Book Description
Lucifer s transgression is examined, as well as the penetrating and trangressive nature of his radiance. In the popular imagination, the fallen angel Lucifer evokes such concepts as heresy, rebellion, pride, liberation from the bonds of demiurgic oppression, and impetus for human evolution. From his earliest origins, the Proud Angel has been hailed by religious and artistic countercultures as a patron saint of enlightenment his most essential quality embodying overthrow of ignorance and the inspired process of revelation. Allied to ancient Gnostic Christian cosmological conceptions, the fallen angel has also found dominion within occult traditions, folk magic, philosophy, as well as art and literature. Lucifer has also, in many enduring mystical traditions, assumed a female form in the guise of Lucina, Lucia and Diana Lucifera. In his guise as the Serpent of Eden, he bestowed the magical philosophy of the Luciferian Woman, she who was not born of the clay, and was therefore especially receptive to the forbidden powers which would render one as God.

Book Description
GOD'S MERCY He was weaving two stones, one white and one black, those who will discover them in the future will call them “ quarks ”. Destiny, fate, uncertainty of the future, abundance of wisdom, wisdom of abundance, moreover, God's word into action, the essence of movement into energy, the release of energy into images. They were placing the kernels of truth within the images. He was weaving two stones, one black, the other white, to explain the inexplicable, to make the known unknown, to constantly re-create that magnificent plane of God called heaven, in the moment. God loved contemplation and enjoyed the transformation of his creations into each other. And the angels they first created were watching every moment of creation with great pleasure. Watching was their pleasure. He asked the angels who had the right to speak; God, it would make me happy to know. What and whom did you create first? God smiled, maybe he didn't smile, but it seemed to that angel that God had smiled for him. I created myself first, I transformed myself, I stopped that force field where there was a continuous weaving without purpose and goal, and I transformed myself from NOTHING to being a creator, I transformed myself from myself and I continue to do so. In the moment, I transform from nothing into creation, from creation into NOTHING. I transform from myself to the universe , and from the universe to myself. I created myself first, my servant, I created a God from a field of NOTHING. Then, my two stones, black and white, continued weaving, I created the universe, my word was riding on an oscillation and with that force, everything found a way for itself, the roads were connected to each other, each became a bridle to the other. One pulled the other into its own spiral, everything slowed down and moved in its own way, in its own way, on its own occasion, and they found a home for themselves in an invisible hanger. The invisible became visible, and sometimes the visible became invisible. Light became a companion to darkness. My stones wove light and darkness layer by layer. They imprisoned the essence of all of them in a contemplation. I created a force that attracts, I created a force that pushes. I always wanted to see myself in my servants for a contemplation. I created situations, one face like anger and the other face like beauty. I attributed a meaning to each of them, just to give an example, and let me answer what you actually want to ask. Why did you create human beings? I added willpower to them, unlike my other servants. Just so I can see what I don't know. The angel asked in surprise; Don't you know the future? Of course I know, I am God, how can I not know? I know what will happen in the past and what will happen in the future, but I don't know which one will happen. I left the choice to those who have the will. Torment awaits those who cry out, this is the end I know. The end of those who choose to rebel and rebel is also clear, but it is better not to know. I don't know what they will choose, there are so many ways to choose. The angel looked sadly, “You will still destroy the human beings you created, Almighty Creator. Yes, this is my decision. My servant angel has misled the corrupting human beings to whom I gave respite, they have run out of options, I will destroy them and maybe I will create other races in the future. Angel continued speaking sadly. “Nevertheless, they were in an exciting contemplation, and we angels also enjoyed their situation. Do you want me to have mercy on them? asked the owner of pre-eternity and eternity. Not only I, but all of Your beloved angelic servants, who fight for You and tear off the wings of the rebellious demons and push them into the homeland of mankind and keep them confined there, beg Your mercy for mankind, for Your mercy is great.
