You’ve been lied to about Lucifer all this time

There’s an old idea that something like Lucifer didn’t just “tempt” humanity, but awakened something inside us.

Not evil in the simple sense, more like a spark.

He gave human beings inner light -- the ability to think, imagine, question, and say “I”.
Before that, we weren’t exactly unconscious, but we weren’t fully separate either. We lived more in harmony than in self-awareness.

And that’s the catch, We woke up too early.

So what did Lucifer really bring?

He brought freedom, but not the kind of freedom we usually imagine.

Its not just a wise and grounded freedom. But a raw, intoxicating freedom, 

• the freedom to desire
• to imagine endlessly
• to believe our own thoughts completely
• to put ourselves at the center of everything

It’s the kind of freedom that feels powerful… but can easily turn into illusion.

"when you shine too much light into something unprepared, it doesn’t illuminate it blinds."

Too much light blinds just as much as darkness .

Therefore Lucifer, despite it all is not the same as Satan. Its a deeper difference, one I'll get into next. 

(anyways tried a new art style this time)
