enlightening man about his true personality. We are living in an era of intellectual awareness
unlike any the world has ever seen.
This is all very well and good, BUT - there is one flaw in this new state of awareness. It is one
thing to accept something intellectually, but to accept the same thing emotionally is an
entirely different matter. The one need that psychiatry cannot fill is man's inherent need for
emotionalizing through dogma. Man needs ceremony and ritual, fantasy and enchantment.
Psychiatry, despite all the good it has done, has robbed man of wonder and fantasy which
religion, in the past, has provided.
Satanism, realizing the current needs of man, fills the large grey void between religion and
psychiatry. The Satanic philosophy combines the fundamentals of psychology and good,
honest emotionalizing, or dogma. It provides man with his much needed fantasy. There is
nothing wrong with dogma, providing it is not based on ideas and actions which go
completely against human nature.
The quickest way of traveling between two points is in a straight line. If all the guilts that
have been built up can be turned into advantages, it eliminates the need for intellectual
purging of the psyche in an attempt to cleanse it from these repressions. Satanism is the only
religion known to man that accepts man as he is, and promotes the rationale of turning a bad
thing into a good thing rather than bending over backwards to eliminate the bad thing.
Therefore, after intellectually evaluating your problems through common sense and drawing
on what psychiatry has taught us, if you still cannot emotionally release yourself from
unwarranted guilt, and put your theories into action, then you should learn to make your guilt
work for you. You should act upon your natural instincts, and then, if you cannot perform
without feeling guilty, revel in your guilt. This may sound like a contradiction in terms, but if
you will think about it, guilt can often add a fillip to the senses. Adults would do well to take
a lesson from children. Children often take great delight in doing something they know they
are not supposed to.
Yes, times have changed, but man hasn't. The basics of Satanism have always existed. The
only thing that is new is the formal organization of a religion based on the universal traits of
man. For centuries, magnificent structures of stone, concrete, mortar, and steel have been
devoted to man's abstinence. It is high time that human beings stopped fighting themselves,
and devoted their time to building temples designed for man's indulgences.
Even though times have changed, and always will, man remains basically the same. For two
thousand years man has done penance for something he never should have had to feel guilty
about in the first place. We are tired of denying ourselves the pleasures of life which we
deserve. Today, as always, man needs to enjoy himself here and now, instead of waiting for
his rewards in heaven. So, why not have a religion based on indulgence? Certainly, it is
consistent with the nature of the beast. We are no longer supplicating weaklings trembling
before an unmerciful "God" who cares not whether we live or die. We are self-respecting,
prideful people - we are Satanists!
