Lucifer in Roman mythology
However, if you look into the usual encyclopedia of Roman mythology, you will find that the ancient Romans also knew it. But its appearance and the functions it performed were significantly different from its current image. Thus, the first mention of Lucifer is found in Roman mythology. This god is also reflected in Greek mythology. Among the ancient Greeks it is found under the name Eosphorus or Hesperus.
If you do some research, Greek mythology about Eosphorus (in some books and large encyclopedias on mythology, he appears under the name Hesperus) gives us another surprise. It turns out that the ancient Greeks believed that Eosphorus (Lucifer) was the god of the dawn, and Hesperus (according to some sources, the brother of Eosphorus) was considered the deity of the evening star.
But with the development of astronomy as a science, it became known that the evening and morning stars are one and the same. Therefore, the two entities merged into one. Since Hesper (Vesper) was known in Greek mythology as the "evening dawn" and Lucifer - in Roman mythology - his brother, was the "great star". Both of them are related to Venus. These two brothers, Hesperus and Eosphorus (Lucifer), had different parents.
Hesperus's father was the mortal Cephalus, while Lucifer's (Eosphorus) father was the Titan Astraeus, a second generation Titan. In addition, the Roman writer Gaius Julius Hyginus tells us that Astraeus had Tartarus and Gaia themselves as ancestors. And, as follows from Greek mythology, Tartarus was considered a world of darkness, a dark world, or even the underworld.
lux-fero
Thus, combining all of the above, the name Lucifer was born, in the original lux-fero, which means “messenger of light” or “one who brings light.” Therefore, there is a version that it was precisely because his father came from the ever-hungry abyss that the name Lucifer later turned out to be associated with the abyss (underworld). Due to translation, Lucifer is mistakenly confused with Prometheus.
Another version seems more plausible. The morning dawn appears in the heavens just before dawn, signaling the sunrise. The name comes from the Latin expression lucem ferre - "messenger of light." In the Bible, this expression was used to tell the Babylonian king about Helal, whose name translates as “Day Star, Son of the Dawn.”
King James did not use the original Hebrew texts to translate the Bible into English, but only the translated versions of St. Jerome. Jerome mistranslated the Hebrew metaphor "Daystar, son of the Dawn" as Lucifer. Over the centuries, Eosphorus, the god of the dawn, became a rebellious angel who fell from heaven to reign forever in the underworld.
CONVERSATION WITH LUCIFER. Part 11. The Love of God. Connecting perception.
Someday we will all remember that we are gods. After all, all knowledge is within each of us. You just need to believe and hear them in yourself. Listen to the god within you. I want to understand. There are two theories. The first person is the crown of creation, into which the Creator put everything that is in him and therefore he is unique. And all other parts of nature are ready to serve him. And all other civilizations want to understand this mystery of creation and reproduce it in themselves. And God loves man as his unique child. And the second theory is that man is simply one of God’s creations, that for God there is no difference between a bug and a man, God loves everyone equally. Or even God does not have any preferences, everything is one for him simply as steps of numerous knowledge and creation, comprehension of oneself. Which one is true? We again come to the concepts true, untrue, which do not exist. Think about reflection. A mirror simply reflects what is in front of it. Think of God as a mirror. Can a mirror want what and how to reflect it? It cannot help but reflect, this is its property, this is its way of interacting with what is not it, what is outside it or opposite it. You go to the mirror and smile, and a minute later you come back and get angry. Who are you really? Cheerful or angry? The mirror simply reflected one of your states. All that can be attributed to a mirror is only how clearly it reflected it, and whether it introduced distortions with its reflective quality. But the mirror does not have the right to choose to reflect or not, or to reflect someone selectively, only those it likes. Are you saying that if I believe that I am the crown of God’s creation, then I will be? And if I think that I am equal with others, will it be so? The mirror simply reflects what you are at the present moment. I don't understand. At first you said that God is simply the Light that we reflect. Now you say that God is a mirror. We talked about perception. Light passes through various reflective prisms that it encounters on its way and is refracted into a myriad of highlights. Can any reflection be better than another? Maybe. If the reflection prism is somehow special, improved. Improved compared to what? Probably compared to the previous reflection. But what does improved mean? Just different. What could be better or worse. Better or worse than what? So if God is light and has no preferences in how he is reflected, does it mean that all his reflections-creations are equally loved or equally indifferent to him? They cannot be indifferent, because they are his different reflections. You are endowed with feelings and therefore give everything a shade of feeling and evaluation. You perceive indifference as a kind of indifference, neglect. What is indifference? This is a lack of difference. How do you feel about yourself? Do you love yourself with passionate love? The parts of you that are you and not-different from you, say your hands, how do you relate to them? With indifference. They are inseparable from you in the sense that they cannot exist separately from you. But we are always told that God loves us like our father. But if he has no preferences and we are just a tool for going through his experience, how are my hands for me? I really don't love my hands. They're just a given. What does love mean to the Light? And what can you do with light? Light is one in nature. But for some reason it plays with beautiful reflections in diamonds, but is almost not reflected in dull glass. Light can simply be reflected, but how it is reflected depends entirely on the reflection prism. And if God can experience love in your understanding, then also only through you. If you love the parts of God around you, then he loves them too. If not, then he doesn’t love them either. How could it be otherwise? Imagine Light as a continuous stream, which, when reflected, receives certain information, reflection characteristics. These characteristics are, as it were, recorded in some kind of information system, a card index of reflections. At the same time, the light itself is unchanged, but each time it acquires new qualities. That is why everything around is your reflection. Because God receives information about what is around you only through you. But God also receives information about what is in you through you. That is, does God love you depends only on you? Does God get information about whether he loves me from me? Yes, for everything is simply a reflection of the Divine light. The Light of God, entering your reflection prism, is reflected about you with love for you or with dislike for you. So in this sense we can say that God does not love everyone, but only those who believe that he loves him and thus reflects the light of God as God's love for him? Yes. God, like the whole world, behaves the way you expect it to. Because everything that he does, relatively speaking, towards you is precisely your preference for his attitude towards you. And this is a really existing energy process. But why did Jesus say on the cross: “God, why have you forsaken me?” Because at that moment, he chose so, decided so, and thus for some moment weakened the connection with the Divine Light. But I was able to restore it. Not even the cross. So if a person is sure that God doesn’t love him, then that’s true? God is light and cannot experience the feelings that you experience, he does not have sense organs. In a sense, you are his sense organs. Let's say electric current simply enters the network. But whether he turns on a beautiful lamp illuminating the ball, or turns on a deadly machine, he is not free to decide. And all those qualities that you give to God as a person are actually your qualities. God doesn't love you because you are humble and love him. God loves you because you are confident in his love. YOU set his attitude towards you. You shape it with your thought forms and your energy reflection. And if you know that God loves you, he really loves you precisely because you created your own image of the reflection of the light of God that we love. Not just because you did godly deeds, God has no preference. But because you consider yourself loved by God and thus reflect yourself in him. This means that those who are sure that they are the crown of creation are them. And those who consider themselves equal to every insect are exactly that? You cannot move away from the moral concepts formed in you over thousands of years by your conditions of joint survival in the physical world and communities. They don't mean anything bad, but they simply don't allow you to look at the world more broadly. Is there a crown of creation? What is this? After all, each new creation is unique and different from the other. And no creation is the last. But there is a theory that God united all the rays of creation, the energies of all worlds, and therefore we are unique. In order to connect, you must first separate. The light just is there. The separation occurs at the level of reflecting objects. And all of you and many other reflections are simply different variations of the zeal of the Divine Light. And in this sense, everyone is unique and inimitable. And all are the crowns of creation. That is, man is no different from other creatures in any way? All creations are different. Stop pitting one against the other. Everything exists, and everything is different because it cannot be any other way. Everything is a prism reflecting the glare of Divine Light. Fine. What then are the rays of creation? And what is the impulse of Divine light that came to us on December 21 and was supposed to lift us into a higher dimension? All these are games of the gods. Games of creators with the light of the one God. Games of the gods? A lot of them? There are a great many of them who created the fundamental programs for reflecting Divine light in your world. Great programmers of your realities. Am I not the one who shapes my reality? Not only you. And besides, you don’t think about it. How does this happen. How does a certain creation program work? So there is no transition. Is there just a game? There is both. There is a game that you can choose to play and thus move to the next level. There are a great many programs of creation and you simply choose one of them, as if going through the levels of knowledge of these programs through your experience of incarnations. But someone creates these programs. You are always studying in the school of creation. First you learn how to create using already existing creation programs. Then many of you begin to delve into how to create your own creation program, which will create new unique creations that are different from other creations, and you create these programs. And thus they become the gods of their worlds, and this is how they set their own rules of the game and the rules for the passage of the Divine Light. That is, what we call the great transition is simply a game created by someone? This is the creation of a new world. And the level to which we rise? Exists only in this game. There is no concept of levels. How can the countless reflections of God be divided into levels? How to classify a sunbeam? All levels are new realities that are created every second and continuously by all those who participate in this creation. So there is no transition, but just a game? There is both. There is a game called "transition" that you can choose to play and thus visit other realities, which are called new levels. If you choose to master the art of, say, tailoring, you simply learn it and thus also rise to a certain level. In your game, the transition is simply mastering the art of consciously creating reality called 4 days. Others master the creation of other realities. Let's say impersonal space or great emptiness. After all, penetrating light illuminates new spaces within itself. By creating new realities, you seem to open them for your perception in the literal sense. And everything that you read about the visions of various practitioners of mastering the Divine Light, everything is simply the creation and mastery of the perception of new realities. And shamanic practices. And Toltec practices. And Buddhists. And yogis. And priests of various denominations. You always had a choice - to join some already created reality and complete it with your own thought forms. Or create and master a new one. In this sense, the realities created by those whom you call insane are no better or worse than the realities created, say, by Buddhists, that very nirvana that you so love to talk about. They are simply different realities of creation. It turns out that a crazy maniac is like Buddha? He is similar to him, because both of them are simply a reflection of the Divine light. But they are different because they are completely different reflections of it. Why was knowledge about this not given before? Why is it now that we receive so much information that was previously hidden? This knowledge has always been given, since this knowledge was and is always inside each of you. You are strong in your faith, you hear this phrase often, and it reflects you very accurately. You are literally strong in your faith. And previously you were dominated by the belief that such knowledge was inaccessible to you. There were times when you always knew everything about everything. Instantly you received a telepathic experience of perceiving all the information you needed at that moment. But then you had those whom you called priests and adepts who began to preach to you their own uniqueness and your insignificance. So gradually you drowned out the voice of God in you, the channel of information through which you can find out everything about the entire universe. For as God's various creations you are all connected together. Into a single system of perception. Can you still look at the world of God through the eyes or organs of perception of any other being in the universe? What do I need to do? Just introduce yourself to them. Completely believe that you are him and thus accept his perception. Try to understand differently. There is an information field around you in which all experiences of perceptions and your experience of perception are recorded too. If you tune your receiving device to certain waves, like radio waves, you will be able to hear and perceive any information. And this is exactly how to gain experience of perceiving any other being. If someone gains access to your brain, then he sees the world through your eyes and experiences it through your senses. Then the question immediately arises: does it mean that now through me my world perceives many entities that know how to connect to my brain? Yes it is. Why does that scare you? After all, you, too, can connect to the perceiving apparatus of any being in the universe. Are you still doing this? Am I doing this? Yes. When you perceive natural phenomena. When you communicate, say, with plants. You have instantaneous but very short connections to the perception of other entities. You just don’t know how to capture it and maintain it sustainably. Or divide. For now, for you it is a single stream of perception. Those reflections that we are talking about are the signals of perception of others received by you. Why is your world so stable and similar to the world of other people? Because you are briefly included in their perception. This is the basis of matrix perception. But it is important that you understand that you can connect to everything, say, to your Sun's perception of the world. Or the moon. When you are happy in the light of day or sad under the moonlight, this is what happens? The sun is happy and the moon is sad? Joy and sadness are human concepts. Everything is just different qualities of light. Let's say bright or muted. You can perceive any world. To do this, you just need to clear your prism of perception from the templates imposed on you throughout your entire life in that society, and make an attempt to step over them. Give yourself the right to be anyone else, the one you choose to be. Do you remember why holy fools were revered in Rus'? These were people who did not follow the general perception. Are you saying that I need to become a holy fool? You can choose who you want to become. I'm talking about how to step over an established pattern of perception. Understand and believe that the world is only the way you imagine it, the way you create it in your perception. You said that someone who can connect to my brain can perceive my reality through me. Can this someone influence me in this way? We talk a lot about creatures that feed on our emotions and control us. Are you talking about them? Everything that exists in your world is your perception. Or what you allow with your perception. Don't let anyone force your perceptions on you, not even me. If you create God’s love for yourself in your world, then you create relationships with any entity in your perception and your world. Can someone who looks through binoculars influence the binoculars? Yes, if he twists it and thereby throws off the focus. But only if you let him. After all, if you know how your binoculars should work, you will get the settings back in place. In other words, if you do not consciously control your perceptions, others will control them. And not out of a desire to seize power over you, but out of a need to gain more experiences of perception. And that is why they adjust your binoculars to suit themselves, so that it is easier and more familiar for them to perceive your world. When you act unconsciously, there can be many such people who want it. You are simply an invitation, an open door. But it is in your power to limit access to this door of your perception and establish rules for the use of your binoculars. After all, it will also be interesting for you to look at another creature through binoculars. And try to perceive its reality. So, when they talk about traveling through other realities, they mean the perception of other worlds through the apparatus of perception of other entities, and not the journey of my body and my apparatus of perception? In the world in which you exist, nothing is impossible. There is whatever you choose. And if you choose to travel in the body, you will master this experience of perception. Simply connecting to the awareness of other beings happens faster, since this ability is already inherent in you. In each of you. The idea of separation is so firmly ingrained in your minds that it is difficult for you to realize unity in practice. After all, all the entities existing in the world are also you, you are different. And if you connect to the perception of another entity, then in essence you connect to the perception of yourself by another. And therefore, everything that happens around you and in you is all the experience of your perception. There is no one around but you. And you are God.

Where did the symbols of Lucifer come from?
One of the symbols of Lucifer
Do you know where Lucifer, who, as mentioned above, was the god of the dawn, got two horns, a goat's beard and a tail?
The early fathers of the Catholic Church understood that people would not simply obey social rules, much less the rules of the church. To ensure the obedience of the flock, they were forced to “create” a terrible monster that would eternally punish sinners - that is, those who did not want to obey the church. Then they turned to Greek mythology and discovered Pan, who was the perfect image for evil.
Patron of forests, flocks, shepherds, and later - protector of all nature (in ancient Rome, the cult of Pan merged with the cult of the Roman deities Faun and Innui). Pan was born in the mountains of Arcadia, half man, half goat - with goat legs, horns and a beard. But the early church fathers took the following characteristics into account to create the figure of the devil.
Pan
Pan in ancient Greece had the following character traits:
- was considered, among other things, the god of fertility and unbridled sexuality.
- Endowed with a great sexual appetite, he loved to pursue nymphs in the forests in order to involve him in unbridled pleasures.
- Greek poets said that Pan had a prophetic gift, as well as other magical abilities (that is, he was a sorcerer).
- It brought fear and even panic to men. He also hunted young girls and women in order to satisfy his sexual appetites.
- He also really likes to hide among the shadows of forests and scare random passers-by.
- In ancient Arcadia, Pan was not only revered, but was considered more of a "demonium meridianum" (demon of the midday) than a true god.
