The fall of Lucifer and the transformation of his soul in matter “[04] And yet there were at the end of yonder endlessly long developmental periods of the primeval spirits those who, although comprehending God’s correct educational paths, chose in the end to not want to know anything of these ways, but instead chose the much shorter one on account of temporary advantages, deviating from the path well-mapped-out by God, entering upon the path of their very own self-destruction. [05] Because the principal spirit of light, indwelt by countless other spirits of light, each one imbued most richly with countless intelligences, said to himself: „What more do I need? Within me lie all attributes as within God, and God has placed all power within me. Now I am strong and mighty over everything. He has given away everything He possessed, and I have taken over the lot. Now God has nothing left, whilst I have everything; and we are going to see whether the advantages of transgressing the given commandment are of all that short a duration after all. We should think: with our present all might and omnipotence, we shall be able to quite handsomely prolong the supposed brevity of that span to eternities. Who shall be able to prevent us from doing so? Besides ourselves, infinite space, now populated by only ourselves, carries no higher might and intelligence than our own; who should be able to contest our advantages?‟ [06] Behold, thus thought and spoke the spirit of light to himself and thereby to the host of subordinate individual spirit crowds. - No sooner said than done, and the result was his self-arrest within his inertia, within which he had gradually solidified himself; and the outcome of that again was the creation of matter, likewise along the lines of divine order, because the predictable consequence of potential non-heeding of God’s commandment was foreseen with the same certainty as the freest state of yonder spirits who fulfilled God’s commandment upon and within themselves. [07] And in this way through the fall, firstly the principal spirit and with him his related deputies made themselves captive in the most stubborn and grueling manner. But for how long it shall please him to tarry within such captivity none but God knows, throughout all of infinity, and not even the angels. [08] However, this is certain, that from this lost son of light the individual spirits are awaken again by the power of God and are placed into the flesh as children of the world, and the opportunity will be given to them, just like the children from above, to rise to the highest perfection as children of God. [09] All matter therefore is individual spirit, who as soul in each individual person, can be reborn in the soul’s spirit to attain eternal life. However, once all individual spirits are lifted from a world, then the full end of such a world has become a reality. [10] But with a world like this earth, this takes a pretty long time to accomplish; nonetheless, finally the end will come.” (THE GREAT GOSPEL OF JOHN vol. 2, chap. 231) Revelations about Lucifer from Lord's last appeal to him during His earthly life as the Son of Man "[7] I said to him: “Bearer of light, You were not able to see the deity, but could only feel Him, and when you went out from the middle of My love to create love and light in all the spaces of eternity, you believed that you were not the carrier but the possessor of that power. You changed your love into pride and said: ‘A God that cannot be seen is no God. The created beings that exist by my will honor me as the only visible being, as God. Therefore I want to be and stay God for them.’ [8] Then My voice called within you, and said: ‘The fullness of My Spirit works with you and in you, and all the qualities that are in Me form a ladder, upward and downward into infinity. I want to give you a part of My power, so that each one will rule from his most inner limits which forms a point that lies deep inside, flowing out of infinity from two sides. So while you came forth as a finite being from Me, you still can be infinitely active with Me as antipode that stands justified before Me.’ [9] But you did not heed the warning, for your power created numberless beings out of yourself, and they followed you and became mighty because I did not want to destroy the newly created beings that were a part of you. That multitude became bigger and bigger and they made you their god. Then you sinned again and said: ‘I am God, for nowhere do I see the power that creates something’. Fool, as if the finite could ever see and understand the infinite. [10] Then I shackled you, and see, that same Power stands here personally before you and says to you: “I am the God that was not visible up to now. Do you recognize Me now? Return to your Father’s house, so that you will be freed from your shackles and occupy the place that belongs to you. See here those of them that kneel down before Me, who are set free from you, made innerly alive by My breath and who are dedicated to Me forever. Give up your pride. Let the warmth of My love blow in you, then all matter will disintegrate into nothing.” (THE GREAT GOSPEL OF JOHN Book 25, chap. 41)
