Satanic Bible Excerpts - Part II

From The Book of Lucifer - The Enlightenment:

• To the Satanist, "God" -by whatever name he is called, or by no name at all- is seen as the balancing force in nature, and not as being concerned with suffering. This powerful force which permeates and balances the universe is far too impersonal to care about the happiness or misery of flesh-and-blood creatures on this ball of dirt upon which we live.


• Anyone who thinks of Satan as evil should consider all the men, women, children and animals who have died because it was "God's will".


• Positive thinking and positive action add up to results.


• When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that it is natural to make a mistake - and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again.


• The Yezidis, a sect of Devil worshipers, take a different viewpoint. They believe that God is all-powerful, but also all-forgiving, and so accordingly feel that it is The Devil whom they must please, as he is the one who rules their lives while here on earth. They believe so strongly that God will forgive all of their sins once they have been given the last rites, that they feel no need to concern themselves with the opinion God may hold of them while they live.


• Man needs ritual and dogma, but no law states that an externalized god is necessary in order to engage in ritual and ceremony performed in a god's name.


• Envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition - and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished.


• It must be pointed out to these destroyers of labels [scoffers who maintain that labels are not necessary] that one or many articles they themselves are wearing are not necessary to keep them warm. There is not a person on this earth who is completely devoid of oranmentation. The Satanist points out that any ornamentation of the scoffer's body shows that he, too, is guilty of pride. Regardless of how verbose the cynic may be in his intellectual description of how free he is, he is still wearing the elements of pride.


• ...the Pagans reveled in the delights of the flesh, and were condemned by the very same people who celebrate their rituals, but call them by different names.


• When one name is no longer appropriate for a given thing it is only logical to change it to a new one which better fits the subject. Why then do we not follow suit in the area of religion? Why continue to call a religion the same name when the tenets of that religion no longer fit the original one? Or, if the religion does preach the same things that it always has, but its followers practice nearly none of its teachings, why do they continue to call themselves by the name given to followers of that religion?


• If you do not believe in what your religion teaches, why continue to support a belief which is contradictory with your feelings.


• You have no right to complain about a political situation you have voted for or supported in any way - which includes sitting back and complacently agreeing with neighbors who approve the situation, just because you are too lazy or cowardly to speak your mind. So it is with religious balloting. Even if you cannot be aggressively honest about your opinions because of unfavorable consequences from employers, community leaders, etc., you can, at least, be honest with yourself.


• Satanism represents a form of controlled selfishness. This does not mean that you never do anything for anyone else. If you do something to make someone for whom you care happy, his happiness will give you a sense of gratification.


• Do unto others as they do unto you.


• You should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but if your courtesy is not returned, they should be treated with the wrath they deserve.


• White witchcraft groups say that if you curse a person, it will return to you threefold, come home to roost, or in some way boomerang back to the sender. This is yet another indication of the guilt-ridden philosophy which is held by these Neo-Pagan, Pseudo-Christian groups. White witches want to delve into witchcraft, but cannot divorce themselves from the stigma attached to it. Therefore they call themselves white magicians, and base seventy-five percent of their philosophy on the trite and hackneyed tenets of Christianity. Anyone who pretends to be interested in magic or the occult for reasons other than gaining personal power is the worst kind of hypocrite. The Satanist respects Christianity for, at least, being consistent in its guilt-ridden philosophy, but can only feel contempt for people who attempt to appear emancipated from guilt by joining a witchcraft group, and then practice the same basic philosophy as Christianity.


• There is nothing wrong with dogma, providing it is not based on ideas and actions which go completely against human nature.


• For two thousand years, man has done penance for something he never should have had to feel guilty about in the first place.


• Whenever a nation comes under a new form of government, the heroes of the past become the villains of the present.


• If you love everyone and everything, you lose your natural powers of selection and wind up being a pretty poor judge of character and quality.


• Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lesson your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional ailments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones.


• There has never been a great "love" movement in the history of the world that hasn't wound up killing countless numbers of people, we must assume, to prove how much they loved them. Every hypocrite who ever walked the earth has had pockets bulging with love.


• Satanism has been thought of as being synonymous with cruelty and brutality. This is so only because people are afraid to face the truth - and the truth is that human beings are not all benign or all loving.


• By honestly recognizing and admitting to both the hate and the love he feels, there is no confusing one emotion with the other. Without being able to experience one of these emotions, you cannot fully experience the other.

On the notion of "psychic vampires"...

• Many people accept these passively vicious individuals at face value only because their insidious maneuvers have never been pointed out to them. They merely accept these "poor souls" as being less fortunate than themselves, and feel they must help them however they can. It is this misdirected sense of responsibility (or unfounded sense of guilt) which nourishes well the "altruisms" upon which these parasites feast.


• Each person must decide for himself what his obligations are to his respective friends, family and community. Before donating his time and money to those outside of his immediate family and close circle of friends, he must decide what he can afford, without depriving those closest to him. When taking these things into consideration he must be certain to include himself among those who mean most to him. He must carefully evaluate the validity of the request and the personality or motives of the person asking it of him.


• It is extremely difficult for a person to learn to say "no" when all his life he has said "yes". But unless he wants to be constantly taken advantage of, he must learn to say "no" when circumstances justify doing so. If you allow them, psychic vampires will gradually infiltrate your everyday life until you have no privacy left - and your constant feeling of concern for them will deplete you of all ambition.


• A psychic vampire will always select a person who is relatively content and satisfied with his life - a person who is happily married, pleased with his job, and generally well-adjusted to the world around him - to feed upon. The very fact that the psychic vampire chooses to victimize a happy person shows that he is lacking all the things his victim has; he will do everything he can to stir up trouble and disharmony between his victim and those people he holds dear.


• You, however, are being vampirized if you are incessantly called upon or expected to do favors for someone who, when you need a favor, always happens to have other "pressing obligations".


• Many psychic vampires will give you material things for the express purpose of making you feel you owe them something in return, thereby binding you to them.


• Being purely Satanic, the only way to deal with a psychic vampire is to "play dumb" and act as though they are genuinely altruistic and really expect nothing in return. Teach them a lesson by graciously taking what they give you, thanking them loudly enough for all to hear, and walking away! In this way you come out the victor. What can they say?


• Don't waste your time with people who will ultimately destroy you, but concentrate instead on those who will appreciate your responsibility to them, and, likewise, feel responsible to you.

On compulsion and indulgence...

• People often mistake compulsion for indulgence, but there is a world of difference between the two. A compulsion is never created by indulging, but by not being able to indulge. By making something taboo, it only serves to intensify the desire.


• In other words, indulgence implies choice, whereas compulsion indicates lack of choice.


• It is ironic that the responsible, respectable person - the one who pays society's bills - should be the one given the least in return.


• It has become very fashionable to concentrate on the betterment of the mind and spirit, and to consider giving pleasure to one's body (the very shell without which the mind and spirit could not exist) to be course, crude and unrefined, AS OF LATE, MOST PEOPLE WHO DEEM THEMSELVES EMANCIPATED HAVE LEFT NORMALCY ONLY TO "TRANSCEND" INTO IDIOCY.


• It seems, to the Satanist, hat after being harnessed with unreasonable religious demands for so many centuries, one wold welcome the chance to be human for once.


• The Satanist asks, "What is wrong with being human, and having human limitations as well as assets?".


• The simple fact of the matter is that the very thing which has led this type of person to a faith which preaches abstinence, is indulgence. Their compulsive masochism is the reason for choosing a religion which not only advocates self-denial, but praises them for it; and gives them a sacrosanct avenue of expression for their masochistic needs. The more abuse they can stand, the holier they become.


• "We have to accept the fact that man has become disgruntled at being constantly repressed, but we must do everything we can to at least temper the sinful desires of man, lest they run rampant in this new age," says the religionists of the right-hand path to the questioning Satanist. "Why continue to think of these desires as shameful and something to be repressed, if you now admit they are natural?" returns the Satanist.

On human "sacrifice"...

• The "white" magician, wary of the consequences involved in the killing of a human being, naturally utilizes birds, or other "lower" creatures in his ceremonies. It seems these sanctimonious wretches feel no guilt in the taking of a non-human life, as opposed to a human's.


• The fact of the matter is that if the "magician" is worthy of his name, he will be uninhibited enough to release the necessary force from his own body, instead of from an unwilling and undeserving victim!


• These poor conscience-stricken fools, who have been calling themselves withces and warlocks, would sooner chop the head off a goat or chicken in an attempt to harness its death agony, than have the "blasphemous" bravery to masturbate in full view of the Jehovah whom they claim to deny!


• The treaders of the path of white light are truly the cold and the dead. No wonder these tittering pustules of "mystic wisdom" must stand within protective circles and bind the "evil" forces in order to keep themselves "safe" from attack - ONE GOOD ORGASM WOULD PROBABLY KILL THEM.


• The use of human sacrifice in a Satanic ritual does not imply that the sacrifice is slaughtered "to appease the gods". Symbolically, the victim is destroyed through the working of a hex or curse, which in turn leads to the physical, mental or emotional destruction o the "sacrifice" in ways and means not attributable to the magician.


• Under NO circumstances would a Satanist sacrifice any animal or baby.


• The purest form of carnal existence reposes in the bodies of animals and human children who have not grown old enough to deny themselves their natural desires. They can perceive things that the average adult human can never hope to. Therefore, the Satanist holds these beings in a sacred regard, knowing he can learn much from these natural magicians of the world.


• The Satanist does not hate himself, nor the gods he might choose, and has no desire to destroy himself or anything for which he stands.


• The question arises, "Who, then, would be considered a fit and proper human sacrifice, and how is one qualified to pass judgment on such a person?". The answers is brutally simple. Anyone who has unjustly wrong you - one who has "gone out of his way" to hurt you - to deliberately cause trouble and hardship for you or those dear to you.


• The reason a person viciously strikes out against you is because they are afraid of you or what you represent, or are resentful of your happiness. They are weak, insecure, and on extremely shaky ground when you throw your curse, and they make ideal human sacrifices.


• Mad dogs are destroyed, and they need help far more than the human who conveniently froths at the mouth when irrational behavior is in order. It is easy to say, "So what! - these people are insecure, so they can't hurt me". But the fact remains - given the opportunity they would destroy you.

On the end of life and fulfillment of the Ego...

• By holding the martyr up as a shining example to his fellow man, they eliminate the common sense reaction that willful self-destruction goes against all animal logic. To the Satanist, martyrdom and non-personalized heroism is to be associated not with integrity, but with stupidity. This, of course, does not apply in situations which involve the safety of a loved one. But to give one's own life for something as impersonal as a political or religious issue is the ultimate in masochism.


• Satanism uses many labels. If it were not for names, very few of us would understand anything in life, much less attach any significance to it - and significance compels recognition, which is something everyone wants, especially the Eastern mystic who tries to prove to everyone how he can meditate longer or stand more deprivation and pain than the next fellow.


• We generally think of a braggart as a person with a large Ego; in reality, his bragging results from a need to satisfy his impoverished Ego.


• It is rather curious that the only time suicide is considered sinful by other religions is when it comes as an indulgence.
