Lucifer bears the Light, but Christ is the Light; thus Lucifer is the Christophor, the Christ-Bringer. Another phrase from early Christianity also suggests this relationship: Christus verus Luciferus, which means “ Christ is the true Light-Bearer
Lucifer, as the embodiment of the Astral Light, of visible, revealed light can also be interpreted as the embodiment of the Fall into that Light, into the vast realm of Earth characterized by light travelling just under the speed of light. It sounds paradoxical if not confusing, but at the exact “speed” of light, there is no light or time or motion. That is the Pleroma, or Heaven.
The created worlds of Earth are the vehicles for speeds less than the full speed of light, from a little to a lot . Lucifer’s Fall was a speeding violation for going slower. Equally penetrating is the insight offered by one of Blavatsky’s contemporaries, the occultist Eliphas Levi (whom she cites) who wrote in 1860 that the Fall of Adam was an “erotic intoxication” with this “fatal light.” This made all subsequent humans similarly vulnerable to and “menaced” by the “exceedingly dangerous exaltation of this interior phosphorus.”
The Astral Light, Levi proposed, is the demonic fire of hell, the central fire that encompasses the Earth, consuming everything and leading to intoxication and “sin,” and it is also the revelation of the “Great Magical Agent,” the celestial Lucifer, the Morning Star of intelligence, who is the vehicle of light, the receptacle of all forms, and a “mediating force” diffused throughout all the created realms.
All the seeds of stars, planets, gods, humans, living creatures contained within Phanes’ silver egg comprise the Light that Lucifer is Lord and Bearer of. Lucifer contains this prodigy of Light, so therefore he is its Lord. He is Lord of Light not out of ambition, but because this is how the Supreme Being made him: he is the container of the light of creation and the means by which the world is visible. His appointed task is to bear and bare the Light, to be reservoir and epiphany. Lucifer is the Lord of Light because the Light he holds births the stars, which is to say, generates the multiplicity of gods. They are beholden to Lucifer for their Light and are subsequent to him in the sequence of creation
