I could blame it on my Shadow. That’s like blaming the devil, or any other scapegoat. They are ME. I lie to myself about lying. It quickly becomes addictive, lying to yourself.

These are the beginning stages of possession by the Luciferian complex. Lucifer came to believe, in all his beauty, that he was equal to God. Next step, he came to believe he WAS God. The complex brings these characteristics to the fore in an individual.

We all know of the best example we have in our society of one possessed by Luciferian self love, who has become an obsessive, compulsive, pathalogical liar. He is at the point of believing if he says it, it is true, and he will not be confused with “facts”. That is Lucefer.

The Gospel of John quotes Jesus regarding Satan as, “The father of lies. There is no truth in him”. This is full blown addiction, and it comes about throught the door of self-romance. We may think, “Romantic love with yourself? How sick”. Yes, sick, but not uncommon.
