another ‘son’ of Callia and Enjliou, what I have been led to understand is that Lucifer was a
splitting off of that Dark energy which came from the Being of Light that Enjliou is. The archetype
that will best help describe this situation which occurred in the creation of Lucifer is from Robert
Louis Stevenson’s timeless novel of ‘good and evil’ – Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In Mary Reilly, one
of the more recent film versions made from this classic novel, we see how Mr. Hyde is absorbed
back into the body of the pained Dr. Jekyll. If we reverse this situation and extrapolate it to apply
to a Creator Son of incredible vibration and energy, we have the likely situation which occurred in
the birthing of the Darkness known as Lucifer.
Even the words spoken by Dr. Henry Jekyll as he becomes Mr. Hyde: "Free—free at last!”
help explain the archetypal feelings of a son felt trapped by the institution of a family home where
abuse and imbalance have created him as he is, and everything seems so far apart from the
norm.
Lucifer was born out of the loneliness and sadness created between Enjliou and Callia – a
child born with his own sense of loneliness and frustration. But he was beautiful, and seductive,
and intelligent. He was everything that any creation would want to be. And in some ways, of
course, he thought he was better than his Father, better than Enjliou, the Creator Son.
As we shall also soon see, this situation of imbalance between the Creator Parents and their
‘offspring’ also brought into existence other beings who were not created wholly in Light as they
are in the other Universes, but also in Darkness. The worlds of duality were brought into
existence at that time, and the struggles of the Universe and of its Creator Parents have gone on
from that one moment into the eternity which is the nowness of time, constantly upgrading and
worsening the state of unresolved duality that exists in these worlds.
Gnostic teachings have always included this idea that the Universe, and subsequently the
world, were created by a pair of “damaged” Creator Parents. This , to them, was a way of
explaining why Darkness seemed to have such a foothold on the planet—for Darkness is the
opposite of the Light which the FATHER IS, and from which all of HIS Creation should also be
made.
Although many of us consider black to be a color, black is actually defined as the absence of
color, hence, Darkness is a place which is the absence of the FATHER’s Light. The black holes of
Creation which scientists postulate as existing, are actually places where it is so Dark that they
suck in all that is Light, not even allowing Light to escape.
Schlemmer’s Council of Nine refer to Lucifer as ‘the Opposition’ –He who is in opposition to
the FATHER and to the goals of the FATHER in Creation. They say they do not even like to use
his name because of the negative vibration it carries.
“. . . that which became the negative went in competition with God: he does not represent
them . . .”
For the moment, however, we need to leave Lucifer after his manifestation and return to
what was happening further in the Creation of this Universe. Lucifer shall be treated in a separate
section in a later chapter where His role grows more central to our story.
The Disharmony Continues in the Act of Creation
Being used to a Biblical account of the Creation may tend to lead a person to believe that
the Creation of a Universe is simply a matter of snapping the fingers and saying the magic word,
