Evil, the Satanic Ideal

Within many of the texts, rituals and invocations that are used in the Satanic tradition, Satan is praised as the 'Lord of Evil' and evil seems to be portrayed as something 'good'. In order to understand this exaltation of 'evil' we need to first determine what it is that we, within the dark tradition, mean by the word 'evil' when the term is used as a positive denomination.

As Satanists and Chaosophists, we place ourselves above and beyond all moral illusions and constrained ethical values that the ruling, demiurgic/archonic world order uses in order to enslave and keep the subhuman cattle in check. Thus words like good and evil actually have no static meaning for us and must be understood as totally relative terms that only can express subjective values.

But we also understand that while we ourselves view the meanings most often associated with these words as illusory and as the mental programming of enslavement, there are still billions of people that let their empty lives become controlled by the significance they have been brainwashed to attribute to these words.

Because of this we choose, within certain contexts, to align ourselves with and pay tribute to 'that which is evil' in order to show and make clear our stance as the adversaries and opposers to, and accusers of, the ruling status quo and that which is deemed good and pure by the enslavers.

All that which the archonic world rulers have established as the ideal of the 'highest good' is, in truth, that which the pneumatic elect of Satan-Lucifer understand as being anti-evolutionary and enslaving. For example, slave mentality and morality, ignorance of the harsh truth, weakness of spirit and mind, passivity, masochism, apathy, self denial and weak-willed conformity are all attributes deemed attractive and good by the followers of the right hand path. This 'dextral path of goodness' can therefore only reinforce the cosmic enslavement of the spiritless servants of the chief archon.

Thus Satan, as the Lord of Evil, represents all that is above and beyond the moral illusions and limitations attached to the words good and goodness. Hence, He becomes the Champion of the Evil that opposes the oppressive and weakening ideals that are proclaimed by world rulers. When the ideals of the good lead to the repression of the inner acausal potential of the elect and have as their function to imprison the Black Flame and the wild beast within, the Principle of Evil becomes the ideal of the Promethean.

It is because of all the above stated ideas that the Satanist always relates to the Dark Gods and principal adversaries of all pro-cosmic religions. For these Dark Gods most often represent the 'Evil Impulse' to go against the accepted moral values, which have as their aim to enslave and control the great majority of gullible and easily controlled lambs within the society in which these 'good values' are established.

The sinister (left) way is thus called the Path of Evil that leads the strong of spirit to the true highest good, which is the total freedom beyond all restrictions.
