More From Albert Pike

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
What is more absurd and more impious than to attribute the name of lucifer to the devil, that is, to personified evil. the intellectual lucifer is the spirit of intelligence and love; it is the paraclete, it is the holy spirit, while the physical lucifer is the great agent of universal magnetism.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Unhappy spirits that fell with lucifer, / conspired against our god with lucifer, / and are for ever damned with lucifer.
Unhappy Spirit Unhappiness
It is important that when pursing our own self-interest we should be 'wise selfish' and not 'foolish selfish'. being foolish selfish means pursuing our own interests in a narrow, shortsighted way. being wise selfish means taking a broader view and recognizing that our own long-term individual interest lies in the welfare of everyone. being wise selfish means being compassionate.
Wise Selfish Lying
Lucifer, oh lucifer, god of evil, you're the god of pain, the darkness is where you find your light.

I was never the kind of painter or sculptor who kept a shop.

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. people inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. yet true happiness comes from a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion and elimination of ignorance, selfishness and greed.
