in the evolution of humanity–and the universe. Masonic authority, Manly P. Hall called this
quest for the esoteric a “cosmic obligation,” and that “powers unseen and unrecognized
mold the destiny of those who consciously and of their own free will take upon themselves
the obligations of the Fraternity.” Hall was referring to both the oath within Masonic initiations,
and the deeper occult knowledge that comes with the search of mystical illumination.
Communicating its spiritual significance, Hall wrote,
When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper
application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft.
The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onward and
upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy.
(The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, p. 48)
C.W. Leadbeater, a leading occultist, Theosophist, and Freemason during the early
years of the 20th century, revealed that initiation resulted in a “born again” experience. This
needs to be understood correctly; the “born again” experience Leadbeater talked about
was based on the Luciferic philosophy of Genesis 3–“you will be like God.”
So wonderful is the expansion of the Initiate’s conscious that it is most apt to
speak of the change as a new birth. He begins to lead a new life “as a little child,” the
life of the Christ; and the Christ, the intuitional or buddhic consciousness, is born
within his heart."
Referring to the initiated, Leadbeater explains,
The Candidate has now become more than an individual man, because he is a
unit in a tremendous force. On every planet the Solar Logos [authors note: “Solar
Logos” is referring to the Supreme Deity as revealed within the Sun God] has His
Representative acting as His Viceroy. On our globe the title given to this great Official
is the Lord of the World.
(The Masters and the Path, p. 120)
The Bible reveals who this “great Official” is. Jesus Christ called him the “ruler of this
world” (John 12:31) and the apostle Paul called him the “god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4). This
“Official” is Lucifer, the “light-bearer,” also known as Satan, the “ruler of darkness” (Eph.
6:12), and the “king of death” (Heb.2:14). The New Age movement, with its occult roots,
embraces this Being – whether New Age practitioners realize it or not.
One of today’s most influential New Age authors and lecturers, David Spangler, teaches
on Lucifer and “Christ.” In his book Reflections on the Christ, Spangler explains that “Christ
is the same force as Lucifer but moving in seemingly the opposite direction” and that
“Christ is the perfect balance to Lucifer.” Spangler also tells his followers that, “Lucifer, like
Christ, stands at the door…and knocks.” Sadly, Spangler encourages spiritual seekers to
open the door for Lucifer and invite him in.
Like Hall and Leadbeater, Spangler understands the deeper meanings of occult initiation.
In the Reflections on the Christ, he explains that Lucifer is the “great initiator.” Amazingly,
he calls for a literal Luciferic initiation as a means of propelling mankind into the
evolutionary New Age,
Lucifer comes to give to us the final gift of wholeness. If we accept it then he is
free and we are free. This is the Luciferic initiation. It is one that many people now,
and in the days ahead, will be facing, for it is an initiation in the New Age.
(Reflections on the Christ, p. 45)
In Spangler’s world, humankind would completely embrace Lucifer and allow Lucifer to
indwell in an unprecedented way. Spangler’s vision is for a new global order ruled by the
“Lord of the World.”
Unfortunately, many Christians naively believe that the New Age movement is simply a
passing fad. The New Age movement, which is only a “public” outpouring of the teachings
of ancient occult schools, is a growing reality in today’s multi-religious world. And it is
evolving with the times.
As Christians, we need to know what we believe, why we believe it, and how to effectively
express it. Only Jesus Christ can set men free.
