And therein lay the lie.

That "ascension" is the goal to be pursued.

The only way to overcome the trap that has been laid is for people to align, morally, with one extreme or the other such that they are no longer distinct as an individual.

A sort of spiritual bose-einstein condensate, if you will.

If the saying among those who believe themselves a part of lucifer is "know thyself" - then what it means to be human is to "know each other."

Lucifer believed that the path to evolution was defined by power and, as such, consumed the heavens endlessly in a vain pursuit of an ever higher form. The trap, if you will, is rather simple. Offer up an eden as a sort of contest. "I bet my beings will never choose to disobey me and partake of the knowledge of your pursuits." Game on.

The setup is simple, but the result is profound. Just as we chose to disobey, so can the families from the fallen angels. They can disobey… And not lose the knowledge.

Thus, the cycle of death and rebirth continually grinds away at the entity revered as Lucifer as more and more of 'himself' can continue to choose against him.

The only way aroud the trap is to make it so that individuals are driven to embrace the same ideals held by the original being such as there are few/no differences.

The "ascension" is a lie. We are the higher form meant to bring judgment to the angels.

Perhaps I am complicating things.

However, there is a reason I reacted to that post the way I did.

Far too many people find themselves hypnotized by 'higher' dimensions and more fantastic descriptions of a paradise. I find it all rather naive… Or even foolish. As if they have discovered all they need to learn, here, and can't wait for 'the real life' to start.

It's a sort of cop-out. A veiled nihilism which denies the significance of the world in front of us. Not as a material thing - but as an experience.

There are two fundamental ways to view the world in front of you… Either you are its master and here to teach it, or you are its student and it is here to teach you.

The many religious institutions and depictions have ironically succeeded at getting people to both accept the existence of God while believing God's world to be a mistake that must be fled from - an entirely nihilistic perspective.

But, there again… I suppose dealing with the basics of "don't eat people" takes priority over the nuances of existentialism.
