The 3 Laws of Satan

The World in which we live has been deformed and corrupted for many generations, so much so that it now appears to be completely upside down from its natural state.
The damage was inflicted by the means of politics, trade market, finance, criminality, power struggles, wars and many other things which we might delve more into in future chapters.
But why is the World upside down?

As usual, Numerology is here to help us.

From Hegel (and Kabbalah before him) we know that both Logic and the evolution of the Spirit of the World follow a very recognizable pattern which is structured in 3 main steps: Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis.
This is not only true in Hegelian logic, but in everything that involves the creation of some kind of entity, in this case a paradigm that can encompass all aspects of Reality for the average person.
In the context we're analyzing here, i.e. the activity of the Great Deceiver (also known as Trickster, Satan and Demiurge), we can also find the 3 main arguments which are used as the fundamental axioms of the complex deceptive framework underlying the corruption of our modern society.

We're going to call these "The 3 Laws of Satan":
1. Matter is fundamental. Consciousness emerges from Matter.
2. Objective Reality doesn't exist. Subjectivity is the only Truth.
3. Power is all that matters. Love is an illusion humanity created to get more Power.

These 3 laws are false statements of fact, fake truths, that evil forces in humanity's consciousness have subtly poisoned our minds with.
Let's explore them in detail...

1. Matter is fundamental. Consciousness emerges from Matter.

These two statements can be summarized as "Materialism". The claim has ancient origins, but has seen a sudden rise in popularity in the last two centuries.

Few philosophers of the ancient world proposed such ideas, in which religion and spirituality were confined to the realm of illusion and mendacity, and the only thing that really existed were minuscule fundamental blocks of matter that made out everything else in the Universe.
But the idea really took off with the Illuminism and the Scientific Revolution in eighteenth century's Europe.
The main reason for this was political and self-preserving; the first illuministic free thinkers and scientists were immediately shunned and censored by the Catholic Church, so much so that the Inquisition started burning books and torturing many of these new thinkers. Galileo himself faced retribution for his ideas, and was compelled to renounce his statement that the Earth moves around the Sun and not the opposite.
The first scientists were often alchemists, magicians, hermeticists, freemasons, and in general scholars of esoteric traditions and wisdom.
Newton is one of the more classical examples, as he was known for practicing esoteric rituals and alchemical experiments in-between his studies of gravity and his essays on mathematics.
Such studies were looked with suspicion by the dogmatic scrutiny of the religious institutions and severely sanctioned and censored when discovered.
