Lucifer is the demiurge, who created our visible world by breaking the static cosmic order. It is the demiurge or second emanation that is the nous in Plotinus. The Demiurge, one of those Aeons, creates the physical world. The nous of the demiurge proceeds outward into manifestation becoming living ideas. Plotinus and the later Platonists worked to clarify the Demiurge. This is the God above the Demiurge, and manifests through the actions of the Demiurge. Later Platonists clarified that the eternal model existed in the mind of the Demiurge. This fulfills the prophecy of the Demiurge.
