Most of it is a libertarian tract however he does mention the Demons as being really beings. Le Vay himself did believe in Satan as a literal God. As Aqunio wrote in his book from his time in the CoS Clergy. However Le Vay wanted to go with what Aqunio calls a social circus and not develop the CoS into a serious church. Aqunio and others left due to this and went into a spiritual direction. With the ToS. However they were not able to escape the Xian mentality. Also Set is not a lord of Darkness. He represents the force of life and the opening of the 72,000 nadis of the soul with the rasing of the serpent. He was the king of the Gods and the guardian of the boat of Ra. The soul. Who fought the serpent Apep which is not evil it just represents the soul in the lower octave of vibration before the opening of the soul to the life force. The Sanskrit texts state the soul that is not opened though practices is stuck in a state of stagnation and entropy. This is what Apep represents and what Set overcomes. His 72 companions are the 72,000 nadis.
