Lucifer Rising
Lucifer Rising
Note: this expression comes from a film directed by Kenneth Anger, and you can read more about it here. The purpose of this motion picture to generate a film that would welcome ‘Lucifer, the LightGod’. In this film, Lucifer is the egyptian god Horus.
I don't believe in christianity because their blind faith makes them refuse the concept of probability. There can be several explanations to the christian myth. I tend to find the whole thing slightly ridiculous, especially all the theatrical play that envolves the life of Yeshua.
This man could have been a mere polititian ahead of his time in terms of speech. This man could have been a simple lunatic. He could have been an absolute marketing genious. Despite everything that he could have been, he can also be the greatest hoax of all time, never having existed in the first place. However, I assume that he existed. Why not, anyway?
A Story Of Gods
Lucifer was an angel among many, son of God, and he was expelled from Paradise. This happened because he refused to bow before Adam, a human being, God's creation in his own image, but which was clearly an inferior being compared to all those who, like Lucifer, preceded him. God didn't like Lucifer's reaction and ordered his angel Michael to convince Lucifer he was wrong, therefore giving him one last chance. Michael failed, for Lucifer had no other view of the matter. In his last attempt to prove to God that Man could be indeed a victim of failure and sin, he tempted Adam and Eve. They fell in the trap Lucifer set for them, hence proving him right. God was furious and expelled them all from Paradise. From that moment on, they'd be confined to Earth and, worst of all, mortality. However, mortality didn't apply to Lucifer, for he was a divine creature, although disgraced by his father. God, for what is worth, turned his back on Mankind, after realizing that Lucifer was partly right, so his final creation had obviously been a failure. Anyway, Lucifer decided he had to go back to Paradise, or Heaven, or whatever it is you wish to call that place, and so he set up a plan. God was always watching him, of course, so he would have to play the game for real. Lying wasn't an option. So the only game he could play within these rules was a game of Love.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Time passed, for ages, and Lucifer was clearly noticing that Man had changed. They had become vicious, like him. They weren't necessarily "good" or "bad", but they were heading for a behaviour which would compromise them all in the future. So he possessed the body of a sinner, a carpenter called Joseph, who already had several children from his wife, but secretly kept a lover, whose name was Mary. As Joseph, Lucifer generated a child with Mary. As soon as she was pregnant, Lucifer assumed the body of that child, who was going to be named Yeshua. He, Lucifer, as Yeshua, was determined to bring Light upon all people, and spread peace and love among every single generation who'd follow. Yeshua was born and for about thirty years he helped his father with his wooden craft. Perhaps he wanted to redeem himself from the time he possessed Joseph's body, so he helped the poor man prosper so that he, Mary and Yeshua could have a good life, and still have the economic power to support the other family he had left behind. Suddenly, Yeshua's speeches of a new world order set some hearts violently on fire, but found shelter on other hearts as well. People would follow him everywhere and the word spread that he could do miracles. Indeed, he could, for Yeshua was indeed Lucifer, a mystical being. People loved him, and he learned to love them all, even the wicked. This was already quite an accomplishment, but not enough. He would have to give his life for it.

One day, Yeshua was in Yershalayim with a man who wasn't totally of his liking, but he let him follow him anyway. This man's name was Mathu Levi. He had been a tax collector, and he met Yeshua on the road. At the time, and after insulting Yeshua, who clearly didn't matter at all with the insult (Levi called him a dog, and Yeshua couldn't find anything wrong with this animal to see those words as an insult), and after listening to him, Levi threw all his coins to the ground and started following Yeshua all around. So, they were both in Yershalayim, and during one of his speeches, Yeshua proclaimed that "the Temple of the old faith would fall and that a new temple of truth would arise", and he said this in these words so that people could understand him better. However, this never happened, for he was accused of conspiracy to demolish the Temple of Yershalayim, so he was brought before the Procurator of Judea, Pontius Pilate. Their conversation was rather long. Pilate didn't want to sentence Yeshua to death, but the people wanted to see him dead, mostly because the High Priest of the Hebrews, Yoseph Kaiyapha, had ignited their hearts for that very same end. And if the people wanted something, he'd better do as they pleased. If he wanted to survive as the Roman leader in there, of course. So he washed his hands from the case, and stepped aside. Yeshua never fought these events hard enough, for he knew this was his big break.
Soon after all this, Yeshua Had-Nozri was crucified nearby, thus dying to prove to Man (and God) that he loved all the forsaken God's children with no exception, were they murderers or nuns. God's mercy befell onto Lucifer once more, and soon he joined all the celestial party. Shortly after, people realized the mistake they'd done. They merchandised the whole thing and even nowadays Yeshua's/Lucifer's followers make lots of money on his account, even changing the whole thing in order to influence people's minds. Despite all this hunger for money, the gods died long ago, shortly after Lucifer's rising back to Paradise, Asgard, or whatever you think its name was. They died willingly, for there was nothing more to be done, and Man wasn't worthy of their devotion anymore, so they ceased to exist. They started a majestic war among themselves, and in the end no go or goddess was left to tell the tale.
We're all alone now.
We're forever doomed, as we always were since the beggining of Time.
This isn't a bad thing, though... quite peaceful, actually.
Let's spread all the love we have to give, shall we?
Let's not waste our little time waging war on ourselves for petty things that never mattered.
For seven years I dwelt in the loose palace of exile,
Playing strange games with the girls of the island.
Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, & the strong, & the wise.
Brothers & sisters of the pale forest
O children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt?

Now Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth.
I want to be ready.
