Everything about Satan: Theosophy’s Systematic Refutation of Popular and Christian Hysteria against Occult Philosophy

Behind popular culture’s misguided and manipulated hysteria, the topics, doctrines and nature of teachings fundamental to Theosophy or Occult Philosophy have been defined and judged according to its adherence or non-alignment to Christian theology and beliefs. Theosophy and Occultism have stood falsely accused of representing, teaching and even practicing Satanism, Devil-Worship, or Luciferianism. Wisdom in this world is inverted and defined by its lower aspects, and popular things will always pertain to the exoteric, because the masses fixate on the illusion of appearances and the apparent; and this is reflected in the masses often superficial understanding of religion. Terms like ‘Occultism’ are associated with Evil, Hell and Demons. The very origins and truth of Occult Philosophy are distorted to fit the Christian mythos of the world and its “origins of sin.” Poor charges born from ignorance and Christian belief conflate profound esoteric symbolism with crude literalism and traceable mythological-literary creations. Far from venerating a malevolent entity, visionary pioneers like Anna Kingsford and Helena Blavatsky reveal Satan as a tragic, multifaceted archetype: the “Shadow of Light” embodying cosmic polarity, the generative Logos of matter and spirit’s eternal dance, and the double-headed Dragon symbolizing the unity of good and evil in human evolution and Nature’s equilibrium.

This series of mines begins with Jewish philosophical theology then Christian Hermeticist and Theosophical perspectives on the true and ancient meaning of Satan, as opposed to its Christian reconstruction. The three articles delve into Kingsford’s visionary teachings on Satan’s redemptive role as the Great Illusion and what this means metaphysically, before culminating in the poignant tragedy of the adversarial dragon.

I invite you to move beyond conventional theological dualism’s pitfalls and embrace a monistic wisdom that liberates humanity from fear and ignorance, fostering self-mastery over base passions and a philosophical depth in our understanding of the nature of the world from a reinvigorated positioning. This series explains the oft misquoted line, ‘It is “Satan who is the god of our planet and the only god”,’ attributed to H.P. Blavatsky, but never explained by those misusing it, in the attempt to slander and mislead people from actually understanding THEOSOPHY — positions, which we argue are still the most powerful legitimate threat to Christian positioning against ancient philosophical traditions it claims victory over, or still demonize. This inability on a “popular” mass level to move past what are certainly infantile understandings of Religion has been a deeply problematic obstruction in a very long mission in the gradual promulgation of truths about nature and its laws ever pertinent to the advancement of humanity, key to the defeat of the phantoms of Religion.

THREE PARTS

  1. ANNA KINGSFORD AND HELENA BLAVATSKY ON THE TRUE ANCIENT MEANING OF SATAN
  2. LIFE’S GREATEST MYSTERY: ANNA KINGSFORD’S VISION TEACHINGS ON SATAN
  3. TRAGEDY OF SATAN THE DOUBLE-HEADED DRAGON: ANCIENT MYTH OF THE TWIN BROTHERS

The articles provide very simple but detailed metaphysical explanation and refutation of the Christian mythological figure, Lucifer and the components from which his story was invented.
