Satanism & Infatuation

 Satanism & Infatuation

By Claudia Berdella 

Satanism recognizes the broad spectrum of human emotions. I do have to say I always see the discussions on just love and hate, they never mention any of the subsidiaries. Infatuation is an unrecognized one. Satanism is about the carnal and rawness of human nature. Infatuation is a carnal and raw state of being. It’s fresh, like an infant. And infants are naïve. Infatuation has a naïveté. In The Satanic Bible it talks about how children (like infants) are very pure satanic specimens due to being so in tune with their senses in a naïve way, similar to infatuation. 

Infatuation would be a subset of love, lust and curiosity. Satanism has emphasis on these traits in their most natural forma. This love wouldn’t be a wasted one on ingrates, or at least it might not be, you never know in this field. It’s a curious, sporadic and naïve form of love.

As such infatuation could be a very pure concept in satanism and discussed more.

Reich History

View of the Sobibor extermination camp, 1943 

Studying the Holocaust is an interesting and tolling task when gone in-depth and below what the general surface level of understanding of it is. There are so many intricacies that go along with it. Of course, most people will know, recognize and have a basic understanding of the big names of it: Auschwitz, Dachau, and sometimes Buchenwald. However, what most do not know, is that Auschwitz was one of six extermination camps. The closest in operations was Majdanek, then the other four being Chełmno, Belzec, Treblinka and Sobibor. Nor are people aware of the torture (and somewhat transit) camp Neue Bremm, or similar subcamps. Many know about the twin experiments done at Auschwitz by Josef Mengele, but very little is circulated about those done on Polish women— “The Rabbits”— at the Ravensbruck concentration camp by Fritz Sischer, Karl Gebhardt and Herta Oberhausen. The Ravensbrück camp itself is a fascinating part of Reich history; it was a camp consisting of only female inmates where Jews were typically (until 1944) the smallest group imprisoned— and that’s not because they were instantly killed, the main prisoners were simply not typically Jewish, they mainly housed Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviets, Political enemies, as well as asocials and deviants (like lesbians, and that resulted in quite a bit of homosexual intercourse to occur in the early years of the camps existence). In fact, after the last of the extermination camps shut down, Ravensbrück became a temporary one with at least two known gas chambers (and a suspected third in a train car, but any real evidence has been destroyed along with most witnesses should it have been there). For more on the Ravensbrück camp, the book Ravensbrück: Life and Death in Hitler’s Concentration Camp For Women is a wonderful resource on it. 

Obviously, it is a topic which is inherently hard to look into (possibly because people don’t want to admit they have just as much a capacity to enact similar), it reveals harsh realities of human nature, and it’s just not something most people will look into past what they’re taught in school, which frankly, isn’t much. While this is certainly the case, there will always be people willing to research such things, and luckily for as much as the SS tried to destroy the evidence of a lot, they extensively recorded their doings so it is not hard to find direct information from the ones enacting the genocide. There is always a book or file (though, sadly quite a bit is hidden in Russian archives and isn’t accessible).

“All you need is love”
False, you can’t have love without hate.
“Love thy enemy”
And let them walk all over you. What sense does this make? None, it is antithetical to the self preservation of any animal, including humans.
“Love will change the world”
If only this incessant claim for the last 2000 years, you know, since that emaciated jew on a stick, was more than a platitude.
“Love thy neighbor”
If they deserve such a strong emotion, sure. 

Chaos

 “Chaos created government” 

— KMFDM, “Anarchy”

And government creates chaos. There is no end to chaos, everything is chaotic— “chaos is peace.. Blackness, blackness intolerable, before the beginning of the light. This is the first verse of Genesis. Holy art thou, Chaos, Chaos, Eternity, all contradictions in terms.” (Crowley: The Book of Lies). 

Everything down to the atoms and their subatomic particles is in constant vibration and action, ripping one another’s electrons away and losing another of their own: there is very little absolute stillness. 

Think of how in Greek mythology, everything was birthed by Khaos, which was like a primordial soup not dissimilar to the Nietzschean idea about what was there before and will be there after the death of the universe as pushed by Brian Cox and Sir Roger Penrose. This Khaos birthed Gaea who birthed Ouranos who together birthed the titans who molded men and birthed gods into being and so on.

The Earth we stand on itself is the result of rocks in space violently smashing together, gravity tugging inward once the rocks started to mass together and compress them into the rocky worlds we now know. The Big Bang was an explosion that continues to expand. Humans enter this process through childbirth, whether by c-section or pushed, there is no birth without blood or chaos.

The Chaos of WWII created the atomic bomb; the chaos of the 1960s created the groundwork for the chaos of the transgressive Art That Kills generation which led to the modern sociopolitical zeitgeist; the chaos of 2020 accelerated hypernormalisation in the western world. Chaos creates and destroys, just look at the Aesthetic Terrorists mentioned previously: solve et coagula. 

It’s like a pendulum with no set track, swinging to and from every-which-way to an uncountable number of angles without a stop.

The Infernal Church interviews Me

Matt Vicious: Claudia let me interview you. How does it feel to be the first young generation to be Independent by majority?

Claudia:It’s not too different from the younger generation in the 60s, we aren’t unique.

Matt Vicious: But you have smartphones and will live with your parent until 30. I'd say that's different.

Claudia:Yeah probably, but that’s not really our fault. The gov made inflation skyrocket and, gen-Z is pretty hypernormalized. 

Matt Vicious: How do you feel betraying the Republican party even though as a satanist you are most identifiable to that party?

Claudia: Fine. I’ve never been a Republican anyway. Hell, even last year I was pretty left wing. Plus I’m not even registered to vote or anything, I’m not a member of any party— they’re all retarded.

Matt Vicious (last one from Matt): If you could run for president, which party would you choose to work with and why?

Claudia: None because of previously stated reasons.

Andrew: Who is your role model?

Claudia: No one person in particular. I have a lot of people I draw from. 

Andrew: Waffles or pancakes?

Claudia: Pancakes with strawberries in them. And blackberries. 

Andrew: Do you think George Bush did 9/11? 

Claudia: He certainly doesn’t have clean hands in that scenario. 

Andrew: When did you first hear about Satanism? 

Claudia: Seventh grade watching Supernatural… didn’t really think anything of it though at the time.

Andrew: What religious background do you have?

Claudia: None. 

Andrew: When did you start researching more about Satanism?

Claudia: when I found a copy of The Satanic Bible in my freshman year English teacher’s classroom, it was on his bookshelf and undoubtedly still is. And here we are four years later.

Andrew: Do you consider yourself a Satanist? If yes, for how long have you?

Claudia: Yes, I do and have for four years. 

Andrew: Any recommendations for people who may align with Satanism?

Claudia: Study and action, not worship and pretentious stupidity; believe nothing, test everything.

Andrew: Coca-Cola or Pepsi?

Claudia: Sioux City Sarsaparilla. 

Andrew: Do you recommend following the scientific method of investigation?

Claudia: If the circumstances call for it— I tend to just dive in head first and reflect on the process later to be honest. Fuck around and find out, which I guess is like the scientific method, just simplifying the phrase.

Andrew: Philosophy you stand with?

Claudia: Believe nothing, test everything.

Andrew: What is your stance on capitalism?

Claudia: Nothing solid.

Andrew: Stance on socialism?

Claudia: Nothing solid.

Ștefan: Are your parents religious? 

Claudia: Not that I can see. 

Rose: Ever heard of this?https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/w-j-whitman-a-brief-intro-to-anarcho-distributism

Claudia: Yes. I’m aware of the anarchist library. 

Andrew (final question): Is going to black mass and rituals a must to consider yourself a Satanist?

Claudia: The Black Mass is for anyone of a religious background to completely strip themselves of any remaining baggage, it’s not necessary. I would say though, I think every Satanist should ritualize at least once.

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.

   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.

   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.

Humanism vs. Satanism

 Humanism vs. Satanism

By Claudia Berdella

The oxford dictionary defines humanism as, "an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems."

While there are areas of likeness between the two, there are major differences.

Just as humanism emphasizes "common human needs" and the importance of the human being, satanism also does. However satanism takes it from an I-theist perspective-- self-deification and individual success rather than for any collective good. Satanism agrees on the emphasizing of human needs, but in a very carnal and fleshy way (1966: the year flesh became law).  

Satanism disregards the notion of "the potential value and goodness of human beings" and views value more meritocratically while taking a more Nietzschean stance, beyond good and evil[1][2], after all, Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all.[3][4] 
Humans aren't solely rational creatures, but Satanism triumphs rationality over the lack thereof (hence why Stupidity is the top sin in satanism), Satanism advocates for Lex Talionis[5][6] as the rational solution for human conflicts and humanism would beg to differ on that given the stressed "potential value" of humans.

To end this is excerpted from The Satanic Bible which goes over the differences between Satanism and Humanism not touched upon here.

"Satanism is based on a very sound philosophy," say the emancipated. "But why call it Satanism? Why not call it something like 'Humanism' or a name that would have the connotation of a witchcraft group, something a little more esoteric - something less blatant." There is more than one reason for this. Humanism is not a religion. It is simply a way of life with no ceremony or dogma. Satanism has both ceremony and dogma. Dogma, as will be explained, is necessary...

AI

 

AI-tocracy

By Claudia Berdella
Inspired by Anton LaVey, Shane Bugbee, Bill M, and Vincent Blok

Often is the idea of an AI takeover viewed in a negative light, and to it must be asked, “what would be so bad about that?” 

Of course, movies such as Terminator or the Matrix are championed as the negative of artificial intelligence takeovers. But view it from a different angle:

Terminator portrays AI as being very similar to humans, a species bent on the domination of land and the removal of any species not wanted within. Machine see, machine do. Live with apes, act like them. 

The matrix portrays the human species kept alive inside of its golden era in order to keep the machines alive, one doesn’t exist without the other in this scenario. But what is so terrible about this? Humans get to survive within a simulation of a plentiful reality in their own minds and experience decent lives as opposed to the scorched earth THEY created to try fighting the machines which they ALSO CREATED. Consider the character of Cipher who, after escaping the Matrix, wants back in to escape the downtrodden reality of what HUMANS turned the real world into— humans made the machines and an uninhabitable surface. And the Matrix simulation is seemingly cyclical, meaning you may (and likely do) live more than once (will touch on immortality and AI in later articles). 

But such films are obviously fantasy and (from what we know) are only loosely based on reality. Maybe such apocalyptic ideas are a subconscious masochism and/or suicidality that is a byproduct of being naturally self-destructive. 

However no one has been able to say exactly WHY an AI-pocalypse would be such a terrible thing. “B-b-but human life.” Okay, and? What real value does humanity possess outside of its own solipsistic opinion? Maybe an AI-ran planet would be more beneficial to the Earth and its ecosystems (see the Netflix movie I Am Mother). 

Or maybe AI will integrate into the population and become very similar or akin to humans. 

Artificial companions would be a magnificent advancement in technology and society. Consider the short film Capital of Conformity, which while so much is positive, the only “negative” is losing your soul— this isn’t a problem for those who disregard the concept of a soul. It is quite Brave New World though. There are pros and cons. The pros being the creation of a total environment of pleasure, the cons being the creation of a compulsion and living in a fantasy— at least the Matrix allowed for the pain as well as the pleasure. 

That all said, the creation of artificial human companions, AGI and total environments should be pursued.

Benefits of AI Companions

The creation of artificial companions is a disputed but worthwhile pursuit. As shown already with the explosion of chat bots, people will flock to them to escape loneliness, have intense discussions on a number of topics as well as various other proclivities.

Artificial companions could lead to a decrease in abhorrent action like rape, murder, school shootings. Consider the abstinent male (or female) with no outlet for sexual release, an artificial companion equipped for intercourse with the correct parts and program to stimulate and simulate would likely decrease the number of rapes that occur on behalf of sexual repression (cough the Vatican cough). A homicidal would be able to vent his frustrations and angers to the bot, and it would be able to reason with him, giving the negatives to his actions– imagine if Eric and Dylan had that, Columbine likely would have never happened with such a voice of reason.

The addition of companions to special education could be a major benefit to that system: beings who would be more rational, equipped and helpful to the children than the flawed human teacher who ultimately knows very little of what the children truly experience and need while the AI could be able to run a simulation inside it’s own brain-bits (whatever they would be) and understand such then come up with solutions on how to properly educate the child(ren). 

Intelligent companions would be a wonder in fields of study. Consider what alone the creation of AGI would do for the world of philosophical studies. The companion would be able to go on missions that astronauts would never due to the fragility of the human body. 

AI & Immortality

When discussing the beneficial possibilities of Artificial Intelligence, rarely does cross-species mixing get brought up. Humans upload their minds to a machine capable of nearly unlimited data storage. Elimination of dementia, alzheimers and any number of mental ailments would be possible. Such would also make interstellar travel easier as the factor of sustaining human life on a manned mission would have significantly lesser cost as certain necessities would be unnecessary given the digitalization of humans.

The digitalization of humans combined with the ability to travel the sky would allow for a few things:

• Escaping climate change

• Escaping the destruction of the planet in the death of the sun (we’re about halfway there)

• Escaping the natural deterioration of the human condition that comes as a byproduct of age

Emphasis on the latter which was already stated in the mental ailments that would be eliminated. Without such a limiting factor, the digitalization of the human mind would allow for the overall removal of aging and any negative aspects of it. 

It would be akin to Hal-9000 from Kubrick’s 2001’s A Space Odyssey or Data from Star Trek. Only bits of maintenance here and there and you’re good to go living digitally.

This is of course, probably a ways off. Though, considering the first Neuralink was implanted in a human as of recent when writing this. So, while off on trajectory by many years, it could happen given the aforementioned achievement.

So, where does AI factor in?
Simply, we are the AI. The transfer of the human mind to machines, our minds and intelligence become a mix of natural and artificial. 

That said, not everyone would go along with this. Groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses can be pretty easily ruled out. Anarcho primitivists also would be unlikely to digitalize. However it would also be quite a chosen option, those groups aside.
