Knowledge and logic are keys to freeing your mind and Satan is the one who gifted them to man. It was difficult to drop my engrained fear. Knowing that acquiring wisdom requires moving mental mountains I wasn't sure what to expect. After I finally dropped my apprehension that I would be forfeiting my soul the minute I opened my heart to Lucifer I started to make some real advances. I embraced my enemy with compassion and attempted to understand and see things from his perspective. It just sort of happened somewhere around here. There was no specific thought or feeling preceding illumination. It was because that I know nothing and was willing to consider all possibilities as real that it happened.
It was a flash of light that melted over me. I've had other subtle body experiences that were more intense but this was quite nice. I'm not sure how to describe what is different but I definitely "lost some mental baggage" after it happened. Things are more lucid, I can reach stillness easier.
Of course there is the concern that I have been deceived. I think that is part of my lesson though, if Lucifer gave us the knowledge to think and question, I know I need to always be willing to ask hard questions. Wherever there is fear, there is a chance for growth.
Anyway I wanted to get this post up quickly. I didn't want to overload the topic with stuff I'll likely have to reexplain, so have at it, what do you want to talk about?
You believe you gave your soul over? I take it you are working from a traditional christian perspective. If so, it doesnt bother you that you are going to be tourterd for the next couple of eons?
