It was discussed in the context of the Church of Satan and the dark side of the 1960s counterculture. The speaker (Jordan Peterson) had read it recently and was discussing its themes.
I was reading the satanic rituals this morning and back, you know, I'm old enough so I kind of caught the tail end of the hedonistic 60s, you know, I'm really a kid of the 70s and the 70s was where the 60s went to die.
So, in a strange way, you could consider that the Church of Satan was considered itself the counterculture to the counterculture because my father was really very anti-hippie, and so this is where it gets complicated because it doesn't fit into it doesn't fit into the stereotypical idea one has of Satanism in the occult milieu.
If someone smite you on one cheek smash them in the other don't turn the other cheek you smash them in the other uh you retaliate you get revenge and um if you teach this to your children and you're not kind and compassionate to your own children and you do something that jeopardizes their life again and again but then at one time that is really very precise and very clear what do you expect you know what do you expect to you think that you've taught retaliation you've taught revenge you don't expect that that's going to then come your way to if that's what your message has been all through the development of your child
he's got a list of gods and and demons and things that he considers satanic but but that's ridiculous because so many of those have nothing to do with satanism and it's just his his uh misinterpretation i would say of um really what he was doing is he was taking a christian idea of deities such as kali the hindu kali or the egyptian deity of set he was taking a christianized interpretation of these deities and just again inverting it and saying i'll satanize it i'll make it all about satan then
the whole point of satanism is exaltation of the ego that is at the core of the doctrine is exaltation of the years allow your ego to make the decisions do what your ego wants and just go with it and you'll feel better you'll have no guilt but the problem is the ego is also a false construct and it's it's also uh it will trick you and you'll do things that will then you know uh it will ricochet it will like boomerang back onto you
