Satanic Philosophy and Spirituality

Just to be clear I stated Aquino[who was a HP in the orignal CoS] stated LaVey knew Satan was a real Being,  and LaVey mentioned the Demons are real Beings in the Satanic Bible.   "The Sage lives by their own inner nature" sums it all up. And this is only realized and perfected with a daily practice of Yoga. Looking at the Doaists[Far Eastern Yogis] in the East they understand this firsthand, that a persons natural being unfolds and the bad habits and conditioning goes away. Sage was another name for a person who had obtained a higher level of advancement via sadhana.   The Eastern Tantra's mention how the Siddha[Godman] is of the highest knowing and virtue by nature of his literal metaphysical perfection.   The second part is simple too "Even the greatest Warrior who goes against natural law will be defeated."   It's the Sadhana that takes one from speculation to knowing and thus the need for philosophy becomes nil, and any such thing becomes a guide of prinicpals for people who are not there yet. Even then it's not so much a philosophy as a statement of fact which brings it down to earth and out of speculation. We don't have a philosophy 2+2=4 we have a mathematical fact.   You can see the ancients understood  the Way of Nature is Eternal and that is the key to reality.   The Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Process is part of this natural way of evolution.

Subject: [JoS4adults] Satanic Philosophy and Spirituality

Everyone has different view's of what living a Satanic life is to them.I my limited view,since I have only been a Satanist a short time,relative to others in this group,but I have had Pagan view's for over a century. I believe that both the philosophy and the spirituality are important in the balance of my Satanic life.I am probably going to open a can of worms here again,but I do read a lot of Anton's and Aquino's books.I have all of them.Now hold on Mac,I am not trying to break the groups rules here,as this is the first group that I feel comfortable to openly share my view's,and also to accept criticism,and correction from.But even our great High Priestess herself said she got her start from the Satanic Bible,which is where I and most of us got our start in Satanism also.And I do agree with what Don said,reading that material,makes you feel that he is talking about our beloved God,in a personal way,not only an archetype.

But that in my opinion,is only philosophical side of it,of which I mostly agree with.But High Priestess Pythia and the Temple of Zeus ministry,has shown me the true spiritual side of Satanism.For the first time in my life,I feel like I am making spiritual progress in my Satanic life.I have always known deep inside,as all of us have,if we are really honest with ourselves, that meditation was the key to it all.But up to now,I can admit that I have always been to lazy to do it.Getting to the point where doing it is not a chore,takes a lot of time and commitment.But I am finally at that point as Pythia says,where you feel you can't live without it,such as breathing itself.So now I have finally confided in my family,my honest view's about what my Satanic life is all about.Now let me here your honest view's about what you think living a truly balanced Satanic life is all about.

Hail Satan!!

Hail Satan!!

Philosophy comes directly for the Greek "Φιλοσοφία" meaning friend of wisdom.

HAIL SATAN!
