[777 The Great Work]

Satan or Saturn,Lucifer is the restrictive force in nature. This is a necessary force,because it is the glue, or force that holds every thing together.

Another way to say this is,Satan is the wax restricting force of the candle. We are the wick and the flame is spirit. The continuous focus on the restricting force(THE WICK-ED) of the candle ,creates a sense of lost,but when we redirect our focus to the flame,the wax burns faster,and lite the wick at both ends.This means the wax is the time base clock and the flame is eternal consciousness, that burns away the gross nature.

Once all the gross nature is removed, aka the animal fat,nothing remains but the flame.The flame in turn recognizes that the wax was a necessary force for its development, and lovingly embraces the wax. The wax is still there because nothing in life is wasted, only transmuted. Our true growth comes from adaptation compassion and allowance, by vibrating on the higher planes.

This higher vibration will transform every thing beneath it,ascending higher and higher . Even though it is higher,it has now become a humble servant. When we consciously choose to serve from our focus on the wax , It causes the waxing and waning of our emotions, and we choose sides.
