Cast down…

“THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental.”  ~ The kybalion.

“Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted, from state to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration. True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art.”  ~ The kybalion; Study Manuscript of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece, by Three Initiates.

Man has been cast down to earth, or, better put, man has been given humanity and tied to a mortal thought process, because in order to experience the “reality” of matter, all time and space, and enjoy its joys as well as learn the lessons from its pains,  there has to exist a fake entity which creates fear, thus thought which makes us flawed and mortal on this earth is born.

It is the Bible’s famous story of Lucifer and his angels cast down to earth, banished to hell because of some rebellious attitude. Lucifer was once the most beautiful being, the angel of dawn or the morning son; and thus its symbolism is taken from the planet Venus when it rises in the morning.
But, however the story goes, what matters in reality in our lives is to understand that we are God and “Devil.”  Therefore, our thoughts/our egos tempt us every day, thus it is Lucifer or Satan.  What lies inside our cells, the energy that we are beyond all thought and flesh, the strength and wisdom within that we are, is sensed in us because it is our human spirit to bring happiness to our lives; thus God is us.

All wrong doing, ignorant pleasures and pains emerge from the unruly mind, the conscious mind of our mortality; such mind which if allowed to roam free can bring us self-destruction and agony. You may see it as Lucifer’s playground, when the mind is allowed to roam free without being conscious of it.
When highly conscious of our minds, we initiate the process of awakening in us, thus we empty our minds from beliefs, ideas, and free ourselves from the oppression of society.  This is embracing God, thus God meets man, thus God-man fuses, Oneness happens.

It is all about the mind.  The mortal mind was the one cast down to earth in the story of the Bible, and the one that gives us our flawed humanity, our temptations, our desires. If this mind is controlled consciously every single day, the body transforms, energy clears, pollution disappears, and you become a god in the flesh.

Remember the wise words of Lord Buddha, “What is evil?  Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil: envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.”

Desire is Lucifer, the root of evil; so, tame thought, where all desire lies, and you will tame Lucifer.
