Freedom First! ... Then Take It from There. (Part I)

Dear Readers, It has been a while since I was writing here. Two years ago, I started to write another post about how to escape the matrix.

I drew from the movie where the red pills gather themselves in Zion; the draft suggested building your Zion (your ideal habitat) first, e.g. through side hustles - and once you have accomplished that, you are free to change your life.

That approach does not work. So, I stopped writing the post and looked for alternatives.

But wait a minute ... did I discard the approach that millions of bloggers propose to escape the rat race? (develop your side hustle so that you can make a living from it; get rich and retire early ...)

Yes.

I am not promoting this crap because it does not work for red pills; metaphorically speaking, those approaches just relocate you within the matrix.

Some might succeed, but many won't (and instead end up burnt out).

So, one has to stay poor and fight machines like the characters in the movie?

No, I don't think so.

Let me share my experiences with you and save you from the pitfalls that I tapped into.

Follow me to learn more in upcoming posts.

The Matrix Resurrections will soon be on air—time to reflect it from a Satanic point of view. Please stay tuned. And, please, do not forget to check out my previous posts.

Escaping the Matrix, II

So what does it take to escape the Matrix? I am not offering you a step-by-step guide, as that would be incompatible with freeing your mind; Instead, I provide you with major pillars you can build upon.

Awareness

Please be aware that your mind is not free; it is captivated by the Matrix. The Matrix is built on values and beliefs that you are exposed to every day; it started with the very beginning of your existence.

That is not a hostile act per se: Without passing on cultural knowledge and embedding humans into societies, each of us would start from zero right after birth.

Nevertheless, if that setting remains unreflected and does not resonate with your personality and your dreams, then you will feel stuck.

For me, it was the feeling that something was wrong that I could not articulate; That I was at the wrong place, not doing the right thing, that I did not live up to my potential.

In that case, you need to learn about the Matrix that holds you captivated and find ways to exit it or at least alter it.

You go first

Leaving the Matrix is your personal choice. You can't build on anyone else joining you. You should not wait if you want to. You also should not seek confirmation or permission: Both would mean asking for grants from a system you intend to leave; it would not make any sense.

Furthermore, likely, others would even hinder you or at least put obstacles in your way.

Or metaphorically spoken: You are an ant, leaving the anthill. Don't expect support from other ants. Don't wait for others to join your efforts.

Also, from an ethical point of view, you go first: You don't know how it will work out, so don't push others to join you.

You go first. If you succeed, others might follow and ask for your advice.

On the other hand, if you know someone who successfully left the Matrix (whatever that means to you), don't be shy to ask for advice. However, don't expect to get advice for free; compensation is the norm.

In any case: If you choose a guide, pick someone who successfully has left the Matrix - and not someone who intends to do so, selling his ideas as a blueprint, leaving it to others to verify it, at their own risk.

Changing beliefs

The Matrix is a ruling system controlling your thoughts, feelings, and actions. The primary prerequisite that is needed to rule people is fear. Without fear, people won't obey.

Fear is multi-facetted: In its core, it is the fear to die -- and conditions that could lead there, such as severe injury, social isolation, and any form of scarcity.

The Matrix utilizes that by inducing fears and by controlling resources.

Basically, those processed are mediated by values and beliefs. Simply put, your values determine what you strive for in life, while your beliefs determine how you get there.

Consequently, you need to reflect on your value system: You should be crystal clear about what you strive for in life.

Values are your guiding system that impacts everything you think, feel or do -- even on a subconscious level.

Similar thoughts apply to your belief system: Your beliefs govern how you realize the values you strive for. Some people use career hacks while others wait for invitations, ask for permission, and seek reassurance.

You should learn about your beliefs and adapt them to your advantage.

Ignoring society

You can't rely on society when detaching from the Matrix: Otherwise, you would ask people linked to the Matrix and maintain that state for advice on how to do otherwise.

Society might somewhat hinder you from your quest.

Should you defeat society? Or try to win them for your endeavor? Both are dysfunctional; the most straightforward way is to simply ignore them.

If one of them messes with you, smile and walk away.

Escaping the Matrix means liberating yourself from society; thus, no interaction is beneficial, including debates.

So...where is Zion?

In the movie itself, "the Red Pills" meet in Zion, an underground city. In (our) reality, there is no Zion -- at least not the one Zion.

Once you escape the Matrix, you are on your own. You need to create your personal reality.

Per design, no one will impose any belief systems on you. Contrary, you are now on your own.

Nevertheless, sometimes people find that the realities they create match those of other ones. That is their personal Zion, then.

Sounds confusing? It is. I will devote a particular post to that. So, please, stay tuned.

Swallowing the Red Pill: Escaping the Matrix

Being part of a society but also a community and even a group impacts your perceptions and decisions.

Once that identity becomes salient, different schemata become activated, governing that process.

You need not memorize that compact psychological explanation.

In practical terms, it means that you may want to reflect your values and beliefs.

Many of them have their origin from outside and made it "into your brain" via socialization: Society passes on norms and values during formal education and daily routines, including media and social sanctions.

Media shapes people a lot - and once they put themselves on a news diet and critically reflect the authors' intentions, they might rate the news differently.

Metaphorically one could say that your mind may be captivated by the above and the list is far from being complete. Metaphorically that cage can be called The Matrix (or at least the movie uses that term).

Exiting the Matrix starts by becoming aware of factors that impact your identity, thoughts, feelings, and actions.

You will start to question information that reaches you; you will learn about the 3rd side, i.e., make your own opinion instead of choosing between two poles offered to you via the media.

You will strive to see things as they are and base your decisions on that view. From the viewpoint of others, you might start to disobey.

Exiting the Matrix can be dangerous.

Many people find it appealing to escape the golden cage they feel that they are in. But be warned: It won't be easy. It does not happen out of the cuff.

And from time to time, you might feel that you are losing ground - like Alice in Wonderland when she bumps into the rabbit hole.

It's also not straightforward to revert your experiences: Once you have seen the 3rd side, it won't be easy to ignore it. You then find yourself in a reality you know is an illusion, rendered by beliefs that you might not want to share anymore.

All that might have an unwanted impact on your future life. You lose the (imaginary) safety net that many see granted by being a member of society.

And you might be alone, at least for a while: Changing your belief systems often coincides with abandoning relationships. Thant can be an advantage because you have the freedom to transform your life and break free. On the other hand, people might not be used to that and lose ground.

It is up to you. You have been warned.

[thelexlucifer]

You live in the Matrix, right?

Dear All,

Have you seen the Matrix? I am referring to the Hollywood Blockbuster that was extremely popular in the early millennium. If not, you missed something. But anyway, The Matrix Resurrections is to come out soon.

The movie claims that people live in a dream world induced by machines that use the human body to supply energy. People that do not accept the virtual reality have the chance to escape: They are offered two pills, blue and red: If they take the red pill, they exit the Matrix and find themselves in the real world: Mankind assembled in Zion, an underground city, battling the machines. If they take the blue pill, they remain in the Matrix. Thus, they are given a choice to stay in a fictional world or to face reality.

The movie triggered various emotions. It raised questions that remained unanswered; the film, therefore, induced a discourse, and fan-projects like the Matrix Wiki became frequent sites.

OK, but why should I bother?

As seen in the movie, The Matrix is a prison for one's mind, a feeling known to many of us. It seems that we lack to realize our full potential, that we are kept at bay by society.

There are concepts around that, and the Matrix draws a lot from them. If you feel that you want to free your mind and discover the unchartered territory of your personality, then look out for my upcoming posts.

But I have to warn you: It can become dangerous.

Hail Satan!

Why you should not join Rotary.

Dear All,

Many people will tell you why one -if qualified- should join Rotary: It's prestigious. You meet top-notch people. They do for the good. In brief, you become part of an Elite.

Rotary Clubs do not accept everyone, but being a Satanist, I can sneak into any network.

The good news is that you do not have to do so on your own to find out why those guys suck. Just read on.

I spent time in my favorite capital. During a reception, I noticed a Rotary banner and got curious. I wished to learn more, and already on the next day, it happened:

I entered the monthly sundowner of a prestigious business network. I just grabbed a glass of red wine, and a friendly gentleman introduced himself, and so did I.

When I briefly outlined my intentions, he said, "Ah, business!" and handed me over two cards; one of them mentioned his position in Rotary's hierarchy.

He invited me to their club meetings, and I really enjoyed them. Every week, an exciting speaker was presented, and there was room for extensive networking. They liked me, I liked them - and also, my wife felt comfortable during a fellowship event that we both joined.

It seemed logical to join, and they invited me to do so. A rigorous testing period was shortened to board me early, so eager both sides were. My induction into the club was marvelous, and I was the happiest that day, and my wife was very proud of me.

Already the next day started with a lousy awakening:

First I had to get rid of a girl that I met during my welcome party. Without her wig, she did not look that attractive as the day before. During breakfast, I browsed through the welcome package the club gave me, and I noticed - terms.

They outlined various obligations towards the club, including asking for exemption when traveling. I felt like an employee of a company without a paycheque; entirely unacceptable.

My inductor assured me that this was just a welcome letter and I was free to do what I wanted. Still, things changed dramatically: Fellow Rotarians -no longer my friends- desperately tried to push me into tasks that did not resonate at all. The situation stressed me out entirely, and after three months, I resigned from the club and felt comfortable again.

In the aftermath, I did extensive web research. I found that Rotary adheres to procedures like those that I revealed to you. Vaguely phrased, but the bottom line is the same.

At the end of the day, Rotarians are bloodsuckers: They attach to you without notice, and then -- they suck.

Nevertheless, I gained from the experience as it deepened my understanding of Satanism.

If you are in Satanism, you may have noticed higher and lesser magic elements in the story above. I won't comment on that explicitly.

It reminded me of Anton Sandor LaVey's perception of people who pretend to serve to hide being evil -Rotary's motto is Service above Self. I did not elaborate on the latter but rest assured, those people have their dark secrets.

The Rotary pin serves as the ultimate good guy badge that the Doctor proposed.

There was a lot of brainwashing involved; one day, my inductor even apologized for it. Getting a clear picture of the situation is essential, not trusting excuses and whitewashing.

Once you realize you made a mistake, correct it immediately and admit that you were wrong. Realizing what happened, I resigned without hesitation. And I apologized to my wife and reassured her that it was absolutely not her fault that I felt stressed.

There were a lot of emotions involved: Ritual work served as decompression and was an excellent stress relief.

I had reasons why I joined Rotary and immediately thought of new ways to accomplish my initial goals.

If you are familiar with Satanism, you may notice the relations to the Satanic sins, the rules of the earth - and other foundations of Satanic philosophy.

The bottom line is: As a Satanist, you can do what you want. You can strive for any goal. And you can master any situation.

However, it needs practice. And practice comes with experience.

Hail Satan to all of you!

Thoughts after a Creative Break.

Dear All,

Today I realized that I did not blog here on Tumblr for a long time. To me, that feels like a mistake.

On the other hand, we all need a creative break from time to time.

But - wait a minute: Is a creative break not prohibited to artists & creative minds?

First of all: Who hinders you from being a creative mind that becomes recognized as an artist over time -or even on the hoove?

Second, do creatives have the freedom to do what they want, while others obey a fictional master framed by civil society (or whomever)?

You bet. And better become creative.

I made another mistake: I spent time learning how to blog for money. I did so because I love blogging. And "they say" (a pitfall for every Satanist) that if you turn your passion into a job, you are well off.

The problem is: Once your passion becomes a job, it is a job -- and no longer your passion.

If you blog for money, you have to think like a businessman: Who is my target audience? What are their needs? What catches their attention long enough so that I can monetize their online time? - and further obsolete questions for a creative.

This blog is my catharsis. If you like what you read, take it. If you don't like it, leave it. You can avoid posting criticism, as I am not going to read it. It's my blog, not yours.

Anyway, I appreciate likes, proposals from Maecenas -- and dates with hot ladies *gg*.

So how do I make money? Luckily, I do not have to worry about that. I am an independent gentleman living from disinvestments.

Or -in simple terms- I am burning cash.

Unfortunately, I am not Elon Musk, who asks his Twitter followers when to sell stocks. On the other hand, I do not want to be Elon Musk because I love who I am.

The bottom line is: My wallet has a bottom.

The way out? I have been investing in myself all the time. New skills open new opportunities and they will turn into cash. Eventually. Hopefully.

In my business life, I blog to raise attention for ebooks that I wrote and webinars that I will conduct: I am a business advisor and discovered new ways of designing business models. That might be interesting for some who want to gain from the digital transformation and the sustainability trend.

I need a Maecenas, not a Messias.

Furthermore, I love Finance and dwell in Algorithmic Trading, which will automatize making money. Eventually. Hopefully.

The latter very well matches my personality: Making money is a burden imposed by society. Everything belongs to somebody. You are not allowed to bribe, cheat, or rob. You need money to buy what you want, and you even have to pay for your basic needs.

That is slavery, nothing more. The most effective way to allocate resources -free markets- became a ruling system, backed by the herd, facilitated by media, owned by a few.

If you do not want to obey that system, you need to find ways to make money while you sleep. Then you can spend it purposefully while you are awake.

There is still some way off, and realizing that bears some mental cost. I make it by applying what I share with you in this blog. And last but not least:

This blog is my stress relief.

See you back in hell. But wait, I travel to Dubai next week, growing my financial network.

Hail Satan!

These Shoes Contain a Drop of Human Blood. Nike Does Not Approve.

As a follow-up to its Jesus Shoes, the company MSCHF will sell 666 pairs of Satan Shoes in collaboration with the rapper Lil Nas X.

That rocks, right? Hail Satan to all of you.

[thelexlucifer]

Who dares, wins.

This blog post is about courage. Courage is an important ingredient for your fulfilled life. This is because sometimes going for great things in life means to leave familiar space. Doing so is often accompanied by fear.

You should not aim to avoid the fear. Fear is a natural reaction. You however can learn to handle your fear and finally overcome it. And go for your dreams (even if folks around you tell you differently).

A good read that you some extent really changed my life was Osho’s Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously. The book quite comprehensively deals with the phenomenons I  just told you.

It is interesting to relate the ideas to Satanism: For instance you can apply higher magic to deal with your emotions. You even can use your emotions during rituals to pave the way for your goals. Anton Szandor Lavey called the ritual chamber also the “mental decompression chamber”. And he was quite right about it.

Beside the above reading recommendation, I suggest to also read my further blog posts on this tumblr. You will find valuable resources for handling emotions, setting goals and to defy the herd. And indulge your life.

In fact living the life of your dreams is very simple. However it is not easy. The princinples to get to a fulfilled life can be found already in my blog and in referred literature. That is the simple part. To live those principles every day and to face the emotions immanent in a life off the track is the tricky part.

I wish you lots of success in doing so. Hail Satan!

Covid-19: The Herd’s Plague.

Covid-19 is a viral disease that was classified to be a pandemic by the WHO. To date there is no vaccine and and no reliable anti-viral drug available to fight the disease. The main measure to cope with it is social distancing, hence avoiding any unnecessary contact, preferably staying at home and maintain a distance of two meters to other people while in public. Given that situation, the future is quite vague but nevertheless there are some scenarios how this could end. A good summary can be found on Bloomberg and I highly recommend to read it.

Bloomberg did a great job, so what will this posting be about? Well, it discusses the current situation from a satanic point of view. Adding a grain of cynicism, as this is part of the rhetoric of many major players nowadays. Let’s beat (or even punish) them with their own weapons, following an extended interpretation of lex talionis. 

Disclaimer: If you or your beloved ones are infected by Covid-19, I wish you a quick recovery by all means. This posting addresses people that are faced by the counter actions of their governments without being infected themselves.

Herd immunity. And staying safe.

Herd immunity is the assumption that if a certain amount of the herd got infected and developed anti bodies, the spread of the virus will get to a halt. For Covid-19 the estimation is that 60-70% of the herd need to get infected. Under ideal circumstances that can be achieved by applying a highly available vaccine (which is currently not available). Otherwise, the virus will spread until that threshold is reached. With all the negative impact on the health care systems and with an according death toll. Assuming a fatality of 1% (which could be an underestimation for some nations, especially once health care systems get overwhelmed), you now can do the math for various regions in the world (EU, USA, ...) how many people are likely to die before the herd immunity is reached. Communicating that number as an anticipated outlook would be political suicide. So they play for time.

From a satanic point of view the term “herd immunity” makes makes me grin because it refers to the herd that suffers. As a satanist you have good chances to avoid infection by distancing from the herd -and earn kudos for following social distancing guidelines. And as you might know from Magus Gilbert’s Satanic Scriptures, it can also be enough to decide that bad happenings are for the herd and not for you. 

While for satanists it is quite easy to avoid herderity -which would be a Satanic Sin- the herd suffers a lot when staying alone: Herd’s members unfulfilled and boring lives often makes it unbearable for them to stay alone at home. Instead they are seeking for companionship, get infected and thus contribute to building the herd immunity. 

In any case do not lose your perspectives - otherwise you would commit another Satanic sin (”lack of perspective”).

The 3rd Side: Propaganda debunked.

The main sources of information for the public are currently press conferences conducted by the respective governments. Some folks does not know how to look up additional information, while in some countries it is per design, as emergency rules there also channel the news.

What you can see is that spokespersons utilize various comparisons, many of them being invalid. In the beginning they compared Covid-19 cases to various other diseases, ending up to admit that this is a unique threat. Now they downplay the impact by simply ignoring (or better: outfading) the numbers on a per capita basis. For instance it does not make sense to merely compare Germany with a population of 80 Million people to China with a population of more than a billion. Germany already reports more cases than China, with the latter being seen as the initial epicenter. Taking into account the per capita basis, the situation appears even far more worse than already suggested by the raw numbers. Same applies for Italy, France, Spain, Sweden etc. 

And when we are at it: Did you notice the communication that the US is now the new epicenter of the crisis? Don’t get me wrong, the US numbers are bad. But EU officials now compare the US as a whole to a single EU member state (Italy). Taken all EU member states together -as they usually convey their unity- would be a fairer comparison. Then being clear that the EU became and still is the the epicenter of the crisis.

Another propaganda trick is that EU member states compare among themselves. Covid-19 is a pandemic and hence a global phenomenon. Hence, it is valid to compare globally and not just within the bloc. Once the EU and/or their member states compare with nations in South-East-Asia, it becomes inevitable that the EU and its member states and also the US have simply failed. They are overwhelmed by the crisis, their measures are not sufficient or were applied too late.

Might is right.

As kind of an immunization strategy against criticism, prime ministers in EU member states tend to refer to different government forms in Asia and that the situation can’t be compared. Hm. There is the state form that is either monarchy or republic. Both can be found in Asia, both can be found within the EU. Then there is the form of government: Democracy within the EU, democracy within South East Asia mostly (As you know, for instance China has a one party system). So that this is not really a killer argument, except for China.

The real difference is the culture. The cultural dimension can be further drilled down to political culture, society and are to some extent reflected in the legal framework. 

The SEA nations experienced SARS in 2009 and learned from it. And their governments did what it takes from the very beginning. Among those measures were strict controls at airports and other points of entry. But also more profane looking measures such as providing and encouraging the use of face masks and hand sanitizers. All those measures helped very well too mitigate the impact of the disease while within the EU the majority of so called experts doubted their effectiveness. Constantly referring to their studies and data. It is a mere illusion that a new phenomenon can be fought relying on past evidence. In the aftermath, you can analyze what happened and which measures were the most effective ones. But when fighting a new phenomenon it needs courage to try things that at least do not harm anyone in the worst case. Wearing a face mask and washing hands more often is really not a big deal. For the EU and its political leaders it however is. Nowadays they are implementing those measures because in their respective countries the situation simply got out of control. It is the decadent western world that now appears to be punished for their ignorance.

Satanic Principles. And again Staying Safe.

So what can you do about Covid-19? Any Satanic principles that come in handy? The answer is a clear yes.

Herderity (Satanic sin): Isolate yourself from others (the herd members). Leave the problem with the herd. Covid-19 is the plague of the herd, not yours.

Responsibility to those who are responsible: If you do not work in a crisis center or a lab, it is not your task to resolve the plague. So don’t worry about that, focus on your goals.

Lack of perspective (Satanic sin): You have the ability to stay safe. Use the days of social distancing to work on your dreams and plan your success.

Stupidity (Satanic sin): Many political leaders give negative examples. They simply do not understand the situation and hence, they are simply overwhelmed in leading through the crisis.

Solipsism (Satanic sin): There are so called experts outside that negate proven measures while their countries fail. Don’t follow their example.

Always look on the third side: Do not fall pray to unreflected propaganda. 

Higher Magic: The times can be demanding. Use rituals as your mental decompression chamber. Otherwise you are prone to commit satanic sins.

Finally browse through my Tumblr and get hints about coping with challenging times. As Satanists we have all what it needs to get out of the crisis, even strengthened. Again: Leave the plague with the herd. Hail Satan!

Might is right: China’s Transformation from the Covid-19 Epicenter to the World’s Savior.

Currently the world is struggling with a viral disease, named Covid-19. It’s likely origin was in China, Wuhan in December 2019. Hence, China became the epicenter and reported a lot of infections and also deaths.

In 2020 infections spilled over: The first case outside China was reported in Thailand at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi international airport. Soon other countries reported cases. Mostly in Asia, but then the virus found its way to Europe, the United States, Australia but also other regions in Asia. In February, Italy and thus Europe became the new hotspot of the virus. Infection numbers were growing there and so was the death toll. In mitigating the spread of the virus (”flattening the curve”), many countries decided to go for a lock-down. On March 25 India did so as well, leading to one third of the world population being in home quarantines. The impacts on economies appears to be huge, a world wide recession is on the way.

You can use this dashboard to get an overview.

The pivot-point was reached in March, when China reported “no new infections” (based on their metrics but backed by the WHO), while in Europe, especially in Italy the cases surged.

Chinese specialists arrived in China to help. Chinese Healthcare professionals volunteered to help all over Europe, with Europe’s health care systems facing their limits. It was China, sending of medical gear to Europe, as Europe was short of all kind of gear and equipment, including sanitizers and face masks.

Of course it is amazing that the Chinese did it and the world owes them a big Thank you, as Chinese President Xi Jinping found. 

That the origin of the virus was in China, does no longer matter. It could have been elsewhere, attributing the origin to China because of their behavior would be considered to be a racist attitude. That there however should be some investigation about hygiene standards at Chinese markets is an other thread of discussion of course. Beside the gossips that the virus originated in the US and the CIA transferred if to China .... well, conspiracy theories are everywhere.

When studying Political Science, I learned that there is however not only one motivation, why an actor behaves in a certain way. This makes sense, as a nation state is not a single person, its actions are the results of complex processes. So let’s look at the situation from that perspective.

As already implied in the above paragraph, of course it was China’s interest to lose any negative image. Becoming the origin and the epicenter of Covid-19 should look like an epiphenomenon, it could have happened anywhere in the world. It started in China and they accepted the burden, locking down the whole Hubei province to prevent global contagion, accepting economic drawbacks.

They of course had to tackle the crisis. And they did in a way that let them appear very engaged. Building hospitals for Covid-19 treatments within a few days. Soon propose testing procedures for infection and a basic description of the virus. Publishing a lot in academic journals (not all in high quality but the quantity was enormous). That is of course also a chance to show China’s capacity and capabilities to the world.

Once the epicenter shifted, they deployed their medical stuff, as mentioned above. Beside expertise, they also provide medical gear. Hence, they strengthen their bonds with Europe. That is in line with China’s Belt-And-Road Initiative, that grants China global influence.

It is likely that they will gain influence around the world. Is it right to do? Well, it is not a question of your appreciation, they do what they do. And might is right, as I regularly tell you.

Stay safe. And Hail Satan from Hell - Lex Lucifer.

I gain from Covid-19 counter actions. And so can you.

Currently we live in odd times. This is owed to Covid-19, a coronal disease spread by a virus that most likely started its spreading in Wuhan, China, in 2019.

To date, the virus reached pandemic level (according to the WHO), hence it spreads worldwide. The spreading can’t be managed narrowly, counteractions need to be taken on an individual level but also on the level of nation states. Viruses tend to spread epidemically (exponentially), as each host (human, carrying the virus) is likely to infect several others that are close by. Even if the host is currently not showing any symptoms.

Beside personal precautions, the governments around the world aim to flatten the curve, i.e. aim to at least slow down the spread of the virus to buy time for inventing vaccines and anti-viral medication. Both is currently unavailable.

The epicenter of the disease now shifted to Europe. I hold a European citizenship but currently stay in South-East Asia, in a country that took precautions rather early and hence can be considered quite save, although also here counter actions affect daily routines.

This posting wants to inspire you how to use the situation, so that you gain in your life.

Disclaimer: If you or your beloved ones are infected by Covid-19, I wish you a quick recovery by all means. This posting addresses people that are faced by the counter actions of their governments without being infected themselves.

Some of the counter actions are quite severe: They reduce your social contacts, keep you away from the office (teleworking) and also keep you away from crowded places, hence keep you away from various kind of social entertainment. Also your consumptions habits might be impacted, as several stores remain closed or close early in several countries.

This is your chance to focus on things that really matter in your life. 

Actually most of your dreams probably remain dreams because you consult with other people that tell you that you should refrain from doing it. Because it’s risky (Because they never would dare doing it. Because they already gave up there dreams. Because they do not want you to succeed while they have accommodated with failure).

In other words: Covid-19 counter measures keep you away from the herd, hence they keep the Satanist’s away from its biggest hurdle towards a fulfilled life.

Take the chance to think of your dreams. Write them down. Identify doable actions that take you closer towards your dream. Prioritize them while you skip all those actions that you currently do, that do not take you towards your goals. Support that process by great literature and great podcasts.

It is likely that the Covid-19 counteractions stay in place for 30 days. At least. And trust me, if you fully focus on working towards your dreams, within 30 days you can accomplish a lot.

Give it try. Leave the worrying and the sucking to the herd. Hail Satan!

The Nazarene debunked. And how to become the Anti-Christ.

More than 2 billion Christians form the largest religious group on the planet. As you know from my previous blog posts, I am a satanist, hence I am an atheist (please read my BlogPost “Atheism: There is no God” for further details).

So why writing a Blogpost about the Nazaerne (the more suitable label for the person who proclaims to be God’s son)? Well, this is because the Christian bible explicitly refers to the devil and the anti-christ and see both of them embodied within Satanism. They furthermore see Satanists as devli worshippers, they probably assume the anti-christ to be one of us. Well, not just that they do not realize that they have been had by the Nazarene, they also reproduce unfounded gossips about the Church of Satan (CoS). Let’s discuss that one by one. An exegeses from a Satanic point of view, so to say.

Exegeses means to understand the content of the bible. A good religion teacher will tell you that the bible is no factial report. For instance the creation of the earth is described in two different ways, depending on the book that you consult. This of course also applies for all further chapters, however there won’t be always two texts about the same topic.

Let’s look at the mystique about the Nazarene, who claimed to be Jesus Christ. As there are a lot of stories about him, also in historical books, it can be taken granted that this man lived.  Some claim that there was an immaculate conception: This you can simply ignore, exegeses done by Christian theologist does so, too. This man led more or less a normal life. Then, in his 30s he started to teach and to heal. The teachings can be seen as primitive communism.

The healings astound many people in the West, in Asia however they happen regulalry. In Thailand you will find high skilled Nuad practitioners (Nuad is the Thai word for traditional Thai massage, a kind of passive yoga), that can heal various sufferings simply with their hands - in the highest form even without following usual techniques. You won’t find that at the first available “Nuad parlour“ in Bangkok. But if you travel to tourist free zones, your chances increase. I myself know about people that were paralyzed for several years and then started to walk again after four Nuad treatments. In that case, it was even not the highest possible skillset yet. Of course not everyone can become a master and even a master can’t guarantee to succeed in every case to come. But considering the inflations you find throughout the bible and in the new testament in particular, it is likely that the Nazarene’s fans (apostles, evangelists) referred to such occassions. In this regard please consider that Jesus did not live in Europe. So no evidence based medicine those days.

God’s son ... well, you can try out yourself what to think about it: See a psychiatrist of your choice and tell her that you are God’s son (or daughter, respectively). Insist on it. Do not deviate from it. Call her a sinner, if she does not believe in you. You probably will end up with a diagnosis - narcisstic personality disorder at least. There won’t be any further investigation whether you are speakting the truth. That’s not necssary. Case closed.

Crucified by the Romans. Crucifixion was a common punishment for ringleaders, leaders of anticipated rebellions. They aimed to daunt the offender’s followers. It’s quite likely that this happened.

What about the resurrection? Actually such legends are still quite common in some milieus, for instance drug cartells. Influential people that diseased (or were killed / tortured) are said to be still alive by their (former) followers. Beside that there are theologists that assume that the resurrection was just a metaphor to express that the Nazarene’s teachings were still present, i.e. were followed by the people. I myself know groups that sometimes report that they saw their diseased leader, remember him regularly and so on.

Taken together the Nazarene can be seen as a charismatic leader of the resistance (against the Roman empire), teaching primitive communism and practicing traditional medicine. Maybe suffering from a personality disorder or just skillful usage of religious ideas for building a loyal community. Actually a talented but finally an ordinary man.

Wanna be the Anti-Christ?

There were several folks that showed up on TV screens claiming that they are the Anti-Christ. Maybe that was triggered by “The Omen”, probably one of the best horror movies ever. But actually that behaviour is the same like claiming to be God’s son; you can try the "psychiatry sanity check” suggested above also for this case. So if you want to appear on TV screens, this blog post is not for you.

In a biblical sense you are already the anti-christ if you agree with the above statements or if you do not believe in Jesus Christ. Newer texts talk about anti-christs (so there is more than one) as people denying God’s son and therefore denying the father, too. So actually it’s kind of an immunisation strategy for shielding their believe system towards others. A strategy that you will find in probably every religion and probably in every community and in every ideology. In this case it’s very easy to work around: If you are an atheist you do not believe in any God and therefore do not fear any consequence from him. In a biblical sense you then already are one of the anti-christs. In this regard you may also want to read my blog post “The Catholic Church loves the Devil ...”.

Being the anti-christ however can mean to do better than the Nazarene and not end up on the cruzifix. This demands always looking for the 3rd side, indulge life and pursue your goals. Satanism is a great way to do that.

Why Testosterone is most important. And why Feminists want to reduce yours.

As you might guess from the title, this posting is for the Satanic Warlock. But I am sure, that also Satanic Witches can understand it and would probably agree. 

The headline is kept short and it is not all about testosterone. It is about masculinity and testosterone however is a very important ingredient. For males, this hormone to a huge extent contributes to your lifestyle. If you are high on testosterone, chances are good, that you enjoy an amazing sex life, grow strong in the gym, have a neat body, sleep well, push through your goals and just feel great. Scientists might disagree, as a single hormone is not enough to predict the future outcomes of a complex system. Of course success depends also on other factors - I leave it to scientists to give that explanations. Testosterone however is an important item, as it is an important ingredient to make you superior to others. Being superior to others is most important, as you learned that you need to push through your interests against resistance from the herd. Or in brief: Might is right, as you have already read. And the herd is numerous but not mighty per se.

They however employed top social scientists that revealed many dimensions on which the average herd member only scores average, if not even below. Many of those dimensions, if not all, decide who wins in the daily competition. Being lazy and ignorant, they realized, that it would mean lots of efforts to gain and to score higher and then score better in competition. They therefore decided not to gain and compete, but to make everyone equal. In practice that means that they want to rule out all dimensions of success and replace it by odd practices. Furthermore they aim to take resources from those that possess them. They team-up to take away from you, what makes you successful.

Actually ... it’s a man’s world. There are however ladies that get what they want, both in the boardroom and in the bedroom. Those are satanic witches; I get along with them very well and have devoted blog posts to them. The opposite to Satanic witches are the feminists. They claim that men are responsible for all the bad in the world. They want to take away from men, what makes a man a man. They want to take from you what makes you superior over them. They want to take from you what makes your life a pleasant one. They want to take from you everything that lets you enjoy life. Metaphorically spoken they want to eliminate you. Because if men are in a minority, they rule the world. And succeed although they would lose in every fair competition. 

Their strategy is to avoid direct competition and rather replace it by a selection process that is in their favor. The key tool to accomplish that is political activism. It is well established in liberal democracies such as propagated by the European Union. At the first glance it sounds like a good idea. Drilling deeper however reveals that is biased, favoring the weak (feminists are just one example). The distorition of the might is right princliple is already facing its limits (please refer to my blog post “Why the EU will fail. And why that’s not Russia’s fault).

But until the pendulum swings back to normal (those processes are already on the way), you face the effects of that distortion. Have you been used to push through your goals, you now will face artifical hurdles doing so. Over time that can be frustrating, with negative impact on your testosterone level. This will reduce the quality of your life dramatically. And further reduce your ability to assert your goals. It’s kind of a vicious circle that you must escape for the sake of your personal freedom (and in order to avoid feeling burned-out).

Counter strategies

Counter action should be taken on several dimensions. Some aim to protect you from negative impact, while others aim to boost your testosterone level.

My blog post “Surviving distress” gives you a good start. Over time your get to a good balance and can keen it even if you face distractions.

Reflect your conversations. Identify those you feel bad during or after. This should also include your media consumption, although that is mainly “one way communication”.

If you can’t avoid negative communication (with psychic vampires), brush up your negotiation skills. And of couse you may apply lesser magic. And higher magic if you want (you may want to refer to my blog post “Lesser and Higher Magic”).

Get enough sleep. Exercise regulalry (preferably weight training). Take care of health nutrition.

You can use supplements to boost your testo-level. There are distinct boosters available, but their dosage is for people that exercise regulalry. In any case you should consider your Vitamin D level, Omega 3 acids, zinc.

Ginseng: Peruanian Ginseng and Malaysian Ginseng combined are considered to be natural testo boosters (I have to admit that I did not try that myself).

Regular sex / orgasms boosts your test level, too.

I made good experiences with Nuad (Traditional Thai massage).

The above list quite comprehensive. I left out testosterone vaccines as they can be problematic. You however may want to discuss that with an andrologist of your choice. During the conversation you should refer to lifestyle therapies, if you show symptoms of a low testosterone level, although the according value seems to be ok.

Not sure whether you do everything off the cuff. But you can pick one of the counteractions and start with them. And then add the further ones until you feel convenient and push through your goals again. As I said: It’s a man’s world (with satanic witches as their allies).

Why the EU will fail. And why that’s not Russia’s fault.

The EU in its current form is under pressure and is likely to fail. UK left the EU a few days ago (”BREXIT”), although it is currently in a transitional status. There are many reasons for EU’s denial; for instance you may want to check out my blog post “EU: One of the biggest delusions in history” for some. The posting you are currently reading is complementing that article.

One argument that EU always plays is “freedom”. At the first glance that sounds great, but they do not mean your personal freedom - they rather mean empowering minorities. 

The key tool to accomplish that is political activism. When I first learned about it, I found that it’s good thing. Who wants to be governed by a few, being suppressed by the crown or by a dictator in its extreme form? - Personal Freedom is probably the greatest gift in life. It depends on basic rights that took long time to be established, including bloody rebellions. Personal freedom is however at stake. This is due to a major damage in modern (liberal) democracies, as I will discuss below. 

One of the core ideas of democracy is the fair competition of ideas. Freedom of speech ensures that everyone can come up with an idea and critizise those brought up by others. “Good ideas” are then picked-up, leading to initiatives, legislation and institutions.

The processes for raising ideas and for selecting those to follow-up on, however became biased over time. One bias are the people that become activists. They have time … and nothing better to do. Usually not because they are suppressed, but because they are not eager enough to face the daily competition. Another bias is the media, that degenerated from the 4th power in the state to the 1st power of political propaganda (please refer to my blogpost “They f… your brain” for details). Finally if those movements succeed to raise funds (grace, furtherances), they receive more resources than they would have gained in a fair competition in a free market. Taken together this leads to the effect that minorities can impose their agenda on majorities. 

In other words: Liberal democracy enabled minorities to overrule majorities in distinct political fields. The number is not just growing, but it meanwhile even exceeded critical thresholds, making majorities realizing that they are tricked. Movements picking up the desire of the majority to regain control are typically denunciated as populism; proponents are stigmatized as populists, fascists, racists and nazis. Just because they pick-up the concerns of the autochthonous majority that does not relinquish power for free. Those tendencies will sooner or later break the European Union. The EU was strongly emphasizing liberal democracy, supported by exuberant legislation and supersized institutions. Autochthonous majorities leaving the EU (such as the British) or aiming to limit the power of the bloc by emphasizing the principle of subsidiary (Visegard nations, Austria) will lead to nation states that regain sovereignty. The EU will have to adopt to that - or it will become history.

Russia’s Putin announced in 2019 the death of liberalism as majorities are not accepting it. Of course he got blamed for that by EU proponents, but I think he has a point there. And I don’t see whether it should be his or Russia’s fault.

How to prepare for Climate Change.

Climate change is a complex phenomenon and can only be modeled. The complexity of such models usually correlate with the complexity of the phenomena to be modeled. In the current debate, the future of the planet is modeled by the amount of a single gas (carbon-dioxide, CO2). The model therefore is likely to fail, predictions based on it are likely to be inadequate. Instead of a well-thought approach, we get propaganda iconed by a girl who suffers from a mental illness. One major ingredient to develop momentum is that pupils can take free from school to run after Greta. Among Greta’s followers you also find folks from the radical left, prepared to use violence, such as the black block. The campaign is funded by her parents, which work in the field of media ... with strong ties to folks that is likely to profit from “green technologies”. Hence, technology reducing the emission of carbon-dioxide - which can include nuclear power plants and other technologies that exploit the planet / population in some way, while simply be low on CO2.

Bogus science and metal illness leveraged by manipulative media are currently dominating the public discourse.

Further winners are left-wing parties, that have the reduction of CO2 on their agendas. Effects become already visible in elections within EU member states. You will notice that they also use synergies to other items on their agendas, especially equality. They already criticize that climate change hits people along the strata in different ways. And they already demand to take from the wealthy ones and redistribute to the poor. New taxes are already on the way - sometimes even demanded by misled people. Please read my blogpost about Satanic capital to learn about the backgrounds for that leftist strategy.

Taken together, climate change is another great example why it is important to ask who is gaining from an initiative (”qui bono?”). If you are not part of the answer, you should be aware and beware.

Self proetction

But now let’s talk about protective action. You need to protect your mind, your wealth, your body and your beloved ones. In that very order, as each component must stay safe in order to be able to protect the following ones. 

To protect your mind you need to seek for proper information. With regard to science, you should rely on papers that provide a comprehensive view on climate change. Hence, models that not solely consider CO2 but also the status of the earth’s magnetic field and activity of the sun. Innovations and solutions should be sustainable. Nuclear energy is not and electrical cars are neither (Please refer to my posting “Electrical cars - the good guy badge for the 21st century” for details). I personally believe that hydrogen will play an important role and just recently German energy providers discussed a network for delivering hydrogen. But there might be other sustainable solutions out there. Quality media should consider report accordingly. From quality media I demand that they are aware of those aspects and not just tune-in into a media campaign. For the latter, Facebook would be enough. By relying on solid information an avoiding to draw attention to poor information, you can preserve your mind, while others run after a girl suffering from a mental-illness. The herd simply serves as Greta’s co-addicts.

You need to protect your wealth. In our modern, specialized society you need money for every good and service that you need. Especially for the following protection shields you will need to make investments and pay for intelligence and travelling. Wealth protection can only be granted by a sophisticated plan, taking into account international tax regimes. In this matter you want to consult proven experts. Wealth-protection also is about securing your income, bearing in mind that you may have to relocate. This can be accomplished in two ways: One way is to do business that you can do from anywhere, typically by working online (”Digital Nomade”). That includes eCommerce, Blogging, Coding etc. The 2nd way is to develop and maintain skills that are demanded everywhere in the world. Data Science is a current field that faces growing demand at least in the develop world and that has chances to keep-up that demand even during climate shifts (as data has to be analyzed in order to get to reliable forecasts).

Your body, or to be more precisely your health, needs protection, too. Depending on where you stay, the growing heat might demand more from your body. Maintaining a health lifestyle is therefore important. You should maintain high hygiene standards, including immunisation. In troical areas (and some areas might become that) you need to protect against mosquitos, as they can transfer diseases that you can not immunize against (for instance Dengue fever). An important pillar in protecting against mosquitos is a room that is dense, so that no mosquitos can intrude. In tropical areas that usually implicates proper a/c, so that you can sleep during night without opening a window. Where to stay (in order to escape negative impact), needs intelligence, which you need to buy from serious sources. Relocating there means additional costs. And starting a life in a new area needs upfront investment. Therefore, it is essential to protect your wealth and your income streams, as outlined in the paragraph above.

Maintaining healthy and sovereign is a prerequsitie for taking care of those whom you love. You need to lead them even through tough times that might be ahead.

All in all I dare say that Satanism is the philosophy of choice, especially today. Understanding the human creature, seeing the 3rd side and indulge life apart from the herd, is a beneficial strategy. Also or not to say especially in times of climate change.

(Avoid) Taking Drugs.

Drugs is a delicate topic. First of all please kindly note the Church of Satan’s Policy on Drug Abuse. Please understand that there is no support of the Church of Satan for Drug abuse. As a Satanist you are free to do what you want and there won’t be any sanctions. However there is no reason for a Satanist to take drugs in order to accomplish your goals. Drugs may rather hinder you getting there, as they distort your emotions, which can be seen as an important guiding instrument. We’ll come back to that soon.

Furthermore please kindly note that drug abuse is sanctioned by criminal laws in most (probably in all) countries around the world. In some countries the law on drug abuse, especially on dealing with drugs, is rigorous: In Thailand for instance you might face death penalty, which is also executed against foreigners.

Nevertheless the topic is addressed here, because many people are “indulging” drugs all around the globe and their number is growing. Drugs are propagated in many ways, also by “magicians” (just to be clear here: I am not referring to Satanic warlocks). Some esoterics propose to use drugs in order to experience “higher states of consciousness” so that you know what you are working towards when improving your “magic skills”. 

Well, that’s mere bullshit. 

The Doctor (Anton Szandor LaVey) was pretty accurate in his writings when arguing against drug usage with regard to skill development. No matter whether you apply lesser or higher magic, you always aim to make an impact on social reality. Drugs alter your consciousness, hence your perception of the social reality is distorted. Making an impact on a distorted derivate -or better: on an illusion- has nothing to do with the successful application of Satanic Magic. It’s simply the wet dream of wanna-be-esoterics or the illusion of misguided pseudo-spiritual-folks. Period.

I already told you about altered emotions, which can be seen as a contradiction to relying on emotions as an important guiding system that you have.

To be clear about it: Drug abuse won’t boost your performance neither as a warlock, nor as a human being. They may just serve as an induction of a virtual reality in that you are successful, while you ruin both your body and mind in the real world. Hence drug abuse is no more than an expensive wet dream of a kid running after an illusion - and probably ending up in a nightmare.

Nevertheless drug abuse is increasing. And I am not talking about street children and gang members only: regular consumers include medical doctors, brokers, investment bankers, lawyers .... that applies especially for cocaine, as those folks believe to become more capable and hence more successful by using the drug. I told you above about that fallacy for magicians, and those arguments also apply here.

A good read on cocaine in general is Roberto Saviano’s ZeroZeroZero. It’s not a scientific text, but an easy to read survey covering the world of cocaine and it’s impact on the real world. You will read about parallel societies controlled by the drug mafia, achieving a high monetary return. 

From a Satanic perspective, it is worth exploring the social phenomenon of cocaine a little further: 

First and foremost: It takes place, no matter whether there are criminal laws or Judeo-Christian rules (”sins”) etc. At the end of the day the human creature will follow its instincts. Instincts overrule rules always, at least in the long run.

Might is right: Mafia organizations engaged in the “narco wars” employ paramilitary units, bribe politicians, police, military. They rule in their “kingdoms” by the law of fear, they rape, the torture .... it’s against the law and it’s against Judo-Christian ideals: The Americas are Catholic - and they are the hot spot of the cocaine business.

Many stakeholders are involved. The poorest ones are the farmers that cultivate the coca plant: They risk of getting caught for the sake of providing a good education for their children. On the other side of the value chain are not just the mafia bosses but also politicians that justify their actions to fight drug abuse: If people would decide to legalize cocaine, plant, deliver and consume it in a controlled way (as some will always do so), the return on drug sales would implode. No more power to the mafia, no power to the politicians. There are shared interest among many groups, and each of them claims to just want to best for everybody.

Many after-life legends arise in the field of cocaine: Mafia bosses that were killed are said to be alive or even that they arose from the dead. If you seek explanations for Judo-Christian legends, you can find some there.

Capital and indulgence play an important role. Know about it, know about your instincts, make your decisions and you will be safe. Ignore the human nature and you might end-up as a victim of cocaine, no matter whether you wake-up in prison or in a clinic.

To shield yourself from that influence, I suggest that you follow the hints that I gave you in my Blog posting about “Avoiding Distress”. 

From a rational perspective, please consider that if you take a drug, you also interact with people that are part of a parallel world controlled by the Mafia. Even if you are just talking to minor ranks, those folks now knows that you consume cocaine, to what extent, when and maybe also with whom. If you need to get into the drug business to cover your financial expenses, they also know that. Valuable information that can be passed on to your enemies, but also to authorities that need to fulfill their quota in catching drug abusers.

If you still are curios about trying out drugs, set-up a proper risk management. That involves hygiene standards, experienced folks backing you and reliable sources of purchase. Please be aware that the stuff you buy on the street is laced and the substances used affect your body sometimes more than the drug itself.

NB: If you really try the drug, you will face withdrawal symptoms. You need to overcome them and you can overcome them, if you maintain a stable character, possess a strong will and stick to hints given to you in my posting about “Avoiding distress”. If you however lack one of those prerequisite and if you do not maintain a safety net, you might end up in a nightmare. I am not kidding.

Finally I am glad that I can tell you, that a Satanic Lifestyle including a thrilling sex life will provide you with more joy than any drug available on the market - and that joy is sustainable. I also can assure that natural, totally legal and harmless supplements are on the market that boost your vigilance. This Blog is no roadshow, so no advertisement here. But if you look what leading supplementary vendors offer, including those selling sports nutrition, you will find your way. 

So the bottom line is that you can leave drug abuse to misguided esoteric and spirituals and enjoy a Satanic Lifestyle instead - with the single purpose of living your dreams (instead of living in a costly dream that might pop any time).
