Giordano Bruno, Great Philosopher, Scientist and Satanist

Bruno was born in 1546 in Nola, which is a small town near Naples. This was in the time of the dawning of the revolutions in astronomy and also in natural science. Copernicus, for example, had just published (in 1543) his book; De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri VI, in which he affirms the sun and not the earth, is the center of the universe, with the planets circling the sun.

This book challenged the Roman Catholic Church's (most powerful organization of the time) views and teachings. The middle 1500's was a time of revolution, great thinkers were rising up in natural science and in philosophical thought. It was an exciting time, men of that day travelled a great deal, spoke many languages, exposed themselves to many ideas.

This is what happens, I think; when people are completely shut down by a tyranny, told what to think and what not to think....this conditioning can persist for centuries...but in one generation, as though a volcano erupts, great thinkers and movers appear and light up the night sky, people who challenge the crushing dogma and lay a foundation for modern science. I think the fact that these events happen speaks to the inherent greatness and genius of humanity, our essential inner spark defies convention, yearns for truth and freedom, refuses to bow down. The embodiment of the will and desire to be free, which is Satanic.

Bruno is and should be, listed as foremost among these; he was the brightest star to appear in the all pervading gloom of that time of oppression. He was like a Herald of the Dawn, the Light Bringer. He championed the Copernican system of astronomy, opposed the exhausting and devitalizing oppression, mind control and authority of the church and its dogma. His life stands as testament to the drive for truth, knowledge and the freedom of thought necessary to explore and to discover. He was passionate and brilliant. He was known for his profound insights, great knowledge and memory.

Copernicus inspired Bruno who was excited by the concept that all those stars he saw in the sky at night might actually be other suns, with planets like ours rotating around them....people like himself on those planets......the universe must be infinite! What a liberating concept!

He was educated as a priest at the monastery of Saint Dominico. He eventually became a dominican friar (which I would add meant he was in a minority of people who were able to read both latin and Italian. Latin, in particular, was the language of an elite group, Italian the language of the people).

What happened was he was very intelligent, and eventually his reason rebelled against the dogma of transubstantiation: which is a teaching of the catholic church meaning the whole substance of bread in communion changes into the substance of the body of christ and the wine into the blood of christ.

Which is a ridiculous notion. Also cannibalistic. It's no wonder he rebelled.

Inspired by Copernicus, he wrote and published (around 1584) in his mid thirties a book entitled "Dell Infinito, universo e mondi" ("Of Infinity, the Universe, and the World"). His book did not sit well with the church, to say the least. What is most emblematic of Bruno is his tireless appeal to reason and logic rather than parroting religious dogma and refusing to think for oneself, as the basis for determining truth, which is what makes him a Satanist, even if he didn't think of himself as such:

“He who desires to philosophize must first of all doubt all things. He must not assume a position in a debate before he has listened to the various opinions, and considered and compared the reasons for and against. He must never judge or take up a position on the evidence of what he has heard, on the opinion of the majority, the age, merits, or prestige of the speaker concerned, but he must proceed according to the persuasion of an organic doctrine which adheres to real things, and to a truth that can be understood by the light of reason." (1)

Giordano Bruno, De triplici minimo (1591)



Satan has told us to doubt everything.



Bruno's ardent and earnest discussions of philosophy such as this earned the admiration of the most advanced thinkers of his time and the hatred of the Church, whose authority was being jolted to it's core by intellectual assaults such as these. The Copernican system challenged the church 's cosmological views and teachings; it also challenged the rigid social hierarchy of feudalism. The churches view of the universe with earth at the center served to reinforce the rigid order of serfs at the bottom and the pope at the pinnacle.

This was considered dangerous think by the church who feared that if their view of cosmology could be challenged, it was a short step to challenging its position at the pinnacle of society. People might begin to question. And the church was already being questioned. For example in 1517 martin luther nailed his ninety five theses to a church door in Germany which denounced the practices of the roman catholic church leading to the protestant reformation. And in 1542 the church established the roman inquisition to enforce its edicts of heresy (the crime of speaking against the churches doctrine) with torture and execution.

Bruno came to the attention of the authorities for his unorthodox religious views while still a student. He utilized his time to acquaint himself with philosophical works of ancient Greece, which was when he also discovered Copernicus. He was caught reading philosophical texts annotated by the dutch humanist philosopher Erasmus and, knowing he'd be denounced, skipped town and for the rest of his life, he wandered Europe, promoting and teaching his ideas. He is described as a philosopher, astronomer, occultist and magician.

He believed and taught that the universe is spatially infinite, possessing an infinite number of worlds similar to earth. It has been stated by science daily that there may be as many as six billion earth like planets in our galaxy.

He talked about how substance can neither be created nor destroyed. This is quantum physics.

He stated that the Earth and the stars are animate (possess rational souls). And while I can't prove this, I also believe it.

He stated the human soul is to the body like a pilot is to a ship. I know from just over a decade of study and practice of lucid dreaming that this appears to be correct.

He claimed evidence exists that there were humans before Adam and Eve. The bible indicates the earth is only three to six thousand years old, meanwhile the us military found evidence of a technology (and thus civilization) that dates to the last time Antarctica was free of ice. Which was 34 million years ago.



When Bruno stayed in Paris he wrote three books, two on mnemonics and one a play in which he denounced the church. Giovanni Gentiles observation of the content of the play is as follows:

"You will see, in mixed confusion, snatches of cutpurses, wiles of cheats, enterprises of rogues; also delicious repulsiveness, bitter sweets, foolish decisions, mistaken faith and crippled hopes, niggard charities, judges noble and serious for other men's affairs with little truth in their own; virile women, effeminate men and voices of craft and not of mercy so that he who believes most is most fooled—and everywhere the love of gold." (2)

Sounds like an accurate assessment.

He was forced to leave France, lived in England for a while where he wrote six more books, all in Italian, in which he really went into detail on his philosophical and scientific ideas. He published in the vernacular, that is, in the language the common people knew, in order to make knowledge more accessible. This was an affront to the church, of course. They were trying to limit wider dissemination of intellectual discourse by publishing only in latin! So this really pissed them off, no doubt. The printers were so afraid they didn't identify their printing houses in the books.

A German philosopher had this to say of his work:

"This doctrine ... was the first and decisive step toward man's self-liberation. Man no longer lives in the world of a prisoner enclosed within the narrow walls of a finite physical universe. He can traverse the air and break through all the imaginary boundaries of the celestial spheres which have been erected by a false metaphysics and cosmology. The infinite universe sets no limits to human reason; on the contrary, it is the great incentive of human reason. The human intellect becomes aware of its own infinity through measuring its powers by the infinite universe."(3)

Bruno's other works included a scathing indictment of the church and its repression. In this passage from theology to philosophy all forms of religion got harsh treatment but none more so than the roman catholic church. His six dialogues in Italian are considered a turning point towards the philosophy and science we enjoy now in the modern world. The ability to believe as we do now, he was denied and paid for with his life.



In 1591 Bruno was lured to Italy by an agent of the church and seized by the inquisition. He was interrogated and tortured for seven years in prison, before they finally charged him with eight acts of heresy. These charges have never been made public to this day. And Bruno refused to cooperate with them; he refused to recant!

A witness to the sentencing reported that when he was sentenced; he said:

"I neither ought to recant, nor will I."

and

"In pronouncing my sentence, your fear is greater than mine in hearing it."

immediately after the sentence of death was announced (Feb 16th 1600), they pierced his tongue with an iron spike, clamped his jaw shut with an iron gag, securing it in place with another iron spike into his palate. And then they wrapped some cloth around his head to stem the flowing blood (hence some reports say he was gagged) and he was forced to walk like jesus to his cross to the Campo dei fiori where a stake awaited him and a pyre. whereupon he was tied to it upside down. And they then lit the pyre and burned him to death, naked, before a gaping crowd.

Can one even imagine the horror? Seven long years of torture, deprivation and pressure to break down and comply; but he didn't. The utter loneliness of his situation, the physical and mental agony he must have endured and the terror? The final agonizing walk to his death in the Campo dei Fiori, knowing what was to come?

What courage he possessed! To defy those tyrants to the end! He was a brave and noble man. They offered him a crucifix just before the end, trying to get him to kiss it.

He refused.

What the church did to this man of reason and science was beyond barbaric. This was a crime against humanity, because it wasn't just a crime against Bruno, but a calculated move to stifle anybody else who might dare to think for themselves. Oppressive tyrants use intimidation, physical force and censorship. His written work is still to this day on the Vatican's forbidden texts list.

This is what tyrants do to attempt to silence people. They made an example of him in order to cow everybody else. So the violence wasn't just against Bruno, but all who witnessed this and heard of it.



But that day I thought only
of the loneliness of the dying,
of how, when Giordano
climbed to his burning
he could not find
in any human tongue
words for mankind,
mankind who live on.

Already they were back at their wine
or peddled their white starfish,
baskets of olives and lemons
they had shouldered to the fair,
and he already distanced
as if centuries had passed
while they paused just a moment
for his flying in the fire.

From Czeslaw Milosz, Compo Di Fiori




The church didn't succeed in silencing Bruno, because in 1849 a monument to him was erected in the square where they'd executed him, just over 400 years ago now. The pope had it torn down, of course.

But guess what? Another monument for him was put up. It's a beautiful sculpture by a roman sculptor named Ettore Farrari. Bruno's image now stands on a pedestal in the Campo de Fiori where he met his brutal end. The pedestal holds medallions in remembrance of other free thinkers also persecuted by religious fanaticism. The brutes who did this atrocity's names are dust, while Bruno's courage and his story live on.

His statue has become a symbol of defiance. Defiance of the pope, the church and it's dogma and most importantly, an enduring monument to FREEDOM.

I studied Bruno he was not a Satanist he published his works they are still around he was a neo Platonist who wanted to return to the philosophy of the Hellenistic world and drop Christianity. Satan is a part of Christianity as well. The dark side of Jehovah, Jesus.

Great sermon HPS Zola! More evidence that people were thinking like Satanists long before the foundation of the Church of Satan.

Satanism is anti-tyranny.

The Satanist would rather die on his feet than live life on his knees.
Satanists have free souls that refuse to be tamed. Therefore, Satanists will always oppose tyranny on every level.
Tyranny means oppression of ideas, rights and free will, it is oppression on every level. If there is one thing Satanists hate and despise it is tyrannical oppression. Freedom is Satanic and Satanists will lay down their lives to defend it.

With tyranny, murder and terror is the order of the day. The tyrant has full control and unquestioned power to do as he pleases. It is a form of rule by one. Life under tyranny is unfair and unjust, oppressive to the extreme.

Of course, those who have a slave mentality will see nothing wrong with this. It's the perfect system for them as they love being told what to do and how to live. They feel safe and secure within the group. Tyrants know this and seek to introduce ever tighter and tighter control over the sheep in the guise of 'safety'. Slaves thrive under tyranny, but Satanists are not slaves.

This is why Satanism is a threat to those who wish to maintain control over the minds of the masses. Freethinkers are capable of questioning authority and that is bad for business. Freethinkers do not make obedient slaves.

When we look at the message of the bible and Quran, it becomes clear what religion is really about. Christianity has nothing to do with morals and values, right and wrong. Instead, it is all about blind obedience.


The Book of Satan
The True Philosophy of Satan page 30

Those who have freed their minds and continually seek the truth are fearless. They speak the truth even when confronted with immense opposition and even death. It is these very people who unbeknownst to themselves have become leaders, role models which others will naturally emulate.

Whether they are aware of it or not, these people have started a chain reaction and sent ripples through an oppressive system. Without being aware of it they have inspired others and assumed a vitally important part in regenerating society. Give us liberty, or give us death.


The Book of Satan
The True Philosophy of Satan pages 33-34

Blind obedience starts with our religious beliefs that form the foundation for how we think, act and behave. It then spreads out like cancer and starts consuming all other areas of our lives. It follows us into politics, the workplace and our daily lives. Now it should be clearer than ever that we are not saved by faith and obedience to god. Instead many of the problems that plague our society can be remedied if one can just pause and think for a moment. We are saved by doubt and rational thought.

The Book of Satan
The True Philosophy of Satan page 78

Quoting Bruno:

“He who desires to philosophize must first of all doubt all things. He must not assume a position in a debate before he has listened to the various opinions, and considered and compared the reasons for and against. He must never judge or take up a position on the evidence of what he has heard, on the opinion of the majority, the age, merits, or prestige of the speaker concerned, but he must proceed according to the persuasion of an organic doctrine which adheres to real things, and to a truth that can be understood by the light of reason."


This man said himself to doubt and to think for oneself; to be rational. This is Satanic. He laid down his life to oppose tyranny. This is why they made an example of him; to cow the masses. It was to enforce blind obedience. They used torture and terror. They murdered him to shut him up. And this man opposed them. Even at the end, knowing he was going to die horribly and all he had to do to save himself was to comply with the tyrants and kiss their cross, he refused.

He died on his feet, rather than choose to live on his knees. And in doing so became a symbol of freedom of thought. The tyrants who did this to him; their names are dust. But he, what he stood for which is freedom of thought, lived on.

I said he probably didn't think of himself as a Satanist, but he exemplifies the Satanic tenets: to doubt, to use ones reason and to always look for the truth.

Which he did.

Satanism by definition is following this entity called Satan [Samael-Azazel] who fell to rape human women in the bible. And in other tales works with YHVH as his other half to trick and deceive humans to then punish them for Jehovah. Jehovah's vice cop working to entrap humans for breaking YHVH laws. This starts with Adam and goes on with Abraham and Job in the Bible of the Jews.

Satanism is not a philosophy its a strange Jewish magical system that involves evoking these entities and working with them. Then they Jew you over.

People should study Judaism deeply to understand what Satanism is. It always revolves around this entity Satan and its other half YHVH. This Satan even Jews over all Gentiles on Yom Kippur because the Jews bribe it with massive blood sacrifice of humans and animals. So it goes to Jehovah and then accuses Gentiles of all the sins the Jews have committed that entire year and lies to YHVH and states the Jews are sinless. YHVH the all knowing god or something then believes this lie and lets the Jews go un punished and punishes the Gentiles instead with its Hebrew wrath.

Who is Jewing who anymore with this strange Semitic stuff. However Satan agrees to Jew over all Gentiles for Jewish bribes.

What happened was low info Christians who were literate enough to read some of the Bible read the tale of Edin and built this phony mythos around it. And since Christianity is a confused variation of Jewish theology mixed with ancient Greek philosophy no one knew any different. The amount of mistranslations of the Bible shows the Christian authors didn't even understand the native language of Hebrew and Aramaic. If Bruno was Satanic he would be working as an agent of the Pope to entrap people with police operations while taking bribes from entrapped Jews to look the other way and passing their blame onto innocent Gentiles to arrest and punish them instead, in-between raping women.

Here is the true definition of Satanism: A philosophy of self worship, ego veneration and self empowerment which values the dignity of the individual.

You mentioned that you worship a higher power, and this higher power is Lucifer. This "Lucifer" speaks to you, you are his mouth piece. Lucifer warned you that Satan and YHVH is the same entity. Well Don, I don't believe you. I can never follow a higher power or look to a God for guidance. Because Satanism has shown me that there is no higher power. The power is, and always was inside me.

Of course, if you want to believe in a higher power, feel free to do that. We welcome all kinds of people at T4S and encourage them to express their beliefs.

The people who created it the Jews. I spent years studying their own texts, books and lectures by them on their own religion on assignment by the JoS. That's why the entire Kabbalah exposed site is all my work in actuality, Nick's rants don't mean anything.

This only highlights the lack of any factual evidence to make a coherent argument on your part that Judaism is wrong on Satanism which is part of their religion. Your resorting to complaining about me, so what.
