Left For Heavenly Abode Quotes

Say to my friends, when they look upon me, dead, Weeping for me and mourning me in sorrow, ‘Do not believe that this corpse you see is myself, In the name of God, I tell you, it is not I, I am a spirit, and this is naught but flesh, It was my abode and my garment for a time. I am a treasure, by a talisman kept hid, Fashioned of dust, which served me as a shrine, I am a pearl, which has left it’s shell deserted, I am a bird, and this body was my cage, Whence I have now flown forth and it is left as a token, Praise to God, who hath now set me free, And prepared for me my place in the highest of the Heavens, Until today I was dead, though alive in your midst. Now I live in truth, with the grave – clothes discarded. Today I hold converse with the Saints above, With no veil between, I see God face to face. I look upon “Loh-i-Mahfuz” and there in I read, Whatever was and is, and all that is to be. Let my house fall in ruins, lay my cage in the ground, Cast away the talisman, it is a token no more, Lay aside my cloak, it was but my outer garment. Place them all in the grave, let them be forgotten, I have passed on my way and you are left behind, Your place of abode was no dwelling place for me. Think not that death is death, nay, it is life, A life that surpasses all we could dream of here, While in this world, here we are granted sleep, Death is but sleep, sleep that shall be prolonged Be not frightened when death draweth nigh, It is but the departure for this blessed home, Think of the mercy and love of your Lord, Give thanks for His Grace and come without fear. What I am now, even so shall you be, For I know that you are even as I am, The souls of all men come forth from God, The bodies of all are compounded alike, Good and evil, alike it was ours. I give you now a message of good cheer May God’s peace and joy forever more be yours.

This world’s good fortune is indeed pleasant, But do not give it your heart—it kills all its lovers. Whomever it caresses like a king, it will cast down like a pawn. This world with its good fortune is like a mirage—It entices you on, then gives you no water. Many a king and a minister the heavens have made, Given them kingship and treasure, a crown and a throne; Then arranged all things at their pleasure, And humbled all mankind before them. Thus they became as rich as Nemrod, And each was the pharaoh of his own age. They sucked the blood of the poor, And drew out the brains of the wretched. All were busy with months and with years, All deceived by their pomp and their wealth. Suddenly the hurricane of wrath began blowing, And pulled them from the throne onto the bier.It delivered their bodies to festering clay, And their kingdom into the hands of the enemy. Their burden of guilt they bore off to the hereafter, While their wealth remained here, for others to feast on. But he whom God caressed with His favor, Who discerned good and evil in God-given light, He knew the difference between the light and the fire, And gave not his heart to this abode of deceit. He perceived what in this life has lasting effect And hastened to righteousness for the sake of the next. His concern was this: How from this stage Might he move forward in joy and contentment? All that he had—kingship, treasure, and throne—With him he took and left not an atom behind. When it was time to depart, then he departed, Aided by a hundred thousand supports.

Luciferians do not believe in a heaven or hell; these are mere symbols. Luciferians do not recognize the concept of “heaven” as a Judeo-Christian kingdom in the sky for the so-called “good”; nor do we believe in devils in the pits of hell awaiting us. Heaven is a symbolic reference to the vast sky and is associated with the sun. The heavens represent our higher articulation of consciousness, our ability to control and direct our impulses and apply the knowledge we have attained. Hell is the abode of “rest” and of contemplation of our deep desires; the Underworld is a symbol of our unconscious mind where our primal instincts lay.

Luciferians as a rule, do not believe in the existence of “governing” supernatural spirits such as literal gods, demons or otherwise. We do recognize the need for personal myth and inspirational symbolism which may ignite our imagination. There are Luciferians who practice ceremonial magick, who, upon entering the ritual chamber, visualize and invest belief in their personal mythology if it fulfills the focus of their desire in a spiritual or carnal way. Such fantasy and myth may focus their imagination (based on what these symbols represent) to set into motion the guidance of energy towards the goals they may have.
