Thank you Oxygenation, your reply helped me understand the intent of the OP much better.
May I add, I FULLY understand where you are coming from. I also felt this fear when I began looking into the Mysteries and occult. In pursuing the
ethereal, the mystical, the esoteric... was I actually inviting in and reaching out towards Lucifer? At times the indoctrination of the concepts of
evil made me feel stand-offish towards the knowledge I was encountering.
I have looked within to the 'Self' that transcends all perceptions and thought. I have unveiled the illusions of Ego. I have glimpsed the
interconnectedness of reality.
Is 'Lucifer' evil? Should He be feared? Know Thyself and there will be nothing to fear.
Peace unto you.
