Author’s Note:  The following post was inspired by questions asked of me by Albert Foong of the Urban Monk.  Thank you Albert for your questioning and seeking of the Truth :)

On Halloween or Samhain there is a belief that remains constant regardless of how you may celebrate the holiday - this is the understanding that on October 31st - the veils that typically keep us from seeing the world of energy and spirit and keep us firmly rooted in our 3rd dimensional reality grow thin even for those who typically don’t experience such things.

In ages past, it was also thought that this made people particularly vulnerable to negative entities who use this unaccustomed sight to generate and feed off of the fear energy of the those unlucky enough to encounter them.

This kind of thinking still survives, only now it lives in the collective subconscious mind where it mostly remains out of sight and unnoticed until something stimulates it into action.

So let me stimulate you by talking about the biggest beastie of them all - Lucifer himself.  When it comes to fear-based promotion, this guy has got a great publicist - after all what could be more terrifying than the very personification of evil itself?

So who is he and what does he really want?

The answer is simple.  Lucifer is an Archangel who was given a pathway to become one of humanities greatest teachers.  Stay with me now…

Why?

Because within our evolution came a time when our third energy center became very active within us. We moved up from the level of survival and simple pleasures and now were beginning to understand that we could influence and impact the world and situations around us. We could bend nature and others to our will.  As a result, individuality began to step forward above the group or collective thinking and as it began to take over the control booth a funny thing happened…we fell into judgment.

Now during this time the lower energy centers were in control - and we basically operated from two principles - moving away from pain or moving toward pleasure.  Only now there was another element getting mixed in -  what we believed would get us pleasure (or what I call projected into the future pleasure) - and this thing came to be called desire or what I want.  Soon all things pleasurable became good, anything that promoted our sense of will was good and anything that stood in the way of it was bad.

We chose this method of learning so that we could fully experience our individual impact on the whole.  In the Archangelic realms - plans were made to support us in this learning so that we could fully explore our own power and impact through our third energy center.

The Archangelic realms mirrored our internal split - many of the Angels were assigned to be space holders for Divine energies to support us in understanding and finding our way back to Oneness.  Others, were given the job of taking on negative energies in order to mirror to us our learning choices.  These were called by history - fallen angels - however they are merely high level dark teachers wearing masks.

So who is the Devil really?

He is the essence of Duality - a paradox - he is everything scary and he is everything Light.  The best way to consider it is through the concept of a spectrum - what you see and experience of him is determined by the vibration you are humming along at when you encounter him.

If you meet up with him when you are in a vibration of fear - he’s the scariest thing on cloven feet you’ve ever seen.  From the vibration of unconditional love he is the Angel of Light - the most beautiful of Archangels - the one who sang over the throne of God.

Some angels hold the space of Light,  fallen angels have followed us down into the darkness and will not come back until we all choose the light - this is how much they love us.

Lucifer’s job is to reflect to us the darkness that lives in our hearts - so that we may choose to live in love - this is what he does.  In order to do this he has to stay rooted in Source - otherwise it would be an impossibility to be meet us at each level within the spectrum.

What is he like?

I checked in with Lucifer to have a little chat before writing this post.  He is very funny!  As you can imagine he is also very charming.  I like him a lot.  It IS difficult to maintain the vibration necessary to see him as the angel of light rather than something of darkness as it requires you to consciously disconnect from the collective belief system and several times during the our conversation I was prompted to raise my vibration.  Like I said, it’s not easy - but it can be done!

His message is that he is really working FOR you.

He really appreciates anyone who can see him through the eyes of love as it is such a rare treat!  When you realize that Lucifer is really working FOR you rather than against you - what on Earth is there to possibly be afraid of???

So my dears, be Light-based tonight.  Enter your heart centers, open your seventh chakra’s, raise your vibrations and have yourself a wonderfully fun and Happy Halloween!

I think many people, most actually, will find it difficult to believe in what you’re writing in this post. I applaud your courage. :) We’re all blinded by our judgments and belief systems. Darkness and light are both sides of the same coin. It would have been difficult to walk towards the light without the darkness; they have to co-exist for us to learn. If only people would realise this.

Hey Paula - thanks for expanding on the info. A fascinating read, and I agree with Winnie - it does take courage to post something like this, especially knowing how some people will react when you present something that really (and I mean REALLY)clashes with their belief system. Loving all this, thanks for gently bringing me towards this new path of development. :D

Hi Paula,

You have a fascinating gift of translating darkness into light. Thanks for showing us a whole new perspective of what love, light and truth is about.

I agree with Winnie that light and dark are two sides of the same coin and that we could not learn our lessons in life if they did not co-exist, and I agree with Irene that you’ve given us a fresh and fascinating perspective of how light, love, and truth can play out. Yours is an enlightened perspective of light and dark.

Hey Paula,

I am loving the way you are exploring darkness at the moment. It’s awesome! Confronting - yes, but also illuminating.

Hi Winnie,

Thank you for your comment! What comes to mind is getting to know the dark in order to more fully experience the Light. For me, this is connected to how I process my shadow side which I dare say is one of the best and most enriching learning experiences I have :)

Hey Albert,

You are so welcome! I believe that our belief systems assist our growth in all stages of existence. If they are under threat and possibly collapse we can thank them for the period in which they really served us, be grateful for the opportunity to examine how they might currently be limiting us and rejoice in the fact that whenever something falls apart it creates a vacuum for something new and typically more evolved to rise up from out of the ashes ;)

Symbolically the death of anything always equals growth and change - even if we don’t always see it that way at the time that it is happening!

Hi Irene,

You’re welcome…and thank you for really seeing and giving voice to one of my Soul level gifts - I am after all a Mintaken/Gabrielite :D

Hi Christopher,

Thank you so much for this comment! Christopher has given us a real offering here that I would like to pass on to everyone who has commented on this post.

Enter a receptive state of mindfulness and hear Christopher’s statement, “yours is an enlightened perspective of light and dark”… as this really applies to each and everyone of you.

Hi Kara-Leah,

Getting comfortable with darkness is part of the learning involved with opening oneself up to unconditional love and closely connecting with the Light - my path confronts me and my understandings - asks me to travel outside of the safety and security of the familiar and calls me to boldly explore what was previously to me, unknown :)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

Love and angel blessings to you all!

Hi Paula,
Its interesting to me especially this post. And your especially pointing out that “enlightened perspective of light and dark.” Co-existing in the spiritual realm within the layers.
