On That Note

On That Note

By Claudia Berdella

Morals, laws and decalogues are all the creation of humans. However, the majority of people view these things as inherent pillars of human society which are irreversible. This viewpoint may be for the best given the amount one may hear from certain demographics which are more superstitiously inclined which states that if one didn’t have these laws in place that people would be raping, killing and pillaging one another to no end. What this statement really says is that of projecting what that person would probably do if they felt they could get away with it. On another hand, it is also a good thing for the iconoclasts of the world to challenge those perspectives of objective morality and stagnation. 

An Unhealthy Relationship

An Unhealthy Relationship 

By Claudia Berdella

As an animal, humans really neglect that fact. Humans destroy their own, not really seeing that once all the other species go, we’re next if we don’t nuke ourselves into oblivion before reaching that point. 

In nature, there is a healthy relationship in environments between predators and prey. When the predators grow too large in population and overrun the prey, they are forced to move or starve as a result of destroying their food supply; when there are too few predators, the prey has a population increase which can disrupt the nature around them, depleting their food supplies… It’s a self-perpetuating system of balance which keeps things running. 

Humans dramatically and to a catastrophic extent break this cycle. We move in, remove and obliterate the environment and species within. The only predatory animal which contests humanity, is itself.

The Way It Is

 

The Way It Is

By Claudia Berdella

Barbarism is the way of humanity. Civilization as a creation of human hand, is barbaric— civilizations will always conquer others for territory, resources, retaliation, economic or political purposes. Such is how any groups of people go about things all in the past, present and future. 

To change from this way is unlikely to be achievable— it’s quite doubtful humans could survive if they quit preying upon one another. The only possible route would be to digitally upload our consciousness to a system which is programmed to prohibit man’s more vicious and violent tendencies; in essence, it would be removing a piece of human nature, an integral one.

That then comes up with the question of: if we start removing parts of our natural inclinations how human would we be? Could humans truly survive if their brutal sides get removed? It’s unlikely altogether as well as over-idealistic and ludicrously utopian. 

Now, that is not to negate more transhumanist concepts of bettering the species through merging it with technology, physically. In fact those types of endeavors would likely be extremely beneficial to people. However, still being an animal, these advancements would be nothing more than more shiny tools. 

What could help lessen the viciousness of humans? Well, there’s an interesting therapeutic tool known as psychodrama. Psychodrama is essentially a ceremonial release of emotion; if people spent more time sticking needles into dolls, screaming into pillows or simply having a good orgasm it is likely that a lot more productive things would happen— after all, one must take care of themselves first; “The man who cannot value himself cannot value anyone else.”— Ayn Rand. But this is not to say it would rid society of the less popular inclinations that humans have: murder would still occur, rape would still take place, children would still be abused… Such things are present in any group of people and begrudgingly quite impossible to entirely remove. The issue is, not everyone can do such things that would be beneficial to themselves in physical and emotional ways due to the prevalence and continued perpetuation of sterile and decadent philosophies that repress and attack human nature due to the faith (lack of thinking) in spiritual pipe dreams and hypocritical self-deception. As an example of this, the Catholic Church has done this guilt trip on instinct so masterfully for centuries… oh and look what it did to the children. 

There is nothing healthy about such extreme repression of such inherently there things. Take the aforementioned Catholic Church again as an example: due to their carnally repressive rules, laws and decalogues, has created an untold number of priests and clergy who enact their releases onto vulnerable children. If these “holy men” were simply able to have a good orgasm without any stigma attached to it of some illusory sin he is committing, it is likely that less would need to be moved around and hidden after being exposed for his pedophilic activities, as they would be decreased by the allowance of exercising their instincts… although, on the other hand a good orgasm might kill someone so repressed. 

In spite of all these ideals presented as means to divert the barbaric nature of humans, they will probably never fully work. Instinctive drift is not mutually exclusive: humans also experience it despite our attempts at self-domestication. I end this with the same conclusion I came to when writing The Bottom Feeders’ Frenzy: the only way to truly escape the more destructive aspects of our nature, is to go extinct. 

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.

End of interview.

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 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...
