The Black Flame: Gnosis, Power, and Balance of Self

The Black Flame, also known as the Blue Flame, is the deepest core manifestation of dark and light energy coexisting in perfect balance and force. Neither cancels the other but rather enhances and supports the overall power and life force of the Theistic Satanist or Luciferian. This force exists within everyone. But its manifestation and awareness and power are a validation that comes from within and without. It means more than Enlightenment. It is the perfect alchemic mixture that supports the expression of life in the physical and ethereal realm. It is a fire that burns and leaves behind a trail of ashes of illusions while providing the Mage with the confidence to carry on the dark path carrying an inner light to guide oneself and others.

The Black Flame may seem like a culmination of many steps and alignments. It is only the beginning. It is an invitation to commune at a deeper level with all the elements that surround us, both external and internal. It is a power that once lit, burns, self-consumes, and perfects the Mage in all aspects of growth. Consciousness, intellect, creativity, love, passion, chaos, balance, and unity all expand and contract to provide the flame its fuel. It is having enough self-awareness and intelligence to maintain this perfect balance and draw power from this everlasting life force.

How do I describe such a beautiful and real part of oneself? The Black Flame has three layers. The innermost core is complete darkness. This is where gnosis and all creation come from. All clarity, purpose, and drive come from this innermost core. It is the inner cradle of creation itself. It is the Void within. It is stillness itself. Entering the core is exiting time-space. It is like looking out to the entire Universe only to realize the entire Universe is looking back at you! This is a precious and self-affirming experience.

The second more visible layer is blue. It wraps itself around the core as tongues of flames that provide a constant vortex, vibrational energy, and protection. Here passions rule to express the carnal and the sublime ecstasy of perfect union. This Union is where Father Satan/ Lucifer find the Mage. All barriers are down and broken. Nothing to hide but the raw power and Union that transcends All. Truth, power, love, and unity amalgam to express this perfect and balanced Union of energy. Nothing can harm the Mage here. Peace, joy, and pure ecstasy rule this second layer of gnosis. This Infernal Fire burns away all the lies and only truth is revealed.

The third and outermost layer is thin but strong. It ties the physical mind to this ethereal experience. It is the chord that brings forth the gnosis into real manifestation. It downloads not just data, but the physical drive to see it come to reality. The chord is golden and white. It may seem delicate and fragile but it can easily follow the consciousness to places beyond this physical realm.

The Black Flame is real and attainable within us all. For the Theistic Satanist, it is an embedded gift at the moment of human creation that lies dormant waiting to be lit when all the elements are aligned to create the balance necessary to connect with our life force. The Black Flame means taking personal responsibility for our growth and journey. But we are not alone. Know that Father Satan/Lucifer’s comforting darkness follows us and protect us while lighting a path for our evolution.

With the utmost humility, I thank Father Satan/Lucifer for this experience to share up close this magnificent and real part of our human experience.
