But personally I agree that the sacred texts whose outer aspect is in dire opposition to the inner ones, and are in the use of profane also, are extremely dangerous. This is so important a fact that I repeat:

It is useless to claim that because there is some inner level, outer level's problems do not count. This becomes more and more important fact now when the world has lost its distances, and context-defining cultural separations will never again be possible as they were.
This is a big part of my personal Satanism. To go against the outer form, but not against the inner, esoterically disclosed non-apparent meaning.
My personal emphasis is to draw focus for the non-apparent inner meaning of, say, Bible in order to see through the outer – more apparent and expressed – form. A sort of black aspect refocusing on that which is central and vital, and not giving too much attention to that which is not. This might actually be seen naive in the sense that discussing from such a distanced point of view offers the hand almost solely for those who have the same kind of temperament. Thus it is certainly crucial to note the importance of actually going through the karma of the outer interpretations, to serve the Goddess in all of her colours / voices. This is another aspect (partly the same actually) of Satanism: to actually be a devotee of the Goddess and take even the demonic sides of it under ones wings (guidance). Infact it seems to be almost a prerequisite to have, at some point, acknowledged the small karmic goblins of a text, or anything really, to be able to focus on the inner meanings (to work from the core of spirit) without it being self-serving or giving the reins to the goblins without noticing it oneself. Some of such goblins seem to reside largely on the area of psychology and particularly playing with the shadow, in a Jungian sense of the word. What I mean by playing is the idea of how in folk beliefs house goblins or house elfs (tontut) tend to misplace items in the house, i.e. pushing things to the area of shadow in a mischievous manner. There are atleast two sorts of missing items: those that we forget until we find them again, and those the value of which is emphasised in the moment of realizing its missing. Such goblins pointing the karma we have to work into clarified vision might indicate that some selfreflection with ones psyche must be worked to clear the waters between the spirit and matter, or perhaps the temptations in the desert, just pointed through a Dostoevsky quote in
another topic, yet await the perfected answer (for example worldly political ideas, selfishness etc. blurring the clarity of the vision).
I quite like the idea of learning from goblins and other mischievous beings to reach through the process of apocatastasis. Such cozy ideas can help tremendously when the path is exceptionally difficult and agonizing.
