One
of the greatest mistakes of humanity is to let time erase the past. Each culture
which appears and become dominant, try to impose its dogmas to others, try to
make the wisdom of others peoples be forgotten when they do not try to destroy
them completely, distorting it to their own interest, instead of sharing them,
improving their knowledge. However, the fear of the new and the different is
what leads humanity to act this way, seeing that they are the main cause of
queries and doubts about what was know previously.
Many
of this wisdom managed to survive through oral transmission, while all the
writings were destroyed, what allowed us to know their existence. Lucifer is one
of the main examples of these distortions that have created roots in our
society, and it seems quite impossible to make it come back to its original
position. More than the simple misusing of name, all the existing idea behind
this archetype was radically transformed, from the god of illumination to one
being that is the absolute evil personification and lord of darkness.
It
is important to remark that the expression “god of illumination” here do not
correspond to the inseparable and vulgar idea of god and bad, but to a meaning
much more sacred, of one archetype which represents the knowledge, wisdom
and excellence, though which we will find the key to find our divined state.
