Let me start by diving straight into the title, because this is where most people get tripped up and if you are at all like I was prior to my mediumship journey, you might run from the building flailing and screaming! Please stay put though. I think and I hope that this article will truly empower you to see how safe you truly are, especially once you understand what these beings, not one, but TWO types of beings actually are.
We’re taught—indoctrinated, really—that Satan and Lucifer are the same being. One big, bad, horned villain. But the truth? They’re not the same at all. They are two entirely different types of beings, and neither of them gives a single damn about the human experience. What they do care about is pulling us off our path, distracting us, inflating us, or testing us until we forget who we are.
I’ve been writing this teaching in pieces—here and there, in between sessions, errands, and life—but today something clicked. I was making brunch for Kurtis and me, flipping the TV away from a documentary about chemicals and plastics choking the planet, when I had a full‑body AHA moment. The connection between environmental overwhelm and Luciferic influence hit me like a bell. These beings thrive in excess—excess light, excess escape, excess “above-it-all” energy. And suddenly, the overrun planet made sense in a new way.
As you read this, I invite you to gently ask yourself: Where might these forces have influenced me? Where might they have influenced humanity? And before your mind runs off into fear, let me reassure you—you’re okay. They didn’t devour you, they didn’t hijack your soul, and they don’t have that kind of power. What they did do was slip in during a moment of uncertainty, as they often do. And here’s the empowering part: you have the ability to recognize it and shut it down through your discernment. Your awareness is your sovereignty. Your clarity is your protection.
Now, back to where this all began.
In 2019, I was following a woman named Melanie Beckler—you might know of her as Ask‑Angels. I didn’t just stumble onto her videos; my guides placed me there. Right place, right time, right teacher. I needed to learn about dark beings, shadow forces, and the metaphysical mechanics behind them—not because I wanted to be scared, but because I was scared. And you know my rule: If it scares you, lean in. Fear is a doorway, not a stop sign.
So, I dove in headfirst. I even considered taking a demonology course. If you’ve been with me long enough, you know I need to understand things deeply. I want the full picture. And yes, I also like to call bullshit when something doesn’t add up—so having actual knowledge helps.
Fast‑forward to now, and this topic is circling back again. Loudly. Persistently. So here we are.
I talked about these beings recently with my VIPs, then sat down to write an article for Patreon. Patreon auto‑saves drafts, and I had 28 of them sitting there—28 little squirrel‑trail ideas I’d started and wandered away from. But the draft on HaSataan and Luciferic beings? Gone. Completely missing. Suspicious. Debauchery! So here I am, rewriting it and triple‑checking that it saves this time.
Most people only know the indoctrinated version—the idea that Lucifer and Satan are interchangeable. But once you step outside dogma and into metaphysical study, you discover something entirely different.
These are two distinct archetypal forces, each with their own origins, functions, and spiritual purpose. One tests. One seduces. One exposes shadow. One inflates light. And neither of them are what mainstream religion made them out to be.
This teaching explores the deeper metaphysical roles of Ahrimanic/HaSataan beings and Luciferic beings—and why understanding the difference matters for anyone walking a spiritual path.
Two Faces of Spiritual Resistance
In esoteric traditions, spiritual growth isn’t shaped only by angels, guides, and benevolent helpers. It’s also shaped by counterforces—energies that challenge, obstruct, distort, or pressure the soul into evolution.
These forces aren’t “evil” in the cartoon sense. They are archetypal. Functional. Necessary. They are part of the curriculum of Earth School.
Among these counterforces, two stand out:
-
Ahrimanic/HaSataan beings — divine adversaries, examiners, karmic gatekeepers
-
Luciferic beings — seducers of premature light, inflators of ego, bypassers of incarnation
They are not the same. They do not serve the same purpose. And they do not impact the human soul in the same way.
Ahrimanic/HaSataan (Haw‑Say‑Tawn) Beings: Divine Adversaries & Karmic Gatekeepers
Origin The word HaSataan (Hebrew: הַשָּׂטָן) means “the adversary,” “the challenger,” or “the accuser.” In Jewish mysticism, HaSataan is not a fallen angel, not a rebel, not a cosmic villain. HaSataan is a divine agent—a being whose job is to test humanity. And honestly? He’s done a damn good job. UGGGG.
Function HaSataan beings don’t tempt. They expose. They present obstacles, challenges, and karmic tests that reveal the truth of your character. They show you where your integrity is strong—and where it’s leaking.
Symbolism They are karmic mirrors, reflecting your shadow back to you so you can’t pretend it isn’t there.
Elemental Overlay Earth — grounding, boundaries, trials, endurance.
Archetypal Role The Examiner at the Threshold. The one who asks: “Are you ready to pass through?”
Luciferic Beings: Seducers of Premature Light
If Ahrimanic/HaSataan beings test your shadow, Luciferic beings test your light.
Origin In Rudolf Steiner’s teachings, Luciferic beings deviated from their evolutionary path during the Old Sun stage. They are not “dark”—they are too light, too ungrounded, too transcendent. My understanding is that they do not honor incarnating as humans. They are incredibly unbalanced in their presentation.
Function They offer false illumination:
-
spiritual insight without grounding
-
gifts without responsibility
-
ecstasy without integration
Their influence can lead to:
-
spiritual pride
-
escapism
-
bypassing
-
“I’m above all this human stuff” syndrome
Symbolism They represent inflated light—the temptation to transcend before you’ve done the work.
Elemental Overlay Air + Fire — vision, brilliance, inspiration, volatility.
Archetypal Role The Charismatic Guide who whispers: “You’re already divine—skip the struggle.”
Additional Influence Luciferic beings are highly evolved, but not aligned with human evolution. They pull humans off their path by:
-
overinflating the ego
-
devaluing Earth lessons
-
glamorizing shortcuts
This is why certain hallucinogenic substances—especially those used to bypass emotional or karmic work—often fall under their influence. They open spiritual doors before the psyche is ready, creating premature illumination rather than grounded growth.
My Personal Lesson: Why Light Matters
When I began my mediumship journey, I didn’t realize how protected I was. My guides placed me in front of teachers who drilled one thing into me:
“All that comes near me comes through light.”
Later, I was guided to add:
“All that comes near me comes with the greatest respect and love for humanity.”
This is key.
Ahrimanic/HaSataan beings and Luciferic beings do not respect the human journey. They do not honor Earth School. They do not value the slow, sacred process of becoming.
They want to test you or distract you—but they do not want to evolve with you.
Calling in light, clarity, and respect is not just a ritual. It is a boundary. A filter. A declaration of sovereignty.
A LOOK AT THE THREE PATHS and CHRISTIC BEINGS- A THIRD PATH
Because we’ve talked about the upper and lower paths, let me introduce the middle one too.
There are three paths:
-
Upper Path — Luciferic beings
-
Lower Path — Ahrimanic/HaSataan beings
-
Middle Path — Christic beings
If the Luciferic beings pull us upward into too much light, and the HaSataan beings pull us downward into too much density, then the Middle Path is the place where true spiritual evolution happens. This is the path held by the Christic beings—the Archangels, Ascended Masters, and luminous guides who have mastered the full spectrum of human experience and now walk with us as teachers, protectors, and way‑showers.
Christic beings are not here to test you or tempt you. They are here to support your becoming. They honor the human journey. They respect Earth School. They understand the sacredness of incarnation, the necessity of shadow work, and the beauty of embodied light.
Where Luciferic beings say, “Rise above it,” and HaSataan beings say, “Prove yourself,” Christic beings say, “Be here. Grow here. Love here.”
They are the embodiment of the Middle Path—where light and shadow integrate, where ego and soul align, where humanity and divinity meet.
What Defines a Christic Being?
A Christic being is defined by a profound mastery of love—an unconditional, steady compassion that sees your highest potential and lovingly holds you to it. They honor human evolution, never bypassing your lessons or rushing your growth, but walking beside you with patience and respect. Rooted in embodied wisdom, they understand the sacred value of incarnation and guide you through Earth School with clarity. Where Luciferic forces inflate and HaSataan forces constrict, Christic beings bring harmony, returning you to center, breath, and truth. They uphold your sovereignty, never overriding your free will but empowering you to choose with consciousness and integrity. Their elemental signature is Water and Light—compassion, clarity, healing, forgiveness, illumination—and their archetypal role is the Guide of the Heart, the presence that whispers, “Walk with love. Walk with courage. Walk as your truest self.”
Why the Middle Path Matters
The Middle Path is where we become whole. It’s where we learn to hold our light without floating away, and face our shadow without collapsing under it. It’s where we learn discernment, sovereignty, compassion, and embodied spirituality.
Christic beings don’t pull you off your path—they help you walk it with grace. They don’t demand perfection—they nurture evolution. They don’t test your worth—they remind you of it.
This is the path of integration, balance, and true spiritual maturity.
Thank you for tuning in! I hope this article finds you well and I hope it has enlightened you to understand your own power and find that your discernment is an incredible strength to assist you on your journey.
