postmodern Satanism

cosmology relevant to the Current, if they are relevant in the firstplace? I.e. could M-Theory's 11 identifiable dimensions becompared/connected with the 10 Sephiroth of theKabbalah/Qlippoth, with the 11th dimension being a transcendenceof the 10 dimensions/Sephiroth?A: When I was at the stage of personal occult development where Iwas feeling out my cosmology, I toyed with the idea that the elevensephiroth (including Daath) were a reflection of the eleven proposeddimensions of superstring theory. But I was making a categoricalerror in understanding both the mathematical notion of “dimension”and the esoteric notion of “emanation” (the meaning of the Hebrewword sephiroth). Often, we are apt to try a “force-fit” when presentedwith a suitable conjunction. Needless to say, I am of the currentscientific opinion that superstring theory is hopelessly flawed, in thatit too misunderstands the concept of dimensionality. And also thatesoteric glyphing schemes, such as the Tree, are metaphor at best. Toanswer the first question, scientific advancement is a product of theCurrent, but neither delimits it nor is limited by it.Q: What is soft Satanism, and how is it a threat to real Satanism?A: Soft Satanism is the view that Satan is a god like unto theChristian god. That he loves you, listens to and answers prayers, ispersonal and interactive - in short, that the Master gives a shit. It is aradical misappraisal of exactly what the Current is, and the mannerin which the spiritual departs from the categorical and material.Often, if not always, it is to be found among those who were at onepoint nominally Christian, and who remain ideologically so. All that’smissing is a dead man on a stick. As to whether it’s a threat - onlyinsofar as it deceives those who are capable of deception, in otherwords, not at all. See other comments above - nothing can be athreat to the pure Satanic outlook, for it rests on facticity alone.Those who “get it” and use the gnosis for personal attainment aregraced by it, those who don’t remain ignorant, shackled, andotherwise fodder for the turning wheel.Q: Why do you term yourself a Satanist rather than a Luciferian?A: Both are applicable, for the Current is dual - see above. As forwhy the linguistic choice of “Satanism” rather than “Luciferianism,”it is a simple case of logical priority. Or, I could be honest and saythat there is a further level of “shock value” and “name recognition”.
