:Principals: There are various things to keep in mind when embarking apon the journey of Awakening or "Apotheosis". The Cardinal Principal to keep in mind above all else is to be patient. Nothing happens over night, and you will find that when your patient with yourself and your spiritual workings, your overall experience will be more meaningful and pleasant. There is of course times in every road when you are going to come across a few bumps, which are there for a reason. Suffering is sometimes required to grow, though should always be 'ascended' once the lesson from it has been learned. Needless suffering should not be tolerated, which is why the path of Awakening exists, so that one may become aware of their Creative Faculties and become a conscious Creator of their life. Also, one should always remember that each of us are in a constant state of creation. Every thought, word, and deed ripples out into the womb of the Kosmos, affecting and re-configuring the reality we each percieve. Never think for a moment that we are not creating. Be mindful of this faculty, or leave yourself open to have things Happen To You, rather then Through You. Along side of this is the appreciation that we are never in a state of completeness. Therefore, what we may 'believe' today, can very well change tommorow. Therefore, it is wise to remain maleable in one's beliefs and practices so that one does not get caught up in Dogmatism. Our constitution is of a dual nature. It consists of a human/lower Ego and a Spiritual/Higher Ego. The form each of these takes is very personal to the individual based on the progress made in the journey of Awakening. Through the application of Luciferian Principals and practices, one can ascend their consciousness from their lower self to their spiritual, higher self. The lower self exists in a state of 'darkness' or ignorance of our creative nature and its creations, while the higher self brings forth Illumination. Therefore, the Awakening of our Luciferic Center leads to the manifestation of 'Lucifer' within us, and thus we embody Lucifer in personality and creative potential. :The Luciferic Center: The Luciferic Center represents the Spiritual Core of a Human being. It is the essential 'center' of our creative constitution. This center is not a 'point' or 'part' of the body, rather it is the overall Constitution which is made up of our various realms of being, ranging from the gross, material body upwards into the subtle realms of our spirit. Every human being is creating, on an unconscious level. Choices are being made, thoughts are being had, words are being said, and actions are being done. Each of these aspects influences our surroundings and our environment. Our environment affects us directly and greatly influences our quality of life, and also the decisions/choices we shall make for the future. It is obvious to see the relationship between the Creator and the Created. The process of creation occurs on every level of our being. Our Thought is directly linked with our subtle aspect of our Spirit. Our word is linked with the Mind. And our actions are linked to our body. Each aspect of our constitution is linked to the others, and each influences the others in the same manner. Not every indvidual is aware of how each level of their being is affecting their creations. This is why many people find themselves in situations or environments which do not produce the experience they would like. On top of this dilemma, people are even farther from understanding exactly what is influencing these levels of being which are causing them to choose and create things that produce undesired effects. Through the application of meditation and alchemical transmutation, it is very possible for a human being to manifest a configuration of personality that shall allow for the manifestation of a desired experience. This process occurs in accordance with a fundamental law of existence. "As above, so below. As within, so Withouth". The inner nature of a thing is expressed in its outer nature. The health of our inner self is relfected in the health of our outer self or Body. The health of our creative faculties (or the level in which we consciously create) is reflected in how our outer experiences correlates with our Will. Through the Awakening of our Luciferic Center, we can finally take control of our creations. We can use our faculites of creation to mold a Spirituality that may benefit us rather then bring us dis-ease and suffering, and finally be able to express the Divinity which exists within, outwards.
:Meditations And Ritual: The use of meditation and ritual is key to undergoing the proper inner transformation required to Awaken ones Inner Luciferic Center. Meditation is important because it allows one to quiet the mind and take control of its thoughts, directing it towards the nature of our inner God, Lucifer. Typically, when the lower-self remains in 'control' of the creative process, the thoughts that travel through the mind are motivated by the urges and desires of the lower self's personality. These desires exist in direct contradiction to the will of our Higher, Luciferian Self. Therefore, the process of Awakening is also aimed towards the liberation of mundane desires and attatchments so that we may be free of various different forms of needless suffering. Ritual is an important aspect to the Awakening because it re-inforces ones Spirituality. The act of ritual represents, intimately, our Inner Lucifer. In many of the rituals which are presented in this site, Lucifer is evoked from within to manifest him/herself on the plane of experience in which we find ourselves. Rather then evoking outside beings and looking to them for aid, we search within and bring forth our inner God, Lucifer, to manifest the will of the Higher Self.
:The Process of Creation: The process of creation follows a simple flow from the thoughts of the spirit to the action of the body. The nature of one's spirtit or thoughts directly affects the nature of all subsequent aspects of our creative consititution. The stream of creation follows as such: Thought, Word, Deed. Our thoughts are connected with out spirit because the idea's and concepts are sprung from the infinite well of abstract consciousness known as the Kosmos. Our words are connected within the mind, because the words are the expressions of these idea's after being processed by the human intellect. Our actions are connected with the body, for the obvious reason that the idea's and words which arise within, our brought forth into the realm of experience through the actions of our body. From the abyss of the Kosmos, one may create anything their imagination can concoct. It is through the developement of the Spirits natural facutlities of Creation that a 'realm' of utopic experience is manifested, whatever that may be. The path of Awakening is geared towards unlocking the Will of the Divine, Luciferian Personality. The principals of Unity, Peace, Liberty, Compassion and Creation are developed within the individual, through the application of Luciferian ideals and principals of being. Therefore, the process of creation is two-fold. The Awakening leads to the ascension of the Higher Self's personality, becoming the dominant focus of ones creative process. This inner, alchemical transformation then leads to the expression of its Divinity on the outside world, manifesting the 'ideal' experience of Life. This entire journey of inner, and subsequent, outer transformation as a complete whole is known as "The Great Work". :The Wolf and the Sheep: The symbology behind the Wolf and the Sheep coincides with the dual-nature of our constitution. As said above, the human being is made up of a duality of personalities, a lower and higher self, each driven by their corresponding desires. The Wolf represents the Higher, Luciferian Configuration. Some of the various traits found within a Wolf is determination, honour, intelligence, wisdom,independence, individuality,freedom,intuition, inner strength and spiritual authority. Through the Awakening, one becomes intimate with their Wolf Nature and the aspects of its personality. The individual developes a strong connection with the imagery of the Wolf, in both a physical and Spiritual sense. The metamorphosis into the mindstate of a Wolf, mystically, has been known as Lycanthropy. What is being described here is not this, but directly involves the attributes described above. The imagery of a Wolf is useful for the purposes of contrasting between the Higher and Lower personalities of the Ego. This brings us to the symbol of the Sheep. This symbol, in most recent years, has been a universal symbol attributed to the Masses of ignorant humans walking the face of the earth. The Lower personality of the Ego is directly related with this symbol, and represents the opposite attributes of the Wolf. These include though are not limited to; ignorance, herd mentality, cowardice, limitation, and the belief of seperation. The people who walk through life in a dream state, unaware of whats going on or why. In short, Sheep are reactive where Wolves are Creative. Pure and simple.
