In this personal truth video, Joy D. Fanning (who calls herself an “Astronaut of Life”) recounts her first encounter with the entity she identifies as the angel Lucifer during a chakra‑based meditation practice. She describes how her Southern Baptist upbringing caused an immediate fear response, leading her to pause her practice. After setting a high‑good intention and returning to the meditation, she experiences a simultaneous connection with both Lucifer and Source (God), describing vivid visualizations of an infinite metallic loop that she interprets as the essence of creation. Over time, she reframes Lucifer from a feared devil figure to a luminous guide who assists souls in low‑frequency states, likening his role to a lighthouse. She reflects on how this encounter forced her to confront and release deep‑seated religious programming, projection, and ego‑based assumptions about spiritual entities. Joy also shares her personal healing narrative, including a period of severe depression, therapy, and the “spark of hope” she now associates with Lucifer’s light. She offers practical advice for seekers: work with the chakras for a month, set clear intentions for meeting guides, and remain open to unexpected entities. Finally, she promotes her spiritual mentoring services and an Introduction to Meditation course, inviting viewers to join monthly group sessions.

Hey, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, spiritual seekers! My name is Joy D. Fanning, Astronaut of Life. I help spiritual seekers go inward to explore through meditation, and every so often I make what's called a personal truth video where I talk about my experiences in meditation and kind of the lessons I've learned with them. Today's lesson I've been very, um, hesitant, I guess is the best word to talk about this. And I've mentioned it a few times in the past, but I want to talk about how I connected with the angel Lucifer and what it means and how to respond when you go into meditation and maybe meet an entity that surprises you, or that you have like some conflict with. So here we go. Okay, so I was looking back in my notes and it looks like it was like around November where I first was introduced to Lucifer, and it was— I was working on my chakras and kind of seeing guides with them. And when I got to my crown, I was meeting all the guides and they were all hunky-dory. And then when I got to my crown, it was Lucifer. And what I also find interesting, the first time he showed up, I got freaked out because I grew up Southern Baptist, which is a branch of Christianity and Protestantism. And obviously Lucifer is considered evil. He's considered to be Satan, a fallen angel, all these things, right? So then I see this angel and I just get this knowing that it's Lucifer, and I'm freaked out. Like, I just stopped meditating. Like, you know, total freak out. So that, that can happen, right? I had to really sit with it. And I know there's a lot of talk out there about protecting yourself and things like this. When I meditate, I set the intention that I only meet beings for my highest good, and I had done that when I met Lucifer. And it really challenged me. I was like, does that mean it's not working? And then I had to really think. I was like, well, one, the frequency was 1,000% angel. Like, just like I've met other angels in meditation, you just know if you know what I'm talking about that it's an angel. There really is no other frequency for it. So it's like, no, can't fake that. And he said it was Lucifer. And I knew I needed to meditate more with him and on him, but I was very, I was very hesitant. I didn't do it for like a week, and when I did, what was so beautiful was in relation to connecting with Lucifer, I also connected to Source or God, and I would meet them both in meditation. And I think that was for a reason, one, to make me feel a little calmer because God was there, right? Source. And what Lucifer really showed me was his relationship with God, which was beautiful. And every time I did this, every time I did this, I would— my, my knowledge, my understanding of God or Source just expanded. At first it was— it looked like I was in space. There's just emptiness, right? And I saw this metal infinity. I don't think it's really metal, but it looked metallic, and it was moving, and it was going in this infinity sign. And when I first saw that, first time, I thought that was God. And I was like, oh, okay, Lucifer was helping me figure out God. When I meditated again, I was brought to that same place. This is days later, and I was taking a step back where it was like, that's creation. This big, expansive, infinite nothingness is God. This is God. This is— it just never ends, right? This is This is Source. This is where it all is. And this tiny little infinity is all of creation just repeating itself, going in loops. It was mind-blowing, totally mind-blowing. It took me a while to get there though. I wouldn't have got to have this experience with Source if I didn't allow myself to connect with Lucifer. As I worked with him, I— he challenged me to watch the show Lucifer on Netflix, which I did, which really helped me kind of see him in a different light. And now I'm going to read a few things. So back then, while I was watching the show, I wrote down— this is back in December— what if Lucifer was sent to hell, or like lower frequencies, because I don't really believe in hell. Like low frequencies, to be a light. Because when I see him with my third eye, he is so bright, so much light, and it is such a loving energy that it was really confusing for me because I had all this old programming, right, from my Christian background. So he's a light a guide for souls to find the way out of the darkness. He is the angel in darkness, not because he is dark, but because he is in the dark. Do you understand this difference? He's an angel assigned to help those in the lower frequencies. He— his light is like a beacon or a lighthouse drawing them to Source. Okay, he's— and I feel like that show Lucifer, granted, I don't think everything about that— don't literally— I chose not to take it literally, but the symbolism there of how Lucifer himself, the character, has to kind of learn this about himself because so much is projected onto him, right? Think about it. Like, I consider myself open-minded, but then I meet him and I'm like, oh hell no, I don't meet with Lucifer. I had to release these old programming or preconceptions that I had from my past. And then think globally, how many people just believe him to be the devil? There is so much projection onto him I really can't. I would say God would be the only other entity, or Jesus, that people project things onto. But to me, he's right up there with them on people projecting. And as you know, I lost a friend, a spiritual friend, just talking about this because she projected onto me her own fears and beliefs and preconceived notions about Lucifer. And I talk about that in another video, and I had to release that. And It was really sad. I have had depression before, and I literally called it my dark place. This was several years ago, like 7 years ago, when I was just— I was really depressed. I couldn't make it through a day working without crying. I would always go home early because I just couldn't. I didn't want to be around people. I, I couldn't do it. And It was unbearable, literally unbearable. I do— I would not wish it on anybody to have a dark place and to feel like they're stuck in it. And thankfully, I got, I got so beat down that I got a therapist, and it— and I slowly worked out of that darkness. And now I've never— I would say my mental state and my inner world, my mind is so far from that dark depression. But there's always like a little spark, right? There's that little spark. Even when I was depressed, this little spark of hope. And I feel like that's what Lucifer represents— a little spark of hope and light. In a sea of darkness, I don't really meet with Lucifer anymore. He was there to more teach me these lessons about Source, about God, and about himself. And I, I see many angels. I feel like my crown is like my connection to my angels. But I wanted to connect. I knew I was going to make this video, so I was like, okay, we're gonna meet with Lucifer And this time, instead of in meditation, I wrote it down. Okay. And I was— I said— I felt Lucifer is ready to speak. He said, yes, Joy, we are connected. Our bond is strong. I understand why many fear me, but the stories you have of me on Earth are false. My light is shown to those who need help out of the darkness. A darkness that you yourself have experienced. That's— he's talking about my depression. I have never and will never harm humans. My light reflects that of Source, or as many of you on Earth call God. There is no Satan who rules over you, just your own fears. People blame me when they don't wish to see what is in themselves. So when I read, I remember as I was writing this, that phrase, the devil made me do it, came to mind. It's like you don't want to take responsibility, so you just scapegoat Lucifer, right? Love. My light is love, and it is, and its intensity is too much for some. Do not fear me. Do not fear the love of Source. Thank you, Joy, for facing the fear and talking about me. The time has come for humanity to know the true story. To all who hear this, let your love shine. Never dim it for the sake of others. Oh, that just gives me like another lesson from Lucifer. He keeps shining even though everybody assumes he's the devil, right? I think it is very— what's the word I'm thinking of? Um, maybe it don't come to me. When you make assumptions that you know the stories of the Bible or the real history, that feels very ego-based to me. I, I, I don't know. Can you feel that energy? That just feels like you're, you're assuming things and you're saying it's truth, but you weren't there. Or if you were, you don't remember, right? Um, And I— that was a big lesson I learned with Lucifer, was to just keep an open mind. You never know what in— what projections we humans have put on these entities. We don't know the real story. We don't know so much. When you think about how much you know and how much you don't know To me, how much I know is such a tiny speck, you can't even see it in the grand knowledge of all the knowledge. Am I making sense? I hope I'm making sense here. So if your goal is to meet entities or meet your guides and you don't know who they are yet, but you want to know, right? Because that's where I was when I met Lucifer. Be prepared. Be prepared to be confronted with programmings that you have, or, you know, beliefs that you might not even say you believe in, but then when you're confronted with it, you're, you're faced with that harsh truth that you might still believe it. Okay, there's several entities out there that have preconceived negative projections. I'm just gonna say projections on them when really, in reality, if you dig into their story, they're not negative at all. And that just makes me so sad. But also, to me, it's such a gift when they come and, and have you confront that and kind of make you deal with it. I think that's a gift in, in all reality, because if Lucifer hadn't shown up, if it had been Michael or, you know, Gabriel, pretty much any other angel, right, I just would be like, oh, I got an angel and that's my angel. No, I was confronted with like the one angel I would not want to be connected with, and that's what showed up. So Just stay open, you guys. Stay open. If you are having trouble like figuring all this out for yourselves, the way I mainly do it is working with the chakras, right? You do that for like a month, do it every day, and powerful things are gonna happen. Set these intentions. Always make sure to say, for my highest good. Okay, and if you don't, you can set the intention, I want to meet so-and-so, I want to meet this entity. If you want to leave it open, you can. If you need help with this, I offer spiritual mentoring. I can totally help you do this. Okay, I also have an Introduction to Meditation course where I teach you the basics of meditation, and in the last week we're going to go over the basics of the chakra. So if this information this whole meditating and chakras, these are terms you've heard but you're just not sure what they mean or how to do it or anything like this, but it resonates, check out my links below because I would love to have you join this course. I'm going to start it at the first of every month and we're just going to do it with different people every time. There's going to be a group. You would— it's going to be great, guys. Okay, so I hope this video has found you well. I hope it leaves you well. I know it might have ruffled some feathers, but you know what, I'm past caring about that. And I'm not even going to say no offense. I'm just past caring about ruffling feathers. And if anything, like Lucifer said, this is the time, you know, to face your fears about talking and speaking your truth. There's no more need to hide, you guys. There's really no reason to stay in that darkness of fear. And that's it for me, you guys. I love you all so much. Bless you all. Namaste.
