How does member ranks work? I have been a member for a few years, I'm not super active in the forums but I participate yet I'm still ranked as a new member, how does one climb the ranks into guardian or even clergy?

You might even be in here for 30 years and never become a JGs if you don't have the required skills. And not only that, you don't really need an extra JG if the situation doesn't require it. Even if you could get that level you still have to consider a title for a service you have to offer when required. It's not just "did you see that? I am a JG and you are nothing in front of me."

For the clergy it is even more complicated since the souls the Gods choose for the Priesthood are not souls of just any highly advanced people, but true incarnations generated by the Gods, souls consisting of the highest manifestation of their essence, manifesting on the material plane with a physical body to bring the Gods to those who do not know how to follow them.

The Gods themselves are not just individuals of a few thousand years who have attained the Magnum Opus. They are true incarnations of Universal Truths. This concept may be incomprehensible because the human mind imagining Astarte being Mother Earth herself thinks "she is so powerful that she wanted to be called Mother Earth to teach the importance of the thing." No, Astarte is truly what she says she is, a universal existence.
Just as Zeus is really his own symbolism.

People don't get it because we are used to Bob the gas station attendant who doesn't even embody the values of making gasoline, but simply works there at the gas pump.

The forum platform ranks are not real ranks. It's simply a reflection of the contribution to the forums. Forum badges hold more weight, but they are not ranks either, but demonstrate what the member has done for the community.

The pathway to Priesthood is something you need to discuss with your Guardian as we are not in a position to tell you about that matter.

 

[Power of Justice [JG]]

The forum "member rank" is updated automatically based on post count. It doesn't mean much unless you are given a special rank as a form of recognition.

The final decision is not up to you, but what you can do for the Community, how you can improve it, how you can positively influence it. Of course, we are talking about concrete work here. The more you give, the more you can get. The bigger and more influential your work, the greater the chance that you will be rewarded with the Title you have earned through your efforts.

Dedication and regularity are key here. By doing a certain amount of work, even at the level of an ordinary participant, you are still helping, assisting, performing a Noble Activity, it is still worthy and is a Divine task. You should not chase after Titles, otherwise it is a pretense, hypocrisy, falsehood and self-interest, it is Ignorant and not worthy of the Warrior of SAT. You have to work for the people, for the Race and the Gods, not for your own glory, then your labors will not go unnoticed.

You do not have to become a JG or HP to attain Divinity. It is a Title, and it is certainly Sacred and prestigious, but the point is that people who hold such positions in the Clergy voluntarily burden themselves with a number of obligations. They are still human Beings, they are still not Gods, but of course there are no random people in such positions. But it is not a panacea and should not become the meaning of your life. Titles are not given to everyone who wants them, but only to those people who have earned them through their Dedication. Of course, most of the time it is the Will of the Gods to give someone a Title. If you deserve it, you will get it.

But ask yourself this question: are you ready for the enormous amount of responsibilities and their proper fulfillment on a permanent basis if you were to be appointed High Priest tomorrow? Assuming such a thing happened, what are you willing and able to give? Wanting to become someone is not enough, right? After all, people put their hopes in someone who holds an important position, and you will have many tasks of great importance, you can't make a mistake and fuck it all up, and you will have subordinates who are lower in the Hierarchy and those who need to be taken care of in the Community. Just model this situation, think about it and ask yourself, are you ready for this? This is why Titles are directly related to the level of your Spiritual Development. A soldier will not become a commander if he is weak in Spirit and unable to lead an army. You should not think about Titles, but about what you can give to the world, for which the world will be grateful to you, and by the world is meant the Satanic future, our Temple. Here and now, not someday.

Take an active part in the projects of our Temple: JG manages his own project, you can contact him directly and express your desire to participate in the project in which you feel confident. Also help here, on the Forum, to the extent of your Knowledge and your Wisdom. When you help here, you help others and work for the good of the Gods, thus you burn bad Karma and create good Karma. Moreover, any help you give will be appreciated. If you are active and regular in your help, you may be rewarded with certain Badges here. As you can see, many members have from next to their usernames, signifying the actual work they have done. This has its own gradations, and you can achieve the same, and that too is a definite Title.

Here are some Sermons on this topic, you should read all of them to understand the principle:

• You Must Give Before You Can Receive;
• Small Acts? I don't think so;
• Contributing to JoS: Here's What You Can Do;
• Advancing The Cause: Joy Of Satan Donation Tiers;
• When To Give Help & On «Helping Others»;
• Burning Karma; Working as a Family;
• Forum Badges: Explained.

Here is literally a very comprehensive, extended and clearly given answer to your question in the form of HPHC's Sermon, the link to which I forgot to add, so here it is, it's really informative and all explained here, so definitely make sure you read this one too: About «Titles».

 

[Ol argedco luciftias]

"New member" means you have not posted many comments. The number is maybe 50 or 100 posts before it switches to "well known member" but I'm not sure what the number is.

Up to 100 messages — «New member».

After 100 messages — «Member».

After 500 messages — «Active member».

After 1.000 messages — «Well-known member».

I would like to add that if you feel like writing 1,000 messages to respond to people here, it is a really wonderful and valuable thing, but please just make sure that they are thought out messages when it is necessary for them to be more thought out than expected. Writing a thousand superficial messages is not a high level, like when attending a Divine assembly snoozing and yawning all the time is not as useful as Council to the high command spheres of Zeus. It is very important in my opinion to specify this.

Yeah, this is self-evident and for a sane person is a very obvious fact. By the way, I noted this point you wrote about in my first big reply in this thread, so it's OK, agree.

Moreover, this thought is also expressed in the Sermon about Titles (I left a link to above), or rather in the message to which HPHC is responding, and I am in absolute solidarity with this thought:

People focus too much on pointless, hollow things, and too many pursue some form of celebrity status. Having 5000 posts means nothing if 95% of them are useless to everybody. Having over a decade of "experience" as SS means nothing if you have made little to no progress. And of course, even the title of "High Priest" means nothing if one ultimately contributes very little or nothing at all.

Actually, since what you write about and what we agree on doesn't need clarification for sane people (but thanks for underlining it again, Brother), I replied to Ol argedco luciftias just about the technical points that he wrote he had forgotten, just for clarity and for the rest of those interested in how the «transition between levels» happens, which are not Ranks, of course. I often find questions like «how does this thing change, why do I still have new member status» etc. Of course, it was never about quantity. It doesn't matter at all. What matters is what I, you and others have written in this thread. It's true. A simple truth, but not obvious to most of those who chase public recognition, adulation and fame, which is a dead issue.
