Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments

 Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments


The stuff I made sure, and I mean very sure that it got into the book The Founding Of The Satanic Temple, was apparently deemed too obscene for selling and distribution which led to it being temporarily taken down. It just makes me realize how insane simple words are, they’re that powerful. I’ve always known that words hold a lot of weight (I am a writer after all), but never expected to be part of the reason dealing with such dark and taboo topics (eugenics, prez stuff, pretty much most of the darkest stuff in that book i made sure got in there) and having it lead to Amazon trying to refuse to sell it over being too “obscene”.
But, the fact that some simple words got the same sort of outcry that a swastika in public would receive is insane to me— the only difference is, is that the swastika is a symbol which evokes a multitude of emotional reactions, which on some level can be indescribable with words… although, the German language is usually the best bet to coming even close to conveying such things, just ask Nietzsche. I still think symbols convey more power and meaning than words— they say a picture is worth a thousand words, I beg to dream and differ, a picture worth only a thousand words isn’t doing its intention, however on another angle, it might be better when images are so powerful it leaves people speechless; a thousand words is simultaneously an infinite too small and a thousand too many.
  1. Let’s actually turn this into a social/mental experiment. I am going to put some images and symbols below and you, dear whoever it is reading this, should contact me and describe in as much detail as you can what mental processes were evoked from each one.
  2. this^ is my favorite piece of art btw, random sidenote. 
    This isn’t exclusive to still-images and symbols alone, if you ever have had the time to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, you more than likely know that feeling of indescribable existentialist dread in a very Nietzschean sense which can be evoked from it. That isn’t even by the film alone, the music chosen by Stanley Kubrick seems very much an intentional move, designed to invoke this feeling in people. The use of sounds to create emotional/mental response isn’t new, it’s why the sub-bass frequencies used in the Paranormal Activity franchise are so effective at inducing unease within the viewer. I remember having some very occult conversations with numerous people on a few occasions, where we discussed the idea of simultaneously playing sub-bass frequencies as well as binaural beats (which are typically erotically stimulating sounds) and seeing the (possible) observable provocations made by the pairing of the two. Of course this is still a hypothetical, but i would like to study and experiment with the concept to find some results, then move on to do the same through combining other mentally stimulating noises and seeing their effects. I, myself probably being the initial test-dummy in each one, and then probably make some sort of short film with most all the things written here and the intention to provoke emotional responses of any kind.
  3. The behavior and processes of humans is quite interesting. That’s really where this led to as its point with the majority of what is written here— also to tell you dear reader to BUY DA BOOK!! and to just talk about my thoughts on learning of the trouble I made at/with Amazon for things I knew to be integral to the book when we were making it laast year. Thanks for reading, and to anyone who messages me about the images like I requested, I will add each response below. -C.B.

Hebrew, Not Christian

Hebrew, Not Christian (  לִוְיָתָן is  Hebrew for Leviathan) The word Satan in specific means a human adversary humans are fleshy and carnal animals, like any other. naturally, given that and the definition of the word Satan being a human adversary, Satanist would mean one that is adversarial to that which would deny the innate carnal and animalistic instincts humans have So, Satan coming from the Hebrew word for adversary, it’s not any one specific character. Satanism by it’s codification and definition of the word Satan stems from the idea of that adversary. Satanism is adversarial in that it promotes the life enriching things that have traditionally been given the devil’s name by both much of society and religious institutions. Greed, lust, nonconformity, rational self interest, humor, passion for living, atheism, being selective about who to love (or hate), self preservation, lex talionis/silver rule, third sides and uncomfortable alternatives… The Hebrew  SATANIC VERSES: The Adver

The Bottom Feeders Frenzy

  The Bottom-Feeders Frenzy [ 1 ] By Claudia Berdella This was the real secret. Annihilation. Nothing else. A chemical pulse that dissolved finally in violet light. No stories. Now we would always be frightened.   - Joseph Kanon, Los Alamos [ 2 ] As the Apex predator with zero competition or predatory threats to challenge, the human species is as a result a naturally destructive and hostile towards one another. Humans likely would not be able to survive if we stopped preying upon our own [ 3 ] .  Ever-lasting peace is unnatural . Humans are cannibalistic [ 4 ] in almost every sense of the word , however most do not like to even consider entertaining the notion of legitimately consuming another, though an argument can be made that the Catholics are the most prevalent practitioners of this taboo practice through their pseudo-enactment by eating the metaphorical body and blood of Christ at communion (and the Bible is quite pro-cannibalism at the core). People are cannibalistic in a more
