I see a recurring theme with the Satanists – both the explicit and the implicit kind. They have a fundamental misunderstanding of power, of hierarchy and of the reason why people act submissively with each other.

They think it’s tyranny, fear and power-dominance dynamics, because they are unable to understand anything else. That’s what makes them similar to Satan. He was like that, and he trained them to be in his image.

Satan would think it’s pathetic when a God would submit himself to another God instead of, I don’t know, making his own Universe in which they’re the only God, the way he did. That’s because he doesn’t get it, and he doesn’t get it because he’s fundamentally fucked up as a person. You see, I did write about it in the book, when Kay explains how she manages her omnipotence while retaining sanity. She observes her elders, and she sees how they think and feel, and the way energies move through their souls fills her with awe, and the only thing she cares about is to make them happy with her, and proud of her. Nothing else matters. Sure, she can stop or reverse time, or create another universe, or redecorate the original one, with a flick of her finger. She’s so smart, she makes the smartest people who ever lived tremble in awe of her. She doesn’t worship her elders because they are more powerful and they could theoretically punish her or whatever. It’s more in the order of a young physicist being in awe of Niels Bohr or Albert Einstein. It’s in the order of a man being in awe of an incredibly beautiful, smart and good woman. It’s not because he’s afraid of what she will do to him if he does something wrong – it’s the wish to make such a person have a good opinion of him. It’s being faced with a standard of goodness, greatness, kindness, virtue and wisdom that is so high, that the only thing you ever want to do is things that would make that person have a good opinion of you and love you. That’s what makes Gods and Angels shake with stage fright. That’s what creates the heavenly hierarchy. That’s what motivates service and kindness. That’s what makes them do hard things in order to prove themselves. It’s not fear of punishment, or desire to suck up to the person in power, the way Satan and his ass-lickers would imagine it. No, the motivation is more akin to that of a woman talking to her crush, and being so jittery that she’s half-mute, half losing her shit. When you’re in the presence of someone who’s so awesome that the only thing you ever want is be in their presence and just feel that immense Something, and that person is always kind, deeply understanding and deeply respectful of you, that inspires loyalty and devotion that are simply beyond anything you can theoretically understand unless you experienced it yourself, and unless you are virtuous enough to feel it. That’s why there are Persons of God who are powerful enough to make or transform worlds with a movement of their will, and yet they tremble in the presence of their Elders. Sure, it’s about power, if you understand that love is power, virtue is power, wisdom is power and kindness is power, and that power is what motivates, inspires, gives you a goal even when you’re omnipotent. It’s because the point of being a God isn’t omnipotence, it’s holiness, and holiness is something completely and utterly beyond Satan’s comprehension.
