Ignorance is harm. Harming another Mans health, wealth, and freedom is unjust, and Man will reject those actions if they are in a healthy mind of knowing what is Good. It is ignorant to harm, yourself or others. In order to fight ignorance, one must first establish that they understand the Good. When you understand the Good, you must then learn the Wisdom to teach what it is, and how to be it. When Wisdom fails, you have to protect yourself from the ignorant, and the first line of defense is to separate them from you, because you do not want to harm them. If they are harming you, and will not see Wisdom, and continue to harm, then you must defend, and that requires force. This is the conventional Wisdom of people that believe in their version of Good, and we cannot seem to agree on this Good. That is why many of us are in a state of denial, and ignorance, and contest, and submission. Man needs to establish the rules of Good- and that is the purpose of any orderly attempt at Law. Some would say to allow ignorance, but this is ignorant as well, because one day, the ignorant will come for you. The role of a saint is to defeat ignorance and declare Good, a True Good, that will bring peace and prosperity to Man. The magician, the good ones- begin by examining Chaos; they do not work to promote it. Though it is True that we are in that state, and that it provides a certain fire for our evolution, the day will come when it is no longer necessary to watch Man burn.

Heres a letter I wrote to someone elsewhere
Im sure you understand the argument that the "lower" drives are more animal in nature. People will submit to this being the way things are, and do the "animal" things like lust, and fight, and argue, and condemn, and hate, and kill, and all the things animals will do when they arent being cute and furry. The idea of an Alpha is typical of the reasoning behind people wanting to embrace their animal drives- they like the power of authority and command it gives them, and in a lot of ways, the strong will get their way- whether it is by force of by intelligence, the best person will lead. When I say language can stop us from this, Im saying that if you contemplate on the higher virtues- like the Tree of Life, or the fact that desire leads to suffering- and when you can stop yourself from your wandering lustful ways that cause all the conflict you say you tolerate because its natural, then you find that the reason for language is so that we can identify what is Good, and become it. Doesnt is simply make logical sense to say that killing is wrong? That is just one way we defeat the lower animal impulse that comes from lust and hunger. Its pretty easy when you think about what peace and health bring to human life- why should we want to sacrifice our health? Most thinkers call this enlightenment, but the pagan mind says enlightenment is to give in to this law of nature- they see no reason not to, because in their eyes its natural and just, but I have to ask, do the Gods of language agree? Isnt language and reason and recognizing our surroundings and situation lead us to wanting safety and not violence? Isnt that a truly enlightened mind? Yes, we are animals, but we can control it with our Will- we dont have to possess animal Will, we can possess the Will of the peacekeepers, for if we do not, then we are at the mercy of the violent, the strong, the unjust- and do you want to accept that Law? You will die by the Law you live by, and you will pay for what you tolerate. You may not believe in salvation in a spiritual sense, but how about a physical one? Certainly you can see the benefit of such thought. I know for a fact that there is a force in the mind and body that moves us to participate in the animal nature, and I dont deny them their place in life, and the power to influence our actions. These beings have been named a lot of things but the most accessible one in the West is Satan. What is Satan? He is a sensual being- choosing to lead by the pagan drives. He is chaotic, because he provokes a lot of conflict and random knowledge that cant be met with the same reasoning- basically that each person is their own law based on their own understanding. He is also destruction, because peace and prosperity come from working together, not separately. Until you have carefully examined the lustful mind and see how it degrades the value of emotional and intellectual health, you will not understand the message of those that fight it. Imagine making love to produce children than to satisfy some observation of the form or characteristics of your mate. That isnt love making, it is violent, and violence in any form is against the safety and dignity of human life. This is the first step towards acknowledging that we are inherently causing our own anger, hate and war because we dont honestly connect to the reality of another living being. We will never defeat Satan until we can defeat these animal drives, and we will never satisfy the Gods until we prove to revere and respect life. Satan is not God of knowledge or life, he is god of death and confusion. You will die by the God you choose, and so will human beings. We ARE animals, and if you read philosophy as I assume you do, you will see that the great thinkers recognize that this is something to tame, not embrace- for the good of yourself, and ourselves.

The True religious mind is inflamed with a passion that understands their subjective experiences from an objective understanding of what to do to bring this world closer to peace, love, health, fairness and innovation.
