For those who have read LOO and Hidden Hand

[Spaced]

It's weird I've been thinking about the true nature of Lucifer, the illuminati, etc. for a few weeks now but every time I tried to start a thread I would get all mixed up and have a hard time saying what I wanted to and give up, so I'm glad other members of the forum have stepped up

What led you to want to understand Lucifer/s true nature?

Seeing a connection between multiple mythological entities who share the same attributes as Lucifer: Thoth, Hermes, Apollo, Mithra, etc. and wondering what they have been trying to accomplish. It's interesting to look back and see the Mithraic cult of the late Roman empire slowly morph into the Knights Templar during the crusades and then the Freemasons. What have these secret societies been up to? It's a clear line going back thousands of years, what do they do exactly? Why all the secrecy? I find this topic very interesting.
