THE CHURCH OF ADVERSARIAL LIGHT
Luciferian Religious Church
The Church of Adversarial Light is a Luciferian Temple and Spiritual center which exhalts and expands the Adversarial Current of Luciferianism. The Church of Adversarial Light does not worship Satan or Lucifer however it recognizes the spirit of the Adversary as the motivational psychological and spiritual force in nature. The Church views each individual as a Temple and affirms that the relationship between the aspirant and the Gods are both sacred and personal. The Luciferian Spirit or Angel is viewed in the Church as the higher intellect which governs the decision making ability in each human. Lucifer is thus the Light or intellect of the self. The Adversary is not viewed specifically as a male figure; the Daimon or Spirit Guide of the Adversary relates also to LILITH as the fire and hunger of instinct, SAMAEL is the spirit of rebellion and LEVIATHAN is the coiling Dragon or crooked serpent which is the dreaming mind. The Luciferian recognizes the symbolism of each and how they relate to leading a productive life.
The CHURCH OF ADVERSARIAL LIGHT was founded by Michael W. Ford in 2007, who is the founder of THE ORDER OF PHOSPHORUS and BLACK ORDER OF THE DRAGON. The Vision of our High Priest is to establish a religion based on the Spirit of both Light and Darkness, understanding that one must have balance and understand the dark instinct. This allows the Luciferian to utilize a complete knowledge of the self to make informed, strategic decisions which will lead to a more meaningful life.
DOCTRINE: THE CHURCH OF ADVERSARIAL LIGHT is based on the foundations presented in THE BIBLE OF THE ADVERSARY. The Luciferian can either approach a dogmatic or non-dogmatic approach to the religious aspects of the Luciferian Path.
Some basic considerations of THE CHURCH OF ADVERSARIAL LIGHT:
1. The Adversary is Lucifer and his bride, Lilith. Each represents the power of self-love and the transformation of consciousness into divine consciousness.
2. The Luciferian does not worship Satan or any other deity. The Luciferian continually seeks to challenge and transform the self into the perceived archetypal spirit of the Adversary.
3. The Church of Adversarial Light recognizes the associative theistic traits of the Adversary – in all forms – throughout History as a motivator of self-excellence. Chaos and stressful situations cause the spirit to rise – transform or to fall – a common aspect of Nietzsche inspired Self Will. Without challenge and adversity – there is no transformation.
4. The Church of Adversarial Light recognizes that each individual must seek the Adversary in their own way, with accountability for the actions of the individual in their own laws. Illegal activity is obviously not accepted or allowed within THE CHURCH OF ADVERSARIAL LIGHT.
The Luciferian of THE CHURCH OF ADVERSARIAL LIGHT may utilize ritual to seek their unique experience with the energy and spirit of the Luciferian Gnosis. Magick is thus a tool of achieving this end, while the level of application is up to the practitioner.
THE CHURCH OF ADVERSARIAL LIGHT accepts members or any walk or life, race and social status, although one common theme and affirmation is needed: the Luciferian must seek to build the self and become through this religious path, rejecting all other religions. The Luciferian Religion must serve the needs of the self; offer a realistic pathway to self-mastery.
To be Luciferian you must be willing to question, to explore, to study the foundations of religious lore and create your own Temple within. This is the religion of self-accountability, self-love, those who recognize the Luciferian spirit within and who are not afraid to seek the forbidden. It is deeply spiritual as it is material, enjoy this life now in both a carnal and spiritual aspect. Grow in the light of Lucifer.
