Yes. it is as old as religion.

All casts a shadow in the light of truth.

The books of the Old Testament are testament to this very battle.

Each time the spirit was tainted as 'mammon' (god of physicality)...civilizations suffered, burned and were over-turned with the previous deity as demon.

The luciferian motto didn't exist verbatim in ancient times. But the con-fusion between the personal will and divine has always existed and will usually materialize in some anthropromorphic fashion.

Two are taken up to a high place of understanding.

ONE sees the true source by continually looking for it........the OTHER attempts to create a system of power by it, to fulfill desire and instill fear.......the mind killers.

These are the two on a high place. Not the common 'believer'.

The difference between the 99 and the 1 are too subtle for most, let alone the battle between the warlock and the sage (wizard).

Lucifer is knowledge of the material world and thereby 'rules' it.....until the Trickster's trick is known for what it is.

The 'original' system is the universe as it is, and to know it is to be free from distortion.

Occult explanations distort with purpose and agenda.
