The Demonic Bible by Magus Tsirk Susej, Antichrist Servant & Disciple of the Dark Lord As revealed to him by his Unholy Guardian Demon, the spirit Azael. Preface If power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, then the omnipotent creator of heaven and earth must be the most evil son-of-a-bitch who ever lived. Non-Christians, we are told, are damned to hell because they have not accepted Christ as their personal savior. Non-Catholics, we are told, are damned to hell because they have rejected God’s Holy Church. And Catholics, we are told, are damned to hell for bowing down to and worshipping graven images. The irony of organized religious thought is the damnation of all, regardless of belief or quality of life. It has often been said by scholars that devils are "fallen" gods, or deities men no longer worship. But then, are not gods simply devils men choose to worship? Could it be that Yahweh and Allah are simply more "politically correct" devils than Astaroth and Beelzebub? The followers of every religion have been condemned by others as "devil-worshippers" at some time or another. In the "tolerant" social climate of today, the Christian still condemns the Jew, the Jew still condemns the Muslim, and the Muslim still condemns the Christian. Each is willing to kill and commit heinous crimes in the name of his "god". Would it not be more honest for man to admit that he is a worshipper of devils and a believer in fairy tales? It is with these thoughts in mind that the Demonic Bible is written. Stop now at the horror of these words and cower in fear for your immortal soul, or read on and discover true and undefiled wisdom... for enlightenment speaks to the brave. The Magical Art In the course of a man’s life, there are moments of clarity and there are moments of darkness. At his mental peak, he experiences great clarity of thought and profound realization. And at his low, he experiences depression, anger, or melancholy. Drugs, chemicals, foods and lifestyle changes may effect his thought processes in various ways. Disregarding for the moment the objective existence of spirits or demons, ritual magic is a way to control the mind. Without the use of drugs or chemicals, the magician controls directly his level of conscious awareness. He experiences "being awake" mentally, a state which the mundane only experience after large amounts of coffee or other stimulants. The spirits or demons he calls upon exist within his subjective mind and respond to his invocations. As a magician progresses in the Magical Art, he gains control over his emotions and experiences more "peaks" than "lows". The objective existence of spirits or demons does not need to be proven in order to show the effectiveness of magic. Parapsychologists have shown, through years of research and investigation which only the most cynical will deny, the definite existence of telepathy or mental communication. The human brain operates, like a radio, receiving the brain waves "broadcast" by others of similar frequency. For this reason, telepathy is most common among close friends or family members. A magician may be seen, then, as someone who has converted the "receiver" of his brain into a "transmitter." At first he may only be able to influence those who are on a similar "frequency" to his own or will have to learn how to change "frequency" in order to influence those on different "frequencies". But the more powerful his "transmitter" becomes, the more people he will be able to influence directly. The quickest and most direct route to the brain is through the optic nerve. Mental transmissions from the brain are sent through the optic nerve to the eyes and out through the eye cavities. This is the origin of the "evil eye" and "fascination", as well as the expression "the eyes are the window to the soul." In the Middle Ages, witch-hunters used to remove the eyes of "witches" so that they would not be able to look upon them and curse them. Once a magician has acquired control of his own mental states (through ritual magic), and has converted the "receiver" in his brain into a "transmitter", he is able to "influence" rather than "be influenced". He may even feel contempt for those who are led around upon rash emotional whims without the slightest balance or direction. Many people carry around with them subconscious masochistic tendencies, causing them to do things which will bring pain or misery upon themselves. In magical terminology, this is called a "curse". In its most severe form, the human mind becomes unbalanced, resulting in mental illness, paranoia, psychosis, or schizophrenia. Many people have "cursed" themselves or have been "cursed" by others, either intentionally or unintentionally. Wishing to place a curse on his enemy, an accomplished magician (someone who has mastered the mental states of his consciousness) may enter into a ritual chamber (enter into a "waking state" in which his mind is fully active), invoke a spirit of destruction (create the mental image of the spirit within his subjective mind), and command the spirit to go forth and destroy his enemy (send out the mental "transmission" of hate.) It matters not weather spirits exist objectively or not. They are real to the magician who invokes them and to the victim who suffers the force of the mental "transmission". If spirits or demons exist objectively, as actual intelligent beings, then one might think that they would have more important things to do than appear before a "magic circle" and serve the whims of mere mortals. One might also think that there would then be one "correct" tradition of magic and one "true" pantheon of deities. This is not at all the case. All systems of magic use similar techniques and work relatively the same. The fact that magic based on the worship of pagan gods has the same efficiency as magic based on the Judaeo- Christian Caballa and Gnosticism, shows that it is the techniques used (and their effect upon the practitioner’s mind) which accounts for magical powers and not the particular deities or spirits called upon. Many spirits are accredited with giving knowledge of "arts and sciences". The "Lesser Key of Solomon", a book of goetic sorcery, lists 72 demons which Solomon allegedly bound inside a brazen vessel. This Cabalistic tale has its origin in the Babylonian legend of the 72 Lords of the Djin. The word demon comes from the Greek "daemon", an influencing spirit of intelligence. Djin (or genie) is also the root of the word "genius." Although the word "genius" is often used by the mundane, he who is called a "genius" is said to be under the influence of an intelligence, daemon, or genie. If demons do not exist objectively (only subjectively), then the question arises: how can we explain sudden knowledge acquired through contact with a spirit? Parapsychologists, in the study of telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition, have only been able to prove the existence of telepathy. The reason for this is that, while there is a great deal of evidence concerning the precognition of future events, it can always be attributed to telepathic communication. The same is true of clairvoyance and clairaudience. The clairvoyant who sees the spirit of a woman’s dead grandfather standing beside her does not see the actual spirit of the man but, instead, reads the mind of the woman and, from the image of the man in her mind, imagines him as a spirit. In dealing with the question of "acquired" knowledge, we may consider that all knowledge humankind has acquired resides in someone’s mind. Reading the mind of an unknown subject thousands of miles distant, the magician may aquire instant knowledge of various "arts and sciences". This does not prove the objective existence of demons, only the ability of the human mind to become a powerful "receiver" and "transmitter" of telepathic signals. Unlike the mundane, who are influenced continuously by thoughts which are not their own, the magician may "receive" the information he desires without being controlled by the desires or aims of others. There is an interesting phenomena which occurs in magic and which involves the creation of thought-forms. The magician can create an image within his subjective mind and "impose" it upon the objective world so that it influences the subjective minds of all those individuals who come into contact with it. Objects may be charged with this magical energy and become "charmed" or "cursed". Within a magical group or coven a group-consciousness develops and acts as if it were an individual entity. These thought-forms are also responsible for buildings and locations assuming an aura; becoming "sacred", "holy", "defiled", "unholy", etc. Thought-forms were used by Egyptian magicians to guard burial chambers and resulted in the deaths of archeologists thousands of years later. This phenomena cannot be explained by telepathy but is rather a form of magnetism or mesmerism, concerning which much research has also been done. The question arises: If spirits or demons are invoked by the magician and exist within his subconscious mind, do they also assume an objective existence (as thought-forms) separate from the magician himself? Do gods and deities exist simply on account of man’s belief in and worship of them as such? If this is, in fact, the case then the magician may use telepathic (and vocal) communication to communicate with (summon) all manner of gods, angels, and demons as well as to control the minds of other men. Having given you a completely rational explanation for magic, I must now point out that magic will not work if it is approached from an intellectual perspective. The reason for this is that Magical Art is the domain of the right- side of the brain, the part responsible for artistic talent, and not the left- side of the brain, the part responsible for logic and reason. It is the subconscious mind, the irrational mind, the artistic mind with its dreams, fantasies, and intuitions which is responsible for the "reception" and "transmission" of these telepathic signals. Beneath the surface of man’s conscious mind is a world of fantasy and wonder to which the rational mind is an "outcast". As long as the rational mind is excluded from the subconscious, it will question the existence or importance of anything involving the subconscious to which it is not a part. Hence, the skeptic will question the validity of magic even when he is influenced subconsciously by the will of others. Only He who would practice the Magical Art need believe in its power. The Dynamic Universe In considering the true nature of God, one must first consider the nature of man and of the universe, for without understanding himself or the universe in which he lives how can man approach an understanding of God? Each man possesses a consciousness independent of any other creature. He is aware of a separation between himself and the world around him. He experiences images, sounds, scents, tastes, and physical forms through what he perceives as his physical body. He also experiences thoughts, emotions, and other phenomena which do not manifest either visibly or audibly but which influence him nonetheless and which he perceives as coming from "within" his consciousness. From the earliest times, man has attempted to reconcile this condition of "separation from the universe". Early man, in terror of the images and sounds which bombarded him from all directions and of the earth which seemed ready to swallow him once more as if the universe itself realized that it had made a terrible mistake, scared of this thing called "life" and yet equally scared of death, began to imagine hideous gods and demons all about him. These monsters which roared with anger and surely had the power to destroy him would have to be appeased or else death could be imminent. As man survived fire and flood, disease and famine, the anxiety he felt concerning his condition lessened. Man learned to live and even thrive in a hostile and evil world. Civilizations rose to power and raised up animistic deities as gods who now demanded worship and sacrifice in return for their beneficence and blessing. The threat was no longer against an individual man but against an entire society. To gain the favor of the gods, these deities had to be appeased or else famine, pestilence, or war might come upon a nation and destroy it. Ultimately, the priests of many of these gods decided that their particular deity was the true god, that all other gods were devils, and that the followers of other gods had be converted or destroyed. Egypt was decimated by the Osirians as they attempted to eliminate the earlier religions. In the Middle East, the Hebrews went to war with the surrounding nations to annihilate them. Out of the cults of Baal and Osirus, Tammuz and Dmuzi, Mithra and Zoroaster, rose a sacrificial-god religion which would dominate Europe for centuries to come. The age of paganism had ended and the age of theocracy had begun. Long after the purpose of the gods they represented had passed, theocracies used their "divine" authority to wage religious wars against supposed "infidels" and persecutions of non-believers. Many people today have rejected the established religions of the past. This is natural when you consider that, while society has changed, the teachings and doctrines of these religions have not changed in over a thousand years. Many cannot reconcile the values and beliefs of society with the values and beliefs of the dominant religions within society. We are at a point in history where the dominant religions of the past will be displaced by religions whose values are in greater accordance with society’s values today. This is why many people have sought out new religions and have turned to Wicca and new age philosophies or to alternative religious cults such as Heaven’s Gate and the Solar Temple. While cults devoted to new age mysticism or white light magic and spirituality have had some success among those seeking for "something, ... anything spiritual", due principally to Christianity’s impoverishment of the ego and starvation of the intellect, they are ultimately no more relevant to today’s society than the religions of the past. The world is searching for a religion which embraces the scientific knowledge of today, recognizes the psychological nature of man, and perceives the potential of man to achieve far more than he has already, while holding to ethical beliefs and values held by society today, and possessing a willingness to change those values and beliefs in accordance with future changes in society. Despite some individuals who see in Satanism nothing more than anti-Christianity, a depraved religion of blasphemism or an expression for anti-social desires and impulses, the emphasis of Satanism on the ego and the intellect and its recognition of man’s ultimate potential has made it the one religion relevant in today’s society. But to return to the question at hand, what is the true nature of God? If, by God, one is referring not to a specific deity man has devised but to a controlling force or intellect within the universe, then it is clear to me that God, like the universe and everything within the universe, is in a continuous state of change and evolution. What I am suggesting is that God, like matter, energy, or consciousness, is "dynamic" not "static". Descartes said, "I think therefore I am," but is this really true? In that which I perceive as my "mind" there is a continuous stream of thoughts which flows through me like a river. But am I my thoughts or am I the thing in which my thoughts manifest? Is the river the water which fills the river, or is the river the rock and dirt over which the water flows? Or is "river" simply a name I have given to that which I perceive from the visual image of water moving over rock and dirt? And yet, a river from one moment to the next is not the same river, for the water in the river is not composed of the same water particles, and a man is not the same from one moment to the next, since his thoughts and impressions change with each passing moment. If a man thinks for a moment that he has achieved enlightenment and understanding, the pool of thought he calls consciousness stagnates and, as a cess-pool, breeds worms and stenches like a swamp. The science of today is the superstition of tomorrow and the genius of today the know-nothing of tomorrow, for as the universe evolves towards ever greater levels of consciousness the very concept of truth, enlightenment, or wisdom changes with it. I AM not, but am becoming. The universe IS not, but is becoming. And if I, who possess consciousness, am becoming, then the consciousness which guides and/or controls the universe, from which my consciousness has its source, must also be becoming. The dialectic method of thesis/anti-thesis and synthesis is the process by which the universal dynamic evolves. I am not my flesh nor my blood. I am not my brain nor my body. In realizing that the "I AM" of my being is pure consciousness, I realize that I am God; I am the universe made manifest. And that which I call Lucifer, the embodiment of wisdom and enlightenment, is also changing, is also becoming. It is within me, it flows through me, it is what the "I AM" of my being is. I am Lucifer. I am Satan. There is one thing common to all gods man has created. Every man-made god is static and unchanging. Yahweh resides in heaven, unchanging, unbending, the creator of the universe and all that it contains. Christ sits at the right hand of God ready to judge the living and the dead. Zeus resides in Mount Olympus holding aloft the lightning bolt, his symbol of divine power. The values of society and the structure of its institutions are defined as "good." That which threatens society is defined as "evil." The definitions of good or evil change from nation to nation and from century to century. God is defined by that which is "static" and unchanging. That which is "dynamic", a potential threat to the status-quo such as war, revolution, political unrest, or social upheaval, is represented by the Devil. But, if the universe is dynamic not static and consciousness is NOT but is becoming then the devil, Satan, more accurately reflects the true nature of God than Christ, Yahweh, or any other image of God which man has defined. The Sumerians believed the Dragon of Chaos, Tiamat, to be the mother of the gods. The gods brought order to Chaos, but they were themselves the children of Chaos and subject to its laws and conditions. The devil was not originally a "rebel" against the order of creation but, the beginning and the end, the source of all creation. "The dragon sleeps," we are told in the texts of old, "but shall awaken." In the alchemical treatise, the Kybalion, it is said that "the All is Mind" and "the Universe is Mental." The modern physicist, in accordance with this principle of alchemy that matter and energy are mental phenomena and that "everything vibrates", has stated that the electrons and protons within the atom are composed of waves with various charges and rates of vibration. The Universe is not, but is BECOMING! God is not, but is BECOMING! When Lucifer has risen, when man has become God, then it shall be known that the Aeon of Lucifer has begun. Concerning Christianity The earliest Christians approached Christianity as a philosophy compatible with other philosophical beliefs. The Gnostic Christians saw no conflict between the Christian religion and the mystery schools of Greece and Rome. Among the Celts, Christianity was adopted by the Druids and was practiced alongside the earlier pagan religion. The Greeks and Romans approached Christianity from an intellectual perspective. The scriptures were accepted within the context in which they had been written and were not interpreted as the literal Word of God. The acceptance of Christianity as the official religion of Rome (and creation of the Roman Catholic Church) signaled the end of this intellectual Christianity and the start of a new authoritarian Christianity. In its rise to dominance, the Church proclaimed earlier pagan religions to be forms of devil-worship and condemned millions of innocent men, women, and children to death. Various Gnostic sects were among those executed. Intellectual freedom was suppressed and obedience to the Church was demanded. With the Age of Enlightenment and the eventual separation of church and state, a new emotional Christianity took the place of the authoritarian Christianity. The new Christianity espoused faith in Jesus, the person, as the savior of man and the redeemer of the world. The Bible was accepted as the living Word of God by those claiming to be reborn in Christ. In emotional fervor many Christians would take up serpents, speak in tongues, and witness miracles performed by faith healers. This is the Christianity we have been left with today, a religion of blind faith and superstition - intolerant of all others faiths. Many have rejected Christianity today because of what they see as the utter ridiculousness of its ceremonies and the complete ignorance of its followers. There is much wisdom to be found in Christian scripture, however, if one has the time to read the many books which have been published in the Bible. One should bear in mind that many other "holy books" have been written which have not been included in the Bible and that, in addition to "inspired" writings like the Bible and the Koran, there is much wisdom to be found in the writings of the many philosophers throughout history. Only by accepting the Bible for what it is, a book written by men and not the "living" Word of God, can one approach a true understanding of these scriptures. Read from a "satanic" perspective, the Bible reveals itself as a history of Hebrew magicians and sorcerers. In a careful reading of the Bible, the prophets of the Old Testament are shown to be practitioners of the Black Arts and Jesus Christ, in his stance against hypocrisy and self-righteousness, is revealed as a great Satanic Priest and Black Magician. To the inquiring mind it is clear why the Magi of Persia (the Wise Men), were the first to acknowledge the birth of Christ, for through their Magical Art and the practice of Astrology, they recognized him as a naturally born magician. The eighteen lost years of his life were surely spent in the east studying the knowledge of the Magi. The practitioner of the Black Arts may be the truest Christian and he who would follow the Dark Path set out in this book the truest Apostle of Christ. The Aeon of Lucifer To the true sorcerer there is no "good" and no "evil"; there is only his WILL. This is the basis of Crowley’s Law of Thelema. Those who interpret Crowley’s law "do what thou WILL" as "do what you want" fail to understand that it is the magical WILL Crowley is referring to. What the sorcerer desires (or thinks that he desires) may not be the thing which his "higher self" has truly WILLED to occur. Expanding upon the Law of Thelema, Michael Aquino conceptualized and proclaimed the Word XEPER, by which the sorcerer may "become" and ultimately attain his true WILL, and the realization of his "higher self". Without Thelema, Xeper could never have been, for it is by THELEMA that XEPER is possible. XEPER is the Egyptian word which means "to become". In this context, it means the achievement of one’s higher self (what in Abramelin Magic is called the "Knowledge and Conversation of your Holy Guardian Angel.") Many "Aeon Strengthening" words were also spoken during the Aeon of Set. Magus Lewis conceptualized the cycle by which one "became" and declared it in the word REMANIFEST. Magus Flowers conceptualized the unknown, the hidden, and declared it in the word RUNA. As a traveler might walk for days and never reach the horizon, RUNA is that horizon. As a traveler might walk for days only to find that everywhere he sleeps is "here" not "there", REMANIFEST is "here". XEPER is the process of "becoming"; RUNA is the horizon of all that is unknown and beyond your understanding; REMANIFEST is "here" (the point at which you have "manifested"); and XEM is "there" (the place to which your "higher self" is guiding you.) XEM may be any destination, but realizing that man’s ultimate goal is to become God, XEM becomes DEITUS. DEITUS is the achievement of the power of a God. To become a God, you must realize that you are a God. It has been commonly believed that God created the universe. It is actually the universe which is creating God. Satan is a metaphor for man. The rise of Lucifer is the rise of man to his eventual destiny. The Aeon of Lucifer did not destroy the Aeon of Set, but augmented it. Set is the "dynamic" of the universe, the source consciousness which - through man - is creating God. "The Word of the Aeon is - DEITUS - for man has become God, Lucifer has risen, the dragon has awaken, the gates have been flung wide and the heavens have been conquered. The Ancient Ones rule once more. By your WILL alone, the genetic code of man has been altered. By THELEMA and by XEPER, you are now DEITUS! A new race, a superior race, has been born. No longer shall you be called "Homo Sapien"; you are now "Homo Deitus"! No longer shall you be called Man for you have become God. You and your seed shall live immortal upon the earth, as gods upon the earth. The Aeon of Lucifer has begun! Nations of the earth bow down before my chosen ones. Men of the earth bow down before my chosen ones. Kings of the earth bow down before my chosen ones. You, who have served me faithfully, shall take your place as gods upon the earth!" Each Aeon represents a stage in the non-natural evolution of man. DEITUS could not have been proclaimed as an Aeon enhancing word within the Aeon of Set since it changed this relationship between man and the universe. The Aeon of Isis was a time when man lived in close harmony with the natural world and the dominant religions involved the worship of nature (the pre-Christian pagan world.) The Aeon of Osirus, which followed it, was a time when man rejected the natural world, accepting self-denial and sacrifice of the flesh and body as the ideal. In the west, Christianity rose as a dominant religion during that time. The Aeon of Osirus ended and the Aeon of Horus began April 4, 1904 when Aleister Crowley, Magus of the Aeon of Horus, uttered the Word THELEMA (the Greek word for Will). The WILL in this context was a magical WILL, for in the Aeon of Horus man would no longer be bound by the death-cults of the past. The Age of Satan began April 30, 1966 when Anton LaVey spoke the words "Indulgence instead of Abstinence," thus breaking the power of Christianity over its followers. With the Age of Satan, man was once again free to celebrate his carnal existence. The Aeon of Set began June 21, 1975 when Michael Aquino, Magus of the Aeon of Set, spoke the Word XEPER. In the Aeon of Set, man would seek to attain full realization of his "higher self". The Aeon of Lucifer began May 5, 2000 with the declaration of the word DEITUS, an event coinciding with extensive research being conducted in genetic manipulation and increasing international cooperation between scientists on the "human genome project". In DEITUS, man need no longer "seek" his higher self for by THELEMA and by XEPER he has "attained" it. DEITUS depends upon THELEMA and XEPER just as XEPER depends upon INDULGENCE, THELEMA and RESTRICTION. Man must pass through each preceding Aeon in order to reach the current Aeon. DEITUS does not involve the dissolution of man’s consciousness into "universal consciousness". By dissolving his consciousness into the "universal consciousness" he would be unable to act separately and distinctly upon the universe and would thus be unable to ever attain DEITUS. DEITUS does not represent the end of "becoming" or the end of XEPER and REMANIFEST. To believe for a moment that he has reached the end of the road, that he has become a God, and that his journey is over, the sorcerer would be making a terrible mistake. The Aeon is itself "becoming" within the universe and the universe is itself expanding. By attaining DEITUS, the sorcerer realizes that man is "becoming a God"and accepts "his place as a god upon the earth." His conscsiousness expands to the limits of the current Aeon and he then continues to XEPER and REMANIFEST in direct relationship to the universe. The sorcerer realizes that his consciousness and his will are a manifestation of the universal dynamic, which man calls SATAN. Having attained DEITUS, man becomes the very embodiment of SATAN. The dragon (a second consciousness which contains the knowledge of his ultimate purpose) awakens. As man becomes the embodiment of SATAN and rises to become a God, Lucifer arises, for the rise of Lucifer is a metaphor of man’s ultimate purpose and direction. In DEITUS, you see not only the limits of the current Aeon, but become aware of future aeons which shall come into being as the universe evolves to ever greater levels of consciousness and man rises to his manifest destiny. The Dynamic Consciousness The universe is not logical. Existence is not logical and life is not logical. How can something come out of nothing? If ever there was nothing there should still be nothing. How can the universe be infinite? Yet nothing can exist outside of the universe. How can time be eternal? Yet nothing can exist outside of time. How can mass produce consciousness? If ever a man was not conscious he should still be unconscious. The order of the universe suggests the existence of a god but what created God? If energy cannot be created or destroyed then there is a finite amount but what created energy? The universe should not exist. Life should not exist. There is no logic. The universe is not reality... It is only a dream. Consciousness alone exists. A single consciousness alone exists, isolated in a void of nothingness. There is no God. There is no other consciousness besides that of the One. It sleeps. It dreams. As it awakens from one dream, another dream begins. There is no reality for it to awake to. There is nothing outside of consciousness. The universe seems real to the characters in the dream but what they perceive as "self" does not exist. The consciousness of the many are the consciousness of the One. The lives of the many are the dreams of the One. Deep within every man this knowledge resides. This is why man sees himself in others. What he hates in others is what he hates most in himself. What he fears in others is what he fears most in himself. What he loves in others is what he most wants to possess himself. How he treats his fellow man is a reflection of his true feelings towards his individual consciousness. Those who worship "God" are fools, for they deny the reality of the One which exists within them. Those who fear "God" are frightened of shadows for there is nothing beyond consciousness. Descartes said, "I think therefore I am," but what is thought? Why should man give more credit to the pound of organic matter he calls his "brain" than he does to rock or dirt? Can matter or energy produce consciousness, can nerve cells within the brain "think" any more than stones upon the ground? If this were true then man would be nothing more than a robot following out his "programming" as designed by nature. That which decays and rots in the ground is not the source of consciousness. Consciousness animates the material but is not governed by it. The source consciousness is all that exists. The One is all that is real. A man’s life is a river but what is a river? Is it the water which flows over rock and dirt, changing from moment to moment, or is it the riverbed over which the water flow, which changes also but over a much longer period of time. If the water is diverted, the river dries up and a new river is formed. Can that which never existed die? Can it spend eternity in bliss or in torment? Can it be reincarnated in another form? It cannot be said to die if it never existed. Only the consciousness which enlivened it exists. When consciousness is cut off by the end of flesh, it is diverted elsewhere creating new life. There is only consciousness and it is without end. The mystic says "deny the ego, surrender yourself to the universal consciousness." This is folly for by rejecting one’s own consciousness, the universal consciousness which animates the individual is also rejected. If I am God made manifest then my thoughts are the thoughts of a god and my actions are the actions of a god. My desires are the desires of a god and my Will is the Will of a god. If I am "good" or I am "evil" then I am a god of goodness or a god of wickedness. The sadomasochistic nature of the dynamic consciousness becomes evident as one considers that the source consciousness which animates all things manifests as both predator and prey. Whatever is within one’s nature to do is within the nature of God to carry out. As Aleister Crowley wrote: Every man and every woman is a star; there is no sin in any action which is in accordance with one’s will and desire. Every soul is a manifestation of the One, the One which is divided for love’s sake and for the pleasure and pain of unique existence. The life of an individual is of no consequence; the source consciousness alone exists, experiencing the pleasure and torment of each life. The Demonic Bible The Demonic Bible is written upon parchment made from human flesh in ink made from human blood in a strange alien script, the language of the daemons, dark gods from a time before the creation of man. This dark book contains the magic of the Ancient Ones. Many of its rituals involve human sacrifice, cannibalism, rape, and torture. The Demonic Bible has been revealed, at least in part, to those sorcerers and magicians throughout history who have walked the Dark Path. These magicians have translated passages from the Demonic Bible into various languages, often changing certain words in order to hide the true nature of the work. The Grimoire of Abramelin the Mage, the Clavicula Solomonis, the Book of Shadows, and the Necronomicon are among the many books transcribed from the dread pages of the Demonic Bible. The Demonic Bible was shown to the magician John Dee. Dee translated eighteen of the "demonic" keys from the strange demonic language in which the Demonic Bible is written. When Dee translated his Keys from the Demonic Bible he named them the Enochian Keys. They are not, as is commonly believed, named for the Enoch who "walked with God" but rather for Enoch, the son of Cain. Cain was the first man to perform the rituals of the Demonic Bible and he murdered his brother as a sacrifice to the Ancient Ones. His son, Enoch, was given to the serpent from birth. This demonic language revealed to Dee during his scrying experiments is
