Here are the excerpts - "Satan is viewed as a positive archetype embracing the Hebrew root of the word "Satan" as "adversary", who represents PRIDE, carnality, and enlightenment, humanity's natural instincts which Abrahamic faiths have wrongly suppressed". According to High Priest Peter H. Gilmore, Satan is "a name for the reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will". [6] In LaVey's book, The Satanic Bible, the Satanist's concept of a god is described as the Satanist's true "self"— a projection of his or her own personality, not an external deity. [8] Satan is used as a representation of personal liberty and individualism.[9]
