Lucifer is a very powerful and bright Archangel (his name literally translates as light-bringer, shining one, morning star, in various languages) and he was “born” with a chip on his shoulder, with good reason.

Our Mother (the magnetic, Feminine Principle) and Father (the electric, Masculine Principle) were still getting to know each other at the time of his creation.  It was at one point, early in this courtship, that Mother complained that Father’s light was too bright for her, so bright that it was a bit frightening.

Rather than figuring out how to make his vibration more gentle and soft, our Father, who was basically still a naive kid at this point, simply travelled to the dividing line that separates the Void from Creation, and dumped that “too bright” aspect of himself in there.

This fragmented piece of ultra bright Masculine Principle is what created Lucifer, who was immediately subjected to the influence of the Void’s residents, Ahriman and his Asuras, or Demons. Ahriman is also known as Satan and he and Lucifer are very different, even though they have been confused and blended together in our mythology.

Lucifer was born with a huge inferiority complex already in place, because being unwanted for being “just too much” was the reason he had been fragmented from Father, and the demonic forces of the Void did their best to reinforce these hurt feelings, resulting in his hatred of both his parents, a feeling of being unjustly kicked out of his rightful place, and an endless need to try and be perfect in every way.

Mother and Father had both fragmented aspects of themselves (both deliberately and unconsciously) into the Void before, and usually those pieces of essence didn’t have much, if any consciousness, except for a set of imprinting that told it “I shouldn’t exist” – these fragments became the Asuras, Ahriman’s host of Demons who simply want to destroy Creation because that is the only way for them to fulfill their imprinting of “I shouldn’t exist”. But the energy that was fragmented off into Lucifer was very bright and conscious and had, actually, a lot of good qualities in it as well.

It was due to these positive aspects that Lucifer managed to escape the Void and avoid becoming an Asura himself.  By the time he found his way out though, he was as we have come to know him in the stories of the War in Heaven – a bright, powerful and persuasive Archangel who was pissed at God and wanted to do things in his own, more perfect way.
