What is peace?
To think upon peace, one must think upon war. War is called, & often considered, as a type of "conflict". So, to approach peace, one must consider conflict and its conditions. Strip sentimentality from all concepts of peace and what does that leave us, but a structured thematic, often imposed or perceived, based upon the contingencies, consequences, and byproducts of action? Quintessentially, this is a mode of stabilization, a 'peaceful' eradication of a conflicting Otherness into a state of harmonization. Whether such a harmonization requires unity or solidification is another argument; the conception, at the moment, is upon the status of peace, which means that harmonization, the stabilization of variable otherness towards particular continuity, is a condition of domination; certain principalities, whether singular or multiple, exist within a space void of antagonistic deconstruction and this mode, this particularization of synthesis (for variation has given way towards an overall conditional state allowed to sustain itself), is a moment of tranquil co-existence possible only underneath the domination of a set of correlatives. Thus, peace is not possible without making, and continuing, war against variables which threaten stabilization. To be at peace is to be at war. War is peace. Peace is conflict.
To consider a world of peace, one must consider a world of death. Is not peace a state in which a thing does not exist? Peace requires the dissolution of antagonism; by the removal of an opposing Other, peace is attained; thus, peace requires and relies upon Death, in whichever form it may take. When the Great Other is disjointed, evaporated, then Peace reigns. When conflict ceases, peace thrives. Thus, to become at peace, the Great Other must die. To be at peace is to embrace Death. Death is peace. Peace is Death.
To embrace a world of peace, one must embrace sacrilege and the profane. By desecrating that which threatens the conditional stabilization of a given state, peace becomes the undoing of a threatening Other. Thus, to become at peace, one must profane and commit blasphemy against that which opposes ones spirit. The laws and themes of social constructs reign about consciousness; to be conscious is to select which memetic structures shall persist. Thus, to be at peace is to oppose, in ones own spirit, against memetic demonization which lessens experiential, mystic, practical learning and perceptions. The Churches of that which seeks your damnation must be dismayed, and considered beneath ones own subjugation; war against captivating theology and philosophy and sociology becomes second-nature within any mountain of peace. Blasphemy is peace. Peace is sacrilegious.
Thus, from above, one sees that peace requires blasphemy, death, and war. Peace is, it appears, not very peaceful after all; peace is simply another name for a sentimental state of domination. Even if man throws down the blade, one can still pick up the pen; even without physical tools, mankind still has their voice and thoughts; thus, our very existence itself is a creation of natural war and divine conflict. To exist is to be at war with that which tries to continually subjugate spirit. The persistence of peace necessitates the perpetuation of a War, ontological, metaphysical, ethical, conceptual, actual, against an Otherness that demands subservience.
When one thinks about history, there are discordant divulgences and dominating narratives, both of which convince themselves of their righteous views for the perceptive collective. In this, any honest genealogy upon historical structures reveals systems of conflicts; what is historical and contemporary are dominant directives, memetic structures in conception, predicated upon constraints of systems of power within any given consequential environment. Since history is written by the victors, and authors have powers to create new histories, then what we know as historical is really a narrative of prescriptive dialogue which throws down other prescriptions and declares its sovereignty; truth is a measurement of power, and power is, in one aspect, a measurement of the means of conflict.
Thus, to become peaceful, one must embrace War; the path of the Satanist is one of Blasphemy, Death, and War. If peace is this triadic state, a stability of heresy, a harmony of ontological revolution, a dominating particularization against subjugation, then peace is an active state and not a passive condition; to be peaceful requires attentive conflict which seeks the mediation of dynamics towards specificity of continuance.
