____________________

Greetings to all of our Satanic Family,

As stated in the New Year Address, there is going to be the formulation of a ranking to empower people so that the JoS and it's members can be empowered. As of now, the Joy of Satan Guardians is officially instated rank that members can achieve.

Functionally, the idea of this position is not to procure false ego, but rather to procure strong personalities and for people to understand more the value of their words, Satanic mission, provide more support and more richness of content for people in JoS, but also to facilitate understanding of one's self and the mission of Joy of Satan.

People who will attain this rank will be generally people that already have been off-mod, and therefore have proven their intentions of helping and assisting others. The purpose of this group of people will be what is said in the title of it, to procure safety and expansion inside the Joy of Satan and it's members.

The ascent to this rank could also incur descent in the case one misuses these capabilities to harm others or engage in negative behaviour more than warranted or necessary. Absence, while not recommended, will be an option if one absolutely has to go.

Noblety of behavior is expected. Not faultlessness or fakeness of course, but one is expected to shine the light that they have received from the Gods and Father Satan in a more direct way.

For example, when you have Free Posting privilege, the reason for this is to help, but also understand the value of power coming from this, how it affects others etc. Gods work in the same way in a chain of command. Organization of this kind creates space for growth and empowerment.

As the Joy of Satan expands there will be more and more people that will be necessary to take a more active role in the Forum. This of course will give them [they have to earn this by their actions] the necessary respect to grow themselves and the community.

As there are many people who contribute heavily there is going to be a specific set of emotional and logical approaches that will have to be reflected in an individual in order to make this into this rank.

According to assumed responsibilities, there will also be extended perks for these people, in due time or based on circumstance. Posting announcements, etc.

It doesn't mean that if one is in this rank automatically becomes faultless or whatever, but what is strongly insisted is that the person has a proven track record of growth and advancement on them that can be reflected on other people to accelerate the advancement and growth of all.

This level of ranking will be a pre-requisite for becoming Joy of Satan Clergy [the highest ranking], but it will not be necessitated that one becomes or has to become Clergy if they make it into this rank.

This Rank will exist on it's own purpose alongside and under supervision from Clergy. Even within the JoS Guardians not all people are going to be the same or "equal", as contributions or duties might not be the same.

The words to keep in mind is that we are like Ancient Protectors of the Truth, JoS, our people, materials, tenets, and so on.

Certain duties will be incumbent in this position, with certain benefits. You won't have to build Rome on your own. The whole ordeal will be based on teamwork, not excessive individuality. In a way, this Rank will represent the warrior protectors of the Ancient Pagan civilizations, people that protect what is right and valuable, and other people.

One will have to certainly spend sometime helping others and doing work of JoS as one probably is already doing to find themselves into this rank. We will be working closely and like a brotherhood to advance this place under Satan and the Gods, counteract problems, and keep the community safe and existing.

Invitations are going to be sent and there will be conversation for those who want to engage in a known or nameless manner. Some people have already told me that they will be part of this, but without being public on the forum, assisting externally or in other necessary ways.

People who want to will be announced here and possibly have their User Account changed to a different color. We are looking into how it will be obvious. Some of you have already been informed a month ago, etc.

It does not mean that if one doesn't make it to this case one isn't trusted, cared for or loved, because as explained, there will be some specific duties and expectations from people in this rank. The Gods do indeed get satisfied when people rise in this way, as it reflects in a small scale way how they operate.

Certain people need expansions in order to advance personally too. It's false to think that our life only has to do solely with ourselves, because that's only the case of a very primary level. As people advance, one naturally might move further. Azazel told me of this before, and that is necessary therefore that this process takes place.

Therefore the purpose except of external is to facilitate the evolution of certain individuals that need to advance further. One can continue to receive their merits and glory in their own way as the group recognizes these directly as it is.

Any soul that works for Father Zeus is valued by Father Zeus and that is well known.

Yet the above will help to formalize this and give others who might be currently joining and advancing a sense of safety and guidance in that others will always be here to help them like older Brothers must help the younger ones.

Joy of Satan Guardians is now instated, glory to the members that will carry the Satanic Banner and hold it high.

May the Gods bless us all in continued overflowing power and capacity.

HAIL SATAN!!!!

I would deeply desire to be involved with this process, but my biggest issue is I have issues properly articulating my words to other members, explaining myself properly, and while I have experienced alot of spiritual experiences in the past couple years through close association, and my advancement being guided with andras, gusion, and a few other demons, I do not know exactly how I could help out, I'm rather uncertain.

What would your advice, and recommendation be in this case Zevios Metathronos?

My other issue is I forget things often, and alot of information can slip my mind, which leads me doubting my capabilities in trying to build towards something like this.
 
I like to have faith with these things but this is absolutely going to crash and burn at some point with an us vs them mentality that will dominate the forum. You can already see this happen on certain posts where old guard members and even newer ones that have bad blood between them use this to either elevate or degrade credibility and content of character. And of course the enemy agents will try to take advantage of this and set up skirmishes between “Gurdian” and regular members essentially creating an Elysium type class system that will ultimately undermine the legitimacy of the JoS and the forum.
 
Wonderful announcement, HP Zevios Metathronos. It is so exciting to see such progress, expansion, and advancement of the JoS being made. This new rank will be pivotal and progressive, as a lot of people contribute immensely but do not want to be Clergy (or are not ready to be).

Hail Satan, Eternally!

That is your personal perception of how certain people "would behave", but the initiative is exactly the opposite. The fact is certain individuals always see this type of promotion as a given to continue toxic behavior. It should be seen rather as an opportunity to move to a higher level of understanding. If one goes to a lower level, that's going to be not good.

The whole purpose is in fact the reverse: With more people away from the toxic behavior such as this, one's word will be understood to be wielded in a beneficial way.

Direct reports to the JoS Clergy will be able to be issued and as explained, demotion or potential stripping of rights will be the case.

It is unavoidable to have certain people bicker or create specific cliques, as I have seen after too many years on this forum. And I have also seen that the reality of this is that common sense and understanding is far more prevalent in most Zevism than the latter who see this in the pointless way that you mention.

We have to show faith in people, not the opposite. The least one would want is for anything to go in this way, as it's totally a waste of everyone's time. I highly doubt the prospective Zevism in mind have been in this level of falsehood for a long time.

I definitely see this as a potential here. Try to improve communication skills, and at the same time, maybe keeping a journal will be necessary. It is impossible to not forget some things, if there is an influx of information.

I think this is a good way to find/develop good new clergy members, with the aimed expansion we also need people to give the clergy, some breath so they can fokus on important matter, so tasks wich can be safely done by other people will be delegated. In the end all benefit, the clergy can fokus on important things, the guardiens support clergy and members, members may see more important work released from the clergy, get help from guardiens and may be inspired to help other members.

Aside from what Cobra relayed, I would suggest workings with Mercury energy and the rune Mannaz should work with communication, intelligence, memory -department.

Look at your weak points as a whole, maybe there are more than this particular thing, and issue corrective measures one by one to patch things up and move to the next level by doing so. Understanding basics of astrology helps to gain more understanding of your past and present, and it would be a good practice so see what current and past planetary transits are manifesting and have manifested. You can also see to the future, the possible outcomes from certain influences, and play around them when there are negative possibilities in the horizon.

Communication falls under the air element and natal mercury. Memory is also a function of mercury, although earth aspects can strengthen memory as well. For improving memory, the best way would be direct-training, as HP Zevios Metathronos mentioned, through the recall and analysis exercise he posted about some months ago.

For improving your articulation, I would suggest doing a Mercury Square, which is currently in Aquarius, or in April when it enters Gemini. Associated runes would be Ansuz for oratory power, and also Ehwaz for allowing you to relate to others. Mannaz for raw intellect, too.

Double-check your natal chart and make sure you don't have any bad aspects that can harm your communication, as well. This would require going back and removing the negative karma associated with those placements, not just doing "additive" workings.

There's an e-mail in your mail box.

Proof could also mean someone who publishes translations in their own language with no small regularity?

It's only up to HP Zevios Metathronos to decide these people, but regardless, translations is a very respected and important role.

Wow, this is very exciting to witness! It's a clear sign of growth of our community
 
Maybe this will work, maybe it won’t but it is nice to see HP Zevios Metathronos being creative and trying out new things to help expand the JoS. It can be really difficult for any community to not stagnate over time, so it’s good to see him trying to prevent such things.

I think all people who are off mod here are already perceived as higher in hierarchy in some way, so even before this way implemented, there was a way to tell.


But as it has already been said, this is not to stroke anyone’s ego, but to show why those who are given this privilege should have it.
 
I understand the concerns about "what if" certain people behave in an errant way, but those prone to errant ways will be on their own.

In regards to potential creation of "cliques" and other nonsense, if one is to attain this Rank, the only "clique" they must have in mind is everyone here and the JoS.

The solutions to even out these affairs are quite simple. Although it would be the least thing one would be willing to do, it is the easiest thing to control a situation if certain things go "wrong".

Those who understand the Joy of Satan as a house of the Gods and the hierarchical structure as a manifestation of this Will, will understand. Few if any things happen by "coincidence".

Those who still have issues that block them from this understanding, are not even in this state to be close to attaining such a thing. The mistakes, ranging from human error, all the way down to purposeful evil actions, will be dealt with.

I have faith in the choices, since if these people wanted to engage in anything of the current doomsday thing, they were already at liberty to do so. Most people who are being chosen now are already off moderation and hold considerable presence in the Forums as is.

Also, the fact that the overwhelming majority of Zevism is advancing at a rapid pace [with the new Rituals, etc] and how so many have shown signs of considerable advancement, calls for these things despite of the potentials for minor negative occurrences.
 
Personally i love that these ranks are being implemented! Not only will we get a stronger sense of hierarchy, we will also get more motivated to give more to the community. The growth of certain individuals can be boosted significantly, So i am all for it!

Of course there have been some rotten apples in our mids, and there will be plenty more rotten apples, this is only natural. However this is not an excuse to cancel a ranking system, those rotten apples will be weeded out eventually. The benefits heavily outweigh the negatives/risks.

I agree, you, NakedPluto, and VoiceOfEnki, deserve this more than anyone, as you are clearly one of the most advanced people we have in this community and also enormous helpful for the Satanic community. So I hope to see you three in this rank. :)

So what, are you going to accept the invitation or not? There's something in your e-mail. Come on, this isn't Clergy. You'll be ok. :lol:

...

I would take official orders from HPZM as i know he is clergy.

I have learnt alot from him.

This could prove an issue as you have stated.

I will wait and see what happens, I have been here ten years I know who is the real deal, there have been a few"new" folk who have amassed alot of posts some of these people have alot of knowledge. I will pick and choose myself who to listen too.

I got slated also for saying I had risen kundalini which, after ten years you havent acheived then you are as well choosing another religion :lol: :lol:

This is the new rules and we are here to adhere to them, I know there is members that have "privilages" that talk about people behind their back and coax them into their way of thinking, this cant be helped.

Send it on guys lets go, look forward to it.

Congratulations to JoS and its members. This is only possible because of the collective advancement and evolution of JoS. This is a very great responsibility in my opinion, and should be treated as more than something of duty, but of great meaning for the future of everyone and the next generations.

I have clarified the relationship between this Rank and Clergy, and did edit the original post to make this clear.

The Clergy is higher and the final ranking. Even within the JoS Guardians, there will be a form of ranking based on merits etc.

Those who do the best [as they get appreciation as it is from the community before this] will again get this while in this rank if they do well.

If its HPZM trial run/change then obviously we need to embrace it.

I can understand a few people might get peeved but im not against this lets bring it on

I feel if there was one place where we wouldn't have such nonsense things as post whores and people who want to be leaders of cliques being labeled as important members it would be the JoS. I'm not assuming anything or going to have full detailed expectations of this but I am looking forward to it to see how it goes in general and have a really positive feeling about it too. :)

Hail Satan!!
