Lucifer is simply the concept of intellect
Representing the illumination (the light) of the minds of man
And that through the use of intellect “we shall be as gods”
But no part can be greater than the whole
And finite man cannot rule over finite man
But the illusion can be wrapped around those who choose ignorance (darkness), and those who choose not to use their intellect will be ruled over by those they perceive as gods
Or something to that effect
