1) Ok, so I was right about that one, it does go against the flow of spiritual evolution. I am going through a phase where I am having to calibrate my judgement about many things, (and dropping it entirely on others where accurate judgment and knowledge isn't possible for me rn) so this is helpful!
So that basically makes Satanists the contrarians by excellence. I've always thought that Satanists feel very attached to (and thus strongly reject as a response) God and Christianity while thinking it is something different.
2) And thanks for the other info too! I don't know why I had the idea that Bon was Buddhist, perhaps given its similarities, but a quick search suggests that it is pre-buddhist, while using elements from Buddhism.
Regarding demons, I didn't know they were smarter than us, I have heard you say it but hadn't put thought into it, it makes sense, they must've had much more time to use their intelligence than we have while they wait for their time of final redemption.
I have a cautionary tale about the silly-little-human. A well intentioned and actually talented African magician from Cameroon came to me (I don't know how) begging me to please help him because he offered several fluids to demons in offering. I don't think his magic worked but the act brought a nasty obsessive vortex that basically begged spirits to mess with his mind. He is gullible and books convinced him.
I did a divination for him and just by that rapport I got nausea. When I prayed for him (with his permission of course) the lights of my car went out and dogs started barking at me when I got out of the car... Fortunately I did a banishing on the spot with force and then I got birds singinging. So not even helping people attacked by demons without proper guidance and training is recommended. Albeit, prayer worked well, he is doing better, but I got tangled with him and his non-sense for a few weeks listening to him confessing in guilt and looking for guidance on how to do magic safely. (Since I am no expert, I directed him to your FHR material, I hope that is okay?)
