More Light More Power? Official history says that Shoreditch, Hackney was the second borough in the country to have electric street lights, the first being Brixton. As discussed elsewhere on the blog where did the evil looking double bodied lion come from but not even the guide (Shoreditch Town Hall) that showed us around the building who represents the trust which maintains and manages the site knows where its from or why its used 'something to do with a coat of arms' she said.
It appears the closer we get to knowledge the further it seems away. Take the word 'light' for example throughout my life I've heard this word used in a very positive context. I guess it first came to me as a child when hearing of near death experiences and talk of searching for the 'light', walking into the 'light', 'light' at end of tunnel. I was conditioned to look and run for the 'light' if ever i found myself knocking on heavens door and I'm sure YOU were too. When the new age movement happened and apparently hijacked, the main theme was and still is 'light' based.
Then you discover that the force deemed as satan, devil or Lucifer is also a representation of 'light'. Lucifer definition is 'light-bearer' (lucem ferre) which left me bemused as Im sure many that didn't know that are at this moment. I then learn many hundreds of different terms we use daily are actually in reference to Lucifer the light-bearer.
Examples:
When rising through the ranks of corporations, sports or the arts individuals are often referred to as Rising Stars…
Smart people are often refereed to as Bright…
Light hearted fun…
They shone too brightly...
There are many examples of this you can find or remember yourself. So the question must be asked. What did the men of power actually mean when they created the slogan and connected it to a one headed doubled bodied lion that appears to have blood on its tongue and mounted on a red shield (?)…
If you can shed 'light' on this matter then do tell...
'Lucifer is a Latin word (from the words lucem ferre), literally meaning "light-bearer", which in that language is used as a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus, heralding daylight. Use of the word in this sense is uncommon in English, in which "Day Star" or "Morning Star" are more common expressions…Wiki'
'Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Septuagint Greek heosphoros, ("dawn-bearer"); (cf. Greek phosphoros, "light-bearer") and the Hebrew Helel, ("Bright one") used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity…Masonic Traveler'
LIGHT often means electricity. The unnaturally acquired energy source. So in truth it should not be called Power. More light means more interference with all things natural: humans, animals, plants, and less chance of viewing the starry skies etc.
