FIAT LUX: An Explanation of “Let There Be Light”

FIAT LUX is Latin for “Let There Be Light.”

This phrase does not represent the light of God, Sun or the Stars, but the light of man who is made of all. Man is just the one who wields the power of FIAT LUX here on earth as the creator and shepherd to his fellow brothers.

The phrase comes from the third verse of the Book of Genesis. In the King James Bible, it reads:

  • 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
  • 1:2 – And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
  • 1:3 – And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
  • 1:4 – And God saw the light, and it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

The Latin phrase fiat lux, from the Latin Vulgate Bible, is typically translated as “let there be light” when relating to Genesis 1:3 (Hebrew: “יְהִי אוֹר”). The full phrase is “dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux” (“And said God let there be light, and there was light”), from the Greek “και είπεν ο Θεός γενηθήτω φως και εγένετο φως” (or kai eipen ho Theos genēthētō phōs kai egeneto phōs), from the Hebrew “וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, יְהִי אוֹר; וַיְהִי אוֹר” (or vayo’mer ‘Elohiym yehiy ‘or vayehiy ‘or).

The key in understanding FIAT LUX is this explanation below:

Since fiat lux would be literally translated as “let light be made” (fiat is from fieri, the passive form of the verb facere, “to make” or “to do”), an alternative Latinization of the original Greek and Hebrew, lux sit (“light – let it exist” or “let light exist”) has been used occasionally, although there is debate as to its accuracy.

The translation above clearly states that fiat is from fieri and where we get the passive form of the verb facere, which is “to make” or “to do.” It is us Brothers and Sisters who define fiat lux by what we create in this world in order “to make” or “to do.” We are the ones who are charged with the God given task of bringing light to this world of darkness by what we create. Nothing more and nothing less. Yes, we are the light bearers who are the morning stars (Lucifers) and our jobs are to make this world a more beautiful place with the illumination of our creations via fiat lux. (more…)

The Gnostic aspires to be freed by Gnosis

“The Gnostics held that the essential nature of the human is divine. They look upon men and women as gods and goddesses who have forgotten who they are. It’s from this predicament that the Gnostic aspires to be freed by Gnosis.”ㅤ~ Manly P. Hall

Alchemy and Its Exponents | Chapter 33

Here is an explanation of alchemy from the Secret Teachings of All Ages by 33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall. Please Alchemy rosicrucianskeep in mind that Manly Hall and most of these authors that speak on these subjects were initiated into secret societies such as the Freemasons or Rosicrucians where they had taken oaths of secrecy.

Alchemy and Its Exponents | Chapter 33 – by Manly P. Hall

Is the transmutation of base metals into gold possible? Is the idea one at which the learned of the modern world can afford to scoff? Alchemy was more than a speculative art: it was also an operative art. Since the time of the immortal Hermes, alchemists have asserted (and not without substantiating evidence) that they could manufacture gold from tin, silver, lead, and mercury.

That the galaxy of brilliant philosophic and scientific minds who, over a period of two thousand years, affirmed the actuality of metallic transmutation and multiplication, could be completely sane and rational on all other problems of philosophy and science, yet hopelessly mistaken on this one point, is untenable. Nor is it reasonable that the hundreds declaring to have seen and performed transmutations of metals could all have been dupes, imbeciles, or liars. (more…)
