8-9 Years ago, in college, I re-read Dante's Inferno on my own time.

I advise reading it if you want an entry into the esoteric battlefield of the Great Awakening.

However, one thing seemed more off to me than others.

The description of the Devil was not to my "liking."

Dante described him as a monstrous brute half-submerged in a frozen lake, flapping his wings madly only to further freeze himself into confinement.

The symbolism is apt, that the beast was held in the 9th circle by his own ambition, but the description of the figure himself I found wrong and slanted. Dante's hatred of political, biblical, and church figures seemed like he had an agenda that masked his vision. Instead, he saw his own brutish hatred manifest before him, which clouded his judgement.

Instead, after reading it and going into one of many sleep-spells I suffer from, I'm now confident I was able to discern the form of the one we call Lucifer.

First, some lore.

His original name before The Fall was Haylel(Hallel), meaning "Light of God." English suffers from a lack of the proper word, but it more appropriately translates to "The spotlight and focus of God for which we give praise."

You see, people used to think eyes shot out rays of light and the light bounced back, and that's how we saw, much like optical lasers do today. So when someone looks at you, they would be sending light towards you. Hence the "Light-Bringer" namesake.

All angels and archangels have names with "el" or the phenotype of that syllable included in their names (some say it is a butchering of the Eloha/Elohai worshipping cult that scales way back into Babylonian antiquity and may include aliens, but I digress on that topic for now).

For example:

Raphael means "Healer of God"

Raziel means "Secrets of God"

Gabriel means "Strength of God" more along the lines of authority and persistence than just brutishness, think of the sheriff archetype, or "the force" of God

Michael means "One who is like unto God" more aptly, the anticipation of God, musically "the introduction in a composition of part of a chord which is about to follow in full." or similarly

So, Haylel means "Light of God"

Think of it like the stagehand in a play who is behind directing where the stage lights are being aimed. That was the authority God bestowed to the Cherubim Haylel. He was tasked to be the stage light of God and aim the focus of God's Will upon the World.

Haylel is/was the "spotlight."

Now, imagine if the guy running the spotlights and microphones (stage director) just got told by God to introduce everyone's new boss, His Son, whom will now be able to command all the actors and stage-hands around and has authority to do anyone else's job.

You can kind of see how he would get upset, but since he is the first guy to "put the spotlight" on the Revelation of what is to come, he plots a way to delay the announcement of the Coming of Man. God confronts him and strips him of his stage director title, effectively firing him.

Rebelliously, Haylel sneaks back to the spotlights aims the light off to the side when the Man comes on stage. The Man tries to get into the spotlight, but Haylel keeps moving it away from him. So now there is this foolish dance where it seems the stage-light operator is guiding around Man. God comes in and sees this and is ashamed by how easily His son is being toyed with and the fist comes down.

Man(Adam) is tossed from the stage and his authority is stripped while Haylel gets kicked out of the building, now stuck looking through the windows and tricking people who look outside to do bad things inside the theatre.

So, now you see how Lucifer abused his namesake. The "Light Bringer" is quite literal, given this analogy.

But, what of the description of his form? What is the vision I saw?

Well, you see, that's where I have a problem.

I have reasoned the form of the one called Lucifer; I know what he looks like beyond a reasonable doubt.

However, I am nothing special. As I look more and more in popular culture, I see him represented in media. Others have also seen him. Only the ones truly disgusted with him and who celebrate Humans for the Creations of God they are will have represented him in his true form, as he likes to hide behind masks and his demonic generals.

You can very easily discover his form for yourself, if you were to dedicate to it carefully.

He is nothing like what you think. You will be taken aback by him, completely helpless before his "charisma" and you would even die for him if you permit your emotions to cloud your judgement and the Serpent to graft scales onto your eyes.

That's another way of saying "The path to hell is paved with good intentions."

Lucifer uses your own pity for him against you. You cannot outsmart, out-think, or out-wit the Devil, the Slanderer.

He will use God's own Law against you, by means of removing its proper context.

"Look here, what it says by God's own hand! Look here and only here! Do not flip the page to see what the next line says, surely it is not an exception to what I am telling you is what God wishes you to do! Why would I lie to you, just trust me and do as I say -- as it is written right here as I have said!"

He is not to be underestimated.

His namesake is to make you look where he wants you to look; hear what he wants you to hear. That is his authority, given to him by God, and to strip it completely from him would mean stripping it from the Universe.

God will not destroy His Creation, even if it means removing a component all of us would rather be done away with. He Loves His Creation and us who inhabit it far too much for that.

So, on to his form, and the subject of my current strife.

I am cautious to describe him physically. Personally, I doubt I will do it justice, as the last few times I have tried with close family the lesson seemed lost on them. It did not effect them as it did me, and I fear they have become lost to the novelties of such a subject.

Like those who read a book when young and unlearned, they have an apprehension to reading it again, thinking their time better spent reading of new things.

"I already read that book years ago, I don't need to read it again."

That is why I, myself, have apprehension in just plainly telling you his form. There is a chance it will be lost on you, because you are not ready to fully grasp what it means, and the "clever" one will be able to hide in the blindspots formed from my hasty description. That's actually why I thought to open this by describing him by his works.

How many other things do you "know" and on account of your "knowing of it" you have built a pre-cognition of that thing and are blind to any alterations?

I can't find it now, but there was a video I watched years ago where they did a street experiment. They'd present people with a picture of the Mona Lisa and ask them some questions about it. They showed that the more that people were familiar with the Mona Lisa, the less likely they were to notice the UFO they added hovering above the hills in the background. The sum of it was, their prior experiences with the image had created a short-hand version of it in their brains, such that when they actively viewed the Mona Lisa while distracted (given the goal of conversation about the Mona Lisa), they failed to notice the UFO because their brain was filling in the gaps and presenting an illusory minds-eye version that corrupted they visual working memories.

In other words, their minds obscured their vision.

Here's the closest study I could find to support the video I have since been unable to find, as though it had been scrubbed from the internet (I've spent 5 hours looking for it):

Can this be abused? What is sleight of hand? What is a Lie?

That's why I'm finding it hard to share the nature of his form. If I put that thought in your mind, you may create a cognitive bias for what he looks like such that the other forms he takes will be masked in your blindspot.

I don't know for certain the repercussions of giving you a full description of him, but it may affect the way you look at innocence, which is something I wouldn't want to force on someone.

But how am I certain that I know what he looks like?

Like I've said, I've seen him in popular media, though I discovered his form before I really began noticing his representative prevalence.

He's always the same type of character but varies in discernable "age" to suit the story. He's universally always the villain every time he is shown, so I have a substantial feeling that the authors have seen him too, and know that nothing of him is to be heralded as heroic short of being revealed to be a false heroism propped up by deception. Those who worship him don't like showing his true form, with the reasons why being too vast to go into now.

Though, I have noticed, the Japanese really aren't afraid to show him. Probably because they are outside his primary sphere of influence in the waking world at the moment, which plays into my second reaffirming source for his description -- one that I'd say accurately described him just as I had discerned for myself. It comes from a Demonic Grimoire I recently read in my pursuit to uncover the origins of the Seal of Lucifer.

I won't mention the name of the book or recount its description because I've already given you enough to find it on your own.

Finally, I'm supported by one distinction I've concluded in my time pondering about all this; that while I have discerned through reason and logic the form of Lucifer, I have not felt his presence.

I pray I never will.

I came close though. I "entertained" the spirit if nihilism for a while, but I realized that the more I thought about nihilism and using its own arguments to shock and awe people in debate, the more I realized I was slowly attuning myself to the mindset, even though I thought I was carefully putting together a strawman. In other words, I wouldn't recommend it for any reason other than to find out it is a bad idea, like burning your hand on a stove.

In time, when God gives me reason to do so, I will write up my physical description of Lucifer here, but as for now I will leave you with the analogy of him I wrote above and end this with a call for you to ponder on your own, as I did, so that you can build up his figure through discernment and not my own bias.

Given the state of the world, and the depraved vices of our elite, I will say that the answer to what he looks like is plainly obvious to the degree of utter disgust.

Why might I prompt you discern what he looks like, you ask?

Well, because to know your enemy requires you to look upon him and give him neither you pity nor your fear. Until you feel nothing towards your enemies but the Love of God, that requires they repent of their sins so that they may join us in paradise, you will be taken in by them.

Anyway, this is already too long, so that's all for now.

God Bless, and for those of you who will take me up on this adventure , if I had to say what color, I'd go with a Driftwood / Light Strawberry Blonde. If you know, you know.
