Introduction

These unholy scriptures are about pleasure and pain, and how we can learn from them. They are inspired by Clive Barker’s myth. The Cenobites in his myth inspired by S&M clubs, such as an underground club called Cellblock 28 in New York, where people were getting pierced for fun. His experiences made him want to tell a story about good and evil in which sexuality was the connective tissue.

The Cenobites are extradimensional beings who exist in an extra-dimensional realm that are Sadomasochists. They cannot different between pleasure and pain.

They can reach Earth's reality only through a schism in time and space, which is opened and closed using certain unearthly artifacts. The most common form for these artifacts is that of an inconspicuous-looking puzzle box called the Lament Configuration.

The Cenobites were once human. When they are chosen as worthy by an ancient entity in the center of the Labyrinth, they are transformed through body alterations where their flesh is cosmetically punctured and sliced and infibulated that are extremely painful.

The Cenobites all have horrific mutilations and/or body piercings, and wear fetishistic black leather clothing that often resemble butchery garments or religious vestments. They are depraved and indifferent and lack empathy toward the victims they torture. Their torture involves sensory overload. They exhibited no discernible morality or immorality, merely the unwavering devotion to their craft.

I used these allegories about how pain and pleasure plays a vital role in our life and how we can use it to our benefit to ascend to our greatest potential. There is a link between pain and pleasure in our neural pathways.

Enjoy these unethical unholy scriptures and indulge in the pleasures of the flesh.

Why do People Enjoy Pain?

We have such sights to show you.

Pleasure and pain threshold is subjective, it depends on the individual. The link between pleasure and pain is deeply rooted in our biology. For a start, all pain causes the central nervous system to release endorphins – proteins which act to block pain and work in a similar way to opiates such as morphine to induce feelings of euphoria. One may wonder why some people enjoy eye watering peppers, extreme workouts and sadomasochistic sex.

These endorphins produce feelings of euphoria. This is also why when we have a toothache, we will press our tongue against the infected area to increase its pain. By increasing this pain, we feel better.

Jason McNabb, who holds a world record for eating the most Bhut Jolokia peppers in two minutes, gave said, It felt like I had a mouthful of hornets stinging me all at one time. Candidly, it was like pure hell. The The Bhut Jolokia is 200 to 400 times spicier than a jalapeno. It's one of the hottest in the world, and anyone who takes so much as a nibble is likely to suffer excruciating pain.

People seek pleasure and avoid pain, but that isn’t always the case. McNabb admitted that the pain from the peppers produces a rush that is similar to that produced by food, drugs or sex.¹ McNabb said, The pain subsided pretty quickly and then it was just the high of the adrenaline and euphoria from the peppers,

This also explains the runner’s high. When one is intensely running, bursts of intense exertion release lactic acid, a by-product of the breakdown of glucose when oxygen is in short supply. The acid irritates pain receptors in the muscles, and these communicate their plight to the brain through electrical messages, sent through the spinal cord. The signals are interpreted as a burning sensation in the legs, usually causing the runner to slow down or stop. Then nervous system's control centre, the hippocampus, kicks in. This seahorse-shaped portion of the brain responds to pain signals by ordering the production of the body's own narcotics, endorphins. This helps block pain, but endorphins go further, stimulating the brain's limbic and prefrontal regions – the same areas activated by passionate love affairs and music. It’s a post-pain rush similar to the high of morphine or heroin, which also bind to the brain’s opioid receptors.

While this takes place, the pain of intense exercise also causes a spike in another of the body’s painkillers, anandamide. Known as the ‘bliss chemical’, it binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain to block pain signals and induce the warm, fuzzy pleasure emulated by marijuana. Adrenaline produces a response that adds to the excitement by raising the athlete’s heart rate. This may have caused our ancestors to endure the pain of a marathon hunt.

Why are some pain enjoyable and some we avoid because its too painful? One theory is ‘benign masochism.’ This is the ability of seeking out pain while maintaining the awareness that it won’t cause serious damage. Animals are incapable of doing this. This is why in the film Dune, Paul Atreides is tested to see if he is human when he put his hand in the box that causes pain. A human can resist where an animal would react and withdrawn from the pain.

When it comes to BDSM, an erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, and some involving pain, there is a safe word the masochist uses to let the sadist know when to stop. This requires trust. The masochist must trust the sadist knowing that the sadist isn’t going to cross the threshold that will cause real damage.

A Catholic friend of mine was concerned if it was demonic that her friend wanted her to spank him with a wooden paddle. I explained to her that he trust her and knows she really wouldn’t hurt him, and that the spanking is not really hurting him. This made her feel better.

Pain is an uniquely form of indulgence. Scientists have tried, and failed, to induce a preference for chilli in rats. Animals have been trained to self-harm, but only by ‘positive reinforcement’, in which animals are taught to associate pain with a reward. Generally, when an animal experiences something negative, it avoids it, explains Paul Rozin. This is why we seek roller-coaster and watch sad movies. If an animal took a roller-coaster, it would never ride it again.

BDMS, isn’t the only link between sex and pain. One study, in which researchers used fMRI to visualize the brains of women as they stimulated themselves to climax, found that more than 30 areas of the brain were active, including those involved in pain. Research also found that cancer survivors, who had nerves in their spinal cord cut to relieve chronic abdominal pain, lost the ability to have orgasms. If their pain returned, so did the orgasm. There’s a fundamental link between pain and orgasm pathways. Another observation is that the facial expressions during orgasm are often indistinguishable from those in pain, said Barry Komisaruk from Rutgers University,

The Scarlet King

What is the Scarlet King? In Lewis Carol’s story, Through the Looking-Glass. The Red King is sleeping, and Tweedledum and Tweedledee state to Alice that she is part of the Red King's dream and she will go out—bang!—like a candle when he wakes. The match ends by Alice's checkmating of the king, an action coincident with the taking of the Red Queen. In the final chapter of the book, Alice acknowledges that the Red King had, after all, been asleep throughout the whole game, and is left wondering whether the whole experience was her dream or his.

The Red King or Scarlet King dreams us into existence. If he woke up, reality would cease to exist. He is Azathoth in the Cthulhu mythos, also called the Blind Idiot God. In Greek gnosis, he is the Demiurge. In the Platonic, Neopythagorean, Middle Platonic, and Neoplatonic schools of philosophy, the demiurge is an artisan-like figure responsible for fashioning and maintaining the physical universe. He is also the Blind Idiot God, a creator of reality who is blind to its true nature and has woven a nightmare realm from his own selfishness.

Another name for him is the Yaldabaoth or Flesh God. He is also called Hudun, in Taoist mythology. He is the unintelligent creator force. Like Yaldaboathh, he is a hostile creative power that seeks to trap mankind, but to blind to see it.

Under the name Azathoth he is Nuclear Chaos. Nucleus meant the core of something, it’s center and by extension it’s very being. The nuclear chaos alludes to Azathoth’s all pervasive nature that makes him more than a distant disorder. The madness that is Azathoth, the thing that is at the bottom and center of everything, giving existence to all things, is insane. Utterly idiotic and insane.

Of course he is a metaphor for existence and not conscious at all. This is also a metaphor as a Blind Idiot God who is an unconscious force that all existence manifests from. We are part of that existence and because we don’t realize this waking life is a dream, we are also blind like Azathoth.

The Blind Idiot God also symbolizes a meaningless, atheistic, nihilistic universe ruled by coincidence and blind laws rather than by any kind of intelligence that cares for humanity. It can be called Mind, but that doesn’t mean it was conscious mind. Mind is mathematical waveforms and frequencies.  It generates existence like the autonomic nervous system keeps our heart beating. The zero isn't the complete absence of anything it is the source singularity, the perfect harmony of all opposites. The imbalance of opposites is what generates frequency. Even at zero balance which exists before the so called big bang, the code always existed. This perfect balance is the Void.

Another name is Abraxas. Abraxas is life and death at the same time. truth and lying, good and evil, light and darkness in the same word and in the same act."  It is the monad, all that exists is a collection of monadic collective. The material world is just a shared dream of the monadic collective- the collective of all minds. When the universe was mathematically generated, one forgets, similar to an author so in grossed in the story, he temporally forgets he is the author and identifies as one of the characters in the story.  As a metaphor he is all good and all evil, the opposites, the yin and yang.

When we literalize this as an external being, we are then trapped in the enslavement of our mind. When we recognize it as part of us, we can use it for progress. It can benefit us or destroy us.

In Clive barker myth, it is the Leviathan. Even though Azathoth is Nuclear Chaos, Leviathan is obsessed with law and order, and views the human realm of flesh as chaotic and wrong. It uses the Cenobites as its foot soldiers in the war against chaos and flesh. The Labyrinth which it presides over represents the maze of the mind. Abraxas is both chaos and order and Leviathan represents the law and order polarity. He is the force in the center of the Labyrinth.

Leviathan descended to man in his dreams, whispering to him the keys of logic in the secret language of science that could only describe the vision that burned in his mind - of tolls, of machines, of weapons of all things glorious and magnificent. Leviathan showed man how to use these against his world, that he may bring all life around him to its knees, bend it to his will and destroy all that stood in his way.

Leviathan has the power to create any Cenobite in any way, shape or form it sees fit to fulfill its purpose. When a damned soul first lays eyes on Leviathan, it appears rather innocuous; a simple and perfect geometric shape spinning at the center of its world - his world. Yet when its black light falls upon a human, his presence slips inside, a liquid shadow seeping through every pore, penetrating every orifice. The sinner feels every sin and wrongdoing they have ever committed. When it finally passes, it knows more about that individual than they know themselves.²

It feeds on the souls of those that are brought to Hell, but are deemed unworthy to become Cenobites. It has been shown that he has the power to trap someone in an infinite memory loop where he can reset it at any time.

This Black light is a metaphor of our introspection where we begin to know ourselves. When we become trapped in the Labyrinth of our mind due to guilt ect, then we become overwhelmed with our own faults which is repetitive in the mind, like a hell loop.

Why Scarlet? Scarlet is the color of blood, Cardinals in the Catholic Church and represents the blood of Christ and Christian martyrs. Therefore associated with devotion, and sacrifice. Scarlet is also associated with courage, passion, heat, and joy, anger, inflammation, lust and strength,

It is also the color of pleasure and pain. Red is commonly associated with passion and eroticism—just think of the Red Light District, red roses, red lipstick, red wine, or the Lady in Red.
