The existence of ... (Heh)

[Modman]

So, we have a few threads to show how to combat those who believe in God, or even Allah. But, how does one combat this:

The Demonic Bible
by Magus Tsirk Susej, Antichrist
Servant & Disciple of the Dark Lord
As revealed to him by his Unholy Guardian Demon,
the spirit Azael. Preface


If power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, then the omnipotent
creator of heaven and earth must be the most evil son-of-a-bitch who ever lived.
Non-Christians, we are told, are damned to hell because they have not accepted
Christ as their personal savior. Non-Catholics, we are told, are damned to hell
because they have rejected God's Holy Church. And Catholics, we are told, are
damned to hell for bowing down to and worshipping graven images. The irony of
organized religious thought is the damnation of all, regardless of belief or
quality of life.
It has often been said by scholars that devils are "fallen" gods, or deities men
no longer worship. But then, are not gods simply devils men choose to worship?
Could it be that Yahweh and Allah are simply more "politically correct" devils
than Astaroth and Beelzebub? The followers of every religion have been condemned
by others as "devil-worshippers" at some time or another. In the "tolerant"
social climate of today, the Christian still condemns the Jew, the Jew still
condemns the Muslim, and the Muslim still condemns the Christian. Each is
willing to kill and commit heinous crimes in the name of his "god". Would it not
be more honest for man to admit that he is a worshipper of devils and a believer
in fairy tales? It is with these thoughts in mind that the Demonic Bible is
written. Stop now at the horror of these words and cower in fear for your
immortal soul, or read on and discover true and undefiled wisdom... for
enlightenment speaks to the brave.

The Magical Art


In the course of a man's life, there are moments of clarity and there are
moments of darkness. At his mental peak, he experiences great clarity of thought
and profound realization. And at his low, he experiences depression, anger, or
melancholy. Drugs, chemicals, foods and lifestyle changes may effect his thought
processes in various ways. Disregarding for the moment the objective existence
of spirits or demons, ritual magic is a way to control the mind. Without the use of drugs or chemicals, the magician controls directly his level of conscious
awareness. He experiences "being awake" mentally, a state which the mundane only
experience after large amounts of coffee or other stimulants. The spirits or
demons he calls upon exist within his subjective mind and respond to his
invocations. As a magician progresses in the Magical Art, he gains control over
his emotions and experiences more "peaks" than "lows".
The objective existence of spirits or demons does not need to be proven in order
to show the effectiveness of magic. Parapsychologists have shown, through years
of research and investigation which only the most cynical will deny, the
definite existence of telepathy or mental communication. The human brain
operates, like a radio, receiving the brain waves "broadcast" by others of
similar frequency. For this reason, telepathy is most common among close friends
or family members. A magician may be seen, then, as someone who has converted
the "receiver" of his brain into a "transmitter." At first he may only be able
to influence those who are on a similar "frequency" to his own or will have to
learn how to change "frequency" in order to influence those on different
"frequencies". But the more powerful his "transmitter" becomes, the more people
he will be able to influence directly.
The quickest and most direct route to the brain is through the optic nerve.
Mental transmissions from the brain are sent through the optic nerve to the eyes
and out through the eye cavities. This is the origin of the "evil eye" and
"fascination", as well as the expression "the eyes are the window to the soul."
In the Middle Ages, witch-hunters used to remove the eyes of "witches" so that
they would not be able to look upon them and curse them. Once a magician has
acquired control of his own mental states (through ritual magic), and has
converted the "receiver" in his brain into a "transmitter", he is able to
"influence" rather than "be influenced". He may even feel contempt for those who
are led around upon rash emotional whims without the slightest balance or
direction.
Many people carry around with them subconscious masochistic tendencies, causing
them to do things which will bring pain or misery upon themselves. In magical
terminology, this is called a "curse". In its most severe form, the human mind
becomes unbalanced, resulting in mental illness, paranoia, psychosis, or
schizophrenia. Many people have "cursed" themselves or have been "cursed" by
others, either intentionally or unintentionally. Wishing to place a curse on his
enemy, an accomplished magician (someone who has mastered the mental states of
his consciousness) may enter into a ritual chamber (enter into a "waking state"
in which his mind is fully active), invoke a spirit of destruction (create the
mental image of the spirit within his subjective mind), and command the spirit
to go forth and destroy his enemy (send out the mental "transmission" of hate.)
It matters not weather spirits exist objectively or not. They are real to the
magician who invokes them and to the victim who suffers the force of the mental
"transmission".
If spirits or demons exist objectively, as actual intelligent beings, then one
might think that they would have more important things to do than appear before
a "magic circle" and serve the whims of mere mortals. One might also think that
there would then be one "correct" tradition of magic and one "true" pantheon of
deities. This is not at all the case. All systems of magic use similar
techniques and work relatively the same. The fact that magic based on the
worship of pagan gods has the same efficiency as magic based on the Judaeo-
Christian Caballa and Gnosticism, shows that it is the techniques used (and
their effect upon the practitioner's mind) which accounts for magical powers and
not the particular deities or spirits called upon. Many spirits are accredited with giving knowledge of "arts and sciences". The
"Lesser Key of Solomon", a book of goetic sorcery, lists 72 demons which Solomon
allegedly bound inside a brazen vessel. This Cabalistic tale has its origin in
the Babylonian legend of the 72 Lords of the Djin. The word demon comes from the
Greek "daemon", an influencing spirit of intelligence. Djin (or genie) is also
the root of the word "genius." Although the word "genius" is often used by the
mundane, he who is called a "genius" is said to be under the influence of an
intelligence, daemon, or genie. If demons do not exist objectively (only
subjectively), then the question arises: how can we explain sudden knowledge
acquired through contact with a spirit?
Parapsychologists, in the study of telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition,
have only been able to prove the existence of telepathy. The reason for this is
that, while there is a great deal of evidence concerning the precognition of
future events, it can always be attributed to telepathic communication. The same
is true of clairvoyance and clairaudience. The clairvoyant who sees the spirit
of a woman's dead grandfather standing beside her does not see the actual spirit
of the man but, instead, reads the mind of the woman and, from the image of the
man in her mind, imagines him as a spirit. In dealing with the question of
"acquired" knowledge, we may consider that all knowledge humankind has acquired
resides in someone's mind. Reading the mind of an unknown subject thousands of
miles distant, the magician may aquire instant knowledge of various "arts and
sciences". This does not prove the objective existence of demons, only the
ability of the human mind to become a powerful "receiver" and "transmitter" of
telepathic signals. Unlike the mundane, who are influenced continuously by
thoughts which are not their own, the magician may "receive" the information he
desires without being controlled by the desires or aims of others.
There is an interesting phenomena which occurs in magic and which involves the
creation of thought-forms. The magician can create an image within his
subjective mind and "impose" it upon the objective world so that it influences
the subjective minds of all those individuals who come into contact with it.
Objects may be charged with this magical energy and become "charmed" or
"cursed". Within a magical group or coven a group-consciousness develops and
acts as if it were an individual entity. These thought-forms are also
responsible for buildings and locations assuming an aura; becoming "sacred",
"holy", "defiled", "unholy", etc. Thought-forms were used by Egyptian magicians
to guard burial chambers and resulted in the deaths of archeologists thousands
of years later. This phenomena cannot be explained by telepathy but is rather a
form of magnetism or mesmerism, concerning which much research has also been
done. The question arises: If spirits or demons are invoked by the magician and
exist within his subconscious mind, do they also assume an objective existence
(as thought-forms) separate from the magician himself? Do gods and deities exist
simply on account of man's belief in and worship of them as such? If this is, in
fact, the case then the magician may use telepathic (and vocal) communication to
communicate with (summon) all manner of gods, angels, and demons as well as to
control the minds of other men.
Having given you a completely rational explanation for magic, I must now point
out that magic will not work if it is approached from an intellectual
perspective. The reason for this is that Magical Art is the domain of the right-
side of the brain, the part responsible for artistic talent, and not the left-
side of the brain, the part responsible for logic and reason. It is the
subconscious mind, the irrational mind, the artistic mind with its dreams,
fantasies, and intuitions which is responsible for the "reception" and
"transmission" of these telepathic signals. Beneath the surface of man's
conscious mind is a world of fantasy and wonder to which the rational mind is an
"outcast". As long as the rational mind is excluded from the subconscious, it will question the existence or importance of anything involving the subconscious
to which it is not a part. Hence, the skeptic will question the validity of
magic even when he is influenced subconsciously by the will of others. Only He
who would practice the Magical Art need believe in its power.

The Dynamic Universe


In considering the true nature of God, one must first consider the nature of man
and of the universe, for without understanding himself or the universe in which
he lives how can man approach an understanding of God? Each man possesses a
consciousness independent of any other creature. He is aware of a separation
between himself and the world around him. He experiences images, sounds, scents,
tastes, and physical forms through what he perceives as his physical body. He
also experiences thoughts, emotions, and other phenomena which do not manifest
either visibly or audibly but which influence him nonetheless and which he
perceives as coming from "within" his consciousness.
From the earliest times, man has attempted to reconcile this condition of
"separation from the universe". Early man, in terror of the images and sounds
which bombarded him from all directions and of the earth which seemed ready to
swallow him once more as if the universe itself realized that it had made a
terrible mistake, scared of this thing called "life" and yet equally scared of
death, began to imagine hideous gods and demons all about him. These monsters
which roared with anger and surely had the power to destroy him would have to be
appeased or else death could be imminent.
As man survived fire and flood, disease and famine, the anxiety he felt
concerning his condition lessened. Man learned to live and even thrive in a
hostile and evil world. Civilizations rose to power and raised up animistic
deities as gods who now demanded worship and sacrifice in return for their
beneficence and blessing. The threat was no longer against an individual man but
against an entire society. To gain the favor of the gods, these deities had to
be appeased or else famine, pestilence, or war might come upon a nation and
destroy it.
Ultimately, the priests of many of these gods decided that their particular
deity was the true god, that all other gods were devils, and that the followers
of other gods had be converted or destroyed. Egypt was decimated by the Osirians
as they attempted to eliminate the earlier religions. In the Middle East, the
Hebrews went to war with the surrounding nations to annihilate them. Out of the
cults of Baal and Osirus, Tammuz and Dmuzi, Mithra and Zoroaster, rose a
sacrificial-god religion which would dominate Europe for centuries to come. The
age of paganism had ended and the age of theocracy had begun. Long after the
purpose of the gods they represented had passed, theocracies used their "divine"
authority to wage religious wars against supposed "infidels" and persecutions of
non-believers.
Many people today have rejected the established religions of the past. This is
natural when you consider that, while society has changed, the teachings and
doctrines of these religions have not changed in over a thousand years. Many
cannot reconcile the values and beliefs of society with the values and beliefs of the dominant religions within society. We are at a point in history where the
dominant religions of the past will be displaced by religions whose values are
in greater accordance with society's values today. This is why many people have
sought out new religions and have turned to Wicca and new age philosophies or to
alternative religious cults such as Heaven's Gate and the Solar Temple.
While cults devoted to new age mysticism or white light magic and spirituality
have had some success among those seeking for "something, ... anything
spiritual", due principally to Christianity's impoverishment of the ego and
starvation of the intellect, they are ultimately no more relevant to today's
society than the religions of the past. The world is searching for a religion
which embraces the scientific knowledge of today, recognizes the psychological
nature of man, and perceives the potential of man to achieve far more than he
has already, while holding to ethical beliefs and values held by society today,
and possessing a willingness to change those values and beliefs in accordance
with future changes in society. Despite some individuals who see in Satanism
nothing more than anti-Christianity, a depraved religion of blasphemism or an
expression for anti-social desires and impulses, the emphasis of Satanism on the
ego and the intellect and its recognition of man's ultimate potential has made
it the one religion relevant in today's society.
But to return to the question at hand, what is the true nature of God? If, by
God, one is referring not to a specific deity man has devised but to a
controlling force or intellect within the universe, then it is clear to me that
God, like the universe and everything within the universe, is in a continuous
state of change and evolution. What I am suggesting is that God, like matter,
energy, or consciousness, is "dynamic" not "static". Descartes said, "I think
therefore I am," but is this really true? In that which I perceive as my "mind"
there is a continuous stream of thoughts which flows through me like a river.
But am I my thoughts or am I the thing in which my thoughts manifest? Is the
river the water which fills the river, or is the river the rock and dirt over
which the water flows? Or is "river" simply a name I have given to that which I
perceive from the visual image of water moving over rock and dirt? And yet, a
river from one moment to the next is not the same river, for the water in the
river is not composed of the same water particles, and a man is not the same
from one moment to the next, since his thoughts and impressions change with each
passing moment.
If a man thinks for a moment that he has achieved enlightenment and
understanding, the pool of thought he calls consciousness stagnates and, as a
cess-pool, breeds worms and stenches like a swamp. The science of today is the
superstition of tomorrow and the genius of today the know-nothing of tomorrow,
for as the universe evolves towards ever greater levels of consciousness the
very concept of truth, enlightenment, or wisdom changes with it. I AM not, but
am becoming. The universe IS not, but is becoming. And if I, who possess
consciousness, am becoming, then the consciousness which guides and/or controls
the universe, from which my consciousness has its source, must also be becoming.
The dialectic method of thesis/anti-thesis and synthesis is the process by which
the universal dynamic evolves. I am not my flesh nor my blood. I am not my brain
nor my body. In realizing that the "I AM" of my being is pure consciousness, I
realize that I am God; I am the universe made manifest. And that which I call
Lucifer, the embodiment of wisdom and enlightenment, is also changing, is also
becoming. It is within me, it flows through me, it is what the "I AM" of my
being is. I am Lucifer. I am Satan.
There is one thing common to all gods man has created. Every man-made god is
static and unchanging. Yahweh resides in heaven, unchanging, unbending, the
creator of the universe and all that it contains. Christ sits at the right hand of God ready to judge the living and the dead. Zeus resides in Mount Olympus
holding aloft the lightning bolt, his symbol of divine power. The values of
society and the structure of its institutions are defined as "good." That which
threatens society is defined as "evil." The definitions of good or evil change
from nation to nation and from century to century. God is defined by that which
is "static" and unchanging. That which is "dynamic", a potential threat to the
status-quo such as war, revolution, political unrest, or social upheaval, is
represented by the Devil. But, if the universe is dynamic not static and
consciousness is NOT but is becoming then the devil, Satan, more accurately
reflects the true nature of God than Christ, Yahweh, or any other image of God
which man has defined.
The Sumerians believed the Dragon of Chaos, Tiamat, to be the mother of the
gods. The gods brought order to Chaos, but they were themselves the children of
Chaos and subject to its laws and conditions. The devil was not originally a
"rebel" against the order of creation but, the beginning and the end, the source
of all creation. "The dragon sleeps," we are told in the texts of old, "but
shall awaken." In the alchemical treatise, the Kybalion, it is said that "the
All is Mind" and "the Universe is Mental." The modern physicist, in accordance
with this principle of alchemy that matter and energy are mental phenomena and
that "everything vibrates", has stated that the electrons and protons within the
atom are composed of waves with various charges and rates of vibration. The
Universe is not, but is BECOMING! God is not, but is BECOMING! When Lucifer has
risen, when man has become God, then it shall be known that the Aeon of Lucifer
has begun.
Concerning Christianity


The earliest Christians approached Christianity as a philosophy compatible with
other philosophical beliefs. The Gnostic Christians saw no conflict between the
Christian religion and the mystery schools of Greece and Rome. Among the Celts,
Christianity was adopted by the Druids and was practiced alongside the earlier
pagan religion. The Greeks and Romans approached Christianity from an
intellectual perspective. The scriptures were accepted within the context in
which they had been written and were not interpreted as the literal Word of God.
The acceptance of Christianity as the official religion of Rome (and creation of
the Roman Catholic Church) signaled the end of this intellectual Christianity
and the start of a new authoritarian Christianity. In its rise to dominance, the
Church proclaimed earlier pagan religions to be forms of devil-worship and
condemned millions of innocent men, women, and children to death. Various
Gnostic sects were among those executed. Intellectual freedom was suppressed and
obedience to the Church was demanded.
With the Age of Enlightenment and the eventual separation of church and state, a
new emotional Christianity took the place of the authoritarian Christianity. The
new Christianity espoused faith in Jesus, the person, as the savior of man and
the redeemer of the world. The Bible was accepted as the living Word of God by
those claiming to be reborn in Christ. In emotional fervor many Christians would
take up serpents, speak in tongues, and witness miracles performed by faith
healers. This is the Christianity we have been left with today, a religion of
blind faith and superstition - intolerant of all others faiths. Many have rejected Christianity today because of what they see as the utter
ridiculousness of its ceremonies and the complete ignorance of its followers.
There is much wisdom to be found in Christian scripture, however, if one has the
time to read the many books which have been published in the Bible. One should
bear in mind that many other "holy books" have been written which have not been
included in the Bible and that, in addition to "inspired" writings like the
Bible and the Koran, there is much wisdom to be found in the writings of the
many philosophers throughout history. Only by accepting the Bible for what it
is, a book written by men and not the "living" Word of God, can one approach a
true understanding of these scriptures.
Read from a "satanic" perspective, the Bible reveals itself as a history of
Hebrew magicians and sorcerers. In a careful reading of the Bible, the prophets
of the Old Testament are shown to be practitioners of the Black Arts and Jesus
Christ, in his stance against hypocrisy and self-righteousness, is revealed as a
great Satanic Priest and Black Magician. To the inquiring mind it is clear why
the Magi of Persia (the Wise Men), were the first to acknowledge the birth of
Christ, for through their Magical Art and the practice of Astrology, they
recognized him as a naturally born magician. The eighteen lost years of his life
were surely spent in the east studying the knowledge of the Magi. The
practitioner of the Black Arts may be the truest Christian and he who would
follow the Dark Path set out in this book the truest Apostle of Christ.

The Aeon of Lucifer


To the true sorcerer there is no "good" and no "evil"; there is only his WILL.
This is the basis of Crowley's Law of Thelema. Those who interpret Crowley's law
"do what thou WILL" as "do what you want" fail to understand that it is the
magical WILL Crowley is referring to. What the sorcerer desires (or thinks that
he desires) may not be the thing which his "higher self" has truly WILLED to
occur. Expanding upon the Law of Thelema, Michael Aquino conceptualized and
proclaimed the Word XEPER, by which the sorcerer may "become" and ultimately
attain his true WILL, and the realization of his "higher self". Without Thelema,
Xeper could never have been, for it is by THELEMA that XEPER is possible.
XEPER is the Egyptian word which means "to become". In this context, it means
the achievement of one's higher self (what in Abramelin Magic is called the
"Knowledge and Conversation of your Holy Guardian Angel.") Many "Aeon
Strengthening" words were also spoken during the Aeon of Set. Magus Lewis
conceptualized the cycle by which one "became" and declared it in the word
REMANIFEST. Magus Flowers conceptualized the unknown, the hidden, and declared
it in the word RUNA. As a traveler might walk for days and never reach the
horizon, RUNA is that horizon. As a traveler might walk for days only to find
that everywhere he sleeps is "here" not "there", REMANIFEST is "here". XEPER is
the process of "becoming"; RUNA is the horizon of all that is unknown and beyond
your understanding; REMANIFEST is "here" (the point at which you have
"manifested"); and XEM is "there" (the place to which your "higher self" is
guiding you.) XEM may be any destination, but realizing that man's ultimate goal
is to become God, XEM becomes DEITUS. Many have rejected Christianity today because of what they see as the utter
ridiculousness of its ceremonies and the complete ignorance of its followers.

guiding you.) XEM may be any destination, but realizing that man's ultimate goal
is to become God, XEM becomes DEITUS. DEITUS is the achievement of the power of a God. To become a God, you must
realize that you are a God. It has been commonly believed that God created the
universe. It is actually the universe which is creating God. Satan is a metaphor
for man. The rise of Lucifer is the rise of man to his eventual destiny. The
Aeon of Lucifer did not destroy the Aeon of Set, but augmented it. Set is the
"dynamic" of the universe, the source consciousness which - through man - is
creating God. "The Word of the Aeon is - DEITUS - for man has become God,
Lucifer has risen, the dragon has awaken, the gates have been flung wide and the
heavens have been conquered. The Ancient Ones rule once more. By your WILL
alone, the genetic code of man has been altered. By THELEMA and by XEPER, you
are now DEITUS! A new race, a superior race, has been born. No longer shall you
be called "Homo Sapien"; you are now "Homo Deitus"! No longer shall you be
called Man for you have become God. You and your seed shall live immortal upon
the earth, as gods upon the earth. The Aeon of Lucifer has begun! Nations of the
earth bow down before my chosen ones. Men of the earth bow down before my chosen
ones. Kings of the earth bow down before my chosen ones. You, who have served me
faithfully, shall take your place as gods upon the earth!"

Each Aeon represents a stage in the non-natural evolution of man. DEITUS could
not have been proclaimed as an Aeon enhancing word within the Aeon of Set since
it changed this relationship between man and the universe. The Aeon of Isis was
a time when man lived in close harmony with the natural world and the dominant
religions involved the worship of nature (the pre-Christian pagan world.) The
Aeon of Osirus, which followed it, was a time when man rejected the natural
world, accepting self-denial and sacrifice of the flesh and body as the ideal.
In the west, Christianity rose as a dominant religion during that time.
The Aeon of Osirus ended and the Aeon of Horus began April 4, 1904 when Aleister
Crowley, Magus of the Aeon of Horus, uttered the Word THELEMA (the Greek word
for Will). The WILL in this context was a magical WILL, for in the Aeon of Horus
man would no longer be bound by the death-cults of the past. The Age of Satan
began April 30, 1966 when Anton LaVey spoke the words "Indulgence instead of
Abstinence," thus breaking the power of Christianity over its followers. With
the Age of Satan, man was once again free to celebrate his carnal existence. The
Aeon of Set began June 21, 1975 when Michael Aquino, Magus of the Aeon of Set,
spoke the Word XEPER. In the Aeon of Set, man would seek to attain full
realization of his "higher self".
The Aeon of Lucifer began May 5, 2000 with the declaration of the word DEITUS,
an event coinciding with extensive research being conducted in genetic
manipulation and increasing international cooperation between scientists on the
"human genome project". In DEITUS, man need no longer "seek" his higher self for
by THELEMA and by XEPER he has "attained" it. DEITUS depends upon THELEMA and
XEPER just as XEPER depends upon INDULGENCE, THELEMA and RESTRICTION. Man must
pass through each preceding Aeon in order to reach the current Aeon. DEITUS does
not involve the dissolution of man's consciousness into "universal
consciousness". By dissolving his consciousness into the "universal
consciousness" he would be unable to act separately and distinctly upon the
universe and would thus be unable to ever attain DEITUS.
DEITUS does not represent the end of "becoming" or the end of XEPER and
REMANIFEST. To believe for a moment that he has reached the end of the road,
that he has become a God, and that his journey is over, the sorcerer would be
making a terrible mistake. The Aeon is itself "becoming" within the universe and
the universe is itself expanding. By attaining DEITUS, the sorcerer realizes
that man is "becoming a God"and accepts "his place as a god upon the earth." Hisconscsiousness expands to the limits of the current Aeon and he then continues
to XEPER and REMANIFEST in direct relationship to the universe.
The sorcerer realizes that his consciousness and his will are a manifestation of
the universal dynamic, which man calls SATAN. Having attained DEITUS, man
becomes the very embodiment of SATAN. The dragon (a second consciousness which
contains the knowledge of his ultimate purpose) awakens. As man becomes the
embodiment of SATAN and rises to become a God, Lucifer arises, for the rise of
Lucifer is a metaphor of man's ultimate purpose and direction. In DEITUS, you
see not only the limits of the current Aeon, but become aware of future aeons
which shall come into being as the universe evolves to ever greater levels of
consciousness and man rises to his manifest destiny.

The Dynamic Consciousness


The universe is not logical. Existence is not logical and life is not logical.
How can something come out of nothing? If ever there was nothing there should
still be nothing. How can the universe be infinite? Yet nothing can exist
outside of the universe. How can time be eternal? Yet nothing can exist outside
of time. How can mass produce consciousness? If ever a man was not conscious he
should still be unconscious. The order of the universe suggests the existence of
a god but what created God? If energy cannot be created or destroyed then there
is a finite amount but what created energy? The universe should not exist. Life
should not exist. There is no logic.
The universe is not reality... It is only a dream. Consciousness alone exists. A
single consciousness alone exists, isolated in a void of nothingness. There is
no God. There is no other consciousness besides that of the One. It sleeps. It
dreams. As it awakens from one dream, another dream begins. There is no reality
for it to awake to. There is nothing outside of consciousness. The universe
seems real to the characters in the dream but what they perceive as "self" does
not exist. The consciousness of the many are the consciousness of the One. The
lives of the many are the dreams of the One.
Deep within every man this knowledge resides. This is why man sees himself in
others. What he hates in others is what he hates most in himself. What he fears
in others is what he fears most in himself. What he loves in others is what he
most wants to possess himself. How he treats his fellow man is a reflection of
his true feelings towards his individual consciousness. Those who worship "God"
are fools, for they deny the reality of the One which exists within them. Those
who fear "God" are frightened of shadows for there is nothing beyond
consciousness.
Descartes said, "I think therefore I am," but what is thought? Why should man
give more credit to the pound of organic matter he calls his "brain" than he
does to rock or dirt? Can matter or energy produce consciousness, can nerve
cells within the brain "think" any more than stones upon the ground? If this
were true then man would be nothing more than a robot following out his
"programming" as designed by nature. That which decays and rots in the ground is
not the source of consciousness. Consciousness animates the material but is not governed by it. The source consciousness is all that exists. The One is all that
is real.
A man's life is a river but what is a river? Is it the water which flows over
rock and dirt, changing from moment to moment, or is it the riverbed over which
the water flow, which changes also but over a much longer period of time. If the
water is diverted, the river dries up and a new river is formed. Can that which
never existed die? Can it spend eternity in bliss or in torment? Can it be
reincarnated in another form? It cannot be said to die if it never existed. Only
the consciousness which enlivened it exists. When consciousness is cut off by
the end of flesh, it is diverted elsewhere creating new life. There is only
consciousness and it is without end.
The mystic says "deny the ego, surrender yourself to the universal
consciousness." This is folly for by rejecting one's own consciousness, the
universal consciousness which animates the individual is also rejected. If I am
God made manifest then my thoughts are the thoughts of a god and my actions are
the actions of a god. My desires are the desires of a god and my Will is the
Will of a god. If I am "good" or I am "evil" then I am a god of goodness or a
god of wickedness. The sadomasochistic nature of the dynamic consciousness
becomes evident as one considers that the source consciousness which animates
all things manifests as both predator and prey. Whatever is within one's nature
to do is within the nature of God to carry out. As Aleister Crowley wrote: Every
man and every woman is a star; there is no sin in any action which is in
accordance with one's will and desire. Every soul is a manifestation of the One,
the One which is divided for love's sake and for the pleasure and pain of unique
existence. The life of an individual is of no consequence; the source
consciousness alone exists, experiencing the pleasure and torment of each life.

The Demonic Bible


The Demonic Bible is written upon parchment made from human flesh in ink made
from human blood in a strange alien script, the language of the daemons, dark
gods from a time before the creation of man. This dark book contains the magic
of the Ancient Ones. Many of its rituals involve human sacrifice, cannibalism,
rape, and torture. The Demonic Bible has been revealed, at least in part, to
those sorcerers and magicians throughout history who have walked the Dark Path.
These magicians have translated passages from the Demonic Bible into various
languages, often changing certain words in order to hide the true nature of the
work. The Grimoire of Abramelin the Mage, the Clavicula Solomonis, the Book of
Shadows, and the Necronomicon are among the many books transcribed from the
dread pages of the Demonic Bible.
The Demonic Bible was shown to the magician John Dee. Dee translated eighteen of
the "demonic" keys from the strange demonic language in which the Demonic Bible
is written. When Dee translated his Keys from the Demonic Bible he named them
the Enochian Keys. They are not, as is commonly believed, named for the Enoch
who "walked with God" but rather for Enoch, the son of Cain. Cain was the first
man to perform the rituals of the Demonic Bible and he murdered his brother as a
sacrifice to the Ancient Ones. His son, Enoch, was given to the serpent from
birth. This demonic language revealed to Dee during his scrying experiments is written in an ancient script which has been passed down for centuries by
practitioners of the black arts (many of them unaware of its origins). Thi
script has been called by various names, but is most commonly known today
"theban script" or the "witch's alphabet".
The formulas in this book were revealed to me in part by my Unholy Guardia
Demon, the spirit Azael, and also in part by Astaroth, Asmodeus, Moloch, a
Beelzebub. This book includes many of the formulas given in the Demonic Bi
but is not the entire Demonic Bible, the unholy book being thousands of pa
length in its entirety. When originally revealed to me by the spirit Azael
work included only the crossing of four gates, corresponding with the four
"Princes of Hell", and an extraneous book dealing with the invocation of t
dead. I performed the rituals and experienced the "crossing of the gates"
extremely vivid and symbolic dreams. Since then the spirits have revealed
additional rituals to me. This book has been a work in progress. It has ev
over the last ten years as I have progressed along the Dark Path. Rituals
enhanced the work have been added while rituals which did not have any
noticeable benefit have been discarded. Having performed the rituals in th
book countless times, I have been able to perfect the formula whereby the
magician may attain knowledge and power beyond description.
Rituals dealing with the invocation of spirits of the dead and resurrectio
corpses as well as magical seals, charms, and spells have been omitted fro
book in order to avoid such things being used foolishly by those who have
interest in magic beyond the acquisition of wealth and the satisfaction of
ambitions. If you desire it the spirits will reveal to you all manner of
sorceries whereby you may attain that which you desire. This book provides
key to crossing the Gates of Hell and becoming one with the Forces of Dark
Rather than give you spells, charms, and seals for material benefit, this
provides you with the means to aquire these things yourself.
Initial to performing these rituals, you must take a "Bath of Purification
bath in salt water. The reason for this is that salt is a universal purgan
Taking a bath in salt water will remove any psychic influence, either "pos
or "negative". This will remove any curse or blessing and temporarily elim
the presence of any spirit or demon. Fill your bath with hot water, throw
of rock salt into the bath, and then enter into the water. You must submer
your entire body in the water to ensure that all psychic influence is remo
from you. Once done, you will be in a "neutral" starting position from whi
begin these rites. It is important that you only do this once, preliminary
performing these rites. If you take another "Bath of Purification" later y
will have to start the rituals over again.
On the same day that you take a "Bath of Purification", you must also wash
sheets and blankets from your bed, wash your clothes, and clean your ritua
chamber and sleeping chamber. Quitting the bath, you must dry yourself wit
clean towel and put on clean clothes. This initial process of "Consecratio
in accordance with all of the ancient grimoires involving ceremonial magic
the invocation of spirits. You must avoid, however, the temptation of beco
fanatical at this point concerning cleanliness. According to the Book of
Leviticus, "if you touch anything that is unclean, sit upon anything that
unclean, or eat anything that is unclean you will become unclean." It is n
absolute purity which is required but simply a washing off of external
vibrations which may negatively influence these rites.
The question of whether or not anything is every really "clean" is an
interesting one to consider. The moment you step out of the bath, psychic
influences will begin to attach themselves to you. If you are psychically attunes, you may be more aware than usual of these influences. Any "guardian"
spirits or intelligence's you have acquired will be outside your bath awaiting
your return. You may ask, what then is the point of the "Bath of Consecration"?
External influences may never be completely neutralized, however, many
influences will be eliminated, including those unwanted influences which are
prone to hinder the operation of your rituals. The bath also serves as a
separation between your old life and new life. As a new born infant emerges from
the fluid of the womb to a new life, so will you emerge from the waters of
Leviathan to be reborn in the image of Satan.
These rites do not require an altar, sword, dagger, bell, gong, robe, wand, or
any other ritual implement. Although not essential to these rites, you may
choose to burn candles and incense. If this is done, only black candles should
be used. Any "dark" or "evil" incense may be used in these rituals but I
recommend patchouli (graveyard dust). You will require a piece of paper, a pen,
and a plate on which to place the burning parchment on the night you burn the
pact giving your body, mind, and soul to Lucifer. You will also require a bowl
of water on the night you perform the baptism (this is "unholy" water). You will
further require a small jar of oil for your anointing on the night you receive
your ordination (this is "unholy" anointing oil.) You may use any glass or cup
as a "chalice". You may use any liquid as an "elixir" (I have often used coffee
rather than liquor since coffee is a stimulant which I found enhances the work
more than alcohol.) You may wear any clothing if you do not have a robe,
although you may prefer to dress in black.
Each ritual builds upon the previous rituals. Each alignment you make requires
that previous alignments have been made. Each gate you cross requires that
previous gates have been crossed. You must perform these rites in the order they
are presented and you must not perform them outside of the context in which they
are here given. If you are an experienced sorcerer, you may choose to perform
one ritual each night, i.e.. "Renunciation & Proclamation" on the first night,
"Lord's Prayer backwards" on the second night, "Pact giving body, mind, & soul"
on the third night, etc. If you are less experienced, you may find it more
beneficial to spend an entire lunar month crossing each gate and forming each
alignment. If you cannot perform a ritual on a particular night, then continue
where you left off on the following night. This is not a ritual which is
performed within a ritual chamber for a determined length of time, but rather a
magical operation which will take months, even years, to complete. You may,
therefore, choose to begin these rites on a night of special magical
significance such as Walpergisnaught (April 30) or Halloween (October 31). Or
you may simply choose to begin around the full moon or the new moon.
The rituals can take any form you choose. It is not essential to shut out all
outside light sources unless you are prone to distraction. You may adapt the
rituals to your liking but they must be committed to memory. For this reason, I
have left the invocations simple and repetitive. You will have no problem
memorizing the invocations and can easily add your own embellishments when you
enter the ritual chamber. The following is an example ritual working which a
novice practitioner may wish to employ:
* Set myself apart to the Dark Lord.
* Become celebate, abstain from drugs and alcohol, eat less.
* Study the occult every day, perform ritual every night.
[Beginning three nights before the full moon:] Day 1: Shave my head, take Bath of Purification in salt water.
Day 2: Recite "Renunciation & Proclamation" three times.
Day 3: Recite "Lord's Prayer" backwards three times.
Night of the Full Moon: Burn pact giving body, mind, and soul to Lucifer.
[Beginning on the night of the full moon:]
1st lunar month: Invoke the Unholy Trinity
2nd lunar month: Invoke the Nine Lords of the Abyss
3st lunar month: Invoke my Unholy Guarian Demon.
4nd lunar month: Invoke Satan (the south, fire).
5rd lunar month: Invoke Lucifer (the east, air).
6th lunar month: Invoke Belial (the north, earth).
7th lunar month: Invoke Leviatan (the west, water).
8th lunar month: Perform "Ritual to Become the Devil Incarnate."
9th lunar month: Invoke Paimon (open the 1st lock of the abyss).
....... etc.
Nightly Ritual
1. Dress for ritual and make any preliminary preparations.
2. Enter ritual chamber; shut out all outside light sources.
3. Light candle(s).
4. Light incense; place incense in incense burner.
5. Wait a few minutes; allow the incense to fill the room; meditate upon intent
of ritual.
6. Recite preliminary statement ("I have crossed the Gates of Hell... etc.").
7. Recite incantation three or more times; until satisfied that the alignment
has been formed.
8. Drink from chalice as a sign of communion with the Forces of Darkness.
9. Extinguish candles; allow light to once again enter the ritual chamber. In the performance of these rites you shall set yourself apart to the Forces of
Darkness, consecrate your body as a temple to the Dark Lord, cross the Gates of
Hell, and become one with the Forces of Darkness. This differs from all other
systems of magic involving the invocation of spirits. White magicians stand
inside protective pentagrams wearing protective amulets to shield themselves
from the forces they call upon. In the Satanic Bible, Anton LaVey mocked the
hypocrisy of those who attempted to protect themselves from the forces they
called upon for aid. Satanic priests have known for many years that the "Forces
of Darkness" could be invoked (or more correctly "evoked") into the sorcerer's
body, but rituals of this type have never been made available to the aspiring
witch or wizard because of the inherent danger in such rituals. In other rituals
demons are invoked as external forces (friendly, perhaps, but external to the
magician) which may be directed and controlled by the Satanist. Many less-
experienced practitioners still fear these forces which they call upon as
something alien to themselves and "evil". The adept practitioner realizes that
these forces are not external (existing within the objective universe) but
internal (existing within the sorcerer's subjective mind).
What will become apparent to the practitioner of these rites is that Satan,
Lucifer, Belial, and Leviathan are aspects of the human psyche, archetypes which
exist within the subconscious and subrational mind, not external beings which
can in any way influence the magician to good or evil ends. The objective of
this system of magic is not to "invoke" Satan to physical appearance (for that
would be mere hallucination) but rather to become Satan (or to actualize that
aspect of the psyche which is called "Satan"); not to "invoke" Lucifer but to
become Lucifer; not to "invoke" Belial but to become Belial; not to "invoke"
Leviathan but to become Leviathan. The purpose of these invocations is to
achieve power, knowledge, and enlightenment by activating those parts of the
brain which have been called the "Forces of Darkness".
Scientists realize that the average human being uses less than 10% of his brain.
If a grimoire such as the Goetia of Solomon or the Grand Grimoire says that the
spirit Dantalian "will declare the secrets of all Arts and Sciences" then by
stimulating the area of brain called "Dantalian" you will understand things
previously unknown to you. Just as many animals pass their "knowledge and
experience" to their offspring through their genetic code, human beings have the
ability to access "genetically transmitted" knowledge. If a grimoire says that
the spirit Seere "will provide True revelations of things stolen or lost" then
by invoking the spirit Seere an area of the brain largely responsible for
psychic ability will be stimulated in the sorcerer and he will experience
prophetic dreams. If a grimoire says that the spirit Sitri "enflameth the love
of women" then the invocation of the spirit called Sitri will stimulate an area
of the brain responsible for personal magnetism and charisma, making the
sorcerer more attractive to members of the opposite sex.
Rituals from other systems of magic may be incorporated into the Demonic Bible,
however, the rituals of the Demonic Bible may not be performed within another
system of magic or within a group whose members have not all performed these
rites and advanced to the same level. The reason for this is that the rituals of
the Demonic Bible have a profound psychological effect upon the psyche. Improper
use of these rituals could cause "demonic possession", "mental illness" or
abnormal psychological states. Proceed cautiously through these rites taking
each step in turn. If you are unsure that you have successfully formed an
alignment or crossed a gate then continue to perform the same ritual until you
are confident that you are ready to proceed to the following ritual. Do not be
alarmed if you have extremely vivid and horrific dreams (or experience lucid
dreaming) unless you begin to have recurring nightmares. It is not uncommon to
have nightmares when you first begin these rites as your subconscious mind reacts with horror to the "evil" it is witnessing. These dreams should be
cathartic and act merely to purge the subconscious mind of any inherited guilts
and inhibitions. Recurring nightmares, however, are a sign of deeply held fears
and anxieties which could, through continued ritual activity, evolve into some
form of neurosis.

If power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, then the omnipotent creator of heaven and earth must be the most evil son-of-a-bitch who ever lived.

Semantically cute, but the concept is supposed to only extend to humans, with selfish nature. Not that I believe in the patently silly concept of a god, heh.

Non-Christians, we are told, are damned to hell because they have not accepted Christ as their personal savior. Non-Catholics, we are told, are damned to hell because they have rejected God's Holy Church. And Catholics, we are told, are damned to hell for bowing down to and worshipping graven images. The irony of organized religious thought is the damnation of all, regardless of belief or quality of life.

This doesn't really make any sense. It's as if the author doesn't understand theism, particularly Christian theism, or just wants to twist facts. He completely ignores the concept of almost everyone else getting into "heaven". Not everyone is damned according to the Bible, or any mainstream religion, and he neglects two other important organized religions: Hinduism and Buddhism (you know, those religions that make up nearly half the world's population), which scarcely speak of damnation (some Hindus believe in a Hell, though it's significantly different from the Christian Hell).

The rest of that post is essentially proposing the occurrence of telepathy, and mental projection. These subjects have been under research for years, and "proof" has been found both to support and deny them. Personally, I'm not sure, and I hardly think that's worth the kind of fervent debunking one might give theism.

The world is searching for a religion which embraces the scientific knowledge of today, recognizes the psychological nature of man, and perceives the potential of man to achieve far more than he has already, while holding to ethical beliefs and values held by society today, and possessing a willingness to change those values and beliefs in accordance with future changes in society. Despite some individuals who see in Satanism nothing more than anti-Christianity, a depraved religion of blasphemism or an expression for anti-social desires and impulses, the emphasis of Satanism on the ego and the intellect and its recognition of man's ultimate potential has made it the one religion relevant in today's society.

Most of the world isn't searching for a new religion at all; they're happy with their present, antiquated ones. Those who aren't are either atheists, agnostics, or said new-age religion-seekers, who either have something against the old religions, or want to be unique, and are the same weak-minded people that fall to theism's gift of perceived self-significance. They're looking for a magical, interesting reason that they're here. Or, they're atheists, using pseudo-religion as a way to make friends.

The science of today is the superstition of tomorrow and the genius of today the know-nothing of tomorrow, for as the universe evolves towards ever greater levels of consciousness the very concept of truth, enlightenment, or wisdom changes with it.

No, science is science. Science influenced by superstition, and science ineptly conceived, is exposed as erroneous tomorrow.

He goes on to mock the history of Christianity, and I wholeheartedly agree with him, except for the entire Satanic Jesus/Hebrew black arts magicians concept. Yes, they're just as absurd as any other magical figure, but he's reaching a little far.

You repeated a few fairly large chunks here and there, incidentally.

The universe is not reality... It is only a dream. Consciousness alone exists. A single consciousness alone exists, isolated in a void of nothingness.

Wouldn't it be interesting if this were true? The Matrix touched on this in a sense, and we never can be sure what's real. In any case, this is all conjecture. Without any basis for his claims, the author just goes about telling us how things REALLY are, and it's just as arbitrary to believe this as it is to believe in any other religion, or, more applicably, no religion.

In your last post, several words on the right side are cut in half, for some reason.

After laboriously reading through the remainder, I have nothing significant to say, other than that this is the same kind of fact declaration that every other religion uses, and I don't find it any more enlightening, or intellectual than, say, Buddhism (in fact, Buddhism is much more impressive). Once the author purports to establish his religion, with the assumption that everyone is primed to absorb and believe, he goes on to tell you about his magical fairytale religion, preaching just as any zealot would, taking for granted that these are facts. I'm unimpressed.

And, "you bastard", for posting something so huge

[Modman]

LoL, I might have been in a hurry when I copy/pasted. The original is in a blog on msypace, but I'm not sure if the profile is private or not. I'll check.

I had already come upon a few of the conclusions you drew, but I hadn't had time to post them on here. The others were interesting, and I thank you for taking the time to reply.

I suppose the thing that struck me about this particular bid on a religion was the application of logic in the beginning. Albeit ultimately flawed logic, but logic nonetheless.

Oh, for your first quote: the flaw is personifcation.

[Lazy Bastard]

Which, in flaw, you spelled incorrectly

[Modman]

;( Damn alcohol.

[Lazy Bastard]

Heh, it happens. Incidentally, I 0wned our theist fellows in my last reply to the Huron debate. Hilarious.

[Modman]

So I saw. Very nice.
