Our Abyssal Universe of Consciousness

By Magister Hagur

The name “Sinister Pathway Triangle Order” is an inner subjective group work per three adepts which gives way to the metaphorical black journey we go on, within ourselves, as we explore our beliefs or unbelief, our strengths, and our weaknesses, in an attempt to understand ourselves, and bring about self-growth, self-reliance, self-love, self-power, and the kingdom within. We need to overcome past trauma and negative experiences as through Christianity’s impossible dogmas, child and old age near death abuse .

Consciousness

Consciousness is our knowing that we know; that phase of knowing by which we take cognizance of our existence and of our relation to what we call environment. Environment is made by ideas held in mind and objectified. The ideas that are held in mind are the basis of all consciousness. The nature of the ideas upon which consciousness is formed gives character to it. Consciousness, the direct awareness: the incessant flow of sensation, images, thoughts, feelings, desires, and impulses, which one can observe, analyse, and judge.

The subconscious mind, or subjective consciousness, is the sum of all man’s past thinking. It may be called memory. The subconscious sometimes acts separately from the conscious mind, for instance, in dreams and in its work of carrying in bodily functions, such as breathing and digestion. The subconscious mind has no power to do original thinking. It acts upon what is given it through the conscious or the subconscious mind. All our involuntary or automatic activities are of the subconscious mind, they are the result of our having trained ourselves by the conscious mind to form certain habits and do certain things without having to centre our thought upon them consciously.

Personal consciousness is formed from limited, selfish ideas and self-esteem

Sense consciousness is a mental state formed from believing in and acting through the senses.  It is, allegorically, the serpent consciousness, deluded with sensation. Since an individual becomes attached to whatever he thinks about, the result of his forming sense consciousness is that he withdraws his consciousness from the Dark Gods (Energies), and looses conscious connection with his Source, the Cosmic Tree of Wyrd.

Material consciousness (or, the field of consciousness) is much the same as personal and sense consciousness. It is a state of mind based on belief in the reality of materiality, or in things as they appear. It is the area in which we are directly aware, the sphere in which the personality, with its constant flow of thoughts, perceptions, feelings, desires, sensations and other activities functions consciously. It could also be called the field of experience, because we have learnt  through our vehicles, to recognize the phenomena surrounding us – odour, sounds, sights and much more. However, it is the field we move through, the field we more or less deliberately move out to and return from, and is not to be confused with the “I”.

The conscious self or the “I”, the point within the embodied of pure self-awareness, different from the changing content of our consciousness (the sensations, thoughts, feelings, and more). It is the true centre of awareness, and in varying degrees the observer, the analyst and controller of the field.

The superconsciousness, or superconscious mind, is the Higher Self, a state of consciousness that is based on true ideas, upon an understanding and realisation of the Oneness of Truth, our Sinister Truth.

The Higher Self, or the “Self” with a capital letter, submerged in the ceaseless flow of psychological contents, disappearing (walking away as it were) when we fall asleep, when we faint, when we are under the effect of an anaesthetic or narcotic, or in a state of hypnosis, and when one awakes the “Self” is appearing again.

The Collective Consciousness. According to Jung, consciousness, seemingly the “sine qua non” of humanity is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath consciousness lies a much larger substratum of forgotten or repressed personal memories, feelings and behaviours, which Jung termed the personal unconscious. Moreover, beneath that lies the deep sea of collective unconscious, huge and ancient, filled with all the images and behaviours (souls, entities) that have been repeated over and over (reincarnation) throughout the history of not only humanity, but also life itself (all creation). As Jung said: “… the deeper you go, the broader the base becomes.”

The Collective Consciousness consists of images and behavioural patterns not acquired by an individual in his or her lifetime, yet accessible to all individuals in all times, “unconscious” because it cannot be reached through conscious awareness. Here is faith and intent, rituals, pathworkings, and meditation to  be brought into practice, to open ourselves up to the universal but hidden treasure. The collective unconscious or consciousness (as I prefer to say) dwells in each of us. Much of our life is structured by the archetypal symbols that are the organised units of the collective unconscious (consciousness).

Here, it is where religion is absolutely wrong. They taught and still teach of paradise or heaven, purgatory identical to hell-fire, and hell. These doctrines have been introduced when humanity knew not better, heaven above, behind the clouds and the blue sky or firmament, and hell beneath the earth. Since, man passed through the sky, went on the Moon, photographed planet Mars and other planets, sends satellites in the air far from eyesight, presenting as such a different view about the cosmos, macrocosmic and microcosmic. Where is your God hiding? Where is that eternal abode for the saved ones as well as for the damned, Science says, “nowhere”.

The psychologists Carl Gustav Jung, Roberto Assagioli, and many others claim scientifically, “there is a collective consciousness, which is neither  a philosophic construct nor a religious dogma, but an albeit, sometimes rather a primitive attempt, to present an “accurate” description of the inner world of the psyche, and its relation with the outer material world.

Carl Gustav Jung found this world or universe by carefully exploring the dreams of his patients, then relating them to similar themes he found in the fairy tales, mythology, art, culture of the world.

The collective unconscious contains information that can be accessed by anyone at any time, appearing to have no limits in time and space. The collective unconscious keeps information that was recorded, say, by primitive people, or it can access information about events that have not yet taken place in one’s life. The problem, the collective unconscious does not fit into an individual brain very well. It needs training to catch something from the collective unconscious.

The inhabitants as it were of the collective unconscious, along Carl Gustav Jung’s comments are called “archetypes”, meaning formless patterns that underlay both instinctual behaviours and primordial images. Christians and others would say, “but this is heaven”, and forget all about hell, as one can hardly locate “hell” in heaven. Well, it all does not work that way.

What is really an archetype according to Carl Gustav Jung?

Jung discovered that humans have a "preconscious psychic disposition that enables someone to react in a human manner." These potentials for creation are actualized when they enter consciousness as images. There is a very important distinction between the "unconscious, pre-existent disposition" and the "archetypal image." The archetype may emerge into consciousness in myriads of variations. To put it another way, there are  very few basic archetypes or patterns which exist at the unconscious level, but there are an infinite variety of specific images which point back to these few patterns. Since these potentials for significance are not under conscious control, we may tend to fear them and deny their existence through repression, or attract them.

To use a verse from the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, chapter 20, verse 12: “And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life....” This is an illustration of the Collective Consciousness and its archetypes, keeping a record of absolutely everything, nothing whatever is lost. We die, and physically we disappear, but our thoughts and whatever of our actions remain forever. And, it can be called forth through mediumship. The collective consciousness is filled with memories of images and behaviours we have acquired during our lifetime. Indeed, passing the domain of the personal unconscious we pass into the regions of the collective unconscious, such as tribal and cultural memories. One can pass even into racial memories, and even memories of early species.

Is this really possible? Or, is this again religious nonsense? Sorry, we have no time for religious non-sense. The answer is found in the scientific knowledge of dreams. Dream research has indicated that dreaming is hardly confined to humans. Even an animal dream.

Between the conscious man and the collective consciousness lies the mental way of telepathic interplay as it were, and through psychic development is this mediumship possible. The undeveloped and unthinking human being, the non-mental man or woman can be and often is telepathic, but the centre through which they act is from the solar plexus to the solar plexus (to the self-same level) , the characteristic of the animal body of man. An example, the telepathic rapport between a mother and her child. High telepathy is from mind to mind, and it is with this form of communication that the highest investigations are possible. Communication with the collective consciousness is a kind of telepathy, the drawing of oneself to an archetype. However, telepathy and the allied psychic powers will only be understood when the nature of cosmic forces and its emanations, radiations and energy currents will be fully understood.

(The Solar Plexus is often confused with the navel chakra, and most writers refer to only a single chakra, located either at the navel or the solar plexus. However, these two centres are quite different

The Solar Plexus Chakra is located midway between the navel and the base of the sternum. It supports the spleen, pancreas, stomach, and liver. Each of these vital organs in addition is associated with its own chakra, just as the heart, lungs, and kidneys are.

The Solar Plexus Centre is one of the main power chakras of the individual. It is associated with the functioning of the aura or psychic energy field, and with Etheric and Astral plane sensitivity . The Solar Plexus Chakra is also the centre of etheric-psychic intuition: a vague or non-specific, sensual sense of knowing; a vague sense of size, shape, and intent of being. The Solar Plexus Chakra - like the Heart Chakra above it and the Navel Chakra below it - is a purely Emotional Centre.)

A professional medium claiming, “I see your deceased mother-in-law standing before me, in a grey dress, and so on and forth, is only an archetype, relating some truth. But, when the medium says, “she feels sorry for what she has done to you”, is only rounding up the story to bring appeasement to the client. The medium may have felt an enmity between the two of you, and that’s all. Or, she or he must be a very good medium.

There have been occasions that people gave me a photo about someone, in the hope of getting some thoughts through. Two questions should always arise: Is the person dead or alive? And, “Is it a recent photograph?”

What is important:

1.     The medium of transmission

2.    The method of transmission

3.    The manner of reception

4.    The mode of inter-related activity between the medium and the collective consciousness where the archetype should come forth.

The true telepathic person is him or her who is responsive to impressions coming from the collective consciousness, the universe of archetypes, where psychic development is certainly necessary, and that is through hard, creative, subjective work.

To conclude about the archetypes in the collective consciousness, differently explained:

The contents of the collective unconscious are called "archetypes," which means they are original inherited patterns, or forms of thought and experience. They are the ancient, unconscious source of much that we think, do, and say as human beings. They are the "givens" in our psychological makeup, the patterns that shape our perceptions of the world, the furnishings that are present in our psychological home from the moment of birth. We inherit the same forms, but each of us fills in the content by the way we experience our lives. So, the father might be a positive archetype to one person, but it might be filled with negative meaning for another.

Archetypes can be loosely compared to the instincts of animals. For example, birds instinctively know how to build nests and all the birds of a species build the exact same kind of nest. The bird is unaware that it has a special instinct for a particular form of nest building. Nevertheless, it does. Or we could say that dogs, as a species, are psychologically patterned to be loyal and obedient to the archetype of Master. Master is an archetype that is strongly developed in dogs; however, it does not appear to be an archetype that exists in the psyches of giraffes, snails, or buffaloes.

Humans are the same way. Archetypes that exist in humans include Male and Female, God and Satan, Goddess and Witch, Father and Brother, Mother and Sister, Dragon, Lion, Priest, Lover, Hero, Tree, Snake, and so on. We humans automatically inherit the outlines of these archetypes, fill them in with colours and details of our individual experiences, attach meaning to them, and project them into the outer world.

Archetypes are neither good nor bad. They simply are in the collective unconscious. Archetypes are not susceptible to being favoured or tamed by civilization; they live an autonomous existence at the root of our psyches in their original raw and primitive states. To most humans, with their limited awareness of the natural cycles of life and our fear of suffering, certain archetypal qualities seem good and others seem bad. We are attracted to the "positive," creating, nurturing aspects of Mother, for example, but terrified of her "negative" qualities such as her terrible fierce possessiveness, or her power of life and death over us.

Because of our fascination with, and fear of, these unknown qualities within us, when an archetype appears in a dream it can have an especially powerful impact. If a positive or likeable aspect of Lion, Dragon, Mother, Father, Goddess, or God appears in a dream, we may wake up feeling fascinated with the dream - it feels mysterious and meaningful. The meaning behind this kind of dream is often more profound than the meanings behind dreams that have to do with our daily lives. An archetypal dream may have something to do with our life’s journey: our striving for individuation, the unification of our masculine and feminine potential, or our initiation into the sinister and dark realm, our underworld and abyss.

But when an archetype appears in a dream in its negative or most primitive guise, it can disrupt our sleep in terrifying nightmares. Then we want to run and hide. We want to forget the dream as soon as we can, for it feels dangerous and threatening to our well-being. We cannot prevent these contents of the collective unconscious from appearing in our dreams, nor can we domesticate them, but we can diminish their power to interfere with our waking lives by paying attention to what they tell us about ourselves. Accepting the fact that we contain the potential for vile and inhuman behaviour can be a humbling experience that teaches us tolerance, compassion, and empathy; when we know that the archetypal evil lives within ourselves, we are far less apt to point an accusatory finger at someone else

Worthy to know, in his earlier work, Carl Gustav Jung tried to link the archetypes to heredity and regarded them as instinctual. We are born with these patterns which structure our imagination and make it distinctly human. Archetypes are thus very closely linked to our bodies. In his later work after a lot of experiments on his patients, Carl Gustave Jung was convinced that the archetypes are psychoid, that is, "they shape matter (nature) as well as mind (psyche)." In other words, archetypes are elemental forces which play a vital role in the creation of the world and of the human mind itself. The Ancients and Occultists call them “elemental spirits”, the Christians and other Religious Faiths “bad spirits”. How do archetypes operate? Jung found the archetypal patterns and images in every culture and in every time period of human history. They behaved according to the same laws in all cases. He postulated the Collective or Universal Unconscious to account for this fact. We humans do not have separate, personal unconscious minds. We share a single Collective or Universal Unconscious. Mind is rooted in the Unconscious just as a tree is rooted in the ground. Imagine the Collective or Universal Unconscious as a cosmic computer. Our minds are subdirectories of the root directory. If we look in our personal "work areas," we find much material that is unique to our historical experience--could only have happened to us--but it is shaped according to universal patterns. If we humans have the courage to seek the source to which our "account" belongs, we begin to discover ever more impersonal and universal patterns. The directories of the cosmic computer to which we can gain access are filled with the myths of the human species, and so is our Cosmic Tree of Wyrd with its twenty-one Dark Gods or Energies, each having received a particular name.

Autosuggestion and Affirmation

Autosuggestion will not bear its full fruit unless it is formulated with a minimum of effort... The work of suggestion goes on in the subconscious, and has nothing to do with “conscious” effort which presides over the will. We may say that suggestion is a form of the will, but of subconscious will. So-called miracles at Lourdes (France), and elsewhere in the Roman Catholic Church, are nothing else than someone’s deep faith and intent in some archetype as “Mary” that she will intervene in the healing process, which is a kind of autosuggestion and self-affirmation, nothing else. The same with practising faith healers, even if they are honest. Miracles are extremely rare, as most people have doubts about saints and miracles. They say, “let us have a try anyway, one does not know”; but,  they do not believe in what they are really looking for. The suggestion that we want to impress on the unconscious should be repeated again and again. It seems that there is a spiritual art here to be learnt, the art that makes possible association with and participation in things far greater and more extensive than ourselves, an art in which the little self does not, for once, assert its own powers and knowledge. We may desire and will, but we shall do so vainly if we imagine or fear ourselves to be unable. Our imagination and our thoughts must tend in the same direction as our desire and will.

Epilogue from Carl Gustav Jung

Just as some kind of analytical technique is needed to understand a dream, so a knowledge of mythology is needed in order to grasp the meaning of a content deriving from the deeper levels of the psyche....

The collective unconscious -- so far as we can say anything about it at all -- appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious.

We can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, which original chaotic forms were organized through the projection of images. This explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. These influences are nothing but unconscious, introspective perceptions of the activity of the collective unconscious. Just as the constellations were projected into the heavens, similar figures were projected into legends and fairy tales or upon historical persons.

A Ritual for Healing

 Meditation and ways of prayers are universally practiced as a means of healing, and a great many methods are used. The following is a ritual for personal healing; it should be said with a pause between each line to give time for the desired state to be established, and with a few minutes of reflection between each stanza.

1.    Relaxation and calmness

May each and every living cell in my body be relaxed, quiet and at ease.

May each be still and know the peace of the Universal Energy, Infinity.

Each and every living atom in my body has this right.

2.     Clearing of the Channel

I empty myself of all action;

I empty myself of all emotion;

I empty myself of active thought;

I am a poll of perfect quietness, open to the Inflow of Healing.

3.  Visualization

I visualize a lighted yellow (golden) aura, enfolding and filling me gently with its light;

Its bright, yellow vital force, feeding, strengthening and bringing me new life.

3.    Reception

I rest back in the Presence of my “Higher Self” (the very Soul of my being);

Its love prevails my self-love, and its healing power pours in, rebuilding, restoring and transforming me.

4.    Affirmation

“I am the Power, I am the Glory, I am another god.”

May the healing power of my Higher and Deeper Abyssal Self pour through me unimpeded.

May the Energy of Health prevail and bless.

The Religion of the Nazarene Today

By Magister Hagur (SPTO)

There is one true coin for which all things ought to be exchanged, and that is wisdom, like scientific knowledge and successful experimentation today, even more than ever. Science is the new education, producing the bridging between the various aspects of the  human being, coordination and synthesis, and that means an increased expansion of consciousness through the establishment of correct lines of energy. Science as we know it today, through its multiple discoveries, deal with analyze and interpret the laws of thought, because the mind is regarded as primal, the link with one’s “Higher Self”, commonly known as the “soul” dedicated to Satanism.

In the mind ideas are intuited and ideals promulgated, mental concepts or thougthforms are constructed. This is the scientific era of new education, teaching the human being to think from universals to particulars, as well as to undertake analysis. Religion being no longer of our time, the new scientific education will make men and women good citizen by developing the rational aspects of his consciousness and  life, and this is leading to a social consciousness and attitudes. We do not need “religion” for this.

Our scientific age does not spare popes and religions. Christianity should intimidate their Master, the Nazarene, not humanity. As far as we know, did the Nazarene not teach humility and poverty? The weapons of the Christian leaders, whoever they are,  ought  to be those of the Spirit only, but as hypocritical they are, they live far from the Truth they promote, we do experiment today as to child abuse through religious authorities. Theirs, is the science of endocrinology as a material means to produce change as they want it, usually in deficient people.

Modern psychology, with its emphasis on the three aspects of man, “thought, emotional feeling, and the bodily organism”, make a vital contribution, above all in bringing radical changes in our educational systems.

Metaphysically, or occultely, the interpretation  of men in terms of “energy”, and the grasping of the seven types of energy, like it is found in our teaching as presented through the Cosmic Tree of Wyrd, determine a man in opposition to Christianity, and in their eyes we are “evil”. In this way, we like to call ourselves Satanists, living sinisterly. However, whether we call ourselves “sinister, black or dark”, or even white, science today determine humanity, each individually, and its activities, and changes are immediately seen. In our Western world, there is on a very large scale a disinterest in religious faiths.

Indeed, a different civilized attitude is emerging and nearing its consummation, producing our modern world. Someone today is regarded as civilized, not because he or she is a Christian or so, but rather when he or she is awakened to proper mental values. Modern education is the task of the outstanding thinkers, and the responsibility of all governments.

We no longer need the Vatican or Patriarchates, Reformed and Evangelical institutions for proper education based on man-made holy books, dogmas, good and evil; but, modern education is an united scientific action only, promoting free and unbounded human values, as presented by nature itself. Past  history, many based on religion, only revert to the bad old ways wherein each nation glorifies itself at the expense frequently of other nations. The wars, aggressions and thefts which distinguish every great nation without exception, greatly stirred up by religious authorities as the Vatican, are facts and cannot be denied. In the name of God, (and where is he), produced great migrations. Armies marched and fought, and still do in name of religion, in every part of the world; persecuting people which is leading to migration. Welfare workers, no longer friars, nuns and missionaries, go from country to country where the need is felt, serving the habitants and the army as well, salvaging the sick, feeding the hungry and studying local conditions for betterment.

Christianity in Europe first, we owe it mainly to the Emperor Constantine, who adopted Christianity, at that time the Catholic faith, politically successful. Before meeting the Christian leaders of the time, earlier attempts to introduce a new religion failed completely. His success with the Catholic religion came from the weariness and misfortune of the Roman world. The traditional religions of Greece and Rome were suited to those interested in the earthly world, with the sole hope of happiness on earth. Asia, with a longer experience of total despair, had evolved more successfully in the form of other-worldly hopes, whereby Christianity was the most effective in bringing consolation. And, Christianity became the State religion by force, absorbing much from Greece, and transmitted this, along with the Judaic element, to succeeding ages in the West.

As the Catholic Church moved along, we are also aware that there were important parts of planet Earth, which were not subject to Rome, the present Vatican, as India and China more specifically. For the Romans these continents, outside the Roman Empire were considered as more or less barbarian tribes with very strong armies, who might conquer wherever it should be worthwhile to make the effort. Essentially, as well as in idea, the empire in the minds of the Romans, was world-wide. This conception descended to the Catholic Church, in spite of Buddhists, Confucians and later the Islam. Throughout the Middle Ages, after the time of Charlemagne, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Roman Empire were world-wide in idea, although everyone knew as we know today, that they were not so. This conception of one human family, one and sole Catholic religion, one universal Christian culture, and one world-wide State, has haunted the leaders thoughts ever since its approximate realization by Rome.

The part played by Rome in enlarging the area of civilization  was of great importance. Northern Italy, Spain, France and parts of Western Germany, were so-called civilized as a result of forcible conquest without pity by the Roman legions. However, all these regions proved themselves just as capable of a high level of culture as the Romans themselves. In the last days of the Western Empire, Gaul produced men who were at least the equals of their contemporaries.

Christianity in the early days, not in particularly the Christian Faith as we know it today, was preached by Jews to Jews, as a reformed Judaism, today the Messianic Jews. The apostle James, and to a lesser extent the apostle Peter, wished it to remain no more than this. In spite of this, the latecomer Paul, was determined to admit gentiles without requesting circumcision of even submission to Mosaic Law. The contention between the two factions is related in the fifth book of the New Testament, the Acts of the Apostles, from a Pauline point of view. The groups of Christians meeting in private houses, found in many places, were no doubt composed partly of converts from among the Jews, partly of gentiles looking for a new religion. The certainties of Judaism made it attractive in that age of dissolving faiths, but circumcision was an obstacle to the conversion as a whole. The ritual laws in regard to food were also inconvenient. These two obstacles, even if there had been no others, would have made it almost impossible for the Jewish religion to become universal.

Christians, we are told, should not take part in the government of the State, but only of the “divine nation”, the Church. This doctrine was modified after the time of the Emperor Constantine, but something of it survived.  This means, that Catholic Church government developed rapidly after the time of Constantine, and not before. Bishops were popularly elected; and, gradually they acquired considerable power over Christians and others in their own dioceses, but before Constantine there was hardly any form of central government over the whole Church.

The power of bishops in major cities was enhanced by the practice of almsgiving: the offerings of the faithful were administered by the bishop, who could give or withhold charity to the poor. It was all according the bishop’s will. When the State became Christian, the bishops were given judicial and administrative functions. There came also to be a central government, at least in matters of doctrine. The Emperor Constantine was very much annoyed by the quarrel between Catholics and Arians, as he wanted them to be a united party. For the purpose of reparation, he caused the convening of the ecumenical Council of Nicaea, which drew up the Nicene Creed, and so far as the Arian controversy was concerned, determined true or false, grounded or ungrounded, truthful or untruthful, the standard of orthodoxy until today.

The pope, though officially the most important individual in the Roman Church, had no authority over the Church as a whole until a much later period. The gradual growth of papal power is a very moving subject. Luckily, this papal power is very much descending and brought to naught today at least in the West, though the Vatican tries hard to keep their heads above water.  The great church scandals today, certainly do not help.

The question rises now, “Why we cannot be Christians?”

We think, however, that there are two different items which are quite essential to anybody calling himself or herself a follower of the Nazarene. The first, is one of a dogmatic nature -- namely, that you must believe in God and immortality. If you do not believe in those two things, one cannot properly call himself to be a follower of the Nazarene. Then, further than that, as the name implies, you must have some kind of belief about the Nazarene. The Islamite, for instance, also believe in God and in immortality, and yet they would not call themselves followers of the Nazarene. One must have at the very lowest the belief that the Nazarene was, if not divine, at least the best and wisest of philosophers. If you are not going to believe that much about him, you have no right to call yourself a Christian. Therefore, when we say “I am not a Christian”, there are two different things for that: first, why I do not believe in God and in immortality; and, secondly, why I do not think that the Nazarene was the best and wisest of men, although I grant him a very high degree of moral fairness. At the time of Jesus the Nazarene, there were others walking about with the same message of hope, two of them being found in the New Testament, one in the Gospels and the other in the Acts. These people came forth, comforting the people during Roman occupation. One of these enlightened persons, a warrior, even freed Israel from the Romans, and that was not the Nazarene.

 Does God exist?

This is a large and serious question, unanswerable as God is non-existent. Man, in his marvel for nature  thought, “someone must have created it all.” The thinking and inventing man set himself  in a dreaming world, and invented God and added a set of rules. From here, religion is born. From here, the Roman Catholic Church and other world religions have laid their foundation on: “There must be someone higher than ourselves who created it all.” They imagined, and still do, God, young or old, with or without white beard, being a superman, almighty, omniscient, and so on and forth. In the West, they had to introduce the theology of God that way, as the freethinkers adopted the habit of saying that there were such and such arguments which mere reason might urge against the existence of God. God can in no way be proved. And, finding no prove for the existence, Catholics and others had to  consider arguments to prove God’s existence. Yes, there is a prove that God exists, “man himself.” We are all gods with great intellectual capacities, the scientific and conscious bridging of the mind, through the establishment of correct lines of energy. Ideas are intuited and promulgated; mental thougthforms are constructed, organised and developed. “I am the Power, I am the Glory, I am another god.”

Take into consideration man’s mind in its relation to the brain, and from there to the seven centres within him (or her, obviously). The brain is the coordinating factor, with its capacity to direct the activities of the human being through the medium of the nervous system. Modern education is already giving some attention to the nature of the mind and to the laws of thought (not of God). In this, we owe much to psychology and philosophy. The interpretation of men in terms of energy and the grasping of the seven types of energy macrocosmic (the Cosmic Tree of Wyrd) and microcosmic (the seven centres in man), determine a man and his activities, bringing about immediate changes.

A few thoughts regarding the Nazarene

The Jewish Faith marked the Christian Faith, permanently until the fourth century (we already know), when Jewish Christians who had been prominent in the Primitive and Apostolic times, were now reduced to a remnant. According to the discovered Nag Hammadi documents, the Dead Sea scrolls, the Jewish remnant had their own Gospel, “the Gospel according to the Hebrews.” They denied the Virgin birth of Jesus the Nazarene, but others accepted it while denying that he had existed before his adoption by the Holy Spirit. These believers were named Ebionites, meaning “poor”. The Church Father Eusebius believed that the term was very much appropriate because of their “poor and low opinions of the Nazarene.” Origin, a prolific author of the early Church quoted an Ebionite belief that the Nazarene had said, he had been “taken by my mother the Holy Spirit by one of the hairs of my head”.

Another poetic expression ridiculed in Christian literature was a version of the Trinity where the Son is described as “the cup”, the Father as “he who was milked”, and the Spirit as “She who milked him.” This comes from “The Odes of Solomon, a collection of hymns found in 1905. One hymn says about the Nazarene:

“His love for me brought low his greatness... He took my nature so that I might understand him. My face so that I should not turn away from him.”

The last among these hymns depicts the Nazarene as “the Just One hanged by the roadside”, going off his cross to join the dead and saying:

They ran towards me, the dead... And I heard their voices and wrote my name on their heads. So, they are free and they are mine. Alleluia!

At the time when Gnosticism was shaping  their mythologies, there was no fixed canon of the 27 books of the New Testament, and Gnostic teachers were proud to be able to produce, “The Secret Sayings of Jesus”, accounts of what the Nazarene would have said to his disciples between the resurrection and the ascension. The Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Pauline letters and others, and the Apocalypses widely current were not limited to those which in the course of time in the third century became the New Testament. There were also Gnostic texts which the Catholic Church did not recognise as authoritative and which were excluded from the canon. In 1945, in a village in Upper Egypt called Nag Hammadi, a camel driver uncovered a jar containing the remains of thirteen codices. Analysis of the materials  used in the bindings of the codices shows that they had been produced in the area in which they were found. Dates on letters and grain receipts indicate a date in the mid fourth century AD. The works in the collection may have been a library in use by Gnostics, or they may have been copied by monks in upper Egypt who were intending to refute Gnostic claims.

God and Satan

God and Satan do not exist. In the Tanakh, the Jewish Bible, the Old Testament, the name “Satan” (aa satan) is not referred to as such, and is simply translated by “adversary”. Christianity thought to create a “good god”, and a bad (god) adversary “Satan”. We call ourselves Satanists, because our way of living is opposite to Christianity, and their teachings.

Here follow our “21 Satanic Points” in opposition to Christianity:

1.     Respect not pity or weakness, for they are a disease which makes sick the strong.

2.    Test always your strength, for therein lies success.

3.    Seek happiness in victory - but never in peace.

4.    Enjoy a short rest, better than a long.

5.    Come as a reaper, for thus you will sow.

6.    Never love anything so much you cannot see it die.

7.    Build not upon sand but upon rock And build not for today or yesterday but for all time.

8.    Strive ever for more, for conquest is never done.

9.    And die rather than submit.

10.Forge not works of art but swords of death, for therein lies great art.

11.Learn to raise yourself above yourself so you can triumph over all.

12.The blood of the living makes good fertilizer for the seeds of the new.

13.He who stands atop the highest pyramid of skulls can see the furthest.

14.Discard not love but treat it as an imposter, but ever be just.

15.All that is great is built upon sorrow.

16.Strive not only forwards, but upwards for greatness lies in the highest.

17.Come as a fresh strong wind that breaks yet also creates.

18.Let love of life be a goal but let your highest goal be greatness.

19.Nothing is beautiful except man: but most beautiful of all is woman.

20.Reject all illusion and lies, for they hinder the strong.

21.What does not kill, makes stronger.

Satanists together are precisely Satan or Satanas unified, one of the Dark Energies or Gods of the Sphere “Sun” (Sol). Religion has no impact on us, as next to our animal condition, we have also our increasingly intellectual attitude, pressing forward to a  future of widest  possibilities and opportunities. There is no place for religion in our world today, as entirely against science and the scientific age in which we live in. Today, our power is in freely sense, register and record that which is beautiful and true of nature. Today, we are urged to discover and to penetrate the secrets of nature freely. It is this which the scientists are producing today’s. Let us, as Satanists, work to abolish religion. However, at the same time, let us never forget that it is just here our “Sinister Life”, its purpose and its directed intentional destiny. Also know, that we as “destroyers” are not really cruel or undesirable, as we destroy worn out mentalities, to bring in the new mentality without and freed from religion. There are two kinds of destruction: that which is meted out by humans beings with no understanding through wars, and who act blindly and ignorantly; and, ours in “destruction and restoration”. There is much destruction permitted by the Dark Gods (Energies) of the Cosmic Tree of Wyrd, in other words much “evil” turned into the good and for the welfare of mankind. The end is seen from the beginning, and the consciousness ripe enough in sinister experiences to relinquish  the form because of the sensed benefits to be gained.
