ONA, 1991eh.
The purpose of this MS is to explain traditional Satanism in relation
to "race" since it is an unfortunate fact that most non-Initiates of this
particular Left Hand Path reveal a total lack of understanding of the topic,
and see the use of a particular tactic by traditional Satanists as a part
of the Satanist ‘world-view’.
The fundamental strategic (or ‘long-term’) aim of Satanism is to elevate the consciousness of all individuals [Regardless of race] to at least what is now described by ‘Adept consciousness’: i.e. to liberate the individual, internally and externally, and so create a new type of human being - someone who has achieved the next stage of our evolutionary development. The way of traditional Satanism - its rituals, techniques, ordeals and methods - is a means to enable the development of this liberation within the individual. However, this way requires commitment and a self-effort over many years. Further, traditional Satanists do not believe that the way itself can be made any easier - that is, there are no ‘short-cuts’ to achieving real Adeptship and beyond. It is not a question of someone accepting a dogma, of being ‘converted’ to a religion, or of simply performing magickal rites. It is a complete change of one's way of living, a total rejection of the many presently existing structures and forms which stifle our potential and which hold individuals in thrall, often unconsciously. In brief, Satanism is revolutionary. Because of this, the achievement of the ultimate Satanic goal or aim will take a long time - many centuries, if not millennia. Satanists are both pragmatic and rational: they have studied the processes of evolutionary change as these relate to individuals and have devised means to aid the achievement of the ultimate goal. They know the realities which pertain, and their assessments of means or tactics are practical. They eschew the mystifications of most of those Involved in Occultism just as they are not dreamy idealists who trust in some ‘ineffable’ law or supra-personal entity/Being to do their work for them. They are practical, calculating and if necessary ruthless. The reality is that Aeonic energies - i.e. that ‘force’ which creates an evolutionary development of consciousness - are presenced, on Earth, via a specific aeonic civilization. That is, that such evolutionary change is achieved by means of such a civilization. At any one Aeonic period (which lasts from between one to two millennia) only one such civilization exists and is creating large-scale evolutionary change. When that civilization declines (when the Aeonic energies of the particular Aeon are waning) there is presenced another type of Aeonic energy, which thereafter gives rise to another aeonic civilization, and thus further changes. Presently, the civilization is the ‘Western’ or Faustian one, and this civilization, like all aeonic civilizations, should end in Imperium. This Imperium is part of the evolutionary process of change. Such change occurs mostly by the majority within that civilization being motivated (unconsciously) by the ethos or Destiny of that civilization - i.e. they create change without being consciously aware of what they are doing. A few individuals know what is actually occurring - i.e. they have an understanding and insight greater than the majority. These few are the genuine Initiates of esoteric traditions. This knowledge gives them a certain power - for they can use it to produce changes according to their desires/aims. In effect, they are the secret guardians of evolutionary change. Hitherto, aeonic change has been natural - a process of organic growth. With each aeonic civilization, there has been a slow evolutionary change toward greater consciousness and thus individual growth. But this change is very slow, and only a minority have achieved any real progress in terms of achieving the potential inherent in us all as a species. Genuine esoteric traditions are a means of making this change more widely available, of consciously altering, speeding-up, the natural process of evolution. This process of change, is not, however, linear it is often of the "two steps forward, one (sometimes two) steps back". And, furthermore, it is finely balanced-it can easily turn into a regression. Satanism understands the archetypal symbol of ‘Satan’ as the archetype for positive evolutionary change. However, the present aeonic civilization, the Faustian or Promethean one (or, esoterically, the Satanic one) has suffered a distortion of its ethos or Destiny. In the simple sense, the civilization has become ill and a consequence of this is that its Imperium is unlikely - that is, the evolutionary change which that Imperium would have provoked is unlikely to occur. One of the most significant changes caused by the Imperium would have been the colonization of outer Space and thus the creation of entirely new societal structures. The sickness of the civilization may be described, in simple terms, as a return to a restrictive dogmatic view of the world - and one which has undermined the Destiny of the civilization. One facet of this dogma is the Nazarene religion and those social and political forms which derive from it. Again expressed simply, this sickness undermines the vitality of the peoples of the civilization - turns them away from external achievements of an Imperium type, such as exploration and conquest of new environments, and instead towards themselves. The outer world is forsaken for the problems of the inner. Traditional Satanism regards the achievement of a Promethean Imperium as a step toward achieving the ultimate Satanic goal. After that Imperium, not one but many other civilizations would have arisen due to the expansion beyond the confines of the Earth. The ultimate goal would have perhaps been realizable within a millennia. To achieve Imperium, there has to be within the majority of the peoples of the civilization, a sense of Destiny - they are vitalized by that Destiny. At this stage of our evolutionary development, the majority are still in thrall to archetypal forms - they are still motivated unconsciously, still not totally aware. That is, they are still not whole, unique, individuals. They are part of the wyrd of the Aeon and thus the Destiny of the civilization. This is the reality. Imperium cannot be created by words - by rationally convincing others; by simply believing in it. It is created by numinous action among the majority - by that majority being led by a charismatic minority, and in by individuals of charisma who believe they have a Destiny. In effect, these charismatic individuals embody the Destiny of the civilization itself. They embody the unconscious hopes and aspirations of the majority. At this stage of evolutionary development, this Destiny must and can only be in its origins a racial one: derived from a sense of superiority, an instinct. It cannot be derived from abstract ideas - they are dead, and while they may sway a few, they can never persuade the majority and enable that majority to excel and so create something far beyond themselves. This is the practical Satanic assessment. To create Imperium - which of necessity means countering the sickness of the civilization - it is necessary to give practical form to certain powerful instincts. It means using the peoples of the civilization as instruments for Aeonic change. It means returning them to what would have been the natural outcome of the civilization had not the majority of them fallen prey to the sickness. In brief, it means a resurgence of a sense of racial superiority within Europeans - and the creation of societies which embody this belief. It means racial separation in order to give a sense of Destiny and thus vitalize the majority. This, however, is a tactic from the Satanic point of view - a means to achieve Satanic goals, via the Faustian/Western/Promethean/Satanic civilization. At this moment in time, only this civilization with its technology, is capable of achieving the goal of colonization of outer Space - this technology has to be vitalized by a sense of exploration among the majority. Thus, Satanism, as part of its sinister strategy, may encourage those forms/beliefs/groups and so on which express this type of Imperium. For instance, present-day ‘extreme Right Wing movements’. In this, Satanists are being sinister - they are not expressing or supporting such views, as ‘racism’ for instance, because they believe them, but because they know those views may or will aid their Satanic goals, in particular by countering the Nazarene sickness of spirit. Thus, one thrust of Satanic action, in the real world that is, of what Satanic Initiates do to presence the dark forces - at this present time is to aid the creation of such an Imperium and create world-wide conditions which would enable its aims to be fulfilled (e.g. in terms of strategic alliances with other countries not part of the Imperium). This Imperium, however, will not be a purely aggressive one which seeks the destruction of other, non-European, races. Rather, it would seek - once its own structures were secure to encourage other races to exist and flourish within their own nations, and then ultimately, a Federation of such nations (all of whom respected each other) to enhance the goal of Space exploration. That is, the world would be re-organized on the basis of strong, independent racial States - there might, for instance, be the creation of a Black America, occupying part of what is now the USA. This re-organization is based on the realities which exist in the world now. It is a solution to the problems which if they are not solved in this way will ultimately lead to a severe evolutionary down-turn. Hence, another thrust of Satanic action, in the real world at this present time is to aid the creation of such States based on race - eg. they may be support for ‘Black Muslims’ who desire a separate nation in the USA and elsewhere. This outline of global Satanic strategy is of necessity brief and somewhat oversimplified. But it should enable the tactics that are sometimes used to be understood in context. Of necessity, these tactics are sinister - they may provoke or cause strife; possibly violence; perhaps death; sometimes ‘law-breaking’. Often, the tactics are revolutionary. But they are all means, to achieve Satanic goals, and Satanists using them - or influencing others to use them - know what they are doing. They understand the strategy, the ultimate goal, and by so acting in the real world they are being Satanic. Genuine Satanism means this change in the real world; it means Satanists actually acting to achieve things. Perhaps getting blood on their hands either directly or indirectly. Pseudo-Satanism means fantasy: role-playing; taking up ‘ethical’ positions one actually believes in. Genuine Satanists are a-moral. Satanism accepts the reality as it is - and then uses that reality to re-structure it, to change it, in accord with its sinister aim. The reality of race, of instinct, is as it is - it can be used to achieve things. Others impose projections onto the world - they wish and need to believe that things are other than they are: that individuals are other than they are. They are hopelessly idealistic, unbloodied by the realities of the world. In short, they do not understand power. Satanists, on the contrary, know how it really is in the real world. Thus, racism - whether White, Black or whatever - is a means, a tactic used by Satanists to achieve first a European Imperium and then what is beyond that Imperium - a Federation of strong, independent countries whose goal is to continue the Space colonization that the Imperium began. Thereafter, there is a new Aeon, in reality, and a multitude of new aeonic civilizations - and thus the achievement of the ultimate Satanic goal. Of course, all this means struggle, conflict, wars, deaths, upheavals, over decades and centuries. That is, the presencing of the dark forces to achieve something evolutionary. The reality behind these tactics is Aeonics - which is a means of rationally
understanding the seemingly complex processes of change from Aeons to civilizations
to societies and thus to individuals. Aeonics is an esoteric knowledge,
and one which is increasing as new insights are gained.
