towards Self Divinity and freedom. Lucifer is within this context an anti-cosmic Prometheus thatbrings the Forbidden Fire of the gods (Black Light) to those who through their own pneumaticnature can comprehend it and for them illuminates the hidden path to acausality and the eternalpower beyond the shackles of the finite and clay-born ego.Lucifer is the 'Firebringer' who with the acosmic light of the Deus Absconditus arouses the flamesof spirit and awakens the elect from the illusory slumber of life, death and rebirth and thus acts asthe adversary of the suppressing natural order of the cosmos. The Firebringer is consequently hewho separates the elect of the acosmic gods who have tasted the fruits of forbiddenknowledge/gnosis from the spiritless masses and the force that makes the fire-born into the livinggates to the Black Light.Lucifer is therefore the antithesis and enemy of the limiting and stagnating structures of the cosmosand the eternal adversary of the powers that aim to limit the eternal and unbound becoming of theformless Azoth.

But both names represent the exact same essence, just seen from two differentperspectives. Lucifer-Satan is the Outer Eternal Black Fire whose reflection within the microcosmburns within us in the form of the Black Flame of Spirit.Lucifer and Satan are only two of the many words/names that are used within the Satanic/Luciferiantradition linked to the Firstborn of the Black Light.
