The recent unveiling of the 9-foot, one-ton Satanic statue with admiring children--one of which is stabbed in the back-- in Detroit, sort of reinforced my belief, in a symbolic sense, that this is actually happening, not to mention the sympathy-for-the devil propaganda that seems to permeate pop culture including the new FOX show: "Lucifer". I have no doubt this show will be brilliant.

That's my take on it anyway, and the only "something that ain't right" that really counts, to me, is this one. The world has always belonged to satan....

No offensive, but what the fuck-ever. The only Mephistopheles is the archetype in my head. The rest of what you wrote rings true, in other words, resonates (for me). But to assign that kind energy to an outside entity, is just, I suspect, my inability to take responsibility for my own failings. My own personal demon, or Egregore. A reality construct of my own. Wilson says, "egregores seem to achieve sentience over time, and these may become independent of their creators" but I have yet to come to know that. Honesty, the only good I have ever know has been a meat puppet just like me, and the only evil I have ever known has been the same.

Actually I saw the trailer & it looks like it sucks pretty bad. The graphic novel it is based on is good though.

The Huxley quote is interesting. I had not seen it before. He does seem to be revealing something about the methods of social engineering, taking a profound truth and showing how it can be abused, as usual, by being used to empower the ego, the traumatized social alter.

I also think there is a deeper meaning to "freedom is slavery" than the one you are pointing out, D & C: that the social values being sold to us ~ such as the illusory idea of "freedom of choice" or "the pursuit of happiness" ~ are the "Luciferian" bait of ruling in hell, i.e., of being enslaved to our constructed identities, those shaped by trauma. The part of ourselves that will do anything not to re-experience that powerlessness, unconsciously align with the power of our abusers.

That's my take on it anyway, and the only "something that ain't right" that really counts, to me, is this one. The world has always belonged to satan....

Not because of religion or my religious upbringing--this puts me at odds with my Christian family and most of the Christians I know because they can't conceive of a world run by Satan even though it's pretty much stated in the Bible..."In the world but not of it" --but because of what I see now that I've opened my eyes. There is no question in my mind that the evil in this world trickles down from the top, that our world is run by extraordinarily evil people.

One of the most nightmarish things about a dark age is the degradation it entails for life’s overall tone, not least in the dehumanization that occurs when a people’s intellectual, emotional, moral, spiritual, political, social, and cultural life in general is reduced to a ghastly level of brutishness and ignorance. As is now plainly evident all around us in the industrialized world of present-day info-technocracy, this coarsening of life can occur even in circumstances of relative material prosperity. It doesn’t always have to be a dark age like the one that gripped Europe in the aftermath of Rome’s fall, when starvation and plague were rampant and most people barely scraped by at a miserable subsistence level. A dark age can unfold and exist right in the middle of outward conditions that may appear enlightened to those who don’t look too closely or deeply.

Sometimes it’s oddly comforting to dwell on the words of people who have seen today’s dark age of dehumanization unfolding. When it feels like the world is full of robots instead of people, or when it begins to feel like we really are living on the planet of the apes (as Robert Anton Wilson liked to put it), it can be a powerfully affirming experience to be reminded that other people have observed the same thing
