The Blame Game


"Now that I'm a Satanist, who can I blame for my problems? "

You. :)

It's one of the funny things about humanity, our psychology, and those Three Selves that make up the sum of an individual. When something bad happens, when things get fucked up, we want to, we seek out someone to blame, a reason this thing occurred that protects our perception of who we are.

I firmly believe that our Idealized Self is best represented by the God and conception of God that runs around our own individual mindspace. So most have an idealized version of themselves that is perfect, but who isn't really "in charge." They have a God for that, a Creator.

So the end result is they're not to blame for anything that happens in their life. It's the economy that caused them to lose their job, it's women that fail to understand what a catch he is, their parents are the reason they're crazy.

And we live in a Blamer culture. Everything from the media to the Government plays this game. A subtle bastardization of the idea of cause and effect that strips away our inner power, the fact that all of us can be Self Sovereign, hidden and obscured.

So if you're a Satanist and you believe you're a God, your own Master, who did it? Whose to blame for the things in your life that are fucked up? You.

Now this idea sits in such an antithesis to the norm, few get it. And honestly, the self professed Satanists that are always eschewing that level of responsibility or view themselves as perfect, I don't view as Satanists. I don't feel they get the Day One lesson found in TSB and the Chapter The God You Save Could Be Yourself.

The whole point of that is well, save your fucking self. It's not society or someone else's job to step up for you, rescue you, defend you, or support you. You now take all the blame.

It's a rabbit hole realization that should bleed out and infect every aspect of your life. Your physical defense, financial stability, lifestyle, health,  romantic relationships, etc all on you now. Rather you succeed or fail, on you now.

And that includes strengthening the areas your deficient in, realizing you have those flaws and either fixing them or living with them. Not everything viewed as a flaw by contemporary society is a flaw , sometimes it's just who you are. That also has to be realistically assessed and evaluated.

And you have to realize you are to blame. The way you acted triggered the situation. Even if the other person is bat shit crazy and projecting their failures and inadequacies on you. You still did something, somewhere to cause that. Finding that way you are to blame, can help you identify the areas to work on, or give you a glimpse into another's psyche few things can.

So now that you know you are to blame, watcha gonna do about it?
