The Enigma of Lucifer, Son of the morning

The Enigma of Lucifer, Son of the morning

The phrase, 'son of the morning', is as written in the King James Version of the bible but many versions of the bible interpret this phrase differently. Different versions of the bible have been produced by biblical translators for the purpose of clearer understanding when studying scriptural documentation, but in their earnest attempt to convert the encrypted text of the scriptures into plain text, they err in the interpretation and explanation of divine thoughts and intention, therefore these translations water down the truth value and conception of divine plan for humanity. We should therefore stick to the phrase used by the King James Version because many versions of the bible were translated from the King James Version of the bible. I am not an advertisement agent for the King James Bible, neither is this an advertisement but for the purpose of great clarity and transparency, the correct and accurate term for Isaiah 14:12 is, 'son of the morning'. Lucifer is not the morning star; the scripture does not refer to Lucifer as a Star, so the term, 'day star', as used by some biblical versions is also very wrong. Lucifer means, 'light bringer', that which brings light! Some people associate Lucifer with Satan. Now, let us use our judgment here, does Satan bring light? If you think Satan can bring light, then you do not know what LIGHT really means. Satan is an embodiment of a dark and destructive energy and cannot produce light. Satan, although, the son of the divine father of all Spirits; walks the left-hand destructive tradition of the Spirit. Some ardent religionist would quickly quote from 2 Corinthians 11:14, to prove that Satan can transform into an angel of light, thereby producing light. Let us read from the thirteenth verse of the eleventh chapter of 2 Corinthians for clarity, 'for such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ'. These false apostles and deceitful workers are abomination of destruction. Jesus said, Matthew 24:15; "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" Jesus hinted that 'whoso readeth, let him understand', that abominable and false apostles, deceitful workers, wolves in sheep's skin would transform themselves into apostles of Christ, and stand on podiums to enslave the human mind, plunder their spiritual heritage and baptize them unknowingly into the worship of Satan, thereafter enthroning Satan in the hearts of the people. These satanic prophets of Babylon lure the populace away from the true worship of God in spirit and in truth. In so doing, Satan himself is transformed into an angel (or messenger) of light (; mistakenly taken for a divine messenger of light by the ignorant and the simple-minded). Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15. Satan is not an angel (divine messenger of light); an angel is of the light, but he can pretend to be an angel to the ignorant and undiscerning mind. Like I mentioned earlier, in no capacity can Satan bring light, therefore it is wrong to refer to him as the, 'light bringer' or Lucifer. 

This is not to say Lucifer is an angel; let us understand that the ambition of the personality described in Isaiah 14 cannot be fathomed by angels, just like parts of our body would never decide to become our personality. The extent of capacity, depth of thought or contrivance is beyond the conscious reach or scope of angels. Angels are spirit-beings without souls; they do not think or act independently, so therefore they are not self-conscious. They do not have freewill or ambitions of their own; and so when they act, they act according to divine instructions, just like parts of our body acts instinctively or impulsively, in carrying out their duties to ensure our well-being. Angels cannot cause their Avatar (the physical embodiment of their idea or concept) to do anything they like. Angels are group spirits; in attaining the status of an angel, spirit-beings must lose consciousness of self and embrace a celestial group life. Although, angels do not have freewill, they live in full concentration and in unity with the flowing energy of the field they are working in. They live in oneness and do not break rank even when they evolve within the hierarchical categories of angels. The hierarchical status of angels depends on the order or category that each angel operates from as light-workers to form a whole body when carrying out divine duties. Their mode of thinking is called, 'groupthink', an uncritical acceptance of or conformity to divine commandments. For example, Dominions are angels of leadership. They regulate the duties of angels making known the commands of God. Angels and demons are spirit-beings that influences our actions (not our thoughts or intellect) when we permit them; and they can only influence our actions if our intellect picks up their vibrational or frequency signal. For example, when our intellect picks up the frequency signal of the dominion category of angels, we can engage them in fighting our spiritual battles against dark forces to have dominion over them.

Sometimes, the scriptures may use the term, 'angels' for all categories of group spirits, rather than defining them by the energies they work with. Demons are group spirits who work with dark and negative spiritual energies while angels work as light workers; Revelation 12:7; And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: and he was cast out into the earth, and his angels (or demons) were cast out with him. The salient points are: Firstly, group spirits called, 'angels' work as light-workers, but the scriptures may refer to other group spirits or independent spirits who are not light-workers as, 'angels'. Jude 1:6; And the angels (fallen spirits) which kept not their first estate (primal state of being), but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Secondly, when spirits act independently, they cannot be referred to as angels because angels and demons are group spirits; group spirits exist as a legion or a host. Michael, for example work within the category of angels called, 'dominion', and he is portrayed in the scriptural excerpt above as leading other angels against the dragon and his angels (or demons). To understand angels or demons as group or unified spirits working cohesively, let us consider the body's small and large intestine. If it is true angels or demons can break rank as a unified force; then let me ask: if you cut off a little part of the intestine because you feel that, that part no longer serves its usefulness or because you feel that, that part of the intestine is rebellious, would the intestine function properly henceforth? Group spirits do not break rank; once a spirit entity loses consciousness of self and merges its consciousness with other entities in a group, that spirit can no longer regain consciousness of self. There is nothing like retrogression in consciousness among group spirits, neither is there an adverse fallout. Please note: the term, 'fallen angels' or 'fallen spirit' was not alluded in the scriptures, it is a term used by men. Angels, as spirit entities evolve gradually within the hierarchical categories of group spirits. At the tail end of the group chain are the lower angels, who begin the evolving process within the group and at the higher chain or spiritual atmosphere are the higher angels: cherubim and the seraphim, the highest order of angels. Creation is not static, when the first estate (primal state of being) is lost and the soul is lost, spirits remain in an oblivious state (darkness) and are unable to function objectively (in chains) until the judgment day (realism) dawns on how fallen spirits like themselves can function either within the negative or positive energies of the universe, they begin to devolve (deteriorate spiritually) or evolve from thence. From here we get the allegorical, 'fallen angels or spirit', which is a connotation for entities who has lost the primal state of being because the conscience or soul is lost. This brief summary about angels is to point out that the personality referred to in Isaiah 14 characteristically is not an angel or a demon.

‘Is this the man that made the earth to tremble’ Isaiah 14:16. Lucifer is described as a man in the telling of his ambition; he is not Satan, an angel or a demon; these three entities are spirit beings existing without a soul. Man is a soul being, conscious of himself and his environment and capable of being conscious of the spiritual world. The character of this enigmatic personality depicts an unusual self-ambition judging from the fact that, the phrase, 'I will' appeared five times in the telling of his ambition.

Let us read through Isaiah 14:12-14, to understand the ambition of this enigmatic personality. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. If we read these scriptural verses carefully, we'll realize that this individual wasn't trying to overthrow God, rather, he was trying to be like God! 'I will be like the Most High'. This ambitious personality is a conscious being, having freewill. He is not saying he wants to be superior to God, rather, this passage is implying that God's dominance extends beyond the celestial bodies, and so in becoming like God, he must extend his dominance also above the stars (celestial bodies or cells) of God. 'I will exalt my throne (dominance) above the stars (celestial bodies or cells) of God, above the heights of the clouds'. The thirteenth and the fourteenth verses of this chapter is the Will and Requirement of the heavenly Father for all souls. The intent of these two verses is to define to us what God consciousness really means. The intention of Lucifer, son of the morning is to be God; or to achieve God-consciousness. Again, I say, his intention is not to be superior to God or overthrow God, but to be God. Folks, if you are spiritually minded, you would know that this is not an impossible feat. I'll like to cut a small piece from my thesis: The first and the second great commandment for clarity on this subject-matter: 

"The first great commandment in its true form and meaning simply impresses on man's soul, the God or universal consciousness and a deep knowledge of who man really is. A spiritual maxim commands, 'Man, know thyself and you will know thy God'. The begging question is, "who is Man?" The most accurate description of who Man really is, can be found in the scriptures: Genesis 1:26; And God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness; Genesis 1:27; So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. God did something very unique, and this uniqueness, most importantly separates man from all other spirit beings. Genesis 2:7; And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Let us consider the phrase, 'and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life'. The breath of life as used here does not connote, 'breathing through the nostrils'. All spirits without souls also breathe. The breath of life into the nostril of man depicts transference of the innate characteristics of God into man, a predestinated conformity to the image and likeness of God, which makes him unique among all other spirits. Other spirit beings have the breath of God that enables them to be alive and breathing, however, these spirits do not have, 'the breath of life', hence they cannot grow consciously into Godhood. The breath of life is the seed of God's nature, implanted into the consciousness of man, with a promising future of divine characteristic. The breath of life is active only within the consciousness of the soul, therefore, a spirit without a soul cannot possess, 'the breath of life'. This statement means that man has the potentials (unrealized ability), to be characteristically imbued uniquely with divine intelligence if he obeys dutifully the first great commandment. This potential distinguishes man from all other spirits. To unearth this potential, man must be addicted extraordinarily, with graceful extremity of burning passion; with active and concentrated consciousness and with elastically uptrend intelligence (stretching intellect almost to a breaking point) to the knowledge of who God really is. Joshua 1:8; This book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayeth observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.
 

You cannot grow consciously into what you do not understand. Take for instance, before a bachelor degree is conferred by universities and colleges, there must be a specific branch of knowledge or learning attained; so also man; man remains a little god until the obedience of the first great commandment. To understand what little god means, let us consider the term, 'little man'. Little man is used to refer to a boy who is not yet a man but have all the potentials to become a man when the conditions are right. Every boy would one day become a man if the conditions are right. So also man, as a little god, the first great commandment enjoins man to create the right condition for the enacting process of his Godhood by diligently and dutifully setting his mind on the knowledge of who God really is, thereby unleashing his potentials, which imbues him with divine characteristics and intelligence. The first great commandment urges man to break through the matrix (womb), tearing off the veil that hinders him from the realization of his Godhood. Exodus 34:19; All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among the cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. Male here connotes, 'the will and strength to tear off the veil'. Just like in the physical world, every first born opens the womb (veil), so also is the spiritual, the Christed ones are the firstborn of God. Romans 8:28-29; And we know that all things worketh together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Although, there are many brethren, those who break the veil through perseverance and with extraordinary belief are called, 'firstborn'. We should see our relationship with the Lord God as the relationship of a little boy with his father. The little boy would one day grow and be like his father. As a little boy, he must show interest in the things of manhood and must be interested in becoming a man mentally, emotionally and psychologically. At the right time, there must be a willingness to step from boyhood (at the threshold) into manhood. When we say, 'man is different from God, and cannot become God'; we are saying, 'a boy is different from a man and cannot become a man'. James 1:17-18; Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. A fish begats a fish; a goat begats a goat; Only the Lord God can begat God like Himself: John 10:30; I and my Father are one (of the same kind)." In God we live; in God we move and in God, we have our being, for we are the offspring of God; Acts 17:28,29. 

This small piece is to point out to us that man's spiritual journey is towards Godhood; and the ambition of this enigmatic personality called Lucifer is not out of line. Although Christ’s primary mission and obligation is to accomplish and bring into manifestation Lucifer’s aspiration and desires as described in Isaiah 14:13-14, this does not justify some claims that Lucifer is the Christ. Lucifer, the light-bringer is not the Christ and Christ is not the light-bringer; Christ is the light. Jesus said, ‘as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world’. John 9:5. Jesus also said, ‘I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star’. Revelation 22:16. Like I mentioned earlier, the King James Version, from which other scriptural versions were translated from, did not describe Lucifer as the morning star, rather it says, ‘son of the morning’. The morning star appeared three times in the King James Version and none of these three verses alludes to Lucifer. The bright and morning star is strictly an appellation for the ascended Christ. Jesus would not have referred to himself as ‘the bright and morning star’, manifested in the human form; that would be contradicting the eternal law of forms and reforms. Again, we should realize that the ambition of this enigmatic personality was never realized, ‘Yet thou shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit’. Isaiah 14:15. Christ’s ended his earth-mission ascending into the heavens. Some neo-religions erroneously paint Lucifer as the saviour of mankind. The proponents of these religions should read Isaiah 14:16-17,20; the proper understanding of these excerpts would diffuse their assumption. ‘is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? His transgressions continue: Thou shall not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Isaiah 14:20.

These scriptural pieces points out the transgressions which hindered Lucifer from the realization of his ambition. The mission of the saviour is to liberate and deliver mankind from the shackles of the devil. Isaiah 60:1; Luke 4:18; the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and the opening of prison to them that are bound, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The underlined phrases show a stark contrast between the personality of Lucifer and of the Christ. The transgressions of Lucifer as described above reveals to us, a breach of divine commandment (disregard of the second great commandment from the group and agape love perspective), which causes estrangement in divine relationship.

Why is Lucifer described as the son (seed or product) of the morning? Morning as used in this scriptural verse is not the time of the day but the beginning or dawn of human consciousness. Lucifer is the son (seed or product) of the dawn of human intelligence or consciousness. The dawn (beginning) of human consciousness gives birth to the ego, hence Lucifer is the human ego. Psychoanalytically, the ego is the part of mind containing consciousness and memory and involved with control, planning, and conforming to reality. The ego imbues man with self-consciousness or intelligence, a part of us that is aware of the self as an individual. This part of man imbues us with self-importance and helps us have a relationship with our surroundings. This is the part of us which builds our personality. The ego is the executive of our personality and is governed by the reality principles around us. This part of man enriches his material and flesh life, striving earnestly to bring man into a state of grandeur and splendid magnificence through hard work. This part concentrates solely on man's achievement in the material life although its accumulated material life experience gives light to our soul life as the soul relates with the spirit. On the positive, this part of us is called, 'the light bringer', because it is the experiences it acquires in the material world that gives direction to the soul's relationship with our spiritual life. It shines light unto the soul's path as the soul strives onwards and upwards towards spiritual realities. It is the light that shapes and modifies our soul or core being.

To understanding clearly the story of Lucifer (the human ego), one must see it from the perspective of Love, a divine commandment that must not be breached. The three stages of love are:

(1) Self-love: regard for oneself, overly concern of self, to the point of ignoring the feelings of others. This brings about excessive pride or vanity, and over valuing the self. This is the life of an ego driven man. This is the beginning and root of conscious love; love centered wholly on self. Lucifer is a symbolic representation of the root and beginning of conscious love in human form; and the Babylonian King is the ego driven man described in Isaiah 14. The story in Isaiah 14 centers on the inability of the Babylonian King to transcend the stage of conscious love of self: and the witty proverb dramatically taken against him by the spiritual and illuminated class of God's people, because he sees himself as superior to mortal men and even to the celestial bodies. For the purpose of clarity, I shall continue with the use of the term, 'Lucifer' because Lucifer is the symbolic representation of the human ego; but we should be mindful that this story centers on the ego-driven, wicked and satanic King of Babylon, who refuses to grow consciously and spiritually within the three stages of love but would like to be God. Babylon as used here is not a country, but the babel gate of the god (of confusion). The King as used here connotes, 'foremost'. So the King of Babylon connotes, 'foremost at the babel gate; of the god of confusion'. These are those who take the lead in helping the babel god of confusion against fellow men. There are other armies behind them whose works are not as dreadful as their leaders, because these kings are the chief commanders and perpetrators of societal evil. The kings of Babylon are evil humans (devils) who have a relationship with forces outside our dimension, and are in possession of forbidden knowledge or information. They use this knowledge to enrich and empower themselves by sowing confusion, twisting information, creating unintelligent interpretation of the scriptures, introducing negative memes and acculturation into the society so as to enslave the human mind spiritually and socially. They achieve their aims through tools like religion, politics, the business environment and the social media. These devils would like to raise their illusionary dominion over men to that of the dominion of God, who commands the universe. The scriptures prophecies, 'thy pomp is brought down the grave, and the noise of thy voils: the worm (abominable agent of desolation) is spread under thee, and the worms (rot) cover thee. Isaiah 14:11.

(2) Agape-love: regard for group, which brings about a spiritual selfless love, felt for all souls -- humans and animals as a soul or group kindred. This is the fellowship and communion of all souls as a kindred, which is the obedience of the second great commandment; Isaiah 11:1-9. This is the Christ life, which is a symbolic representation of the celestial approach to love in human form.

(3) Transcendental or supernatural love: Love which permeates all creations. It is Love beyond which any human can give; it is the God-love, which brings about creation of the universe. The Sun is a symbolic representation of the God approach to love in celestial form.

Lucifer (the human ego), though the light bringer is a self-absorbed entity, overly concern for himself, to the point of ignoring the feelings of others: 'that made the world as a wilderness (wasteland and isolation), and destroyed the cities (groups) thereof'. He turns the world into a waste land by destroying the group, the land and killing his own people (fellow souls). 'Thou shall not be joined with them in burial (death of the human and biological form), because thou hast destroyed thy land (estate or primal state of being), and slain thy people (soul kindred)': We can now see the distinctive contrast between the Christ and Lucifer. The Christ life or group-love (agape) is a lifestyle marked with unselfish concern for the welfare of others, an altruistic approach to life. To call Lucifer the morning star is to depict him clearly as a group conscious entity. The stars are the embodiment of a group life. Christ, as the apex of the human conscious life achieved the group life on earth, and did rightly call himself, the bright and morning star, a continuation of the group life in the celestial. To paraphrase the phrase, 'I am the bright and morning star', one may say, 'I am the illumination (bright) and beginning of celestial consciousness (morning star). Lucifer (the human ego) contributes in continually holding the divine soul prisoner to the human form by refusing to embrace the altruistic approach to life. Rather than foster the fellowship and communion of all souls (of fellowmen and animals) as a kindred, he remains stagnant but satisfied in the human first stage of consciousness, which is self-consciousness. The love of self or self-consciousness keeps man eternally bound to the human form, forever a captive of the human expression mode, 'that opened not the house of his prisoners'. It is against the eternal law of forms and reforms for souls to be continually bound to an expression mode.

The second stage of human consciousness is the group or soul consciousness. To achieve this, one has to lose consciousness of self, and see himself as part of the whole, thus the need of the whole is more important than his individual need. The group or soul life is like building a city, nation, or temple; whereby nature is brought under one umbrella. It is the diverse, but synergized energy of the whole, working in oneness. This is living the heavenly or celestial culture on earth. When our words and actions epitomizes heavenly culture; if we can bring 'heaven on earth' through our lifestyle, we are 'preaching the acceptable year (time) of the Lord', through the obedience of the first and second great commandment. It is only through the attainment of group consciousness that we can have a relationship with our Godhood in Eden (delight). Without proper understanding of the first and second great commandment from the spiritual perspective, one cannot have a rich soul life and be properly initiated into the group stage of consciousness. (Read my thesis: the first and the second great commandment)

Without group or agape love, one cannot be universally conscious. To be God-conscious is to be universally conscious. Please, let us use judgment here: how can one be God conscious, without being group conscious. Lucifer (the ego driven man) wants to move from the consciousness of self and the embracement of materiality straightaway to God or universal consciousness without attaining group consciousness, which is the Christ life. This is what the story of Lucifer is all about. He sits pompously in an imaginary and delusionary throne in heaven, a dream that can never be realized. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground. For group consciousness (Christ life) or universal consciousness (Godhood) to be attained, Lucifer (the human ego), the proponent of self-consciousness must fall asleep. Soul life or group life is the mediator between our ego life (self-consciousness) and our spiritual life (God consciousness). Although self-consciousness comes first, man must attain soul or group consciousness in order to attain universal or God-consciousness.

Let us see why Lucifer (the ego-driven man) cannot achieve his weird fantasy:

(1) Weakens the nations: To be self-absorbed weakens the nations (groups). In the book of Acts, the fifth chapter; Ananais and Sapphira were rejected from the group because they were still self-centered and couldn't properly fit in the group. Scripture says, 'they all did things in one accord in Solomon's porch' Acts 5:12. Solomon means 'peaceable or perfect'. To paraphrase, this statement may mean: "they all did things in one accord in peace and in a perfect atmosphere". There was no room for self-centeredness. The self dies when a group (city or nation) is built; the death of Ananais and Sapphira represents the inability of the ego to function properly within the group. One cannot attain God-consciousness if he has not attained this stage.

(2) That made the world as a wilderness (barren or empty), and destroyed the cities thereof: The destruction of cities here connotes the total disregard of the ideals of a group. The kings of Babylon as described above oppress and enslave people spiritually and socially. They believe the masses' Will should succumb to theirs, and if they cannot have their way, they become assertively manipulative, and may perpetrate evil. Isaiah 14:6; He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger. When the Lord intervenes, 'He breaks the staff of the wicked and the sceptre of the rulers'. Isaiah 14:5. And then, the spiritual and illuminated (the house of Israel), after much sorrow and hard bondage shall take up a witty, dramatic proverb about the arrogance and haughty pride of the Babylonian king. They shall sing and say, 'How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirred up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee'. Isaiah 14:4-11. This wittified, dramatic proverb against the king of Babylon continues onto the twentieth verse of Isaiah 14 and is symbolic of any written work, artistic or intellectual creation; that contributes in exposing the mechanism and deceits through which these kings of Babylon control the mind and livelihood of the masses.

Consciousness is a necessary prerequisite for every living soul. Microorganisms, the lowest forms of biological life begin the state of animal consciousness and the highest form of biological life is the human life. Although animals are not self-conscious, human as the head of the animal kingdom has attained self-consciousness. Through the activities of the ego, man can use the word, 'I'. The next stage of consciousness for man is group consciousness. This form of consciousness is a chief prerequisite if one must become a member of the celestial or heavenly bodies. The heavenly stars (cells in the body of God) are group conscious and some of these stars are soul beings. Through group activities, individuality merges into collectivity, at the same time conscious of individuality. When we refer to the life of the stars, we say, 'celestial kingdom' just like the life of animals can be referred to as, 'the animal kingdom'. The highest form of life in the celestial kingdom is the Sun; therefore the Sun is the King of the celestial kingdom. If we say the Sun is not a star, depending on the context: we can also say, man is not an animal. The spiritual journey of every animal is self-consciousness but the spiritual journey of man is celestial consciousness. Man can attain celestial life through being group conscious in the human form. The consciousness of the celestial kingdom is to the human kingdom’s sub-consciousness. The highest form of consciousness is the God or universal consciousness, only attainable through celestial consciousness. The dominance (or throne) of man in the animal Kingdom is the consciousness of self; this achievement makes man the King of the animal Kingdom. Now, the figment of Lucifer's imagination does not want anything to do with achieving a celestial life or the group life; rather, in delusionary grandeur, he wants to jump the group or celestial life, seeing it as inferior. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. An ego driven man does not embrace altruism, yet he sees himself as god over others. He intends to inherit the kingdom of heaven to be with God, a co-heir to God’s throne. What a pity! This is what contemporary religion teaches. How can you go to heaven without the knowledge of the celestial world? Religion teaches only that stars are objects that beautify the works of God. The sun provides light during the day and the moon by night; is that all? Religious teachings imply mostly that man is superior to celestial bodies. If man says he is superior to the celestial bodies, let him teach how to live satisfactorily with fellowmen without an adverse effect on himself (group consciousness); also, let man teach how to take care of everyone in a group satisfactorily without any complaints from the members of the group and an adverse effect on himself (Solar system). I have defined to you what group consciousness and the solar system really means. Group consciousness is merging one's consciousness with the consciousness of a group without losing the consciousness of self, yet with no adverse effect on self and the group. To understand why the Sun is the King of the celestial Kingdom, study its responsibilities as the head of the solar system. The planets rely solely on the sun for sustenance, yet the Sun is unaffected adversely with such an enormous responsibility. The planets in turn learn and mimic the ways of the celestial king (Sun) by nursing smaller stars like the comets, moon and asteroids. Isn't it funny that self-centered man, who kills animals (soul kindred) for food, instead of nursing them to be self-conscious like himself, wants to inherit the kingdom of heaven (God consciousness): but he ignores the consciousness of the group, the path through which he can inherit the kingdom of heaven? The ego driven man, still battling with self-inflicted problems like social caste, wars, intolerance, jealousy and strife would like to inherit the kingdom of heaven still embracing these ill practices: 1 Corinthians 6:1-9; Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints (Christed ones) shall judge (discern the ways of) the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know we not that we shall judge angels (group spirits without souls)? how much more things that pertain to life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge, who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because you go to law one with the other. Why do you rather not take wrong? Why do ye rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that is your brethren. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Oh, how I wish above all things that spiritual matters are taught properly to church goers, especially those who believe they are Christian although this is true in a nominal sense. Religious folks want to go to heaven but ignore the path to heaven, which is the consciousness of the celestial bodies. The ego says arrogantly, ‘I will sit (preside) also upon the mount (height) of the congregation (group), in the sides of the north (highest)’: To sit or preside is to act as president or chairperson; to exercise authority or control; to be the most powerful person or the one everyone else obeys. The fantasy of the ego driven man is to sit also (like God) upon the mount. Mount as used here is the elevation or magnificence of the seat of power the ego driven man wishes to sit on, when presiding over the celestial bodies: just like a self-absorbed two year old, suffering from delusion of grandeur may be under a false impression that he needs not grow to wear the shoes of a president, rather he is the president of the world. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. To understand the arrogance of Lucifer, let us see God in our mind-eye as a mind all conscious organism within the body system must obey; just like our body system obeys us through the mental process, and then Lucifer (self-conscious man) as a conscious but infinitesimal microbe living on the cell in the body, whose value or measurement of consciousness is so minute that it would be an aberration to compare its consciousness to that of a cell. Now, this infinitesimal microbe would like to become the personality who owns the mind that controls the entire body system, but doesn't want to become the cell, although it lives on the cell. If we think the earth is not conscious and alive, we should ask ourselves, 'why does living things grow on earth?' Can a dead thing produce a living thing? The planetary bodies (stars) are the cells we (humans and animals) live on as infinitesimal, but divine consciousness. The planetary bodies also are in the body of God. In God we live; in God we move and in God, we have our being, for we are the offspring of God; Acts 17:28,29. The next stage of consciousness for this infinitesimal microbe is the cell (star) life, and not to exalt his dominance or throne, which is his human consciousness above the stars of God. Of a fact, the celestial bodies are superior in consciousness to man. Man is given a seeing and hearing aid for judgment of sight and sound, alongside the mind to support his judgment; but stars rely only on the mind for judgment, yet they are superior to men in terms of conscious judgment. Man needs a mouth to communicate, and sometimes he gestures with his hands for effective communication; the stars communicate effectively without mouth and hands, neither do they need noses for breathe, yet they are alive. A man who wants to use his mind effectively should learn the ways and culture of the celestial bodies. Speaking of the Christ, the scripture in Isaiah 11:3 say, 'and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears'. After ascending and letting go of the human form and consciousness, Jesus said, 'I am the bright and morning star', depicting that he has transcended the consciousness of man (old self) and now has the consciousness of the celestial bodies (new self). We, as Christian are urged to cast off the old self by putting on the Christ's nature, 'therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new'. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Having put on the Christ's nature, the scriptures assures us that we shall be caught up together with them (other stars) in the clouds to meet the Lord, who has already ascended into the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Folks, the abode of the celestial bodies are the sky or the cloud. When we look up, at the sky or clouds at night, what do we see? 2 Peter 1:19; We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that we take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. The stars are always in the sky even during the day, but the night reveals them. Have you ever looked up the sky and seen a comet coming (Comets begin the celestial life, just like micro-organisms begin the biological life)? If you have; you have seen the Christ coming in his glory! If self-consciousness is the throne of man in the animal kingdom, the white throne of Christ is the comet life, the beginning of celestial consciousness. 1 Corinthians 15:48-49; As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Please note: Heavenly bodies also mean celestial bodies, please look up your dictionary for confirmation. I know religious folks, you are boiling right now, but see (open and use your mind eye): the truth tastes bitter at first until we embrace it! Only the wise can see and embrace the truth for what it is. Daniel 12:3; And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
