Oh For Fucks Sake, Really?

Warning: slightly hypocritical rant incoming.

I keep seeing the same thing over and over again and I am sick to death of it at this moment. I feel disgusted to be associated (even loosely) with you group of clowns. Over and over again it's Anton LaVey said, Anton LaVey thought, the CoS says blah, blah, blah.

Why the fuck does it matter what any other motherfucker in all of history said about something? How does that summarize the should and should nots of Satanism? Isn't the whole fucking point to develop a world view based on Patheo Mathos? Did I miss the memo where people stopped talking about their opinions and their perspective and started basing every goddamn thought they have on what someone said something is or isn't?

I don't see people evolving or changing, I don't see people's perspectives becoming refined through encountering their own boundaries and surpassing them. I don't see individuals becoming something different. I see parrots, I see puppets and I see the constant and continuous ghost of Satanism past being used as a reasoning for Satanism to be something akin to dressing like an idiot, grouping and having a big ole' collective group think jerk off, and individualism.

Please, please stop the shit already. I want to read what you think about something, maybe a personal anecdote thrown in for good measure. That's about it. I don't want agreement with my perspective, you ain't me, you ain't walked my path and you don't know why I believe the things I believe and what I have done to develop that particular perspective. I don't want to see you jump on some intellectual high horse and tell me that you are better while using all the five dollar words you can.

I just want to see who you are, no fronting, no games, no hiding behind LaVey to back your shit up via proxy. I am tired of seeing solipsism become the new name of the internet game. Just hide behind a buncha people that agree with you and you're suddenly in the right. False idols being propped up by the new black sheeple is the new landscape. I saw a motherfucker QUOTE Thomas Leroy the other day.

The best part I know I am destined to lose when it comes to any long term impact. Any meaningful interpretation of Satanism that exists at this fucking moment will be buried in this new environment. There are more of 'them' then there are of 'us.' Satanism will become vacuous (to late?!?!?) and all that actually presences the darkness will be lost.

It's cool though, hell the best part of Satanism (as I see it anyway) is that it's built for this shit because of its centrally selfish essence. If I learn something it succeeded.

Oh and fuck that fucking statue, seriously.

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?
