very foolish statement, indeed! Lucifer (Satan) is not the Creator of All the Worlds! Simple logic, people!
(**) We certainly agree with that sentence, though not perhaps in the
sense that Lucifer will stand over and destroy Islam in one moment with a single
wave of his “dark hand”. His influence alone has been more than enough to bring
about the eventual demise of Islam. It began even before Mohammed’s death
where the “Prince of Darkness” sowed discord, lies, deceit and deadly ambition in
the minds of Mohammed’s family and closest associates.
(Reader; you can learn all about that in PART IV B.)
Even the best-intentioned interpreters of Islam cannot get past their very narrow, totally-incorrect, paradigm that “God can do anything because he is God”. And with that, any interpretation can be considered perfectly valid. So, Satan can be whatever Islam deems him to be.
Robert Spencer’s Book: THE COMPLETE INFIDELS GUIDE TO THE KORAN; adds a little more to our Discourse of the moment in the Section:
THE HADITH ILLUMINATES THE KORAN
‘The Koran is not the mainstream Muslim’s only guide. A Muslim scholar,
Abu Abdir Rahmaan, says Satan has suggested “to the hearts of some of
the Muslims that the Qur’an, as glorious as it is, is sufficient enough alone
as guidance for Mankind. Meaning that the Sunnah, or way of the
Messenger of Allah . . . is something that can be left off or abandoned.
Without a doubt this is a growing disease that has no place in this
wonderful way of life of ours.”
Our next question about Islam’s version of Satan and his effect on Muslims centres on the “Pilgrimage to Mecca”, and the associated question of why millions of pilgrims very strangely, in a kind of lemming-like horde, throw rocks at stone walls to, evidently, “chase away the devil”? Where and how, in all logic and honesty, could such a practice have possibly arisen?
Firstly, as all this is closely connected with the Ka’bah, what does our Islamic scholar of choice say about the actual facility? Since it is a fact of history that Abraham and Ishmael laid the first stones for it, what might this “item” mean for Judaism and Christianity? So, reader; let’s learn a little about what the Ka’bah is. From M.M. Ali’s Koran, Chapter 5, verse 97:
‘Allah has made the Ka’bah,a the Sacred House, a means of support for the
people,b and the sacred month and the offerings and the victims with
garlands. That is that you may know that Allah knows whatever is in the
heavens and whatever is in the earth, and that Allah is Knower of all
things.’
M.M. Ali’s commentary:
97 a. Ka’bah, from ka’ba, meaning it
swelled or became prominent, is so
called because of its prominence, or it is a prophetical name showing that it
shall forever have eminence in the world. ...among the Arabs it was known
as Bait Allah, or the House of Allah. The building proper is 55 feet by 50
feet, but the whole courtyard in which it stands measures 530 feet by 500
feet.
Well, does ka’ba mean prominent, or is it a prophetical name --- or is it both? M.M. Ali once more gives us one apparently indisputable meaning, but in the same sentence then avers that it could be, or also be, something else. Interesting!
97 b. This is a prophetic announcement that the Ka’bah will forever remain a support or stay for men, where pilgrims will flock from all parts of the world. The reference to this prophecy is elucidated in the concluding words: “That is that you may know that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth”; that is, the fulfilment of this prophecy in all future ages will be a sign of the great knowledge of Allah, Who pronounced it at a time when the Ka’bah was hardly known beyond the environs of Arabia.
That’s the “sacred building”! Now let’s try and get our heads around the stone-throwing aspect of the hajj. From the online publication, THE TIMES OF ISRAEL:
‘In the final hajj rite in Saudi Arabia, millions of Muslim pilgrims cast
pebbles in a symbolic stoning of the devil. After stoning three walls symbolizing
Satan in a rejection of sin and temptation, male pilgrims change out of the
seamless terrycloth robes of pilgrimage and shave their heads as a sign of
renewal. Men who prefer not to undergo a complete shave --- and women --- have
a lock of hair clipped.’
For the stoning ritual, approximately 3.4 million pilgrims from around the
world file in crowds through a multi-level structure housing the walls symbolizing
the devil in the desert valley of Mina, outside the city of Mecca.
The stoning ritual has been the scene of deadly crushes and stampedes
killing hundreds --- the most recent in 2006 --- as pilgrims tried to squeeze past
and throw their stones, especially since there used to be pillars instead of walls,
meaning the massive throngs had to focus on a smaller point. Even with the walls,
pilgrims on one side often get hit by pebbles thrown by people on the other side.’
“The life of a hajji is precious to the government and their safety comes
first,” [Fatani] said. “If we leave the hajj the way we had it before, there will be a
catastrophe from the first day.”
What can we say! Such a really bizarre practice to ostensibly “drive away the devil” should be seriously recognised as being nothing more than a “reversion” to tribal medieval superstition, yet supposedly incorporating elements of great knowledge. --- It fails utterly!
Now that we have looked at human/religious ideas of who, and/or what, Lucifer is believed to be, let’s turn once more the One, the Only One, Who can give us real enlightenment about this, historically, much-feared entity.
Once again, The Grail Message of The Son of Man provides the true explanations about the great “Adversary of The Light’!
IMANUEL, THE “SPIRIT OF TRUTH”, ANSWERS THE “MYSTERY” OF LUCIFER’S ORIGIN, NATURE AND PURPOSE!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
THE MYSTERY OF LUCIFER
In truth, this shrinking back is nothing but man’s inability to penetrate into the realm of Darkness. Again this inability simply lies in the order of things, for here as elsewhere a limit is set upon the human spirit owing to its nature, which prevents it from penetrating so far. Just as it is unable to reach the Highest Heights, so also is it unable to penetrate to the deepest depths, nor will it ever be able to do so!
Thus the imagination created substitutes for what was missing; it created a diversity of beings! People speak of the devil in the most adventurous forms, from the fallen and expelled archangel, of the embodiment of the evil principle, and all the rest of it. Nothing is understood of Lucifer’s true nature, although the human spirit is often struck by him, and consequently thrown into a state of great inner conflict, which can be likened to a battle!
Those who speak of a fallen archangel, as those who speak of the embodiment of the evil principle, come closest to the truth. But here also a false attitude prevails, giving a false picture of everything. An embodiment of the evil principle makes one think of the summit, of the final goal, of all evil having been invested with life and body, thus the crowning, the complete culmination!
On the contrary, however, Lucifer is the origin, the starting point and the driving power of the wrong principle! One should not really call the principle he brings forth the evil principle, but the wrong principle! The field of action of this wrong principle is the World of Matter.
It is only here that the effects of the Light and the effects of the Darkness, the two opposing principles, meet with one another, and constantly influence the human soul while it is developing on its journey through the World of Matter. Whichever of the two the human soul favours, in accordance with its own wishes, proves decisive for its ascent toward the Light or for its descent toward Darkness.
The gulf which lies between Light and Darkness is immense. It is filled by that part of Creation called the World of Matter, which is subject to the transient nature of the forms, that is, to the disintegration of the forms existing at the time and to a subsequent reconstruction.
Since according to the Laws which the Will of God the Father has placed in Creation a cycle can only be considered completed and fulfilled when it ends up by returning to its origin, so also the cycle of a human spirit can only be considered fulfilled when it returns to the Spiritual Realm, because that is where its spirit-germ originated. ------
Lucifer himself stands outside material Creation and will therefore not be drawn into the disintegration which is the fate of the victims of his principle, because Lucifer is eternal. His origin lies in a part of the Sphere of Divine Substantiality. The dissension started after the creation of all matter had begun. Sent out to support spiritual substantiality and further its development in the World of Matter, he failed to carry out his mission in accordance with the Creative Will of God the Father but, through a volition which came to him while working in matter, he chose ways other than those ordained by this creative Will.
Misusing the power delegated to him, he introduced among other things the principle of temptation in place of the principle of supporting help, which is identical with serving love; serving love in the Divine sense, which has nothing in common with slavish servility, but only has the spiritual ascent and thereby the eternal happiness of his fellow man at heart and acts accordingly!
The principle of temptation, however, is identical with the setting of snares which cause creatures who are not sufficiently strong within themselves quickly to stumble, fall and become lost, whereas others, it is true, grow stronger and more alert so as to blossom forth powerfully towards spiritual heights. But all that is weak is irrevocably abandoned to destruction from the start. This principle knows of no goodness, no compassion; it is wanting in the Love of God the Father, and therewith also in the mightiest power to ascend and in the strongest support available. ------
Lucifer refuses to wait with kindness for man gradually to mature and become strong. He refuses to be the loving gardener that he should be, caring for, supporting and tending the plants entrusted to him. With him “the wolf” literally “came to mind the sheep”! His goal is the destruction of all that is weak, and he works relentlessly towards that end.
At the same time he despises the victims who succumb to his temptations and snares, and it is his wish that they should be destroyed in their weakness!
He is also contemptuous of the baseness and meanness with which these fallen victims show in the working out of his principle, for it is only men who turn it into the loathsome villainy which is so evident. Through this they only incense Lucifer the more to regard them as creatures who deserve nothing but destruction, not love and care!
To achieve this destruction not a little is contributed by the principle of “letting oneself go”, which follows as a natural consequence of the principle of temptation. This “letting oneself go” takes place in the lower regions of Darkness but, through so-called psycho-analysis, some practitioners have already accepted it on the assumption that here on earth also “letting oneself go” liberates and matures. ----------
Both the principle of “letting oneself go” and temptation are so closely connected that temptation must without doubt precede “letting oneself go”. ------
The application of his loveless principle, however, quite naturally separated Lucifer more and more from the Loving Will of the Almighty Creator, causing him to be cut off and cast out from the Light. Consequently he fell ever deeper. Lucifer is one who has severed himself from the Light, which is equivalent to having been cast out.
This expulsion was also bound to occur according to the existing Primordial Laws, the irrevocable Holy Will of God the Father! It could not possibly happen otherwise!
Since only the Will of God the Father, of the Creator of all things, is omnipotent, and is also firmly anchored in material Creation and its development, Lucifer can quite well send his principle into the material sphere, but the resulting effects will always and only operate within the Primordial Laws ordained by God the Father and must form themselves accordingly!
Thus, in pursuit of his erroneous principle, Lucifer can only incite men to set out on a road dangerous to them, but he is unable in any way to force men into something unless they themselves decide upon it voluntarily!
In fact Lucifer can only lure! ----------
In order to apply his principle Lucifer is forced to make use of his auxiliary troops, composed of human spirits who have succumbed to his temptations!
The spirit of every man striving upwards is not only fully able to deal with them, but is far superior in strength. --
Lucifer would indeed be quite powerless if mankind would make the effort to recognise and follow the Primordial Laws given by the Creator. Unfortunately, however, men increasingly support the wrong principle through their present behaviour, and the greater part of them will have to perish! -----------
The origin of Lucifer requires that only he who is of the same or of a higher origin can personally approach and face him, and so none other can penetrate to him. It must be a Divine Envoy, armed with the sacred seriousness of His Mission and with perfect trust in the Source of All Power, in God the Father Himself!
This task has been delegated to the prophesied Son of Man!
The combat will be a personal one, face to face, not only a general symbolical one, as many investigators want to interpret from the prophecies. ----------------
The monstrous and hideous forms which man erroneously tries to give Lucifer are but the confused phantasies of the human brain! In truth, for the simple reason that there is a difference in species, no human eye was ever able to behold him, not even the eye which already during life on earth is often able to recognise the Ethereal World of the beyond!
Contrary to all ideas Lucifer may be called proud and stately, of a supernatural beauty and sombre majesty, with large, clear blue eyes which, however, in their ice-cold expression bear witness to a lack of love! He is not only a conception as he is generally represented when all other interpretations fail, but he is personal!
Mankind should learn to understand that for them too, on account of their particular species, a limit is set which they can never cross, naturally not even in their thoughts, and that messages can only come to them from beyond this limit as an act of Grace.
This cannot happen through mediums, who are unable to change their species even under supernatural conditions, and just as little through science. --------

As a final note on this subject: A student of the Second World War will readily see the effect of the “Lucifer Principle” on Hitler, on his closest associates, and on the wider Nazi Regime. In its concomitant and particularly tragic outcome, it also impacted on virtually the whole of the Germanic peoples. Thus:
“This principle knows of no goodness, no compassion; it is wanting in the Love of God the Father, and therewith also in the mightiest power to ascend and in the strongest support available.”
Reader: Never forget the Foundation for this Work at its beginnings --- “The Humanly-Incomprehensible Love of God”! To remind you: It is exactly about the above Admonition from The Spirit of Truth to us in this World of Matter in the first instance; how we have not ever repaid that Unconditional Love in the only way we should have ---- and indeed actually could have.
But we didn’t! Our abject weakness in accepting and using the “Lucifer Principle” in place of “The Love of God” for our long journey to this present time means that, for most, it will now end in catastrophic disaster! Remember again: “Few men left”!
Especially note that the two world wars --- only 20 years apart in the 20th century and that time just long enough for a new generation of young men to be born and raised for the second conflagration --- occupied the same time-frame as Imanuel, “The Spirit of Truth”!
To hopefully anchor in your spirit the profound nature of these connections that we allude to here, we enjoin you to hark back to Discourse 8 featuring the famous Stigmatic, Therese Neumann. If you then put that knowledge to this Section of this Discourse, you will have a far greater understanding of the extent and frightening earthly power of the “Dark Forces” involved; “forces” that literally tore apart what had been reasonably-stable societies prior to those two great wars of appalling death and destruction.
We should stress, however, that under Adolf Hitler the second global conflagration saw the fullest expression of that “Dark Principle” in its opposition to The Light of Truth on earth! If you think now why and/or how it all could have gotten that far to begin with --- certainly a valid question ---- well, we allowed it. It’s that simple! We did not fulfil our spiritual responsibilities then, we did not in times before, and we have not done so since!
Is it not small wonder, then, that we now almost marvel at the seriously-horrendous and rapidly-deteriorating state of our “earthly” home?
Notwithstanding the fact that few knew of The Divine Laws of Creation --- then on earth in their pristine entirety ---- simple, everyday moral and ethical considerations should have been more than enough for the Germanic Peoples to counter the rising madness of the time.
But No! Despite its clear and stated goals of subjugation and enslaving of other peoples, Hitler’s twisted ethos nonetheless carried along with it most of the German people who at the time happily gave adoration and even worship to a man regarded as perhaps the most evil in history. Stalin, another brutal human being under the same influence, might have been a close contender for that title.
The Germanic Peoples then descended into darkness and evil. Leading the way: The shock troops of the S.S., on the belt buckles of which were the great words of inexcusable hypocrisy: ------- “Gott Mit Uns” --- “God With Us”.
To hammer an obvious point home once more, we repeat here the powerful “Text of Truth” that introduced this Discourse!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The teaching that permits this must be distorted, whatever it is called; for a teaching that has not yet been distorted will also swing in purity in the Laws of God. It does not produce human beings who wish to harm their fellow-men!”

Now: A hard historical lesson of the devastating-effect of the “Lucifer Principle”! In PART II, Discourse 14: THE LAW OF RECIPROCAL ACTION, we brought to your attention the reason why the 2008 global financial crash occurred. The same manipulative processes that wrought it, whilst destroying the earnings of millions, made the manipulators very much richer.
As we also pointed out in that segment, the genesis of “that crash” lay much further back in the late 19th century with the setting up of legislation for the emergence of the Federal Reserve Bank of the U.S., with its “constitution” more or less “fixed” in the early part of the 20th century. That structure was both the catalyst and the mechanism which ultimately brought Hitler to power --- the Wall Street “crash” of 1929.
Prior to the actual day of the crash of ‘29, Paul Warburg, one of the architects of the Federal Reserve Act, provided the warning to sell. That signal came on March 9 of that year when the Financial Chronicle quoted Warburg as giving this sound advice:
“If orgies of unrestricted speculation are permitted to spread too far ... the ultimate collapse is certain ... to bring about a general depression involving the whole country.”
Of course, it was not restricted to just America alone, for the Depression infected most countries across the globe. But the genesis of the viral, poison-laden thread that ultimately brought Hitler to power, began with the devious and very greedy money-men of Europe originally, who then in the New World brought all independent banks under their control in one single entity --- the “Fed”. It is an entity of which Congressman and chairman of the House Banking Committee, Wright Patterson, once stated; “the Federal Reserve is so powerful that in United States today we have in effect two governments. We have the duly constituted Government. ... Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution.”
American President F.D.R., who opposed Hitler as one of the Allied war leaders, once said:
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”
Montagu Norman, a former head of the Bank of England, once noted the ultimate aim of those who engineered the financial “crashes” as to “ensure that the Hegemony of World Finance should reign supreme over everyone, everywhere, as one whole supernational control mechanism.”
Gary Allen, author of None Dare Call It Conspiracy, notes some crucial points:
•The Federal Reserve Act was passed on December 22nd, 1913, by a large
majority in the House, but a narrower margin in the Senate. There was
genuine opposition to the Act, but it could not match the power of the bill’s
advocates. Conservative Henry Cabot Lodge Sr. proclaimed with great
foresight:
• “The bill as it stands seems to me to open the way to a vast inflation of
currency ... I do not like to think that any law can be passed which will make
it possible to submerge the gold standard in a flood of irredeemable paper
currency.” (Congressional Record, June 10th, 1932.)
Allen also said: “To think that the scientifically engineered Crash of ’29
was ‘an accident or the result of stupidity defies all logic. The
international bankers who promoted the inflationary policies and
pushed the propaganda which pumped up the stock market
represented too many generations of accumulated expertise to have
blundered into “the great depression”.’
You may perhaps be asking this question: Why are we pushing this association of the Wall Street “crash of ’29” to the rise of Hitler with great vigour? The reason, though simple, is crucially-profound. For, reader; if you can truly grasp the threads and connections in our explanations here --- in direct concert with all that you have been exposed to thus far --- you will possess the greatest possible understanding of why the great prophecies all point to our time now, and why there will be a concomitant “human cull” of truly terrifying proportions. SO:
THE “LUCIFER PRINCIPLE” AND THE “HITLER LEGACY”!
Inescapably coupled with the great Law of “Sowing and Reaping”, from the knowledge contained in The Grail Message --- in particular for our current analysis of the correct understanding of Lucifer and the so-devastating effect of the “Lucifer Principle” on our “collective” human journey ---- we can clearly see that very influence as an actual “thread” connecting one historical event to another.
In this example of the moment, the obvious genesis of that evil mechanism --- there is simply no other word to describe it --- could only stem from what The Son of Man terms the Darkness! Remember:
“We fight not against flesh and blood, but against the commanders of the Darkness”!
That is the devastating effect of succumbing, in weakness, ego and/or arrogance, to the Lucifer Principle!
With regard to “Hitler’s conflict”, any denial of that Truth would be laughable, simply because of the resultant and unbelievable death and destruction suffered by many nations on earth. So: Let’s hammer into ourselves the reality of this insidious Luciferian “power to seduce” and recognise perhaps the greatest lesson and effect of it in our recent history.
Right! Let’s try to explain it! As we are all now very well aware, human free-will is never taken from us, so despite whatever might be Divinely-Willed for our beneficial earthly harmony, horrendously-evil decisions and deeds by us cannot be stopped. The historical reality is glaringly-clear: Prophets, Messengers of God and Truth-bringers; their Teachings of which were all either altered very subtly to suit, terribly distorted, ignored --- and even completely outlawed under punishment of death. In addition, many of those “inconvenient Messengers” were simply put to death. Very obviously, only a “force” implacably opposed to all that The Light of God might gift to us, would work deviously and most assiduously against any and all Divine Ordinances!
Therefore: In illuminating the connections and reasons to and for the setting-up of the “Fed” and the “crash of ‘29”; if one is really spiritually aware, one can see that both events were subject to the machinations of Dark Forces. Thus was set in place --- apart from the war itself --- one of the most devastating outcomes possible for the human race! WHY?
Well, reader; the effect of the Lucifer Principle on the German people under the influence of a charismatic Hitler plunged the world into the most destructive war in our, in any case, blood-soaked history. Moreover, so stupidly enamoured were vast numbers of Germans with their “mad Führer”, that the text of a hymn, which had been composed in honour of the Prussian King Frederic the Great in the 18th century, --- was changed to “Hitler is our Lord” --- and regurlarly sung in his honour. Do we really get this madness, people? So, what did it all mean in terms of a “devastating outcome” for us today in this, now-so-clear, “end-time”?
It meant that The Living Word of The Grail Message --- The All-Truth prophesied for our time by Jesus --- was effectively prevented from being globally disseminated; for that was the Divinely-Willed purpose for which Imanuel brought it to earth, so that all humanity might receive the blessings of The Final Truth!
The other horrendous “devastating outcome” is what we must continually hammer home --- and that is the still “unpaid debt for Golgotha”. For the human race, the great unstoppable Reciprocal Effect for the murder of Jesus has yet to unfold in its final and terrible reciprocity for global humanity!
Insofar as the “Hitler years” are concerned, they offer the single most powerful lesson for the world in that it revealed perhaps the strongest example of the inviolable Reciprocal Effect of Creation-Law on any people in the history of mankind, simply because the causal decisions and subsequent, devastating, “reciprocal returns” occurred in such a short period of time.
That is also a clear indication of the increasing Divine Pressure being exerted on the affairs of men ---- either for spiritual ascent, or for the “headlong fall”!
As a direct result of that “pressure” the great “Thousand Year Reich” lasted only about twelve; each year of which, however, descended into darker and darker evil until the regime’s complete destruction! Clearly, the words on the S.S. belt buckles --- ‘Gott mit uns’ --- didn’t work for them!
To their everlasting shame, the “Lucifer Principle” triumphed over the most culturally-advanced people on earth at the time. Despite all that “hard experiencing”, however, only a tiny fraction of the German people have since recognised the reality of The Living Word once in their midst. They are, of course the pitifully few of a number of races who have now recognised The Son of Man and His Living Word! ------- “Only the few will know!”
In clear prescient insight, contemporary German journalists (later commenting on archival footage on the documentary channels) in analyses on what has been termed “the very strange rise of Hitler”, have stated: “Had the 1929 “crash” not occurred, Hitler would have remained side-lined as a ‘nut-case’!”
n addition, in clear prescient insight also, some current commentators on that time-period have actually labelled the rise and fall of Hitler and the German people as revealing --- in their words --- the most potent example of the “battle” between “Darkness and Light”!
To close this Discourse: A seeming paradox! In direct association with the “Lucifer Principle”, the great paradox in all the evil that we humans have brought into being and continually indulge in down here in the World of Matter is this:
Darkness must always “Serve the LIGHT”!
So, despite all the horrendously-evil acts committed every hour of the day across our aspiritual societies --- by human beings, of course --- and shown in never-ending, real-time, 4K colour newscasts; taking into account all parameters --- Creation does not belong to the Darkness. The reason is simple and logical enough!
Darkness does not own Creation:
For it did not bring Creation into being!
