11 appear to be similar to LaVeys' idea of Love and Hate but I feel they are different and should possible be interpreted differently. Crowley as Levi looked on Love in many different ways. At one point in Magick Liber Aba (book four-parts I- IV) he speaks about how Love does not really exist below the Abyss. He also goes on about how when Love is not perfect, it is a illusion and dangerous, yet says one should learn from it to "be worthy of that perfect love"(3). This appears to go against his statements of "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law"(4) and "Love is the law, love under will"(5). When Crowley speaks about Divine Love, he calls it "a universal solvent and harmonizer"(6) with no limits. This part aligns itself better with his well know two statements. How does a Satanist whom reads Crowley put his own ideas about physical human love in regards to his personal will and desires into a paradigm of what Crowley was talking about Especially since many Satanist claim to be their own God and thus Divine. Is the best way to understand Satanism and Love in regards to your own personal system just to follow your inner voice, will and ignore the words of others Is it the opening of oneself to new experience and dangers that feeds ones' ego and desires Is it the experiences and knowledge (of Love) gained through rational and irrational acts and forces of will that make an individual more stronger physically, mentally and magickally
12 Satanism and Self-Actualization One of the great struggles that one encounters in life is the struggle to achieve something more. The inner drive or force of will that separates an individual from the crowd. It is the realization that one is not happy in a simple content existence. It is the recognized inner struggle to progress and proceed forward towards being and accomplishing all that is possible for that individual to achieve. It is also taking this gained knowledge and understanding when is the best possible time to use it. Abraham Maslow’s theory of self-actualization states that, "Self-actualization is a never ending process that moves in a dynamic sequence upward through a continuum. The higher the individual processes, the more "profound happiness, serenity, and richness of the inner life" he or she finds"(1). Anton LaVey’s book the Satanic Bible, explains his theories and philosophy of living and succeeding as an individual in today’s world. LaVey states that, "One of the magician's greatest weapons is knowing himself; his talents, abilities, physical attractions and detraction's, etc., and when, where, and with whom to utilize them!"(2). In discussing their individual theories, both Maslow and LaVey try to put their ideas and theories into simple terms that can easily be understood. It is this understanding of terms that focuses on a recognition of the individuals' path or steps that on must follow in order to become a more fully developed individual. Maslow presents a hierarchy of needs that he feels most everyone has the ability to follow. He explains his five basic steps in the path of self-actualization as a hierarchy of need. "The hierarchy of need implies that the lower needs have been adequately satisfied before higher needs emerge. The process is epigenetic in nature… in which one item builds upon another in space and time"(3). Maslow believes that once you start becoming self-actualized, you continue on to try to reach the B-Values. The B-Values include "the need to know (truth seeking) and aesthetic needs (beauty-seeking)"(4). LaVey did not believe that everyone could follow or understand his theories and philosophy, he believed that the masses of humanity were mostly sheep that were content to live in blissful ignorance of the possibility of achieving more. LaVey wrote, "we have made no grandiose promises of infallible enlightenment and emphasized that each must be his or her own redeemer. That the extent of one's superiority (if any) is
