Written by Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven. That was the ancient order of existence when the Renowned Angel of light, created and instituted with the Lord’s existence, called Lucifer, rebelled against his creator.
The order was immediately ordained in heaven, and so it is on Earth—the process of faking order. Which means that the truth becomes a lie while the lie becomes the truth. What an Impeccable attempt, but failed at last.
And letting go becomes a bigger challenge to the master-minder Lucifer himself. Since then, his mission started as a means to enlighten the world on how to fake the order of things.
Helping human beings fake the order of their organic existence because he could not let go so easily. And many factors are the determinants of Lucifer’s inability to let go of disorder.
Pride was one of the prioritizing factors, followed by shame, awareness of the consequences of his sins, and being scared of change.
Pride in the sense that he dreamt himself of God and made a drastic move to proclaim it in his mind, saying:
“I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.” –Isaiah 14:12-14
And this declaration—”I will ascend… I will exalt… I will sit… I will be like the Most High”—is the poetic and prophetic expression of Lucifer’s ambition, arrogance, and desire to usurp divine authority. It encapsulates the theological idea of pride leading to downfall.
With this, his organic nature of existence was encapsulated to the extent that his pride exuded directly from his arrogance; now, his downfall became the expression of his pride.
After falling, as a supernatural being who knew his natural and organic power as given to him completely in the heavenly realm, and the position it placed him in.
He thought maybe losing it could not have been the means; rather, it is to make it as well to manifest in his disorder of things, for that has been his mission as conceived in his heart.
Now, Lucifer decided to capitalise on the opposite to escape the organic route of procedural. Then, the pride now had an anchor, and here he goes; why not ride on it so far that it still fuels my strength and makes me feel like I’m about to reach my goals?
With that particular question, he feels he is capable of masterminding with the master. That its belittling to go back to whom he’s already conceived as being equal with.
Instead of doing so, why not anchor on my mission, which feeds my ego, not minding the outcome of my actions.
That was pride’s encapsulating strength, and its result will never allow you to let go and make room for the natural flow of the Earth.
And what is that result of pride that wouldn’t allow you to make room for the organic flow of things?
The result is FALL. Lucifer could not resist the fact that he had fallen.
Then, let’s have this process examined in a layered way for proper understanding.
The four-layered ways that explain the result of Lucifer’s action — FALL:
- The Nature of Pride That Resists One to Flow
- Disconnection from Your Organic Flow
- Pride as a Defense Mechanism
- Spiritual and Philosophical Consequences
1. The Nature of Pride That Resists One to Flow:
Examining the issue of Lucifer, you tend to understand that the process wasn’t just an ordinary healthy self-regard or confidence. It is an egoic pride that is rooted in:
. Self-exaltation over humility
. Control over surrender
. Assertion over alignment
. Rigidity over receptivity
This kind of pride will make an individual never accept defeat, which means the individual is finding it difficult to BEND. My humble question now becomes: how can you let go in a world full of fake orders, when you are unwilling to bend, and accept the fact that you fall?
- Disconnection from Your Organic Flow:
As you cannot accept the fact that you fall. Now, pride has blocked your organic flow of things. (And this we could describe as the natural rhythm of life, divine order, or inner intuition), The results are:
. Isolation and Internal Fracture
. Resistance to Growth
. Perpetual Inner Conflict
. Isolation and Internal Fracture:-
The pride will eventually isolate you from the higher truth, relationships, and inner peace, just as Lucifer was cast down and became severed from Heaven.
He became isolated but found it difficult to let go and return to his maker, only if there was a chance for that. And then he became out of sync with others and with his authentic self.
Therefore, higher walls instead of bridges were built between the reconciliation that might have existed between him and his maker. Just like it is always said that pride builds walls where bridges are needed.
. Resistance to Growth:-
Imagine the weight of the organic and natural flow of things within your system and embodiment. Imagine this flow of organic things, which includes: the ebb and flow of seasons, suffering, joy, failure, and renewal.
Pride resists all these when you believe that:
“You shouldn’t have to go through this.”
“You can’t force this to work.”
“You are above correction.”
The above statements are the walls that hinder the deep metamorphosis that surrender could have initiated.
. Perpetual Inner Conflict:
Lucifer decided to build the wall that hindered the deep metamorphosis that surrender could have initiated. He refused to submit to the divine flow; rather, he competed with it by making such a prideful statement, saying: “I will ascend… I will be like the Most High,” And in that competition, he fell.
This is because a proud soul will always live in a constant tug-of-war with reality. And there’ll be no rest. There will always be a need to dominate, fix, or prove. Instead of moving with the river, they try to dam or divert it.
Tell me, can one swim against the tide? To swim to safety, one must always swim with the flow of the tide.
3. Pride as a Defense Mechanism:
To swim against the tide is to resist the organic flow of things, which in an actual sense is a survival strategy. And this survival strategy mechanism emanates when we forget to realize that pride isn’t just a character flaw, but it’s a symptom of an inner wounding.
And when we refused to heal the wound and let go, it became ultimately self-destructive.
I want you to remember this: In modern psychology, excessive pride often masks:
. Shame,
. Fear of insignificance, and
. A refusal to be vulnerable
- Spiritual and Philosophical Consequences:
In this aspect, I want to bring our minds back to some religious beliefs. Though this book is not religious. Let’s use them as insights, because it’s coming out of human belief, the ability of humans to try and connect to a divine being.
”In Taoism, going against the Tao (the Way) brings imbalance and suffering.
In Christianity, Pride is the “first sin” and the root of rebellion.
In Stoicism, the wise yield to nature and reason; the proud are blind to both.”
In this scenario, we can notice that each tradition points to the same truth.
So, pride that resists the organic flow of things cuts the soul off from its source.
Shame, awareness of the consequences of his sins, and being scared of change are the remaining factors that determine Lucifer’s inability to let go of disorder.
And pride encompasses all. Because when you are proud, it comes out of shame of trying to hide a certain fallout.
Knowing the fact that the consequences of your particular misdeed await you breeds some level of arrogance to cover up your pitfalls or loopholes.
With all these consequences and the so-called benefits you may think you’re getting from your current embodiments, here comes the fear of change.
You see, the cure to all these is surrender, not collapse. You have to know that surrender isn’t weakness; it is a higher form of strength.
Surrender doesn’t mean you are becoming passive, but rather:
. You’re aligning with reality,
. You’re listening instead of dictating,
. You’re becoming a vessel, not just a voice.
So, in this context, Lucifer’s pride represents the cosmic metaphor of what happens when the created refuses to remain in a dynamic relationship with the Creator.
Aligning it with our human concept, it shows how the refusal to trust life’s unfolding leads not to empowerment, but to estrangement, bitterness, and fall.
Then, what is the actual way to let go in a world filled with fake orders?
All I have to say is that the result of PRIDE is FALL. And when you fall, you have to learn how to allow yourself to BEND.
This is an eye opener. Thanks a lot dear and remain blessed.
