minor disclaimer, my typing is a little off as i'm on my bf's phone that i'm not used to
1. Lucifer is the cosmic aspect of light, truth, and it's revelation through divination and meditation. In two words, Jnana Yoga.
2. several texts have influenced me, almost all are either satanic or hindu with a few buddhist ones... if we count religious texts that is. scientific knowledge and the history of science as well as fiction has shaped my philosphical positions by either making good points or giving some insight into either humanity or cosmic nature.
3. Lucifer is an entity when considered as an archetypical construct of one's on psyche or as a symbol to strive towards as one such archetype or ideal. Stories such as Prometheus or the serpent in the garden of Eden (when interpreted in a quasi-gnostic light) serve as examples. It can manifest as a lucifer in a title sense in an arbitrary way as interpreted by the observer experiencing duality but ultimately one's self is lucifer as they are everything, so it will come down to where they are spiritually as well as culturally as to what degree they will identify with this symbology. Lucifer can also manifest as a spirit due to belief or cultural conciousness making it effectively real to the observer. in the end the subjective experience is subject to the observer's bias and beliefs.
4. i think satan encapsulates all, so lucifer is an aspect of satan to me. i would consider both as well as siva and kali as all equally important symbols for the nondual cosmic all as their characteristics compliment well and have rich mythology to draw revelation and inspiration from.
5. yes. i am hindu as well as satanist and belong to a satanic organization. i am firstly hindu, but not exclusively so given its universal theology. I consider myself luciferian as well in addition to a few other groups/religions.
6. Yes, as a spirit experienced as being external and independent to me at least twice during a ritual. honestly most of the time i more see lucifer as an aspect of myself or something greater to emulate: the discovery of and sharing of revelation and truth spiritual or otherwise. this even involves helping others find their subjective truths pertaining towards who they are or want to be or should be. it's a set of values more than a literal experience of a so called supernatural, to me anyway.
