Shedding 'Light' On A Dark SBS TV Spot

Two mysterious figures 'enlighten' the dark masses by bringing them entertainment? Please. With the number of references to 'light', 'knowledge' and 'darkness' in this one minute TV spot, the esoteric meaning is clear to those in the know...


I must admit, I was really excited when I came across this ad, because the occult symbolism in it was so blatantly obvious they may as well have flashed “Hail Lucifer!” across the screen in big red letters. Watch it first: click here.

The Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), for those of you outside of Australia, is a TV channel that broadcasts such programs as World News Australia, News programs from other countries, Arts programs and random foreign films late at night that generally tend to feature lots of nudity and sex scenes (I know it probably doesn't say that in Wikipedia, but all of us over here know that).

Anyway, if you know anything about Luciferianism and can’t see the significance of this ad, then quite frankly you must be blind. Even those of you not in the know would probably feel that there is some deeper meaning behind this quirky, gothic television spot—and you’d be right, of course.

The ad opens on a demonic image embossed on an ancient stone wall, which points up with one hand, and down with the other—demonstrating the principal of “as above, so below”—obviously, he takes after someone:


A female voice-over, who reminds me somewhat of Galadriel from The Lord Of The Rings film adaption, opens:
Once, we lived in darkness, in a world smothered by fog. Bereft of beauty, exempt of inspiration, of dreams, laughter, magic.

We see a world that is a dull, slate-coloured wasteland with wide eyed Gollum-esque creatures ambling about mindlessly in a circle. This behaviour represents oppression or bondage, and is consistent with the Luciferian image of God as an oppressive figure who desired to withhold knowledge of Good, Evil, and Magick from human beings. This idea is further implied by the one creature who sits in the bottom of a pit, rocking in the foetal position. A crimson leaf (a colour of great occult significance, including initiation, sacrifice, life, etc) flutters down to him, but dries soon after he catches it (just as the narrator describes the world as bereft of 'magic'). These creatures are unable to access or grasp the energy of creativity or use magic, despite the fact that they may see glimpses of both. Though wrinkled, gaunt and bag-eyed, their wide eyes imply 'innocence'; they’re like children.

'Darkness' is also a common metaphor for 'ignorance', (eg. keeping someone 'in the dark'), which again hints at a Luciferian vision of the past before Lucifer rebelled by giving human beings the power of Knowledge.

However, the hero of this seemingly hopeless situation soon arrives:


But, there was one among us who would not accept the darkness; who would not live with it any longer.
One who ventures out night after night into the farthest reaches of the world, and brings back… the light!

We see a wise-looking fellow with a tall entourage, running purposefully through the graveyard-wood. The entourage bears a candlestick with three lit red candles (that never seem to go out no matter how fast they run), and the shorter fellow carries a film negative wrapped in cloth, as well as a pair of very large black eyebrows that point upwards and bear a remarkable resemblance to devil horns. However, at this point you may be so distracted by the film wheel that you sit back and say “ah, that’s what they’re on about: a world without movies and entertainment! That would be a dark world indeed. Aww, how cute!”

The two then enter an old, rundown performance theatre. As they walk down the isle, the little grey men all rise up out of their seats in wonder at pointy-eyebrows and candlestick (aka 'light') bearer—aka 'Lucifer'! They climb up a tower-esque structure to the movie projector that seats at its peak. Lucifer’s entourage then sucks in the fire from the candle stick, blows it gently into the old-school projector, and Lucifer whispers:

Let there be light

With a friendly, intelligent expression upon his face, pointy-eyebrows saves the day. The whole theatre becomes illuminated by the light brought by the light-bearer, and the wide-eyed masses living in darkness see the light and wonder at it in amazement, thus they become 'enlightened' by the light of Lucifer in an occult-like ceremony.

 

I apologise for not being able to find more pictures. Please feel free to point out anything I may have missed. Also, if you know the significance of the floating ball that appears in a stone archway at around 0.20 in the video, please let me know, as I haven't a clue at this stage!
