/satanic/ - The Hole in the Wall

This world is full of pain and suffering. Might is right, might is the ability to inflict pain onto others. Pain is the currency for power, Evil always wins over good, for good is weakness to enemies.

There is nothing in this world in your future except pain and torture, a longing for life to be as it was before, when you had less pain. You long for pleasure but even if you get it it is not like it was before. Darkness and defeat rule over the world in a 1000 years of darkness.

The Dark Lord Satan rules supreme, it is not something you would normally wish to happen, but I have seen what the world is, and embraced it. I try to embrace the pain I will recieve in the future by justifying it the best way I know how. This world is ruled by evil.

When speaking about Satanism, the first thing to realize is that there are a multiplicity of Satanisms. If you were to ask a spiritualist, a traditionalist, a neo-modernist, a symbolist, your answer could vary from Babylonian, Zoroastrian or even Buddhist in origin. That is to say, Satan could be a force, power, a being, an essence, a concept.

As for me, Satanism represents an existential resistance against homogenized domination, a spiritual battle that plays out into the material realm vis a vis psychosocial re-structuring and practice.

>do you believe in Jesus
I do not believe in a living Jesus, no. I do suspect that such a revolutionary once existed, but history has conflated him into this personality cult encircling Christianity. It is a known fact of history that Christianity assimilated myths, stories and legends from varying cultures, even playing out to this day: the Catholic Church with its purgatory and its prayers to the Virgin Mary are testament to this hybridization.

>Do you believe in God?
I suspect with this, you are talking about "Jehovah". I do not have any faith within a Yaweh figure, a contorted creature of extreme jealousy and contradictory egotism.

>What were Lucifer's motives for rebelling?
I cannot say. There are many theories as to why, within Christian Lore, Lucifer rebelled. The KJV bible speaks of Lucifer being envious of Jehovah, and thus leading a 1/3 angelic rebellion.

As to the entity of Lucifer, I do not think of him as Satan. Such a concept relies heavily upon the King James Bible. As proof of this, the Vulgate translation even used "lucifer" as a reference to the "morning star rising within your hearts": https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+peter%201:19-1:19&version=ESV

>the Dark Lord is evil incarnate

What is evilness to you?

I am curious: I do not think of the Dark Lord as one of evil. To me, the idea that evilness is replicated by Satan seems like a cultural repeat of His demonization.

I think the concept of something or somebody being evil is just a term created by opposing religions like Christianity.
I guess what most Christians think of as a evil person is a simply a "sinful" one. I don't think sins should limit you, the only thing that should limit you is actual state law, otherwise, do what you please. (the entire intolerance towards homosexuality, fetishes is just sickening, and I wonder, why are things like lust so closed-out and are rated sometimes almost as a crime, when it is just entirely natural to lust)

You seem to have autism,only a weakling would submit to pain and torture if you had any strength you would plan on resisting

Very interesting information and an even more interesting point of view, thank you.

By the way, is a site like sacred-texts a good resource for information about religions, old knowledge? Or is it more like the very bold statements in for ex. the JoS site, stating that old knowledge is "corupted"/"erased"?

Or should I look into more recent book releases?

JoS Satanist here and I browse sacred-texts a lot. The thing with corrupted information is, you really have to know the intention and meaning of the original text, otherwise, you're not going to understand shit.

For example right now I'm reading the Rig Veda. Thanks to Christianity and the RHP, it's corrupted beyond anything we know. Understanding that Sanatana Dharma or Eternal Law was originally about advancing the soul and raising the serpent(kundalini) we have to read texts like these from a satanic perspective.

>TLDR nothing we read about ancienct religion or true spirituality is going to be free of christian dross, try to sift it out as much as possible. Don't take anything at face value. Study and read as much as you can, then compare and contrast.

There is power which dominates over society, existing within symbols of its own, surrounding ourselves with mirages and staged personality complexes, infusing itself within psychosocial discourse. This suggests that there does exist old knowledge, utilized to constrain society within aesthetic puppetry, mobilized in degrees to suppress collective potential.

I think sites and research centers, such as sacred-texts, hold useful data and information, ideas from which you can draw conclusions and interesting studies. I do not think that true knowledge is ultimately unattainable. However, it is my belief that absolute truthful knowledge exists within a mirage of its own, a representation of truth that makes sense to us given other conditions of governing knowledge- e.g. the notions of moral justification, our conceptions of linguistic structure, the dominating social themes within our culture, etc.

I would suggest that any modern book can be dived into and research will produce beneficial information. To what purpose it exists and sustains itself ultimately decides its wide-spread utility. I do think that historical interests have restrained knowledge before, see: Library of Alexandria. Its tale is a strange tale indeed, with many alternating stories and approaches to its destruction. This suggests that it was used as a pinnacle of information and was controlled by dominating powers in order to create a presentable dilemma- centralize all "world knowledge" within one locality, and then spread stories of its eventual attacking and systemic burning while preserving the desired narrative. To me, this theoretical scenario doesn't differ too much from the systemic reconditioning undergone vis a vis the Council of Nicea, and other manipulating paradigms, such as Mao's structural engineering. Society tends to reconstruct truth using standardizations upheld by dominating institutions. In many ways, our Internet is our Library of Alexandria.

I agree with you to a degree, but disagree with you to another. I think Christianity, largely composed of political measures to accustom its message, is itself filled with ancient dross and psychosocial conflicts which predate its collectivizing. Hence, why so many of its stories are shared in historical passages of older, different mythologies.
