Protestantism may be the hidden grammar of the American Empire, but Satanism is the hidden grammar of Protestantism.

Conspicuous by its absence from Todd’s list of foundational revolutions was the revolutionary decade of the 1640s in England, which preceded the Glorious Revolution by 40 years. Todd, for some reason, omitted the prime example of the Revolutionary spirit in both England and New England, namely, the Puritans, who are doubly significant because of their overt and obvious link to the Jewish revolutionary spirit, but also because one of the most famous Puritans was John Milton, the man who wrote the Protestant epic Paradise Lost, which portrayed Satan as the patron saint of Protestantism. Both William Blake and Percy Bysshe Shelley believed that Satan was the hero of Paradise Lost:

They both critiqued Milton’s Satan by finding several imperfections in Paradise Lost. Both tried to surpass Milton by creating their own perfect version of Milton’s Satan. Shelley goes a step beyond Blake when designing his Satan by producing a new tragic hero that does not have a hamartia.[46]

Being is communion.

Hell is the Fall into the prideful self.

Question:

Who am I and what am I to do?

The Subject cannot know itself.

The Subject cannot know others.

The Subject cannot become itself.

THUS

The Subject is self- conscious.

The Subject is conscious of Others.

The Subject maintains its identity over time.

The Subject is nor what it is.

Consciousness is the consciousness of something other than itself. (G Marcel)

He who lives to the self shall die and he who dies to the self shall live in eternity.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Pray for your own discovery.

Compunction

Repentance

Metanoia

Kenosis

The joy of self -forgetfulness and the fulness of being.

Political Aporia

The extreme of personal freedom (neo-liberalism unchained from the moral order- solipsism, scepticism, materialism, nihilism, Do as though wilt, Satanism of the West) against the extreme of  Obedience ( submission of the individual to the fascist State, Marxism, Socialism, Fascism, )

What is the mediation- autonomous understanding and obedience to love/self sacrifice- Kenosis.
