I see Satanism as the philosophy, the tool of the superman, or at least the potential superman.
I see it as the philosophy of greatness and leadership.
I hope that I am not stupid or naive enough to believe that I can just declare myself a God and then sit back and think I can actualise that without deeds or praxis or actually doing something and learning and evolving and moving forward.
Everyone will be cut down to a size and a shape under the pressures of the world.
I still maintain that I can be the centre of my world, of a subjective universe which I can more or less bring into being through my intelligence, talent and drive.
I personally find this viewpoint and its accompanying practical efforts to be deeply adversarial, particularly in a society which just demands that I think alike with others and do alike with others.

Circle reasoning? No, not really.
I will attempt to explain.
I have more or less systematically dispensed with the ideological/religious conceptions regarding my humanity. I am a carnal animal. I find this correct understanding of myself to be an adversarial one at a deep level and I find it inspirational.
I recognise that I am the outcome of thousands of years of evolution, and that thousands of generations of my ancestors successfully survived and helped to make me who I am. I find this to be inspirational as well.
I have more or less systematically dispensed with the ideological/religious conceptions regarding the nature of reality and the purpose/being of living organisms. I replace God, and natural rights conceptions with will to power as the ultimate reality. I recognise stratification and hierarchy as objectively valid.
I see good and evil as objectively or universally untenable due to the scrapping of the religious conceptions I have undertaken.
The way is now paved for me to assume a form of Godhead and state that I have the right to determine questions of good and evil myself, subject to accepting the consequences for my choices. I no longer give this authority to an outside God, which does not exist, but rather adopt it myself. This is ethical I-theism.
I go one step further: I state that I can be the centre of a unique subjective universe of my own. A unique picture of what I want, of what I see. Instead of seeing the world and myself and my picture of the is-to-be the way an outside God wants me to see it, I take this myself for myself only. This is yet another type of I-theism.
I live in the real world and I am subject to stratification and hierarchy just like any other living creature is and so I will reach a certain level and that is where I will dwell, success wise etc.
Does this make sense to you? There is nothing circular about this.
Theism will only come into this if I can apprehend my I-theism metaphysically or in terms of reality. I have not apprehended it in this way at this time. If I did (and who knows maybe I will some day, who knows) then that would constitute the adoption of some other view of reality, but again I have not apprehended I-theism in this way at this time.

What makes me great? Because I am me.
I have been a painter and hold two post-grad degrees.
I have been a short order cook and a dishwasher and have cleaned up vomit at times.
I have been a thief and a burglar, through a wish for adventure and a good shot of adrenalin.
I have been a treasury and money market banker and have worked with hundred's of millions of dollars a day. I have held responsible leadership roles in the corporate world.
I have been a teacher, and I have been been a political activist.
All of these roles I have had may be perceived by you as not superhuman, but they are superhuman to me.
If others can exceed these roles and satisfy themselves than good on them. If they can evolve further than I can then good luck to them.
You may ask me to substantiate my claims with evidence, but this I cannot do, as I can't risk exposing my identity on the internet right now.
My reality is unique to me and the world is fresh and waiting to be understood, perceived and its forces marshalled in my favour, as far as I can marshall them. I don't need you to substantiate that you are just like everyone else, for that was precisely my point.
You espouse to follow the way of leaders and be a step above yet in your day to day you seem to be no different than anyone else. Every christian, muslim, and jew feels special in their own head as they go about their slave routine, following the rules and living as they are supposed to.I really can't see how this sort of 'mindspace Satanism' sets you apart from they.
