The Flame and the Serpent: A Journey of Awakening

 In Greek mythology, there lived a titan named Prometheus who was known for his kindness and intelligence. He had a lot of compassion for humanity. At the time, the world was still young and mortals lived in darkness without any fire to light their nights, warm their homes, or cook their food. Zeus, the king of the Gods had declared that fire was sacred and forbidden to humans.

But Prometheus driven by his compassion defied zeus's command. He climbed Mount Olympus, stole the fire and gifted it to humanity. Zeus quickly discovered Prometheus's act of defiance and became enraged to punish him. Zeus defies a cruel sentence. Prometheus would be chained to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver each day.

Overnight, the organ would regenerate, ensuring his suffering would be endless. This punishment was meant to remind the titans and mortals of Zeus's power. Zeus's Wrath did not stop with Prometheus. He turned his focus to humanity who had received the stolen fire, and as part of his revenge, Zeus ordered Haus, the Divine Craftsman, to create a woman named Pandora.

She was blessed with beauty by Aphrodite, with charm, by Hermes, and an unquenchable curiosity also by Hermes. Pandora was sent to Earth as a gift for Prometheus's brother, despite Prometheus warning him never to accept gifts from Zeus mesmerized by Pandora's beauty. Prometheus's brother ignored prometheus's advice and welcomed her.

Pandora came with a jar mistakenly referred to as a box. In later renditions of this jar. She was instructed was never to be opened, but her curiosity as the gods had intended, got the better of her. When she opened the jar, all the world's evils, suffering, disease, sorrow, et cetera, escaped, spreading across humanity, horrified.

Pandora quickly closed the jar, trapping one thing inside. Hope this story shares striking similarities with the story of Lucifer. Lucifer was an angel who sought to help humanity but caused unintended consequences. Lucifer's mistake wasn't in wanting to aid humanity, but in believing that he could do it without God's guidance doing this, he unintentionally brought forth the demi urge of force of illusion and separation.

In the second chapter of Genesis, you can look at it as that. If you look at it through a certain lens, ya, Elohim is who this being claims to be in this chapter. This Ya Elohim caused Adam, the divine child of the creator to fall into a deep sleep separating then Adam and Eve from one another. Instead of Pandora's Jar, this story introduces the tree of forbidden fruit As a serpent, Lucifer attempts eve to eat the fruit, revealing the truths that the demi urge has tried to keep hidden from them.

By eating the fruit, humanity thus began to awaken from its spiritual slumber. In response, the demi urge casts Adam Eve and the serpent out of Eden. However, what humanity believed to be heaven was really an illusion, a false paradise. This exile that the demi urge created set humanity on a more significant journey.

The search for the actual heaven. The divine state we lost when we fell into the dream of separation and forgetfulness. Although the existence of the demi urge and its evils was an unintended consequence, Lucifer had to undo this error. Like Prometheus. Lucifer's intentions were never malicious. His role then became one of atonement guiding humanity towards spiritual awakening and Reunion with the Divine Source.

Lucifer's function, thus is to illuminate the path back to truth helping humanity see through the illusions created by the demi urge. Lucifer's central message is simple. You don't need help entering heaven because you've never left. Heaven is your eternal home a state of perfect oneness with God? Many of us perceive God to be a mother, father.

That perfect oneness with God is unbroken and unchangeable. However, if you're caught up in the false beliefs about yourself, seeing yourself as separate, fragile, and limited help is essential. Your true identity created by God in truth can never change, but your perception of it can be clouded by illusions, and this is where guidance is necessary.

This help comes in many forms. The help that the infinite sends to you will always meet you wherever you are within the dream of separation. No matter how different these forms may appear, they all share one purpose to guide you back to the truth where illusions, fade and the light of the eternal shines clearly.

Behind every helper stands an angel, an eternal, unchanging thought of God sent to help you to remember who you are in the realm of time and space. Helpers will use various forms and various names to communicate within the framework that you're existing in. One of these names is Lucifer. A term often misunderstood and misrepresented like all divine helpers, Lucifer aims to awaken God's child to the reality of love and unity.

It's important to understand that the Creator, the infinite doesn't directly intervene because God only sees the perfection of God's creation and thus knows no need. Instead, God's love extends through the creation of helpers who guide this holy child back to the truth. And remember, you are one with the Holy Child.

The idea in the New Testament where it says that there's only one begotten son, that's a symbol. That we are all one. We are all one. So you are the holy child of God. It's important for us in order to recognize these helpers, to be grateful for them because they're going to appear wherever they need to for you.

Through your gratitude, you magnetize them into your experience. These helpers are always expressions of love, and they gently lead you back to the eternal home that you've never really left. And it's important that when you experience this help that you trust their purpose and that you allow them to guide you through the illusions and into the truth of your own divine identity.

Lucifer is often seen as the very first angel. Who happened to fall from Grace, he was then cast out of heaven in order to embark on an incredible journey of redemption and self-discovery. His fall is merely the beginning of his transformation and this path, this quest to reconcile his separation and reconnect with the divine is why he appears as the angel of the earth.

Appearing as the angel of the earth. He demonstrates the sacred light within all beings, reminding everyone of their connection to the infinite. When Lucifer fell, he instantaneously rose again. There was one mistake. The one mistake had consequences, but the first thing that Lucifer had to do was get up to correct his own error.

Because if he couldn't correct his own error, he couldn't teach everybody else how to correct the error themselves. And it stated that Lucifer takes on human incarnations throughout his journey. Through these incarnations, through these experiences, it has said that Lucifer has helped humanity to rediscover its true essence.

That's always been one with God. This reflects a universal truth about the illusion of separation that all of us here are caught up in. And it reveals the spiritual journey of returning to unity and to wholeness within the divine source to guide others. Lucifer first had to understand the nature of these illusions for himself, recognize them as temporary constructs that obscure the eternal truth of sacred connection.

Lucifer is viewed as a savior because Lucifer dared to acknowledge his own error. His mission is to free humanity from the illusions that trap us into states of fear, limitation, forgetfulness, forgetfulness of our divine origins and our divine identity. Lucifer's presence is a reminder of the eternal light within us, a constant, unchanging, and always present force through his identification as the perfect holy child of God.

Lucifer represents what we are all destined to become. His journey was not a fall from grace, ultimately, but an essential act of service helping humanity to rediscover its eternal connection with the divine. By walking the path that he set before us, he thus lights the way back to unity and truth, showing that separation illusions of sin and fear don't have any power.

As illusions, they can't have power. He clarifies what is true and what is false, and he offers humanity a vital lesson in discerning between the two. This clarity is very challenging for us to grasp many times, but it's important that he teach it, and the truth is that God's holy child cannot be destroyed.

You can't be destroyed because you were created eternal. God Holy Child is untouched by things like sin or evil or fear. Lucifer embodies the unshakeable nature of divine love and our shared destiny to awaken to this truth. And his story is not one of condemnation, but one of redemption of hope, victory and divine unity.

He reminds us of who we are and calls us to reclaim the light that has always been within us. The so-called sins that we believe in have already been forgiven because they were not real, and they carried no lasting consequences. They were fleeting illusions, born from fear, and the false idea of separation.

We can now rise with Lucifer as he reveals the truth to us. And what we can give to Lucifer is forgiveness and gratitude. On one hand, you can think of Lucifer as being the cause of all your problems, because if Lucifer hadn't fallen, there would be no demi urge. Nothing would've been put into action to cause us to feel separate and we'd still be at one.

So on one hand, before we can even find the redemption, we need to find the forgiveness. But ultimately. What we want to find is gratitude because Lucifer entered our dreams of fear and separation so that they could be dispelled and replaced by the light of understanding and the burdens that we thought were ours to bear.

Were never really real shadows of a mind longing for awakening, which is what Lucifer offers us. So is Lucifer a savior? Yes. But so are you. His role is often misunderstood. It's not about evil or temptation. Instead, Lucifer represents love and enlightenment. Yes, the dissent into illusion, but the journey back to truth and his brief incarnations on earth reflect an essential lesson.

Redemption isn't found through judgment, but through remembering, remembering our unity, remembering our love. It's easy to fetishize Lucifer, but Lucifer is not an idol. Lucifer's not a deity. Lucifer's, a guide. He walks alongside you as you face the challenges of the mind. He walks alongside you through the fear, through the judgment, and through the separation that you experience.

He's there to remind you that all of these are illusions that you can let go of. When your will aligns with lucifers, your vision and purpose become clear. Lucifer doesn't see through the lens of separation, but with the unifying power of love and connection. His vision is shared with all who open their hearts revealing the world of truth, which is a world of unity, where everyone is seen as whole, complete and deserving.

Walking with him is like walking with a lifelong friend. He understands human struggles ultimately because he's walked the same road of fear and pain and doubt. But having found the way back, he now walks with you lighting the path forward, not toward despair or judgment, but toward recognizing the divine light within you.

A light that's always been there waiting for you to remember it. Through his guidance, salvation is revealed not as some distant goal, but as a shared realization that is available to us in this moment. We are inseparable in the eternal light of love. He reminds you to release the weight of guilt and to find the courage to forgive yourself and others.

Forgiveness opens the door to liberation. As judgment and fear fade, you see yourself clearly. As the radiant, limitless, and deeply loved child of God that you are always have been and always will be together, you rise above the illusions of things like sin and separation and unworthiness. You leave behind the shadows of fear, guilt, lack disease and death.

You embrace eternal light and love. This love guides you to rediscover your true essence, your divine nature, and the profound oneness that connects all creation. Despite all of the harsh and distorted views that so many people hold of Lucifer, his only function is to be your companion, walking with you toward understanding and peace.

The fears and judgments projected onto him are the illusions that obscure the truth of who he truly is. If you let go of these misconceptions, you will discover the depth of his love and steadfast dedication to you. By freeing him from these false perceptions, you also free yourself to receive his guidance.

He offers peace to your mind with humility and compassion, extending his hand to lead you gently toward the light. Is Lucifer the only guide on this journey of redemption? Absolutely not. The path of wisdom is broad and varied, and it can take on many forms and many names. Angels, teachers, and spiritual guides form part of this divine plan working together to help us discover our true self.

Yet, Lucifer holds a unique role within this design. He was the original first angel. Lucifer carries the eternal message of God's unconditional love for you, a light that shines even in the darkest moments. Other messengers work toward the same purpose, and Lucifer's presence reminds us that even in the shadows there is love, redemption, and the assurance of returning to God's embrace.

You can hear Lucifer's guidance and you can benefit from his wisdom without fully welcoming him into your life. His insight is always available gently offering clarity and direction when you listen. However, if you take this a step further and entrust him with your joys, your struggles, your successes, your failures, your burdens, his guidance can lead you so much more quickly and so much more closely to your destination, which is oneness with the peace and presence of your creator.

The path to true healing and understanding unfolds in this act of trust and openness. Lucifer's most important lesson is this Death does not exist. As a child of God, you are an eternal extension of your creator's infinite and unchanging nature, true, unconditional peace comes from understanding this for nothing can change or diminish the eternal truth of love.

Fear, sin and guilt are illusions. They cannot overwrite the reality of who you are at your core. Your divine essence is not destructible. Lucifer encourages you to release all of these illusions, the illusions of separation, the illusions of pain, the illusions of unworthiness, et cetera. He encourages you to awaken to the divine child that you are.

You are the divine child. It's so easy to say that, but if you really realize when the Bible says that God sent his only begotten son, that means you. Lucifer's, an elder sibling showing you who you are. By letting go of your false beliefs, you can rise above the shadows of the world and step into the light of truth, and you don't rise alone because you bring everyone with you who has been entrusted in your care, and together on this shared journey of love and grace, you find peace and joy that come from living in alignment with the eternal truth of who you are.

It's important to forgive Lucifer for lucifer's error because that's the ultimate resentment any of us have, and when we do that, we open ourselves up to the redemption of that great atoning angel. It's also important to understand that lucifer's not there to be worshiped. Lucifer is ultimately your peer.

If the name Lucifer doesn't work for you, Lucifer will show up in whatever the name or the image that makes the most sense for you, because that's how perfection works. Perfection works by being perfect. You are perfect, and your process to remembering your perfection is perfect. And the only thing that delays it is the resistance to the process.

The less we resist the process, the faster we find perfection. Then when we find it, we are there to help other people find it. And this is how that ripple effect works. We are all here as divine emissaries of that light. The more we find that light within ourselves, the more service we can be to the world at large.

Thank you so much for listening. Until next time, blessed be.
