Apotheosis: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path QUOTES

1 " Luciferians do not believe in a heaven or hell; these are mere symbols. Luciferians do not recognize the concept of “heaven” as a Judeo-Christian kingdom in the sky for the so-called “good”; nor do we believe in devils in the pits of hell awaiting us. Heaven is a symbolic reference to the vast sky and is associated with the sun. The heavens represent our higher articulation of consciousness, our ability to control and direct our impulses and apply the knowledge we have attained. Hell is the abode of “rest” and of contemplation of our deep desires; the Underworld is a symbol of our unconscious mind where our primal instincts lay. "

2 " For a prospective adherent, Luciferianism is first understood and experienced by the values and exemplified traits which are the core foundation. Luciferianism is a rational, self-motivated philosophy summarized in the 11 Points of Power. These points of reference for initial study, comparison, following with rational application require steadfast commitment to identifying, breaking unwanted habits and establishing new ones. This process is Magick in a most simple form, make note of the moments of validation of which discovery is made; there is nothing beyond you making anything happen, good or bad. Your Will, Desire and Belief as a Luciferian creates the nexion or gateway for the often abstract acasual metaphysical concepts to enhance and fuel your Apotheosis. "

3 " We respect and recognize the deliciously indulgent desire in life but balance that with a specific goal, an ulterior motive to maintain self-discipline and gain insight and self-mastery equally. "

― Michael W. Ford , Apotheosis: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path

4 " For a prospective Luciferian, a basic structure or system to begin your journey on the Left-Hand Path is found in the concept of the Trinity of the Morning Star. A rational basis for applying and living Luciferian Philosophy while slowly evolving, adapting and transforming towards the mastery of the Unconscious and Conscious Mind. The Trinity of the Morning Star is simply Liberation, Illumination and Apotheosis. Like the myths of the Watchers giving Forbidden Knowledge to humans, the Trinity of the Morning Star is the Key to unlocking our Luciferian Spirit. "

5 " Luciferians strive for balance between the primal instincts which motivate our designs in life (darkness); with self-determination in maintaining self-control and applying our ability to use reason and logic (light). This symbol of unity of darkness (instinct, emotion) and light (intellect, logic) sparks the Black Flame (inspired imaginative consciousness and potential towards your True Will). This is represented as Liberation, the conscious act of logically destroying restrictive dogma, especially if uncomfortable to gain new levels of insight and power; Illumination is the achievement of the insight of the experience. "

6 " Illumination is the process of perpetual self-development by the struggle and achievement of short and long-term goals. Illumination is the precise realization that identifying your goals magically, attaining knowledge which is applied towards the force of your Will. This act of Will Power is the act of compelling, transforming and focusing energy to achieve a determined goal. "

― Michael W. Ford , Apotheosis: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path

7 " Once you are clear on what is necessary it is important to apply a strategic plan and act towards this initiatory process of Illumination. This will no doubt be difficult and at times the remnants of the belief or restriction nudges you to stop and take the comfortable road which is stagnation and failure. The Luciferian must resist and with a whole heart hate this weakness and the sickness of spirit it brings, infecting other thoughts and actions over time. Conquering will require consistency, discipline and an overwhelming force of your personality to attain this initiatory experience of Illumination. This is Magick is the most potent and powerful way, the Luciferian becomes by the totality and obsessive energy fueling Will, Desire and Belief. "

8 " Liberation is the consistent and perpetual willed act of identifying restrictive beliefs, deep-rooted superstitions and by gaining knowledge to overcome the obstacles identified. "

― Michael W. Ford , Apotheosis: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path

9 " This Mytho-Magickial approach to Apotheosis is merely optional and adaptable. There is no dogma beyond what you cling to or consciously adopt. Luciferians are unique and individualistic, recognizing the natural predilection towards how the inner workings of the mind and imagination are approached. Luciferians should never force-feed some metaphysical structure or uninspiring adoption of ‘beliefs’ (especially blind-faith, myths morphed into religion, etc.). If you are inspired by the tools and psychodrama of ceremonial ritual, calling upon the gods and demons to connect with your inner-energy then fully indulge yourself. Make sure that you use rational and reason-based foundations such as the 11 Points of Power outside of the ritual chamber. "

10 " The flip-side to that natural way that your brain is ‘wired’ is for the more atheistic Luciferian who identifies with the 11 Points of Power, validates how mental focus and Will Power causes change (Magick) and has no desire for rituals, pantheons or spells. This type is grounded totally in the conscious and rational core structure. No matter the path, approach or opposite, we are brought together as a Brother and Sisterhood around the 11 Points of Power, our living Luciferian Philosophy and the symbol of the Bringer of Light. "

― Michael W. Ford , Apotheosis: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Luciferianism & the Left-Hand Path

11 " Luciferians have the potential to be abundantly more balanced and stronger in character than Christians; when you are responsible for your actions and can’t bend a knee or go to church on Sunday to hide your bad behaviors in life, a sense of self-discipline will allow better thoughts, words and actions the first time!  Responsibility begins and ends with the individual alone.
