Deconstruction
Since the dawn of recorded human history there has been the concept of the human soul and an afterlife, the ideas of which are endlessly unbound throughout eternity. There have been many philosophical and religious definitions on these concepts over the millennia. In most cases, however, each is bound by faith in the grace of a singular supernatural omniconscious which is separate from and superior to our individual selves. This omniconscious has taken many forms over the course of human history including a variety of gods, the personified spirit of nature, and even extraterrestrials to cite just a few examples.
Whatever the form, they all dwell in the crucible of fallible human creation. It is in this creation of something greater than ourselves that we find inherent flaws and paradoxes. Consequently, humanity requires faith in order to justify the constructs which allegedly grant our consciousness immortality beyond our bodily existence. Furthermore, humanity has enslaved itself to these constructs over the centuries and thus created the most powerful meme complexes ever known simply for the sake of comfort and the fear of challenging the atmosphere of blind acceptance and apathy. The control of their lives rests in the hands of the omniconscious, not their own.
Conversely, there are those that dismiss or doubt the ideas of souls, gods, and eternal existence in any form. Through outright denial, agnosticism, or the apathetic choice to concertedly lack belief in anything, these people are the seemingly polarized opposite of the theist. In fact, they have more in common with their theistic counterparts than not. They too have trapped themselves in a world of absolutes enslaved by the notion that there is nothing beyond what they know. The unexplainable and supernatural are figments of overactive imaginations. They are therefore relegated to a closed existence of tedium and banal contentment. These people live detached lives and see no further than their own self-imposed mundane existence. Their lives are not burdened with the greater aspects or possibilities of the universe and they choose ignorance instead of pro-activity.
Regardless of any denominational argument for or against gods, faith, and the soul, the only undeniable truth with regard to them is that they’re all human constructs. In being human constructs, they are all subject to inevitable failure in the light of fact. The only path to understanding a greater identity of oneself is through pushing the boundaries of what is known to be fact. The only plausible search for immortality lies within the laws of the universe (or multiverse) as we discover them, and as we learn to apply them.
One proven constant within the universe is that everything that ever was, is, or will be is created out of energy. The wondrous thing about this fact is that you don’t need to be a quantum physicist to understand it. This energy in itself is immortal, but always in a state of effortless flux. We are all made of billion-year-old carbon that has been in a state of change, is currently in a state of change, and will change again when we die. What happens to the energy that comprised our body and mind when they cease to function? Most certainly, it reconstitutes into something else. However the questions it raises are many. Is it random or organized? What, if anything, governs the energy as it moves from state to state?
The answers lie right in front of our eyes. Without a doubt, however chaotic the universe may seem, it moves with purpose. Perhaps not a singular purpose, but the universe unfolds in the most effortless and productive way possible. There is an inherent order that causes the universe to obey certain infallible laws; motion, gravity, relativity, etc. Paradoxically, these laws break down at the subatomic level and create the entropic nature of the universe with laws that appear almost opposite to those we understand. We are just beginning to understand theoretical String and Chaos theory. Definitions of time, logic, and dimension break down and become distant horizons we strain to peek over. It is our task then to understand that we can tap into universal laws, energy, and entropy through exploitation of the nature of the universe and our own potential to manipulate these laws to our own benefit. Even if we don’t understand the details of the quantum universe, we can easily exploit its nature to our own personal benefit if we understand some simple basics. After all, our singular selves and the infinite universe are just expressions of energy. This is the key to satanic power, magic, and philosophy.
Reconstruction
Immortality is possible, and provable. How to manifest immortality lies within the understanding of our own godliness. As we begin to understand and focus on our own immortal energy, we can connect with the universal waves of both purpose and entropy and begin to use them to fashion our lives in the here and now however we see fit. It is in this relatively simple harmony with oneself and one’s surroundings that we achieve great things. Instead of spending a lifetime trying to understand the universe, we can spend a fraction of that time letting the universe understand us. In that action, we let the natural order of our True Self manifest and resonate with the seemingly infinite. The infinite universe WILL reply. Our thoughts and feelings can manifest our desires to whatever ends we see fit. These are not the unattainable goals of the selfless Buddhist who meditates upon enlightenment in poverty and shackled to an endless eternity of suffering or reincarnation. These are not the acts of guardian angels, pious messiahs, self-proclaimed prophets, or jealous gods.
Satanic power lies in the undeniable FACT that the natural state of the universe lies in abundance, pleasure, prosperity, and happiness. The Satanist realizes this and acts accordingly in all aspects. Power attracts power. It is neither good nor evil in nature; it is simply proactive or counteractive to the individual. This is not mystical hyperbole or new-age rhetoric. There is no need for faith in anything other than the individual, as the individual is the creator and god of their own reality. And as we gaze down the abyss of the unknown, might we find that we ourselves are synchronous, reciprocal, or even identical expressions of energy, dimension, and immortality?
