Blessed are the bold, for they shall be masters of the world - Cursed are the
righteously humble, for they shall be trodden under cloven hoofs! Blessed are
the victorious, for victory is the basis of right - Cursed are the vanquished,
for they shall be vassals forever! Blessed are the iron-handed, for the unfit
shall flee before them - Cursed are the poor in spirit, for they shall be spat
upon! Blessed are the death-defiant, for their days shall be long in the land -
Cursed are the gazers toward a richer life beyond the grave, for they shall
perish amidst plenty! Blessed are the destroyers of false hope, for they are
the true Messiahs - Cursed are the god-adorers, for they shall be shorn sheep!
Blessed are the valiant, for they shall obtain great treasure - Cursed are the
believers in good and evil, for they are frightened by shadows! Blessed are
those that believe in what is best for them, for never shall their minds be
terrorized - Cursed are the "lambs of God", for they shall be bled whiter than
snow! Blessed is the man who has a sprinkling of enemies, for they shall make
him a hero - Cursed is he who doeth good unto others who sneer upon him in
return, for he shall be despised! Blessed are the mighty-minded, for they shall
ride the whirlwinds - Cursed are they who teach lies for truth and truth for
lies, for they are an abomination! Thrice cursed are the weak whose insecurity
makes them vile, for they shall serve and suffer! The angel of self-deceit is
camped in the souls of the "righteous" - The eternal flame of power through joy
dwelleth within the flesh of the Satanist!

THE BOOK OF LUCIFER

THE ENLIGHTENMENT The Roman god, Lucifer, was the bearer of light, the spirit of
the air, the personification of enlightenment. In Christian mythology he became
synonymous with evil, which was only to have been expected from a religion whose
very existence is perpetuated by clouded definitions and bogus values! It is
time to set the record straight. False moralisms and occult inaccuracies must be
corrected. Entertaining as they might be, most stories and plays about Devil
worship must be recognized as the obsolete absurdities they are. It has been
said "the truth will make men free". The truth alone has never set anyone free.
It is only DOUBT which will bring mental emancipation. Without the wonderful
element of doubt, the doorway through which truth passes would be tightly shut,
impervious to the most strenuous poundings of a thousand Lucifers. How
understandable that Holy Scripture should refer to the Infernal monarch as the
"father of lies" - a magnificent example of character inversion. If one is to
believe this theological accusation that the Devil represents falsehood, then it
surely must be concurred that it was HE, NOT GOD, THAT ESTABLISHED ALL SPIRITUAL
RELIGIONS AND WHO WROTE ALL OF THE HOLY BIBLES! When one doubt is followed by
another, the bubble, grown large from long accumulated fallacies, threatens to
burst. For those who already doubt supposed truths, this book is revelation.
Then Lucifer will have risen. Now is the time for doubt! The bubble of falsehood
is bursting and its sound is the roar of the world!
