We now see a Lucifer who has existed in Hell for a span of time 
beyond human comprehension.  Having been totally immersed in the fact 
that God cannot be overthrown (for we imagine the young Lucifer always 
hoping that it was somehow possible), he now is filled with only two 
emotions, Revenge and Hatred.  This change is only to be expected.  
Eternity in Hell combined with the realization that God could not be 
defeated inspires in Lucifer a new conviction.  "It is because of God that I 
am in such torment and so I must destroy everything that he deems holy!"  
	The creator of the Luciferian ideal, the sacrificial affirmer of creation, 
becomes a being defined by his hatred of God and Reality, and inevitably 
decides that he must become the destroyer of creation.  This is the 
irrational decision of a tortured, disillusioned soul, once the most beautiful 
of all creation, now the most despised.  If Reality is intrinsically unjust 
then it must not only be rejected, but destroyed, and, as God is invincible, 
the other face of Reality, creation, must become the target.  Man, 
logically, will become both the instrument and the victim of this 
destruction.

IV. The Fall of the Angels, The Fall of Man

	It is thus that the new rebellion is carried out on Earth.  Negation and 
destruction replace the original Luciferism founded on affirmation.  The 
spiritual suicide of Lucifer is now the physical suicide of man, for if he is 
to become the instrument of negation, he must destroy creation and thus, 
ultimately, he must destroy himself.  Eve was a Luciferian rebel, but Cain 
is merely evil.  He kills for his own sake, and in his frenzy of destruction 
forgets the Luciferian ideal.  Physical man was created because of the idea 
that creation should be like God, but he only remembers that he, 
individually, should be like God.  Lucifer is deformed into Satan, a 
creature of pure Hatred, and man follows him through the transformation.  
Satanism, sacrificing Eternity for the pleasure of the moment, replaces 
Luciferism, sacrificing Eternity for the most noble of ideals.  	
	Destruction for the sake of destruction, negation for the sake of 
negation: the Luciferian ideal is forgotten even by its creator.  Man is in
