Subject: My task: The Book of Evil
Date: Fri Dec 30 13:08:59 2011
I was given the task of reading THE BOOK OF EVIL by Ibiza le Toad. The
first school of thought discussed within is anti=thesis. This is where
those who serve evil do the opposite of good simply for the sake of
appearing evil. It serves no purpose and brings about nothing more than
window dressing. The author refers to it as reactionary and brings up the
point that by living such a life one is defined by what is good. Thereby in
some ways defeating the purpose. Evil is what evil is regardless of the
actions or determinations of good.
Next the author looks at reflection. I have long felt uncomfortable using
the word unholy when referring to the Dark Lord. What makes him any less
holy than Austinian? A set of dogmatic beliefs and mortal born theories of
right and wrong? Our orders very founding is based on using the principals
of good and using them to further evil, especially to further the days of
prophecy. What is good? What is evil? Semantics. Merely words we mortals
have given to concepts far beyond the reach of our finite minds.
The author then takes a moment to refocus the reader on His Will and His
Way. It is simply a reproduction of the original document, but does do well
to lead the reader into the next section, Singularity.
Singularity could be described more easily to the lay person as singularity
of purpose. The author examines the motivation of the subject. For example
if one were to look at both good and evil one would find great similarity.
On the evil side one of the dungeon of Bloodlust may covet an obj ect and
murder and steal said item for his own greedy purposes while a knight of
Necrucifer would seek said item in a more honorable fashion . The knight
would only seek these things which would benefit Prophecy, his comrades, and
most importantly his God. His reward would be the furthest thing from his
mind. The exact same comparison could be made using The Wrath and the
knight of Gareth keep. The author finally points out that the lower evil
serves its purpose as well by acting as a distraction to enemies of evil
while the higher evil goes about its work.
Next the author calls into question the term darkness when referring to
those of a red aura. Evil is not goods little brother. It is a calling we
have answered and should be proud of. Good serves the needs of others while
evil serves the self. The difference is found when examining the lower evil
seeking instant gratification while the higher evil seeks to plan and serve
and work hard for a greater reward in the future.
Next we examine the principles of lower evil. Self Interest. This is the
basic motivation for lower evil. Gratifying the self with no regard for its
consequences. The self takes what the self wants. Self Preservation. Some
might use the word coward, but lower evil finds it useless to lay d own ones
own life for another. It goes back to self interest. How does it benefit
the self if the self is no longer in existence? Hatred. A very useful
emotion for lower evil. A driving force that leads one to fight longer and
harder and see that its will is served. Wrath. Quite similar to hatred.
Perhaps I would describe wrath as hatred made flesh. Falsehood. Many have
fallen victim to the lie. A forked tongue can do more damage than a spear
if well placed. Pride. Pride leads to confidence which leads to greater
determination to prove ones worth and g arner more acclaim. Prejudice.
Prejudice. Disregarding other belief systems that conflict with your own.
Apathy. The right of the self to not give care nor mind if it so wishes.
Perhaps leaving that injured woman to die on the road serves evil more so
than aiding her? Ruthlessness. Doing whatever is required to achieve ones
goals without regard to the safety or well being of others. Anarchy. While
Chaos has taken on a whole new meaning of late it does tend to serve evil.
Wantonness. To act without care. To not hold back in the pursuit of want
or desire. Avarice. Greed
Is a major part of self interest. Not only does the self seek to attain
it seeks to maintain. What does it serve the self to gain great riches only
to give it away for the sake of charity? Envy. The desire for the things
one does not hold but are held by others is a powerful motivator.
The author writes of higher evil in this way. Higher Evil adheres to the
Self but with restriction. They serve the self, but through submission to
Necrucifer who offers high reward for those who sacrifice for him in the
days leading to His return. Discipline. One must set aside earthly desires
and focus on serving the Master. The greatest rewards are held for those
who submit and serve. Diligence. A servant of Necrucifer must be
unwavering in his or her service. Control. Control over ones body mind and
spirit is paramount when it comes to the new order being established.
Order. Structure is important in any higher plan and purpose. Order must
be maintained. This relates also to discipline. Unity. All of the red
auras of this realm must come together and stand united when the day comes.
Obedience. It s important to know your role. Those who outrank you should
be feared and obeyed and those beneath you should be made to respect your
authority. Strength. The finger will break. The fist will destroy. Fear.
Fear as a motivator for the self as well as to bend the denizens of Algoron
to His will. Persistence. Never stop. Never give in or give up. The body
may perish the will will survive. Vigilance. Never let your guard down,
says the author. Stand strong and always be ready to defend your faith and
your self. Ambition. Put aside the childish desires of lower evil and
strive always for greater power through submission to Necrucifer. Devotion.
The willingness to follow the Father even to your own death.
