In the Light of Truth
Volume 3 - Chapter 35 - The Mystery of Lucifer (A small part)
Both the principle of "letting oneself go" and of temptation are so closely connected that
temptation must without doubt precede "letting oneself go". The latter is thus a direct
following and spreading of the Lucifer principle.
The true physician of the soul does not need to tear down. He recognises the slumbering
good qualities, awakens them and then builds upon them. The true principle brings about a
transformation of wrong desires through spiritual understanding!
The application of his loveless principle, however, quite naturally seperated 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, 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 affects 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 encite 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 on it voluntarily!
In fact Lucifer can only lure! But man as such stands more firmly in material Creation than he does, therefore with much greater security and power than any influence Lucifer could ever yield over him. Thus every man is so well protected that it is a tenfold shame upon him if he permits himself to be enticed by this power, which is a relatively weaker power than his! He should remember that Lucifer himself stands outside the material sphere, while he himself is firmly rooted in familiar soil!
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. One single, serious volition suffices to make an army of them vanish without a trace, providing their enticements meet with no response or approval to which they can cling.
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 increasinglysupport the wrong principle through their present behaviour, and the greater part of them will have to perish!
It is impossible for any human spirit to fight a battle against Lucifer himself for the simple reason that, owing to the difference in nature of their species, it cannot penetrate to him. The human spirit can only come in contact with those who have fallen through the wrong principle because they are basically of the same species.
The origin of Lucifer requires that only one 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 propesied 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. It is the fulfilment of the promise given in Parsifal. Lucifer has wrongly used the "Holy Spear", the Power, and through his principle inflicted a painful wound with it upon humanity and thus the spear of Spiritual Substantiality. The Spear will be wrested from him in this combat. Then, in the "proper hands", that is, by applying the true Grail principle of pure, severe love, it will heal the wound previously inflicted by it while in the wrong hand, that is, through its wrong use.
Through the Lucifer principle, that is, through the wrong application of Divine Power, which is the same as the "Holy Spear" being wielded in the wrong hands, a wound that cannot heal has been inflicted upon the Sphere of Spiritual Substantiality. In the legend this thought is portrayed in striking manner, for the happening does resemble an open wound that will not heal.
It should be realised that the human spirits, as unconscious spirit germs or sparks, leap or flow over the lowest region of Spiritual Substantiality into material Creation! The expectation is that these outflowing particles, having been awakened and developed to a persobal consciousness during their wanderings in the World of Matter, will return thereafter to the Sphere of Spiritual Substantiality in order to complete their cycles. This is similar to the circulation of the blood in the physical body.
The Lucifer principle, however, diverts a large portion of this circulating spiritual stream. Thus the neccessary cycle cannot be closed, the result being a weakening as from the continual draining of an open wound!
When now the "Holy Spear", ie, the Divine Power, is wielded in the proper hand, acting according to the Will of the Creator and showing the right way to spiritual substance which constitutes an animating factor in Matter, thereby leading it upwards to the point of its origin, to the luminous Kingdom of God the Father, the spiritual substance will no longer becaome lost, but will flow back to its origin as blood does to the heart. As a result, the exuding wound, which up to then weakened the Sphere of Spiritual Substantiality, will be closed! Thus the healing can only take place through the same spear as inflicted the wound!
To achieve this, however, the Spear must first be wrested from Lucifer and come into the proper hand, and this takes place in the personal combat between Parsifal and Lucifer!
The further battles which extend into the Etheral and Gross material Worlds are but the after effects of this one great combat, which must bring about the promised binding of Lucifer and herald the beginning of the Millenium! They mean the extermination of the consequences of the Lucifer principle!
