The word ''cherub'' being in there doesn't mean ****. Considering that it could mean a bunch of different things when you look at the original translation and the context it was spoken in. Hell, it could be a metaphor. This is in regards to the whole Helel thing.
I have never really read the Kybalion so I can't necessarily say what I think of Lucifer in terms of the Kybalion. As I read through this website which explains it... I come to the conclusion that I know these things but I have them in my mind under different teminologies. This is due to my studies in thelema... which takes a lot from the hermetic traditions.
In terms of dualism... I see Lucifer and God, as Chaos/Rebellion and Order, respectively.
Going to either polarity has its' benefits... I don't view them necessarily as the source of All That Is... just two principles/forces that are in opposition. It reminds me a lot of zoroastrianism and zurvanism... the whole point of there being a good twin and a bad twin who desire to rule the kingdom.
The kingdom being creation. If you look at The Diabolicon they show Lucifer as a rebel for free-will and God as the source of Order... Order naturally desires to conform everything to One Will which cannot allow free-thinking and Will to be. Chaos naturally is the tendency to think and to rebel against Order... to differentiate. It all comes down to the concept of ''what came first''... Is chaos temporary - being brought back into the dripping jaws of Father Order? Is order temporary - being brought back into the vagina dentata of Mother Chaos?
Instead of looking at Lucifer from the point of being a rebel who just desires to live his life - they view this force as something selfish and proud.
Another thought with Pride. In my particular form of Luciferianism... just as the ego is destroyed to allow the light of The All in... the ego is exalted in Luciferianism and unites with one's spark of divinity to produce a flame which cannot die within the darkness of existence... a flame that cannot be eaten by Order.
Those who Fall will find their Heaven
and will always be adored.
In Plaudo Atri Matris!
