Prometheus and the fire from heaven, the source of human consciousness

Fire from heaven must always be stolen. In mythology, it is Prometheus who steals it and gives it to man. He is therefore the source of Light.

This is the first principle of the original light that Lucifer will wear later.

We therefore understand that it is a question of what differs man from animals and which makes him the equal of the gods. Either the fact of existing as its own source of Light.

The Source, Prometheus, underlies self-thinking and self-awareness. This is why he is credited with the creation of humans differentiated from animals (and gods).

We can obviously see the different characters as so many forces present within an individual.

It is probably this human potential that Krishnamurti desperately sought to ignite by saying "be your own light", "no outside authority".

When we listen to him carefully, by saying that "the truth is a country without a path" or better, by saying that it cannot bring an individual to Awakening, he expresses very well the fact that this fire must be stolen or stolen, that it cannot simply be given to an individual. It cannot be carried by an image, come from outside, it must be a direct experience of reality...

In the times of ancient Rome and ancient Egypt, there was no question of a democracy of divine knowledge as proposed by Khrisnamurti. On the contrary, the spiritual order was defined through Castres and specific functions according to individuals. The god-kings were responsible for this divine function which was transmitted by initiations. This was also true with the Brahmins in India.

Thus the divine fire had to remain in the hands of those who embodied it in society. It also refers to the different races including the Aryan race which is primarily a spiritual perspective of purity and asceticism.

Finally, to make good cognac, you need good wine and to make good wine, you need good grapes. Differentiating and specializing groups and preserving their "purity" was a way of optimizing society. Thus were useful the Castres and the structure in 4 states (Sovereign, warrior, trader and peasant) which are besides reproducible dimensions in oneself.

This gives a broader meaning to the story of Prometheus facing Zeus and then that of Lucifer alongside God. Likewise, the spiritual dimension diverted in Nazism.

In a way, all practices that manifest through magical acts call upon this fire from heaven. Likewise, by affirming by the verb the fact of being self-divine the individual stimulates his divine spark in his measure.

This is true even when the statement speaks of an archetypal divine. For example, in the case where a person affirms their sacred masculine or their sacred feminine all the more in the form of an archetypal deity.

Obviously, the birth of self brings friction, conflict, and sometimes rebellion. Even with oneself, it's sometimes like an eagle devouring our liver.

For many, the awareness of the other as other is awakening. I agree: self-awareness comes hand in hand with awareness of the other.

In conclusion, the Source — Prometheus — is logically linked to Awakening. In this sense, Awakening is not quite the return to a previous state, but the beginning of the Self. It is about the spiritual morning of the nascent individual to his superhumanity. He will then be able to carry this light like Lucifer since the morning of his life — his childhood. He will learn to tame this fire thereafter (Kénaz) to become a creative and accomplished spiritual individual (Tree of Light) half-man half-god.

We could take the myth and imply, with evidence, that the spark is within the chakras (wheels) of the human, in the wheels of the chariot of the Sun...
