Luciferianism For Dummies

Phillip D. Collins said ...
Luciferianism constitutes the nucleus of the ruling class religion. While there are definitely political and economic rationales for elite criminality, Luciferianism can account for the longevity of many of the oligarchs' projects. Many of the longest and most brutal human endeavors have been underpinned by some form of religious zealotry. The Crusades testify to this historical fact. Likewise, the power elite's ongoing campaign to establish a socialist totalitarian global government has Luciferianism to thank for both its longevity and frequently violent character. In the mind of the modern oligarch, Luciferianism provides religious legitimacy for otherwise morally questionable plans.

Luciferianism is the product of religious engineering, which sociologist William Sims Bainbridge defines as "the conscious, systematic, skilled creation of a new religion" ("New Religions, Science, and Secularization," no pagination). In actuality, this is a tradition that even precedes Bainbridge. It has been the practice of Freemasonry for years.

It was also the practice of Masonry's religious and philosophical progenitors, the ancient pagan Mystery cults. The inner doctrines of the Mesopotamian secret societies provided the theological foundations for the Christian and Judaic heresies, Kabbalism and Gnosticism. All modern Luciferian philosophy finds "scientific" legitimacy in the Gnostic myth of Darwinism. As evolutionary thought was popularized, variants of Luciferianism were popularized along with it (particularly in the form of secular humanism, which shall be examined shortly). A historical corollary of this popularization has been the rise of several cults and mass movements, exemplified by the various mystical sects and gurus of the sixties counterculture. The metastasis of Luciferian thinking continues to this very day.

Luciferianism represents a radical revaluation of humanity's ageless adversary: Satan. It is the ultimate inversion of good and evil. The formula for this inversion is reflected by the narrative paradigm of the Gnostic Hypostasis myth. As opposed to the original Biblical version, the Gnostic account represents a "revaluation of the Hebraic story of the first man's temptation, the desire of mere men to 'be as gods' by partaking of the tree of the 'knowledge of good and evil'" (Raschke 26).

Happy New Year!!

Glad you had this topic posted.

I wanted to ask you your take on this issue as it relates to Jay-Z's newest video: "On to the Next One." Apparently, the buzz is that the video "proves" that Jay-Z worships Satan, based on the images that are depicted. I've watched the video 4 times in a row, pausing, starting, rewinding. I'm curious on others' take.

lol ...

Happy New Year CNu.

That's a good one. That's a good one.

Now please...

Take your seat. In the front row of the class. Just like last term.

No.

Not next to Thordaddy! Move over to the next row. Right there. Sit down next to Big Man.

Now, class.

Let's get this semester started off on the right foot shall we?

I'm going to proceed with the curriculum ... and you can take up where you left off: Pretending to argue, when you know you are being blessed.

Denmark Vesey is school baby.

I'm like ... the black Obi Wan Kinobe. (Denzel)

My brother CNu is ... Luther Skywalker, the Negro Jehdi. (Levar Burton)

I know I know CNu. You want to get back to your Sci-Fi nerd fantasy, where Luther Skywalker Saves Mankind, (or the parts of mankind deemed worthy of saving) by delivering just in the nick of time, just before GLOBAL CATASTROPHE ... a world changing technological breakthrough! (read: Secular apocalypse myth masquerading as - "the force" or "open source software" or "clean energy made from garbage" or "solar toilet paper" or "brain stem therapy" or "carbon credits".

Nerds nursed at the breast of Sci-Fi are predisposed to view the world through the lens of IMPENDING GLOBAL DISASTER ... Unless .... Some nerd ... previously ignored geek ... proves he was right all along ... and saves the world with his King Arthur / Harry Potter goodness.

"Global Warming" is Nerd speak for "The Death Star".

The "On To The Next One" video and the one with Bey in a dress that is supoosed to represent a demonic symbol just seem as though they are influenced by '80's British style magazine "The Face".

Since the '80's seem to be back in style - most of popular culture will be influenced by it.

Here.

Here's a version of the video that points out a few potential masonic symbols. I'm reminded of the whole Beatles "Paul is Dead", subliminal messages thing. There's probably a little bit of truth to it, and probably a lot of "let's play into it, and sell a whole fuckovalot more records" to it.

I asked the question based on a discussion a relative was having on his webpage. He believes taht the baphomet, the use of black and white, the dancer (sex magic), the image of Jesus on the cross with 2 bullets on either side of him, etc are indicators.

I actually enjoyed the whole "Paul is Dead" thing. A friend of mine spent 20 minutes picking apart the Abbey Road cover with me. :-)
