Lucifer: The Light Bearer

"Day star, morning star." a name for Venus, from Greek Phosphorus, or Eosphoros. Lucifer is from Latin: lux, lucis, luce, luci, and lucu: “light”; and fer, fero: “to bear, carry, support, lift, hold, take up”; these synthesize literally as “Bearer of Light.”

While modern Christians believe the name Lucifer is a name for Satan, "the devil," the chief architect of evil, the reality is that before Milton ("Paradise Lost," 17th century), Lucifer had never been a name of the devil. One of the early Popes of Rome bore that name, and there was even a Christian sect in the fourth century which was called the Luciferians.

The name Lucifer is not in the Hebrew Bible. It was introduced into translations of the Bible (and subsequent doctrines) by a bishop named Jerome, who translated what is known as the Latin Vulgate. When he reached the book of Isaiah, there is a passage describing a king of Babylon:

"How are you fallen from heaven, O Shining One, son of Dawn!" - Isaiah 14:12

At that time Jerome was battling politically against a Christian bishop named Lucifer,  so he translated the Hebrew phrase הילל בן־שחר Hillel ben Schahar (Shining One, son of Dawn) as "Lucifer." Thus, in modern Bibles, it reads:

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!" (King James version)

Although the original passage has nothing to do with Satan, "the devil," this minor change had massive impact on the interpretation of Christian doctrine and the now widespread misunderstanding of the name Lucifer.

Lucifer, the "carrier of the light," is the equivilent to the Greek myth of Prometheus, the divinity who brings the life-giving fire to humanity, yet is punished for this act, and is only freed when that fire incarnates as the hero (Herakles, the bodhisattva; i.e. Jesus, Krishna, Moses, etc) who liberates the Christic fire from its bondage in the stone (the mountain / Mercury / sex).

The fall of Lucifer symbolizes to how because of our defects and mistakes the divine fire within us has fallen into degeneration and must be cleansed of impurity. 

"...in antiquity and reality, Lucifer, or Luciferus, is the name of the angelic Entity presiding over the light of truth as over the light of the day. In the great Valentinian gospel Pistis Sophia (§ 361) it is taught that of the three Powers emanating from the Holy names of the Three [[Tridunameis]], that of Sophia (the Holy Ghost according to these gnostics -- the most cultured of all), resides in the planet Venus or Lucifer." —H.P. Blavatsky

"We need to whitewash the devil with maximum expedited urgency. This is only possible through fighting against our own selves, by dissolving all those conjunctions of psychological aggregates that constitute the “I,” the “myself,” the “itself.” Only by dying in ourselves can we whitewash the brass and contemplate the Sun of the Middle Night (the Father). This signifies that we must defeat all temptations and eliminate all of the inhuman elements that we carry within (anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, laziness, gluttony, etc, etc, etc.). A trainer in the psychological gymnasium of human existence is always required. The divine Daimon, quoted many times by Socrates, is the very shadow of our own individual Spirit. He is the most extraordinary psychological trainer that each one of us carries within. He delivers us into temptation with the purpose of training us, teaching us. Only in this way is it possible for the precious gems of virtue to sprout from our psyche. Now I question myself and I question you. Where is the evil of Lucifer? The results speak for themselves. If there are no temptations there are no virtues. Virtues are more grandiose when temptations are stronger. What is important is not to fall into temptation. That is why we have to pray to our Father, saying, “Lead us not into temptation.”

The Power of the Human Touch

they slept on the edge of sleep
as they caressed each others bodies
he kissed her softly
on the nape of her neck
she pulled him in closer
wanting to absorb all of him
it's the simple things
in life
that keeps a man and woman
under the covers
exploring their love
as if their bodies are road maps

7 Things That Affect Your Vibrational Frequency

Vibration in quantum physics means that "Everything is Energy, Energy is Everything!" We are beings that vibrate at certain frequencies . Each vibration is equivalent to a feeling and in the "vibrational" world, there are only two types of vibrations, the "positive" and the "negative." Any feeling/emotion causes you to emit a vibration that can either be positive or negative....

Based on the frequency you emit, you attract things, people, circumstances and everything else vibrating at that same frequency. Like attracts like! So if you are radiating in a negative energy zone, you will only attract negativity in your life. E.g. If you feel sick and keep living that thought and expanding it, you will continue to be sick. However, if you tell your self that you are fine, you will get better faster and any medication what you might take will have a far better effect then, when you will be depressed about being unwell. Many studies and researches have been done on the same and Doctors always talk that the will of the patient will define his/her rate of recovery more than the medication he/she is subjected to.

Below is a list of 7 Things, which effect your vibrational frequency:

1. THE THOUGHTS  Every thought emits a frequency into the Universe and that frequency reverberates and rebounds towards its origin, then in the case, if you have negative thoughts like discouragement, sadness, anger, fear, jealousy, hatred all of those turn towards you and you get entangled in the web of negative thoughts. That is the reason why it is imperative that you take care of the quality of your thoughts and learn to cultivate only positive thoughts and let go of any negative thought that comes in your head before it takes you into a downward spiral.

2. THE COMPANY  The people around you directly influence your vibrational frequency . If you surround yourself with happy, positive, committed and determined people, you will also start vibrating at the same frequency however, in case you surround yourself with complaining, cursing and pessimistic people, be careful, you will become the same! They will effect your frequency and as a consequence prevent you from making the Law of Attraction work in your favour.

3. THE MUSIC  Music is a very powerful tool. If you only listen to music that speaks of death, betrayal, sadness, abandonment, all that will influence what you vibrate. Pay attention to the lyrics of the music you listen to, it may be decreasing your vibrational frequency. And remember: You draw into your life exactly what you vibrate. Listen to positive and peppy songs, which lift you up and take your vibrational frequency higher.

4. THINGS YOU SEE  When you watch programs/videos/movies that deal with misfortune, death, betrayal, etc. your brain accepts that as a reality and releases a whole set of toxin chemicals in your body, causing your vibrational frequency to be affected. Watch things that do you good and help you vibrate at a higher frequency.

5. THE ENVIRONMENT Whether at home or at work, if you spend much of your time in a disorganised and a dirty environment, this will also affect your vibrational frequency. Improve what is around you, organise and clean your environment. Show the Universe that you are apt to receive much more. Take care of what you already have. Even the Hindu Shastras say that Laxmi (the Goddess of Wealth) resides where there is cleanliness. All good things will happen to you in a clean environment.

6. THE WORD  If you tend to complain or speak badly about things and people  this affects your vibrational frequency. To maintain your high frequency it is essential that you eliminate the habit of complaining and speaking badly about others. Then avoid making a drama/story and victimise yourself. Take responsibility for the choices of your life and completely STOP Complaining, Blaming or Justifying!

7. THE GRATITUDE  Gratitude positively affects your vibrational frequency  That is a habit that you should incorporate right now into your life. Start to say Thank You for everything you have, what you generally take for granted, for all the good things and those that you consider not good, thank the universe for all the experiences that you have lived. Gratitude opens the doors for good things to flow positively in your life.                                                           Reference~ Parmeet Singh Sood 

When I Look At You

your face is growing on me
when i look at you
my insides glow
my heart swells up
and i think to myself
this is a face
i could get use to seeing
everyday
for the rest of my life

Inside Your Walls

standing inside your walls
i can see the stains
from your blood and tears
it's very touching
you've let me in
and it's also sad
that you felt you had to build
these walls to begin with
as i look around in this space
with its empty translation
i want to write down
new words
that give your pain meaning
and be the one person
that brings down your walls
no need to get scared darling
i'm not going anywhere
there's plenty of time
for me and you
to rewrite your history
with a happy ending
of how you finally met a great guy
by surviving your shit

Breaking Old Patterns to Change Your Life

people can break you. abusive men and women can permanently change you and leave you with wounds that you'll wear the rest of your life. don't believe anyone that says you'll heal and feel whole again. the truth is you'll spend every day for the rest of your life healing your heart. people hurt others, some unintentionally, others intentionally with malice. when you break the pattern of choosing unconscious men or women as partners and friends, you can begin to build the life and relationships you desire. but this doesn't come easy. it takes effort and commitment to better yourself. you must know your inner state and become cognizant of your soul, otherwise life will seem cruel and unkind. if you commit to working on yourself, your life will change for the better. don't play the victim. conquer yourself, belong to yourself, love yourself and watch your world transform and magic happen.

This Body Is Not Me

This body is not me.
I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries.
I have never been born,
and I have never died.

Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,
manifestations from my wondrous true mind.

Since before time, I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors through which
we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey.
Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.

So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye, to meet again soon.

We meet today.
We meet again tomorrow.
We will meet at the source every moment.
We meet each other in all forms of life.
