Satanism and Race

By ONA (1991)

Satanism and Race The purpose of this MS is to explain traditional Satanism in relation to "race" since it is an unfortunate fact  that most non-Initiates of  this particular  Left  Hand  Path  reveal a total lack of un-derstanding of the topic, and see the use of a particular tactic by traditional Satanists as a part of the Satanist ‘world-view’.

The fundamental strategic (or ‘long-term’) aim  of Satanism  is  to elevate  the consciousness of all individuals [Regardless of race] to at least what is now described by ‘Adept consciousness’:  i.e.  to liberate the  individual,  internally  and externally,  and so create a new type of human being  - someone who has achieved the next stage of our evolutionary development. The way of traditional Satanism  -  its  rituals,  techniques, ordeals  and  methods  -  is  a  means  to  enable  the  development  of this liberation within the individual. However, this way requires commitment and a self-effort over many years.

Further, traditional Satanists do not believe that the way itself can be made any easier - that is, there are no ‘short-cuts’ to achieving real Adeptship and beyond. It is not a question of someone accepting a dogma, of being ‘converted’ to a religion, or of simply performing magickal rites. It is acomplete change of one's way of living, a total rejection of the many  presently existing structures and  forms  which  stifle  our  potential  and  which hold  individuals  in  thrall,  often  unconsciously.  In brief, Satanism is revolutionary.

Because of this, the achievement of the ultimate Satanic goal or aim will take a long time - many  centuries,  if  not  millennia.  Satanists  are  both  pragmatic  and  rational:  they  have  studied  the processes of  evolutionary  change  as  these  relate  to  individuals  and  have  devised  means  to  aid  the achievement of  the ultimate goal. They  know the realities  which pertain,  and their assessments of means or tactics are practical. They eschew the mystifications of most of those Involved in Occult-ism  just  as  they  are  not  dreamy  idealists  who  trust  in  some  ‘ineffable’  law  or  supra-personal  en-tity/Being to do their work for them. They are practical, calculating and if necessary ruthless.

The reality is that Aeonic energies - i.e. that ‘force’ which creates an evolutionary develop-ment of consciousness - are presenced, on Earth, via a specific aeonic civilization. That is, that such evolutionary change is achieved by means of such a civilization. At any one Aeonic period (which lasts  from  between  one  to  two  millennia)  only  one  such  civilization  exists  and  is  creating  large-scale  evolutionary  change.  When  that  civilization  declines  (when  the  Aeonic  energies  of  the  par-ticular Aeon are waning) there is presenced another type of  Aeonic energy, which thereafter gives rise to another aeonic civilization, and thus further changes.

Presently, the civilization is the ‘Western’ or Faustian one, and this civilization, like all ae-onic  civilizations,  should  end  in  Imperium.  This  Imperium  is  part  of  the  evolutionary  process  of change.  Such  change  occurs  mostly  by  the  majority  within  that  civilization  being  motivated  (un-consciously) by the ethos or Destiny of that civilization - i.e. they create change without being con-sciously aware of what they are doing. A few individuals know what is actually occurring - i.e. they have an understanding and insight greater than the majority. These few are the genuine Initiates of 21esoteric  traditions.  This  knowledge  gives  them  a  certain  power  -  for  they  can  use  it  to  produce changes  according  to  their  desires/aims.  In  effect,  they  are  the  secret  guardians  of  evolutionary change.

Hitherto,  aeonic  change has  been  natural  -  a  process of  organic  growth.  With  each  aeonic civilization, there has been a slow evolutionary change toward greater consciousness and thus indi-vidual growth. But this change is very slow, and only a minority have achieved any real progress in terms of achieving the potential inherent in us all as a species.

Genuine  esoteric  traditions  are  a  means  of  making  this  change  more  widely  available,  of consciously  altering, speeding-up,  the natural  process of  evolution. This process of change,  is not, however,  linear  it  is often of  the  "two  steps  forward,  one  (sometimes  two)  steps back".  And,  fur-thermore, it is finely balanced-it can easily turn into a regression.

Satanism understands the archetypal symbol of  ‘Satan’ as the archetype for positive evolu-tionary change. However, the present aeonic civilization, the Faustian or Promethean one (or, eso-terically, the Satanic one) has suffered a distortion of its ethos or Destiny. In the simple sense, the civilization has  become  ill  and  a  consequence of  this  is  that  its  Imperium  is  unlikely  -  that  is,  the evolutionary  change  which  that  Imperium  would  have provoked  is  unlikely  to  occur.  One  of  the most significant changes caused by the Imperium would have been the colonization of outer Space and thus the creation of entirely new societal structures.

The sickness of the civilization may be described, in simple terms, as a return to a restrictive dogmatic  view of  the  world  -  and  one  which  has  undermined  the  Destiny  of  the civilization.  One facet of this dogma is the Nazarene religion and those social and political forms which derive from it. Again expressed simply, this sickness undermines the vitality of the peoples of the civilization -turns  them  away  from  external  achievements  of  an  Imperium  type,  such  as  exploration  and  con-quest  of  new  environments,  and  instead  towards  themselves.  The  outer  world  is  forsaken  for  the problems of the inner.

Traditional  Satanism  regards  the  achievement of  a  Promethean  Imperium  as  a  step  toward achieving  the  ultimate  Satanic  goal.  After  that  Imperium,  not  one  but  many  other  civilizations would have arisen due to the expansion beyond the confines of the Earth. The ultimate goal would have perhaps been realizable within a millennia.

To achieve Imperium, there has to be within the majority of the peoples of the civilization, a sense of Destiny - they are vitalized by that Destiny. At this stage of our evolutionary development, the  majority  are  still in  thrall  to archetypal forms -  they  are  still  motivated unconsciously, still not totally aware. That is, they are still not whole, unique, individuals. They are part of the wyrd of the Aeon  and  thus  the  Destiny  of  the  civilization. This  is  the  reality.  Imperium  cannot  be  created  by words - by rationally convincing others; by simply believing in it. It is created by numinous action among the majority - by that majority being led by a charismatic minority, and in by individuals of charisma who believe they have a Destiny. In effect, these charismatic individuals embody the Des-tiny of the civilization itself. They embody the unconscious hopes and aspirations of the majority.

At this stage of evolutionary development, this Destiny must and can only be in its origins a racial one: derived from a sense of superiority, aninstinct. It cannot be derived from abstract ideas - they are dead, and while they may sway a few, they can never persuade the majority and enable that majority to excel and so create something far beyond themselves.

This  is  the  practical  Satanic  assessment.  To  create  Imperium  -  which  of  necessity  means countering the sickness of the civilization - it is necessary to give practical form to certain powerful instincts. It means using the peoples of the civilization as instruments for Aeonic change. It means returning them to what would have been the natural outcome of the civilization had not the majority of them  fallen prey  to the sickness.  In  brief, it means a resurgence of a sense of  racial superiority within Europeans  -  and  the creation of societies which embody  this belief.  It means  racial separa-tion in order to give a sense of Destiny and thus vitalize the majority.

This, however, is a tactic from the Satanic point of view - a means to achieve Satanic goals, via the Faustian/Western/Promethean/Satanic civilization. At this moment in time, only this civili-zation  with  its  technology,  is  capable  of  achieving  the  goal  of  colonization  of  outer  Space  -  this technology has to be vitalized by a sense of exploration among the majority.

Thus,  Satanism,  as  part  of  its  sinister  strategy,  may  encourage  those  forms/beliefs/groups and  so  on  which  express  this  type  of  Imperium.  For instance,  present-day  ‘extreme  Right  Wing movements’. In this, Satanists are being sinister - they are not expressing or supporting such views, as ‘racism’ for instance, because they believe them, but because they know those views may or will aid their Satanic goals, in particular by countering the Nazarene sickness of spirit.

Thus, one  thrust of  Satanic  action, in  the  real  world  that  is,  of what Satanic  Initiates do to presence the dark forces - at this present time is to aid the creation of such an Imperium and create world-wide  conditions  which  would  enable  its  aims  to  be  fulfilled  (e.g.  in  terms  of  strategic  alli-ances with other countries not part of the Imperium).

This Imperium, however, will not be a purely aggressive one which seeks the destruction of other, non-European, races. Rather, it would seek - once its own structures were secure to encour-age other races to  exist  and flourish  within  their own nations,  and then ultimately,  a  Federation of such nations (all of whom respected each other) to enhance the goal of Space exploration. That is, the world would be re-organized on the basis of strong, independent racial States - there might, for instance,  be  the  creation  of  a  Black  America,  occupying  part  of  what  is  now  the  USA.  This  re-organization is based on the realities which exist in the world now. It is a solution to the problems which if they are not solved in this way will ultimately lead to a severe evolutionary downturn.

Hence,  another  thrust  of  Satanic  action,  in  the  real  world  at  this  present  time  is  to  aid  the creation of such States based on race - e.g. they may be support for ‘Black Muslims’ who desire a separate nation in the USA and elsewhere. This  outline  of  global  Satanic  strategy  is  of  necessity  brief  and  somewhat  oversimplified. But it should enable the tactics that  are sometimes used  to be understood  in context. Of  necessity, these tactics are sinister - they may provoke or cause strife; possibly violence; perhaps death; some-times ‘law-breaking’. Often, the tactics are revolutionary. But they are all means, to achieve Satanic goals,  and  Satanists  using  them  -  or  influencing  others  to  use  them  -  know  what  they  are  doing. They  understand the  strategy,  the ultimate  goal,  and  by  so  acting  in  the  real  world  they  are being Satanic.

Genuine Satanism means this change in the real world; it means Satanists actually acting to achieve things. Perhaps  getting blood on their hands either directly  or indirectly.  Pseudo-Satanism means  fantasy: role-playing;  taking up ‘ethical’ positions one  actually believes in.  Genuine  Satanists are a-moral.

Satanism accepts the reality as it is - and then uses that reality to re-structure it,  to change it, in accord with its sinister aim. The reality of race, of instinct, is as it is - it can be used to achieve things.  Others  impose  projections  onto  the  world  - they  wish  and  need  to  believe  that  things  are other than they are: that individuals are other than they are. They are hopelessly idealistic, unblood-ied by the realities of the world. In short, they do not understand power. Satanists, on the contrary, know how it really is in the real world.

Thus, racism - whether White, Black or whatever - is a means, a tactic used by Satanists to achieve first a European Imperium and then what is beyond that Imperium - a Federation of strong, independent  countries  whose  goal  is  to  continue  the  Space colonization  that  the  Imperium  began. Thereafter,  there  is  a  new  Aeon,  in  reality,  and  a multitude  of  new  aeonic  civilizations  -  and  thus the  achievement  of  the  ultimate  Satanic  goal.  Of  course,  all  this  means  struggle,  conflict,  wars, deaths, upheavals, over decades and centuries. That is, the presencing of the dark forces to achieve something evolutionary.

The  reality  behind  these  tactics  is  Aeonics  -  which  is  a  means  of  rationally  understanding the seemingly complex processes of change from Aeons to civilizations to societies and thus to in-dividuals.  Aeonics  is  an  esoteric  knowledge,  and  one  which  is  increasing  as  new  insights  are gained.
