I even explained why I put Lucifer in the title of the meditation thread, but I'm starting to think no one actually read the entirety of the post. Realizing this, I should probably change the title.
I have studied the Lucifer archetype in depth and realize that this name has been associated with hundreds if not thousands of different concepts and faces. The meditation involves sending love to only one of these particular associations. If you don't want to include this particular group of individuals under the Lucifer umbrella because your perception of Lucifer is something entirely different, then by all means substitute whatever name you feel is appropriate, or use no name at all.
I also have absolutely no desire to debate which interpretation of Lucifer is "the right one." To me that's like asking which skin color is "the right one."
Wasn't a matter of debate.
The question I had was how does a 'group' mange the intent process of connection, when various members have various ideas of what or who is being considered as Lucifer?
My understandings have been made known. As have yours and others.
And as you noted there are many misconceptions as well as interpretations.
My question was how do you gather in an attempt to send love toward a focus of intent, when that focus might mean so many different things within the group?
Or is it agreed upon by the group from the start exactly what concepts and interpretations fall into a guideline of the majority of thought?
I just find it very curious that a group can gather, agree that they want to send positive thoughts to Lucifer, without considering the many variations you clearly denoted.
It is one of those circumstances where meanings and nomenclature play a key role in the focusing of intent.
But maybe you don't agree with that thinking.
