Most people
rightly associate the Fall of
Lucifer and his cohorts to be the reason for our struggles on Earth.
This is true but why and how? Most associate Lucifer's cohorts to be
non-physical demons with horns and tails and pitch forks, with a nasty
propensity of making humans projectile vomit green pea soup
(exorcist) etc. We who live in the physical world have observed
both good and evil. At present the very definitions of what good and
evil are seems to have changed. What was once considered to be good is
now often thought of as evil and what was once clearly evil is now accepted as
good. To sort this out one would have to be sober of mind, willing to
want to know the truth and sincerely would
have to go into one's own heart to find it. That is where the truth is to be found.
According
to the Lorber writings, when Lucifer fell, in his very long fall, he
questioned his own actions and intentions whereby the Love of the Holy
Father mercifully created the "physical universe" from Lucifer's for
his own redemption. This being the case what is the physical world
made of? In Christian Mysticism it is made of Lucifer's material
substance; the fallen beings
themselves. They are imprisoned in the matter of the physical
creation and are therefore make up the matter itself. They have become matter to suite the ultimate redemptive
purposes of the Creator. This is why matter is itself corruptible,
never completely inert - changeable in time - and therefore not
eternal. It is through the matter that human beings are tempted. This
is why all human beings live in a state of "sin" - which can more
accurately described as a state that lacks
perfect clarity and therefore deliberately burdensome because of the inherent uncleanliness or imperfection
of physical matter out of which all things material are made. This explains why human beings living in matter are
tempted or subject to temptation by what is in the matter itself. And, why Christ Himself
out of love and supreme mercy showed us through His life how we should live to literally overcome
the "flesh" - matter. Also, the perpetual church fed guilt
associated with "being in a state of sin" is proven to be misleading
and the state of sin itself is rendered understandable, workable and
hopefully removable through Christ's example.
To be
aware of this state and it's affects is extremely helpful in figuring
out our own lives and allows for being merciful towards others who
find themselves exactly the same situation except for the fact that we
are all dealing with different issues. Having to face this struggle in the
proper light is intended to bring back to God Lucifer's substance, out
of which
our physical body and soul are literally made of, back to God cleansed
of its pride. This tremendous effort strengthens us and prepares those who persevere in this
effort to earn the status of "children of God."
Through a good Christian
life not only are we raising ourselves to become children of God but
also the spirits bound in
the matter that makes up our physical bodies are restrained through
our will to become obedient (humbled),
becoming purified and are led back towards God through us.
Having fallen because of
pride, with Lucifer, their being bound in matter to be used by
creation of the will of human beings is to teach them humility. Their
imprisonment in matter makes our physical experience possible and it is
through them that we are tempted and at the same time tempered. This is why our physical life is so
trying and why our purpose is to overcome our base passions. Our
temptation through lust, anger, jealousy, laziness, avarice, greed,
etc are the actual sins that need to be overcome and replaced with
love, positive activity, generosity, humility etc. These are the
negative characteristics in the matter of our flesh. When we achieve this very
difficult task as Christ did we also lift up these bound spirits
within us, further weakening the spirit of Lucifer. While we are alive
we are their physical host. (as opposed to a heavenly host) It is these
spirits and similar Earth and Nature spirits that the Pagans unknowingly worshiped - they therefore are
unwittingly Satanic. The evil in paganism is not in that they actually
do other's harm. The harm they do is entirely to themselves by further
lowering themselves by worshiping something that is below their
station as being human and thereby distancing themselves from God -
this is the evil they place themselves into.
Ironically, most pagans are pretty harmless and less likely to do harm
than most upstanding respectable so-called Christians in high places.
