Where does "New Light" come from?
LUCIFER, the LIGHT BEARER
2 Corinthians 11:
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
In the Greek New Testament, the term rendered day star in English is actually phosphoros (in 2Pet. 1:19) in relation to Christ in the KJV but rendered as morning star in the RSV. Both versions avoid the real sense which is light bringer as Phosphoros. Lucifer is the Latin translation of this word.
The Light-bringer and the Morning Star or Day Star are ranks and not names. Therein lies the key to the confusion.
Mankind has become illuminated through the light of Lucifer.
Another connection between secret societies and the WTS seems to be the search for this new light.
LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light…Doubt it not!—Albert Pike, preeminent Masonic authority, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, p. 321
The actual "light" that Masons pledge to seek, and which is found in the highest levels of Masonry, Pike taught, must be received from Lucifer, the "Light-Bearer." He said the search for Light leads back to the Kabbalah, and Crowley affirms this, also asserting that the Kabbalah is the "whole basis" of the OTO. Thus, concludes Mr. Heimbichner, "Freemasonry is a nursery of Luciferianism from which promising candidates are selected [for higher degrees], while others are left forever in the dark, content to exploit their good-old-boy connections and play their charity charade." (pp. 58, 116-17)
