In a follow-up to my previous post on the subject, I have given the matter of how the opposing forces of void (absolute still, calm) and chaos (absolute movement, epicenter) are to be harnessed for maximum results.

I also had to revise my method of working with both, as a few months ago or a year ago, I did not see the full pattern. Observing how this unfolded, let me recount my steps:

The active sense, (chaos) made me feel uneasy since I had too much work and no way of organizing and making sure I could deliver. I managed to implement a process to manage chaos, by collecting and prioritizing everything. Suddenly I had everything in control. The action is attachment and control into everything.

The passive sense, (calm) suffered because of this since I started organizing this as well. This is a mistake, and a mystic operation will be nearly impossible if you try to time-manage your meditation or try to create tasks lists from lucid dreams. The correct action here is letting go, non-attachment, not controlling.

So the third realization is how to combine these experiences into one unified model. It finally resolved a lot of issues for me because:

1 – Creativity is blocked if you regard everything as things you can control or micro-manage into the limited dimensions of time, resources, context, action.

2 – Creativity is blocked if you don’t control your mundane tasks.

Solution: I learned when to let go and when to not let go.

While it is fun being effective (and people will think you are a genious if you can do 199 tasks in 4 hours) it doesn’t really do anything for you. People will just give you their tasks .. plus you risk doing stuff that doesn’t need to be done. Then, understand that in any given day you can perform a maximum of 3-4 major tasks, at the most.

Learn to delete tasks that you don’t do in a week or two that you were supposed to do last week. if it is important, it will turn up through another channel anyway. (DROP TASKS).

Learn to prioritise tasks not from client’s expectations but to what you want to accomplish in one day. In my case it is:

A) Perform well at work, give 100% but not more. After all I have a life outside of work. 8 hours is more than enough.

B) Mundane tasks, if any (pick up car from auto shop, water flowers, buy groceries)

C) Taking care of friends and family

D) Esoteric work – meditation, rituals, etc

E) Exoteric work (community, organisational, etc)

F) Sleep (good quality sleep)

In this case it is important to remember that I control A-F though sometimes expectations are given from external side (clients, mentors, audience) but I control how I perform at any given time in the focus. Other time I am the one both to perform and to enjoy the results of my work.

For CREATIVITY to thrive, everything that has to be done, like work and routine, should be flowing automatically. If it doesn’t then it’s a good idea to fix it so it does. Otherwise it can get in the way of passive things like meditation or sleep. You soon realise that if you lack in one of the active or passive states, the whole life becomes troublesome and tiring.

That is why people who are out of work but only sleep all day are depressed, because they can have a lot of creative ideas, but they have no way of putting those ideas into actions.

Also, people who only perform actions have trouble sleeping, so they are depressed, because the body and mind is unhealthy.

Only when correct balance between action and non-action can true happiness be developed.

My inspiration comes from two sources, mainly. One is associated with the chaos of life, like a crashing wave of information and impressions. It could be a concept at work that captures my interest, a book I am reading, or a website or even an online video about any subject that I am interested in.

The other is when I find inspiration being calm, or meditating, that is when I try to think about nothing or not to be attached to expectations, feelings, emotions, concepts, ideas, form.

The mind balances itself among the two extremes of calm and chaos, although people rarely take advantage of those extremes, as people tend to get caught up in the moment.

Try to go with the flow. Ride the storm and enjoy it as an active observer, using every opportunity to catch something interesting that may fuel your inspiration, creativity and ability to appreciate Life. Enjoy solitude too, and the silence and peace of mind that arise when you finally block everything out, even for a moment.

The lesson is: Every moment, chaotic or silent, is an opportunity for creativity.

Creativity is the spur of Idea that will be under the direction of Will to be set into Action. This is what some people call ‘doing The Great Work’.

Just like conflict, is human nature, so is religion.

Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values. But the main thing about religion is that it is social.

Religion is so wide-spread, diverse, and exists among so many cultures, and has been known to have existed since first recorded history. By statistical analysis alone, the argument holds valid.

Could it be, that even atheists have religion? Would it be fair to say, their religion is not to have a religion? If an atheist does not believe in god, the act of not believing becomes the belief. Have you observed how an atheist often try to convert believers into non-believers? Or as the christian fundamentalist spends time criticizing atheists, atheists spend an equal time on criticizing christians or other religions.

A person can define not to demonstrate any belief in an external god, spiritual entities or anything larger than themselves.

Then, they put faith in themselves, and their lower self strives to purify their higher self.

Humans have the need to separate the gold from the black earth, alchemically speaking.

It is my idea that the root of religion lies in this concept of trying to grasp what is essentially sacred, divine nature of ourself, then something goes horribly wrong as we lost the language to tap into the proper concept long ago – the “fall” if you will – and it left us in a confused state of being disconnected from our divine nature.

So when we do this work of regaining control of our own inner temple – the social part comes into play, sometimes humans don’t care, or just submit to an oppressive dogmatic system, only very, very few takes the time to walk the path themselves.

Luciferians need to be social, while avoiding the pitfalls of human nature. Religion is almost 99% of the case in the way of humans to progress, but as with conflict, religion is not all-bad, it is a symptom and not the root cause. Like with conflict, the answer to master the root cause of religion is: know yourself.

Competition is in our DNA. Everyone is a winner but also potential loser. It starts when the first sperm cell wins the race to the egg. And from there on, it continues as life is unfair and every living thing is competing for resources. The universal law if to pull towards equilibrium and to let everything flow through the paths of least resistance. Unfortunately although the universe is mostly in a vacuum, we don’t live in a vacuum, unlike what most people think, and in our oddball world everything is unbalanced.

Since struggle is inevitable, conflict is in human nature is inevitable. The key to master conflict is to accept that it is part of life and know yourself. Modern society and moralists alike try to pretend that conflict is all-bad and therefore knowing how to master conflict is bad. It is true that one should pick ones battles carefully. But unless there is conflict at some time, there will be no progress. If only people would understand that this progress can come at a terrible price, differences would be settled with minimum force necessary, reducing losses on both sides.

I am against war due to the horrible way war is fought these days. But I can’t ignore it. The art of war has lost its honor because it never had one to begin with. All the war heroes just happened to win, rarely is the heroes from the other side recognized. Yet war and romantic ideas of heroism go together. It makes for good storytelling. Although throughout history, the civilian population has always suffered in war, it used to be much less damage to citizens, and soldiers took the most hit. Today soldiers sit in bunkers with remote-controlled unmanned drones playing video games with people’s lives.

But I digress.

This Luciferian cannot escape the fact of life that like night follows day, there is a cycle of peace and war, that goes in ebbs and flows, sometimes conflict can be a healthy push for a change, sometimes it can destroy everything. The only thing we can do is to fight according to our ideals, and pay respect to the wisdom of past masters of warfare to help us choose our battles and not have to fight. If one has to fight, one must make sure to win.

Like Mr. Miyagi said in “Karate kid”:

Daniel: Hey – you ever get into fights when you were a kid?
Miyagi: Huh – plenty.
Daniel: Yeah, but it wasn’t like the problem I have, right?
Miyagi: Why? Fighting fighting. Same same.
Daniel: Yeah, but you knew karate.
Miyagi: Someone always know more.
Daniel: You mean there were times when you were scared to fight?
Miyagi: Always scare. Miyagi hate fighting.
Daniel: Yeah, but you like karate.
Miyagi: So?
Daniel: So, karate’s fighting. You train to fight.
Miyagi: That what you think?
Daniel: [pondering] No.
Miyagi: Then why train?
Daniel: [thinks] So I won’t have to fight.
Miyagi: [laughs] Miyagi have hope for you.

What makes you really excited? How do you evolve? If you are really passionate about something, the best way to develop it is to take whatever you do, and do it in public.Blogging is one of the best way to perform in public. You can write, upload art, publish something online and instantly get feedback from your audience in the form of comments, emails.

Loose bonds of co-performing can form dynamically as the performers who interact in blogs create works in response  to your work, perhaps incorporating pieces of it, weaving it with their own.

The constant evolving happens fast: You do something, you get instant response. What could take years take months or even weeks through the fantastic medium the internet. Fast-paced, instant, global, and it has no borders, it can capture the interest across cultures and timezones, conquering much of the time/space continuum of this planet we live on with the speed of light.

During public writing and constant feedback you tend to try different things. You will know if it works, if it makes things better or worse, right away. My blog has just in a few months several houndred readers per month.

As a Luciferian, and especially through mostly written work, I express words, ideas, and thoughtforms that I hope come together as simple art. That is my performance.

Someone spoke of social networking sites as being a potential ‘market’ for the exchange of ideas. I think the main point of expressing yourself as a Luciferian is not limited to peddling ideas, it’s about performing, capturing interest, evolving around people who evolve, sharing the experience, not just at an intellectual level, but thought forms, that can be shaped into such organic-ness they almost take on a life of their own, like when a musical artist creates a piece of music, that later another musical artist use for inspiration, then creates something entirely new and so on.

Luciferian art and work should express our limitless potential as our own ultimate authority over ourself, in respect and love for life and what true freedom is about, and all the responsibilities and risks that come with having all the power and glory in the universe.

Lucifer means ‘light bringer’. The Light we bring shines as an example for others as well as inspiration for ourselves to constantly improve towards perfection.

Luciferians are singular universes who share some similarity through diversity. Our light combined that shines in the dark casts its own shadow upon those who simply are LHP posers, or those that have chosen to live differently. This combined light is a multiverse of possibilities of realities while keeping in resonance with our archetype of Venus, Lucifer, light bringer, etc.
