HIGHER TRUTH about the DIVINE WAR
that Dominates Our Lives
Paper 1:
Human Monomyths are Rooted in Higher TRUTH
Even the Rocks in the Field Can Feel that We Are Living in Extremely Precarious Times.
Corruption Pervades. Perversity Abounds. Selfishness Dominates. Ego is King. And Money Rules Like a God.
Tensions are High. Justice has Increased Incrementally, while Injustice Has Increased Exponentially.
Great Strides in Truth and Love Have Suffered Tremendous Setbacks.
Evil Morphs and Has Become More Pervasive.
With Every Fight We Win, this Hydra’s Heads Multiply and Continue to Spread Everywhere.
Where did it all begin?
How did we get here?
Where are we going?
How do we get through this?
To understand how we all got into this mess – and how we get out -
we have to go back to the Beginning…
MONOMYTHS
Joseph Campbell, the most famous mythologer of recent times, taught about the monomyth, which was the classic Hero’s Journey, but also a generalized term for archetypal myths that are basically the same found all over the world.
The main theme of Campbell’s book, The Power of Myth, is “the universality of myths—what Campbell calls ‘mankind's one great story’— that occur throughout the history of mankind, no matter which epoch or whichever culture or society is considered…
The reappearance of certain themes, time and again, in different mythologies, leads to the realization that
These Themes Portray Universal and Eternal Truths about Mankind.”
Campbell says that the reason certain stories repeat themselves in every culture in the world,
at every stage of human history, is because they are
Springing from the Same Universal Truths.
I would now like to introduce a concept called
Euhemerism is named after the 4th - 3rd Century B.C. mythographer Euhemerus, who put forward the idea that
“Mythological accounts…
Originate from Real Historical Events or Personages…
(and) become myths as they are exaggerated in the retelling, accumulating elaborations and alterations that reflect cultural mores…”
This is to essentially say the same thing
that Joseph Campbell said 2400 years later.
The philosophical viewpoints of both Euhemerus and Campbell can thus be summed up in one of the opening lines from one of the Lord of the Rings Films:
How Monomyths are Made
I’d also like to take a brief moment to explain
How Monomyths are Made –
how it is that monomyths can sprout from the same seeds of Truth and be distributed across different cultures - even if they have had no physical contact with each other - and across the entirety of human history.
The seeds of Truth that give rise to monomyths are spiritual and metaphysical in nature.
That is why these myths usually deal with grand subjects like the activities of the Supreme Spirit, various gods, angels, and other deities or non-physical spirits, as well as with events in human history that (purportedly) shaped human consciousness and the direction of human history itself.
A channel, oracle, or psychic – a mystic - is a physically embodied person who can spiritually, mentally, and/or energetically access non-physical reality and bring its energy and/or information into the physical world in a substantial and clear way.
The are Four Basic Ways that a Mystic may
Genuinely Access Non-Physical Information:
1) They may perceive non-physical phenomena accurately themselves.
2) They may “download” information/energy from a Collective Consciousness in which that that information/energy is stored.
3) They may access the famous Akashic Records.
4) They may hear clearly from a Dependably Truthful Being who lives in or is active in the non-physical realms in which the information is stored, and then subject what they receive to their own Truth Meter and other Tests of Veracity.
It is absolutely imperative to subject such transmissions to a very thorough vetting process of Truthfulness and Accuracy, as false transmissions and false information are far more the norm than pure and accurate channelling in this Age of darkness that we currently are in.
(In upcoming articles I will explain in greater detail what all of these things are and the spiritual/metaphysical mechanisms by which they work.)
Important Events in Universal History have a prominent place in the Collective Consciousness of the Celestial and Astral beings who lived them and a prominent place in the Akashic Records.
Additionally, Some of the beings who lived those events have great, but varied motivations to see that others – such as humans – know what they can of those histories, or what those higher beings want humans to know of it.
Mystics thus “download” parts of these histories in one of the four above ways.
However, for a multitude of reasons the pure version of the history gets covered over, the human “downloaders” make their own egoic and cultural additions and subtractions to the story, and over time
“History becomes Legend. Legend Becomes Myth.”
However, because the Core Truth of the History is So Pertinent to both Universal and Human Life,
the Power of the Truth Preserves the Core of the Story and It Remains and Spreads
in All of Its Human Cultural Forms.
Thus are born Human Monomyths.
A Note on Our Methodology
in the Discernment of TRUTH
In Pursuit of the Truth, we Rely on Divine Guidance
and Instruction, and Our Own Personal
Purity of Intent, Experience, Study, and Practice.
We Study Everything that We are Guided to Study
and we take a wholistic and syncretic approach to the Discernment of Truth.
Wikipedia has a very good summation of what syncretism is:
“Syncretism is the practice of combining different beliefs and various schools of thought.
Syncretism involves the merging or assimilation of several originally discrete traditions,
especially in the theology and mythology of religion,
thus asserting an Underlying Unity and
Allowing for an Inclusive Approach to Other Faiths…
Syncretism Specifically Denotes a More
Integrated Merging of Beliefs into a Unified System…”
We do this because we know that the following belief of the Hopi First Nation is True:
So we must be like the Hamsa of Vedic Lore.
Hamsa in Sanskrit means “Swan.”
Param in Sanskrit means Supreme or Highest,
so a Paramahamsa is a person who is amongst
the “Highest of the Swans.”
In Vedic mythology, the Hamsa has the ability to drink a mix of milk (a highly valued substance in Vedic culture) and water, to separate the two in its mouth, and then to spit out the water while drinking the milk.
Because Threads of Truth are spread all over the world, but Perfect Truth is nowhere to be found,
We Must Seek Truth out in All Places that do not genuinely endanger us beyond our capacity to deal with the danger.
We Must Hear from Many Sources, and Be Like the Swan, Swallowing and Digesting Truth, while Releasing Untruth.
This is an Arduous and Continuous Process, of course. But This is also the Only Path to Liberation.
This is how expert we must be when analyzing monomyths and how they are rooted in Truth,
because there is so much untruth mixed in.
Some people have an aversion to “religious” teachings and scriptures
due to the blatant absurdities and hypocrisies that are endemic to them.
This aversion could be healthy, to some extent.
But let us not throw out the baby with the bath water.
Let’s keep the baby… and drink the milk.
DIVINE WAR, DIVINE HERO, & DRAGON/SERPENT MONOMYTHS
For this article, we will briefly discuss a few Intertwined Monomyths Found in Various World Cultures and
Glean the Truth from them as we can:
1) There is or has been a “War in the Heavens”
or a “War between the Gods, “and this War impacts and directs human life on Earth.
2) There exists a greatly evil presence or entity presiding over, controlling, and/or harming the Earth and her people, and this entity is often portrayed as having the form of a large dragon/serpent and being the leader of the forces of darkness.
3) There is a Great Hero/Savior of Great Power, Light, and Benevolence, who is a/the Protector and Liberator of the Earth, and who is the Principal Opponent/Conqueror of the dragon/serpent.
This Savior is usually the Leader of the Forces of Light and/or the Leader of the “Hosts of Heaven.”
This Divine Champion/Hero is usually depicted as
A) The Highest Divinity in whatever spiritual system it may be
B) The Son of the Highest Deities in whatever spiritual system it may
C) The God of Light and/or a Storm/Weather God in whatever spiritual system it may be, and/or
D) A Divine Lion
Concerning mythological tales of dragons on Earth, the beast is usually vanquished by a human hero, especially in European folklore.
1) VEDIC/ HINDU
Indra, the King of Heaven and
the God of the Sky, Storms, Thunder, and Lightning
Kills Vritasura, depicted as a huge human-like serpent.
Krishna, the Fully Divine Human Incarnation
of the Supreme God, Vishnu,
Defeats the serpent Kaliya
to stop it from poisoning the River Yamuna.
Narasimha,
the Half-Man/Half-Lion Incarnation of the Supreme God, Vishnu,
Kills Hiranykashipu,
the leader of the demons,
in order to Save His Child Devotee, Prahlad
2) KMT (Ancient Egypt)
Heru (Horus), the God of the Sun, Light, Protection, Healing, and Kingship
Fights and Ultimately Defeats Set,
the god of darkness.
As a Deity of Light, the Sky, and Kingship,
Heru was often merged with Ra, the Deity of the Sun.
Heru’s normal form has a Falcon Head,
but he also has a Lion Form,
and he is often depicted in art killing demons.
Ra, the Sun God, opposed the demon Apophis, the embodiment of darkness and chaos, who is depicted as a huge snake of 15 meters. Ra is often depicted taking the form of a Great Cat to kill Apophis.
3) ZOROASTRIANISM (ANCIENT PERSIA)
Atar/ Asha Vahishta, the God of Divine Fire,
Truth, and Righteousness,
and the son of Ahura Mazda, the Highest Deity of Goodness,
Defeats Aži Dahāka, a dragon/serpent demon of pure sin,
who is the son of Ahriman/Angra Mainyu,
the highest deity of evil.
4) GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Zeus, the Chief God of the Greek Pantheon, a God of Thunder and the Sky, Kills Typhon, the son of Gaia (Earth) and Tartarus (Hell), and who is a huge serpentine beast with one hundred heads.
Apollo, a son of Zeus, and the God of Truth, the Sun, Light, Prophecy, Music, Dance, Poetry, and Healing,
Kills Python, a monstrous dragon/serpent.
5) JUDAISM
Leviathan is huge sea serpent demon
who breathes fire and cannot be conquered.
An embodiment of chaos and evil,
he is predicted to be destroyed at the End of Days.
Coming out of the Jewish tradition,
Christians and Gnostics will go on
to describe Leviathan in even deeper ways.
6) CHRISTIANITY
In Christianity, Leviathan is considered by some to be satan himself, and by others to be one of satan’s chief princes.
It is to be noted that the Church of satan considers Leviathan to be a chief prince of satan’s and uses the name of Leviathan in its sigil of baphomet, who is the goat-headed hermaphrodite form of satan most commonly openly worshipped by satanists.
The Book of Revelation in the Bible describes the Famous Lion of Judah:
“And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back,
sealed with seven seals.
Then I saw a Strong Angel Proclaiming with a Loud Voice,
‘Who is Worthy to Open the Scroll and to Loose its Seven Seals?’
And no one in Heaven or on the Earth or under the Earth
was able to open the scroll, or to even look at it.
So I wept bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to even look at it.
But one of the elders said to me,
Also in Revelation, the Evil One of Heaven
is explicitly called a “Great, Fiery, Red Dragon.”
“And another sign appeared in Heaven:
Behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
His tail drew a third of the stars of Heaven
and threw them to the Earth...”
- Revelation 12: 3-4
7) GNOSTICISM
Leviathan is elaborated upon in Gnostic texts as a huge serpent that encompasses the entire Earth, like Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent of Norse Mythology.
The Gnostics say that Leviathan is the dragon demon archon that encircles the whole world, biting its own tail – an Ouroboros - and imprisons the souls of human beings within its sphere, preventing them from advancing to Higher Realms of Light.
According to the Gnostics, the first and chief archon (ruler) of this world is a lion-faced (due to his fierceness) serpent deity called Yaldabaoth, also called Saklas, and Samael.
He is a false god, yet he is the ruler of this world that he has created.
An embodiment of evil, he lords it over hosts of other demons, and has trapped human souls in this world of his own making, preventing them from advancing outside of this prison.
8) MANDAEISM
(SMALL MIDDLE-EASTERN RELIGION)
Ur, a large, ferocious dragon/serpent is the king of the World of darkness.
He stands opposed to Hayyi Rabbi, the Supreme Godhead, and the Uthras, the Celestial Beings of Light.
9) NORSE MYTHOLOGY
Thor, God of Thunder, Lightning, Power, and Protection, and the son of King of the Gods, Odin, Has a Deadly Rivalry with Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent,
Who Encircles the Whole Earth and puts his tail in his mouth – another Ouroboros.
According to the prophecy of Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods, Thor and Jörmungandr will battle to the death killing each other at the End Times.
10) BALINESE HINDUISM/ANIMISM
In Balinese mythological culture, the King of the Spirits of Light and the Leader of the Divine Forces of Good is called the Barong. He has various forms, but his principal form is that of a Lion.
He is known as the Ultimate Protector and Vanquisher of darkness.
His principal antagonist is Rangda, the embodiment of evil.
11) EUROPEAN FOLKLORE
In Albanian mythology, the Drangue are semi-divine winged beings who are archetypes for the Light and Goodness, the Protectors of Mankind.
They are constantly at war with the Kulshedra,
multi-headed demonic dragons who plague humanity.
European Folklore is replete with stories of human heroes, such as Beowulf, Ragnar Lodbrok, St. George, and Sigurd, who become Dragonslayers, in order to protect the village, rescue the princess, gain renown, etc.
As a brief, but important note, it is well acknowledged that the symbolism of the dragon/serpent is not wholly negative.
Indeed, especially in Asia and Central and South America, the serpent metaphysically and symbolically also connotes wisdom, spiritual awakening, rebirth, and other positive qualities.
As detailed in the mystical traditions of India, the Kundalini Energy, when properly awakened, purified, and harnessed, brings Cosmic Consciousness and Enlightenment.
It is described as a snake lying dormant in the root chakra, awakened by spiritual and metaphysical practice.
In China, especially, the dragon is mainly seen as a Sign of Good Luck and Protection.
In a later paper we will dive into all of this.
But for this paper, we will focus on the destructive cosmic identity and aspect of the Primordial Serpent.
The PLANES and DIMENSIONS of EXISTENCE
To understand the “War in Heaven” – and How It Reached Earth - we must first have a True, if very basic, Understanding of what “Heaven” actually is, as well as a basic understanding of the Worlds that exist between Heaven and Earth.
For that, we need to have a basic understanding of the Planes and Dimensions of Existence,
and how Souls Enter into Them.
The realm of pure Spirit is Absolute and Everything is contained within it.
It is beyond dimensions and accurate description in physical terms.
The metaphysical worlds exist within and beyond the physical world.
In a sense, these metaphysical worlds could be said to exist both within the physical world and "between" the realm of pure Spirit and the physical worlds, at least in terms of Vibrational Frequency and Energetic Potency.
The greater the vibratory energy of a particular realm, the "Higher" and more subtle it is.
The physical world is considered the "lowest" of the worlds of manifestation insomuch as it is the densest vibration found commonly in existence.
There are more dense planes of existence, but they are so folded in on themselves, so to speak, that they are not inhabited by the same type of beings that inhabit the 3rd and higher dimensions.
In the process of Creation, the energy of manifestation always originates in pure Spirit and traverses the metaphysical worlds from the higher to lower until it reaches the physical world.
Therefore, everything in the physical world –
everything that can be perceived with the physical senses – has its origin in the higher dimensions.
This is an extremely important point to remember as it affects everything on Earth:
the Non-Physical Worlds Give Birth to and Have Ultimate Control Over Every Single Thing in the Physical World.
The consciousness of human beings in the physical worlds are generally more or less locked into this vibratory level, making these higher realms largely imperceptible to the overwhelming majority of human beings at a conscious level.
However, as the dimensions of existence overlap each other, human beings are naturally interdimensional themselves.
Some do have the capacity to consciously perceive and interact with the non-physical worlds (mystics), and all human beings have innate metaphysical abilities to some extent that can be cultivated and developed if they so choose through study and practice.
The Dimensions of Existence exist within what are called the 7 Great Planes of Existence in our Universe.
In upcoming papers, we will bring forth a more detailed and complete exposition,
but below is a brief and generalized description of these planes and dimensions, in order from Lowest to Highest.
NOTES:
The Absolute Plane is Infinite and Omnipresent. It Pervades All Levels of Existence and is also Beyond All of Them.
There are Planes Below the Physical Realm – the 1st and 2nd Dimensions - which are so dense in nature as to be beyond accurate human conception and interaction at this time, so they are omitted. However, there is some indication that these dimensions are "reservoirs of power" out of which some higher forms of existence spring; the "building blocks" of some forms of the material creation may exist in the energy below the 3rd dimension, and the term "dark matter" may refer to energy in these realms, as well.
The domains known as “Hell” and “Hades,” which is a special sort of Hell/prison for fallen celestial beings, are considered a separated and very “dark” part of the Astral Plane.
The Buddhic and Nirvanic Planes are Superuniversal.
Very briefly, the Buddhic Plane connects the created universes to each other and to the Nirvanic Plane, and the Nirvanic Plane connects all the “lower” worlds to Original Transcendent Source/ God.
The Higher Regions of the Astral Plane (9-11th Dimensions) could be termed “Heavenly,” because lower beings who make it there find a release from almost all sufferings, pains, and struggles. It is not improper to call those dimensions “Lower Heavens,” but they are not Heaven Proper.
“Heaven” is the Causal Plane. “Heaven” is not simply a “state of mind,” as some may postulate.
Heaven is an Actual Place. It is so named because the Cause of Universal Creation comes from here.
MICHAEL, SOPHIA and OUR UNIVERSE
The Being known as “Archangel Michael” is not an archangel at all.
He is commonly called an archangel because of the widespread influence of the Christianity, with its roots in Judaism.
In those systems, Michael is described as a Chief, or the Chief, amongst the angels because, for the most part, Judaism and Christianity do not differentiate between the Vast Numbers of Diverse Celestial and Astral Beings in Existence.
Any being of “Light” is called an “Angel” and any being of “darkness” is called a “demon.”There are also ghosts, spirits, and monsters, but the elaboration is very limited.
Michael being correctly perceived as the “Head Guy” amongst “God’s Angels,” was thus given the title “Archangel.” Michael is the “Head Guy,” but in Truth, Michael is much more than simply that.
He is the “Father” and Leader of Our Individual Universe.
That is not to say that Michael is the Absolute Supreme Godhead Himself.
There are Infinite Universes.
“GOD” is the Self of All, the Lord of ALL the Universes.
GOD is the Totality of Existence Itself – The Oneness.
Thus, in the Higher Realms, the Supreme Spirit/ God is usually simple referred to as The “ONE,” meaning the Oneness.
Michael is a Direct Emanation of the Godhead, Empowered to Create and Lead Our Particular Universe, in Conjunction with His Female Counterpart, Whom I will call Sophia, as the Gnostics Called the Highest Feminine Emanation of the Godhead.
Michael and Sophia are not the Godhead Itself, but rather manifestations of the Shiva and Parvati aspects of the Godhead in individual forms for the purpose of universe creation.
As such, Michael and Sophia are not Infinite, Omniscient, or Omnipresent,
but In Our Universe They are the Closest Things to It.
Sophia is absolutely equal to Michael in terms of power, position, and authority, but they play obviously intersecting, but different roles in Universal Management.
Michael is literally Our Father and Sophia is literally Our Mother, at least in terms of Lineal Creature Creation.
Our Universe is based on a System of Duality - Male/Female, High/Low, Light/darkness, etc.,
so this is the Natural Order in Our Universe.
Of course, ALL is ONE in TRUTH, so the Apparent Opposites All Exist in the Complements.
Additionally, there are exceptions to every rule, and the Variegatedness of Existence – especially in the Higher Realms –cannot be overstated.
Still, the Base Nature of Our Particular Universe and the Majority of Its Manifestations are Dualistic in Nature and this is the Natural Order.
The Main Game of Our Universe is Returning to Oneness from the Duality.
As such, Michael’s Role is to Play the Divine Masculine/Father Aspect of the Godhead and
Sophia’s Role is to Play the Divine Feminine/Mother Aspect.
Because of this, as the Universe is in a Time of War and Crisis, Michael, the Divine Masculine, has been more forward in dealing with these things directly and on external levels than the Divine Mother, who Herself, however,
is Always Present and in Support of Her Children.
In later articles, I will describe more fully All of the major Celestial Players as I know of them – Causal, Astral, and Earthly.
I am just giving this Universal background information as a needed basis for beginning to understand the Divine War,
as this is the Focus of this Paper.
In 1995, when my mystical journey began in earnest (to put it very mildly),
I was led to Michael and – long story short – He became One of My Principal Guides.
He led someone to me who introduced me to the Urantia Book.
Michael told me that anything of any size that comes through human hands will be flawed and contaminated,
so the Urantia Book, or any book for that matter, cannot be taken as perfect or containing only Truth.
But He said that the Urantia Book is indeed a Wonderful Revelation for Humanity, and that a Great Deal of Truth was to be found in it, although, as with everything else on Earth, you would have to intelligently and psychically sift out the parts that are not True.
He told me that the basic part describing Him as not an Archangel, but the Father and Head of Our Universe is True.
I have not really seen this information anywhere else besides in the Urantia Book.
I asked Michael why doesn’t He correct this view of Him as an archangel, which is the standard?
Why doesn’t He correct people who are channelling Him or who think that they are channelling Him or Christians or Jews who may try to connect to Him as an archangel?
His reply, in my summary, was this:
“Celestial Beings of Light Do Not Proffer That which is Not Requested and They Never Interfere with Free Will or a Soul’s Individual Journey through the Lands of Illusion, from darkness to the Light,
Beyond What is Requested by a Soul, What is Best for the Soul, What Has Been Earned by the Soul, and What is Aligned with Universal Law and the WILL of the ONE.
There are so many illusions, misinformation, and disinformation about Reality and Celestial Beings.
Most people are (temporarily) happier finding philosophy with which they resonate and inspires them as it is given to them, rather than the painful and arduous path of Finding Out for Themselves If It True.
The overwhelming majority of human beings want little to nothing to do with Genuine Higher Truth.
We Honor Their Free Will and the Path They Choose. And We Meet Them at Whatever Level of Sincerity
They Might Choose to Have. Humans must pass through their long season of illusion and ignorance.
The Unveiling Will Come.”
Generally Christian and Jewish scriptures denote God, the Supreme Being, as the Creator of All Things.
In the sense that IT Is All Things, IT is the Original Source of All Things, and IT Ultimately Wills All Things Into Existence, That is True.
But in Practical Reality, Creation can be seen as a Descending Process into Matter:
The ONE Creates Beings Who Create Beings and Things, Who Go On to Create Other Beings and Things, and on Down the Ladder from the Causal Plane into below the Physical it goes.
GOD Created – or more properly, Emanated – Michael and Sophia, and They are the Actual Creators of Our Universe and the Original Father and Mother of All Beings in It.
Other Spiritual Systems tend to recognize the Reality that there exists intermediate “creators” between lower level entities – such as humans, for example – and the Godhead Itself.
The dominant strains of the Abrahamic religions tend not to recognize this.
So it turns out that, in some circumstances in Christian, Jewish, and some corollary scriptures, a True Reading for “God” would not be the Supreme Being Itself, but rather Michael and Sophia, as they are the actual “Creators” of Our Universe, and many things attributed to the Godhead Itself in those texts and commentaries, would actually have been the doing of Michael and Sophia, as the Chief “Gods” and First Parents of Our Universe.
For example, “God” is attributed with the creation of “angels” and humankind.
But in Reality, Michael and Sophia called forth individual souls out of the Godhead, created forms - bodies - for them to inhabit, and channelled those souls through their own bodies into those forms.
These "direct children" of Michael and Sophia are the first created beings in the universe and they have come to be known on Earth as the "gods" or "archangels" of various different Earth cultures.
These direct children of Michael and Sophia are holders of the various bandwidths of energy in our universe that hold the universe together.
These beings literally hold the universe together with the own bodies and energy.
The WAR in HEAVEN, Pt. 1
Michael, Sophia, the Gods, Archangels, and All the Other High Beings of Our Universe Reside in the Causal Plane – the High Heavens.
By the Will of the ONE, Our Universe, like most known universes, was originally designed to be a Universe of Light. Darkness could exist at lower levels, but mainly in the form of ignorance, not malevolence.
All Souls Entering Our Universe from the ONE were thus designed to be Primarily Beings of Light.
As the Dualities are Truly One, however, small amounts of darkness, mainly in the form of ignorance, are a also a part of all beings. The Original Design was for the darkness of nescience to be stronger and more abundant in the lower realms, but the Causal Plane was to remain Pure – or as of Pure Light as could be.
But the ONE also had a Different Plan for Our Universe.
As correctly stated in the Judeo-Christian system, Lucifer was the first created being in our universe and he held the bandwidth of Light. lucifer’s name means “Light Bringer.”
After Michael and Sophia set up the basic structure and boundaries of our universe, the first thing that the universe needed was Light. So lucifer was the First Created and he was empowered to channel Light from Source into our Universe.
And the tales of Lucifer in this sense are true: With the exception of Michael and Sophia themselves, he was the most Brilliant, Beautiful, and Powerful Being in All of Heaven.
samael (satan), is also a Direct Creation/Child of Sophia, but at this time I am unsure if She created him on her own without Michael’s consent, as the Gnostic Text The Apocryphon of John states (quoted earlier in this paper), or if Michael did join her in his creation.
In any event, samael (I will use his original Hebrew name mostly here on out) and lucifer are not the same being.
Nor, though a Direct Child of Sophia, was he amongst the Highest Ranking of his brothers and sisters.
samael did not hold a Bandwidth of Energy for the Universe.
He was lucifer’s Highest Lieutenant. His main role was in “Creature Development,” meaning helping beings in lower realms develop and evolve. So he got to know them well.
Both lucifer and samael performed their duties admirably for aeons.
But Lucifer, as the Light Bearer, was the best acquainted with darkness amongst all of the celestials.
To do his job well, he had to be. Darkness is indeed a part of the Oneness.
One of Lucifer’s duties was to maintain the proper seals around our universe, so that no more energy came in from the Primordial darkness at the various levels of Existence as was permitted in Michael and Sophia’s Original Design.
But one day, Lucifer heard and felt a call from the other side. Some Primordial Being from beyond our universe of greater power than even Michael and Sophia, a different emanation from the ONE, tempted Lucifer with Power.
Lucifer decided to go for it and the very first seed of malevolent darkness entered his heart, and thus our universe. And this is the Original Archetype of this type of monomyth.
This is the first example in our universe of a being choosing ego over Truth, darkness over Light, selfishness over Love.
Lucifer then enacted the first pillar of evil: Untruthfulness.
He kept the darkness hidden within himself and went about his duties for a long time, all the while feeding himself from this Primordial Being of darkness and from the Primordial darkness itself.
Even Michael and Sophia did not perceive what lucifer was doing for a long time.
Finally, lucifer decided that he did not want to live under Michael and Sophia’s rule.
He wanted to rule himself.
He began corrupting his lieutenants – samael first.
And eventually, Open War Broke Out in Heaven.
URIEL
Well before this, the structure and boundaries of our Universe were well established.
The Causal Plane was inhabited by Various Types of Divine Beings, and the Astral Plane had been constructed and was being inhabited by various types of beings as well, though not nearly to what one might call capacity.
Designs were made and begun on Physical Worlds as well, and the necessary energetic infrastructure was set up to connect all these planes, but the physical worlds were not inhabited yet by anything more than animal life forms when the Rebellion Broke Out.
At some point, Michael Himself did sense what was going on in lucifer’s heart and mind.
In consultation with His “Father/Mother, “the ONE, Michael was told that Our Universe was selected to be One of Only Three Known Universes in which High Beings of Light would willingly choose darkness and rebel against the Universal Order. That Choice was to be extended to all beings in our Universe by allowing darkness to enter and then exposing all beings to it.
Most Universes in Known Existence are Designed as Universes of Light, though they may not be based on the Duality Design. Very Few are Universes of darkness simply because of the amount of suffering inherent therein.
More, the darkness needs Light to Feed On, but Light is Self-Sufficient.
It is sure that darkness feeds on darkness, but without Light, entropy develops, so Universes of darkness tend to implode.
Lucifer figured out that if he could take over Heaven, he would have all the Light he needed to prevent entropy, yet he could introduce enough darkness to make it dominant and himself king.
Michael came up with a Plan to counteract his first-born’s treachery.
First, he discovered and closed the fissure Himself through which Lucifer had been passing to meet with his dark god, absorb darkness, and bring it back to Our Universe.
Lucifer, of course, was incensed by this, but pretended to have missed that fissure.
Michael ordered other celestials to begin searching for other large fissures through which darkness might enter and to seal them.
He also had Gabriel, his third born after the Goddess of Wisdom, and others check on Lucifer more regularly and thereby prevent him from opening another large fissure, without informing them of what was really happening with Lucifer.
Michael did not want to tell anyone what was in Lucifer’s heart and mind yet before he had time to enact the third part of his plan. He needed a replacement for Lucifer.
He Needed a New God to Hold the Bandwidth of Light for Our Universe.
Michael kept all of this secret, even from Sophia.
But He suggested to Her that They Bring Forth Another Son.
All of the Bandwidth Holders of the Universe, Michael and Sophia’s Direct Children, had already been born, and in Celestial translated into Human terms, were Adults already – meaning mature and at their duties.
The “Children” had been conceived to be Universal Assistants, but Michael suggested that Sophia could have a rather unique personal relationship with this New Divine Child, as the work of Universal Creation and Administrations was already well set up and running.
Sophia suspected that Michael was up to something, but She happily agreed, desiring a chance to “baby” Her New Offspring, especially since she would have Only One at this time, and not many.
She Allowed Michael to Design the Child before Bringing Him Forth.
Secretly in His Mind, Michael Looked into the Future of His Universe.
He Saw Widespread Rebellion, Utter Chaos, and Unbelievable Suffering.
He saw that Many Would Fall to darkness. darkness would Spread Everywhere.
Feelings and Activities Completely Unknown in Heaven – Deceitfulness, Selfishness, Cruelty, Hate, Violence – Would Abound on All Sides, on All Planes, in All Dimensions.
Untold Creatures in His Realm Would Use Their Free Will to Turn Against Him.
Michael Knew that He Had Design the New Bringer of Light Very Carefully.
He Knew that He Would Have to Bring Forth a Soul Out of the ONE Who Would Have the Purity
to Never Turn to darkness, No Matter the Pressure.
He Needed a Son Who Was More Powerful than lucifer himself, to Lead the Host of Heaven to Victory in Battle Against the Forces of darkness, as darkness Would Grow Very Powerful and Spread Out Everywhere.
This Son Would Need to Endure What No Other Celestial Could Endure.
Michael Needed a Son Who Would Also Be Wise Enough to Not Succumb to the Many Deceptions and Tricks of Those Whom darkness Would Take.
And Michael Needed a Son So Loving, So Bright, So Cheerful that He Could Uplift All Those in darkness, even as He Himself would be Assailed by It.
Michael Knew He Needed to Empower this Child as He Had Not Done Any Other Before Him.
For the First and Most Pressing Need for This Son – the Need to Never Fall into darkness –
Michael had to Contend with the Law of Free Will, which of course as a Manifestation of God, He Supports.
But Free Will means that You Can Be Tempted.
What Type of Being Could be Tempted by darkness the least? One Who is the Most Repulsed by It.
Michael Needed a Son on the Exact Opposite End of the Spectrum of darkness.
Instead of Bringing Forth Another Light Bearer,
Michael Had an Idea:
“I Will Bring Forward the
LIGHT of GOD ITSELF as MY SON !!!”
And Thus Was Born URIEL.
