About the story:

1. Introduction: Understanding the Premise

 We examine a modern spiritual allegory(a narrative in which characters or events symbolize a deeper lesson in the form of hidden image) written in screenplay format—Lucifer Was Innocent: The Red Pill. This book is not a conventional novel; it’s a philosophical script that dramatizes the conversation between the author and the biblical figure Lucifer. 

The author, Tirth Raj Parsana, introduces a bold thesis: Lucifer is not evil, but a misunderstood seeker of freedom, truth, and enlightenment. The title’s reference to the “red pill” (from The Matrix) symbolizes a desire to awaken from illusion—to see the world as it truly is, not how authority tells us it is.

2. Key Narrative Arcs

a. The Protagonist’s Journey

The protagonist—essentially a version of the author—is a disillusioned truth-seeker. He challenges God, questions religion, and ultimately summons Lucifer for answers.

b. The coin test

Lucifer asks him to flip a coin until it lands on “tails.” After many "heads," it finally does. This metaphor suggests that truth doesn’t appear until one persistently breaks patterns. Think of it as resisting social conditioning.

c. The Revelation

Lucifer introduces forbidden Gnostic texts, such as the Gospel of Thomas or Secret Gospel of John, to argue that:

• God is not the only divine being.

• The biblical God may represent control, not love.

Lucifer’s rebellion was necessary to give humanity freedom and knowledge (like Prometheus in Greek myth).

This is the Intellectual core of the book that, organized religion hides the truth and enslaves the mind.

3. Thematic Analysis

i. The Red Pill vs. Blue Pill

• Red Pill: Accept harsh truth, embrace freedom, awaken spiritually.

• Blue Pill: Remain in comfortable illusion (religious dogma, blind faith).

ii. Lucifer as a Symbol

• Not a demon, but a fallen angel who questions authority.

• A metaphor for human curiosity and defiance.

• Reframed as a figure of light, courage, and suffering for truth.

iii. Critique of Religion

Author claims that religion:

• Prevents humans from realizing their own divine power.

• Uses fear (hell, sin) to control.

• Censors ancient wisdom that reveals our inner divinity.

4. Philosophical Underpinnings

Let’s tie in some philosophy:

• Gnosticism: Belief that secret knowledge (gnosis) liberates the soul. The material world is often ruled by a false god (Demiurge), while true divinity lies within us.

• Nietzschean Themes: Rebellion against imposed morality. God is dead, so we must become our own creators.

• Eastern Influences: Echoes of Kundalini energy, inner awakening, and chakras are hinted at, especially when Lucifer talks about "resurrecting your energy."

5. Literary Merits & Criticisms

 Strengths

• Bold and thought-provoking reinterpretation.

• Encourages readers to question tradition.

• Accessible to a younger audience through modern metaphors.

 Weaknesses

• Lacks scholarly rigor.

• Simplifies complex theological ideas.

• Screenplay format sometimes weakens narrative depth.

• Some language is sensational, even immature (“resurrect your fluid energy”).

6. Conclusion: Why Study This Text?

Whether you agree or disagree with the author’s views, this book does something important: it invites us to engage with faith, power, and truth critically. It’s not theology—it’s a dramatic provocation.

Ask yourself:

1. If the devil was simply a rebel… what does that say about authority?
2. And if forbidden knowledge leads to light… who benefits from keeping it hidden?

That’s the challenge this book gives us—to take the red pill and start thinking.

And the end we get to know that the author "Tirth Raj parsana" was the chosen one by the Lucifer itself.
