Luciferianism Overview and Guidelines for posting/membership in the Luciferian DIR
- Lucifer, light-bearer, is a title that can be earned by any person, deity, spiritual being, etc, and in some cases it can be the name of a specific entity. This path is individualistic and not dogmatic. However, even if Lucifer is seen as a specific being, worshiping or dedicating yourself to this God is logically not Luciferian in nature, as the path is one of individuality and personal freedom. Honoring, communicating with, invoking this being, whether Lucifer be a title or a name, is up to the individual practitioner.
- The quest for knowledge is essential to the path. All knowledge that can be gained is good, but the rejection of false knowledge and acceptance of factual knowledge also is important. To believe that the earth is flat despite the objective fact it is not is logically not to commit to knowledge / light-bearing. It should be noted that knowledge includes knowledge of self.
- Luciferian is more basic than atheistic, theistic, gnostic, deistic, polytheistic, etc etc etc. Anyone can be a Luciferian if they wish to be, and the existence of God is neither an objectively true or false fact, so there is no logical contradiction in believing either way.
- Truth over comfort is obviously important, as the concept of lucifer is light-bearer. If a fact contradicts your beliefs, to amend your beliefs is logically the Luciferian thing to do whereas accepting a false believe is not to commit to truth.
- The Luciferian path is primarily Left-Hand Path, and is open to all magic(k), occultism, etc etc etc. It is an individualistic path, and there is nothing a Luciferian must do or is not allowed to do. The "criteria" for the title is simply logical.
- Nobody has more of a "right" to the title than any others, it is simply based on reason.
- The ability to use mythology and symbolism effectively and learn from it while still being able to recognize it is not actually true is an important aspect of the Luciferian path.
- The Luciferian does not need to wear their label on their sleeve, nor seek approval. It is a personal commitment and nobody needs to know. (This is more in life than the forum. )
- While a Luciferian does not necessarily need to be a teacher and share their knowledge, part the the logical criteria is they must be a student and take in knowledge.
- For a Luciferian, the quest for knowledge has to come before the ego's desire to be right. In order to learn, one must be willing to be wrong and lose arguments.
- The burden of Knowledge of Self is on the Luciferian, as nobody else can every truly understand who you are. Personal experiences, such as mystical experiences, may validate belief for any individual person, but a Luciferian realizes that personal experience is not objectively valid and is not a usable premise in the argument for any objective truth.
- Everyone wishes to think they are on the quest for factual knowledge, even if they knowingly reject accepted fact to do so. This perception is irrelevant. Factual knowledge is not dependent on how one feels, only what is actually true.
- Fideism is a direct contradiction of the Luciferian path.
- The Luciferian accepts that objective truths exist and that there is reality external of the mind, even though we perceive that reality and those truths subjectively.
