In his vision to the Spanish nun Mary of Agreda Lucifer has explained the reward he gives his followers, which is "so much the greater torments the more faithfully they have followed me." The victims of Lucifer are to be the poor, the oppressed and the meek--the same as those picked by Jesus.

However, Lucifer is objectively non-existent whereas Jesus is existent. Nevertheless, Lucifer's reward of torments is real in respect of man's consciousness because of the objective existence of the poor, the oppressed and the meek. But Jesus' reward of kingdom of heaven is not similarly existent; therefore, it is unreal.

On the left we have, as objectively real, Jesus, the identical sets of the poor, the oppressed, and the meek and lastly Lucifer's kingdom of torments. On the right we have Lucifer and Jesus' kingdom of heaven as objectively unreal. Since the poor, oppressed and the meek are common in both Lucifer and Jesus, as well as real, that which corresponds to its symbolic representation of that which is illusory. That means they are interchangeable as well, being symbols of what they stand for. So, in order to place Lucifer, the god's adversary, in man's consciousness, i.e., in order to understand Lucifer in real terms, one has to turn to Jesus, because he is real and further, in order to understand Jesus' kingdom of heaven one has to turn to Lucifer's kingdom of torments, because the torments are real and the heaven is not. Thus the identity of Jesus and Lucifer is proved. (italics added--Ed.)
