How do you know what you saw wasn't influenced by Christian teachings and traditions prior to your incident? We've had people on these very forums who had NDE and still admitted that the experience was subjective and not conclusive of anything.
They have elicited out of body experiences with electric shock treatment, fooling the brain into thinking it was outside of the body briefly. Hallucinations are in turn documented and repeated human experiences over time, being projections of the mind, typically with subconscious undertones.
Ironically, his constant use of blue font makes me think his words come from the cold, icy depths of the abyss. I'm now certain that JIA is really an agent of Cthulu in disguise.

Lucifer was an angel; the shining one, the morning star. You're thinkng of Satan. Or Beelzebub. Or Mephisto.
'Lucien' is the French version of 'Lucius', a name in Latin derived from "light" or "to shine". Like with Heaven's Light. Like what 'ol Lucifer used to shine with til he got all prideful. Fortunately for me, I have no pride.
In short, no. It's not a co-name. Never was, never will be. It is the name of myself once I seize a British peerage, however. It's also the name of the bad guy from Fable II. I like the sound of the 'Lord' part so much I just had to add it.

GENDER: Masculine
USAGE: Judeo-Christian Legend
PRONOUNCED: LOO-sə-fər (English) [key]
Meaning & History
Means "bringing light", derived from Latin lux "light" and ferre "to bring". In Latin this name originally referred to the morning star, Venus, but later became associated with the chief angel who rebelled against God's rule in heaven (see Isaiah 14:12). Even later it became associated with Satan himself.

Lucifer. He's not "technically" the same as Satan. The Lord of Darkness and the Fallen Angel became merged over the centuries as Christian lore developed.

Lucifer started out in the Hebrew Bible as just a (lower case) word for Venus--then called the "morning" or "dawn" star. "Morning star" was used to describe a Babylonian king who was laid low (in metaphor he once shone brightly as the morning star--lucifer in Latin--but was brought to his knees).
Satan started out in the Hebrew Bible as well, but as a member of the Divine Council. He did Yahweh's bidding in tempting mortals away from Him, e.g. the story of Job. Here he was called the adversary, but he wasn't evil (he was an agent of God). In Christianity, his adversarial nature eventually caused him to be developed in to the fallen angel we all know about, and sometime in the 4th-5th century, started being compared with the "fallen star" lucifer metaphor. Hence the upper case: Lucifer. The two have been largely synonymous ever since, but their origins are very different indeed.
