Awareness of angelic evil

Description:

This mode of awareness is focused on the destructive elements in the psyche. The Luciferian angeology projects a drama of fallen human nature in which misapplication and misdirection of libidinous energy is in the forefront. Hidden in the symbolism is perhaps a more important theme, one of dislocation, the suggestion being that some human faculty or organ is not in its proper place (as Plato wrote in the Timaeus). Conventional human psychology has required that human happiness depends on the projected "fallen angel of evil" being bound in a smoky, obscure abyss of repression. However, in this mode the binding energy itself is lost for constructive purposes. Therefore all legendary descents into Hades have had a liberating goal and it may be seen that the object was a release of energy from those regions. The risen Lazarus, still with his bindings, is an emblem of this type.

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.
