I have a slight problem. It seems like meditation is a must for Satanism. And that's great! It really is! But uh...I can't meditate. I can't sit still long enough to meditate and if I try, my mind fills with random crap for new stories and embarrassing and painful moments from my childhood. I swear, it's like my blood is 70% caffeine. 30% root beer.If I am able to relax and clear my mind, I fall asleep. Any tips?And I need to find this dedication ritual. I am very new and eager to learn. Kapri
 
Nobody is able to meditate perfectly when they start, really. You need to train yourself to focus your mind. Obviously it can't happen the first times you do it! Think of playing a musical instrument: Can you imagine someone playing a complex song the first time he tries that? Somehow people know that with physical things it's impossible to do them the first times you try it but they really expect mental/spiritual things to happen immediately. I can't really follow this logic.
Yes, it's pretty normal for these thoughts to come in your mind. This has been mentioned in the site. Meditation is a cleaning house too. It brings suppressed thoughts in the surface which you need to accept and move on. If you have suppressed anger or things like that you need to accept them to be able to relax. This will eventually happen after you clean your suppressed emotions.
 
Well, of course I'm not expecting something amazing to happen at first. I just have a problem with holding still. I get restless and need to walk around the house before sitting back down again only to get restless again 5 minutes later. I don't know why, but I am overflowing with energy and I have no way to get rid of it. 
 
If you do drink that much coffee and root beer, the first step is to cut back. If that was just an analogy (a humorous one, I thought :)) then maybe try some affirmations? I have trouble with void meditation sometimes and when I get distracted I just think things like "You don't have to remember/think of this" or "Your mind is cleared of all internal and external distractions." Another thing to remember is that "You control your thoughts, your thoughts do NOT control you." That also seems to help/bring relief. If you haven't dedicated, here is the link:How to Dedicate You Soul to Satan   Anyway, as for embarrassing memories/etc always remember that to move forward you must not let past hindrances/etc keep you down. If you don't believe in yourself, you cannot progress. Always believe in yourself! These things are in your past--what matters is acting now.Also, I used to always have trouble with falling asleep. This improves with time/as you meditate you will be able to focus better. It sounds like you have a hard time focusing, but try not to be so down on yourself. Just make sure you put some time in effort into meditation--that is all you can do, and it will help with some patience and hard work :) When you can, maybe try sitting instead of laying down? I don't know if you lay down or not, but I used to and it was way harder not to fall asleep. Some things you might need to lay down for, like after hatha or kundalini yoga. But you can sit up for a lot of the meditations and this is very helpful in improving focus/not falling asleep. Get comfortable, but not TOO comfortable :)Hope this somewhat helps!Hail Satan!



 
Sit cross legged or with your feet on your thighs if thats too comfortable so you dont fall asleep. And definately avoid caffine. And dont try to suppress any thoughts just let them work their course. It sounds like a lot of mental energy has built up and needs to work itself out. It will naturally work itself out but it only will when your not focusing on tv, work, video games or other modern life distractions.
 
@Xavier Skaggs you're right. And, I didn't "make an accusation."

I simply asked.

Go look at my response and see for yourself by reading it again.

There's a difference between asking directly and accusing.
 
Yes, I understand. And, when they gave a reasonable answer, I remained reasonable.

At least I hope I read as reasonable.

(So much is lost in text only communication and so many traps await us to help us look bad.)
 
Say Hello to "Satanic Void Meditation"!  To me, its the most important thing you can learn.  It's extremely useful and all levels.  At first, you will absolutely loose it and you will think that you can't get past the seeming assault of discomforts.  You will not believe the crap that can distract you at first.  Stay with it my friend and you will be glad you did.  No matter what - don't give up.  Shoot for 30 minutes a day.  And keep going until you can just be there comfortably with nothing effecting you.  It will change your life.  Guarenteed to allow you to drink all the caffeinated Root Beer you want.

Can't help it. The way you said it got me on the defensive real quick. Then again, I take everything personally. Just don't bring up daddy dearest or my roots. As far as I know, I am part Scottish/Irish, part French, and part Native American.
Hail Satan!
 
I don't drink coffee. I know that after one Monster, I get jittery. I always wondered what would happen if I drank 3 Monsters. Thank you for the link! I appreciate it! :3
Hail Satan!
Oh yay! It's raining!
 
I detest your existence. Bloody hell, your like those damn people who don't say 'thank you' when I hold the door open for them. No! Your worse! YHour like thpse people that take the other door when they saw me holding the door open. 
Hail Satan!
 
On a side note... Does anyone here know of a curse that can inflict a victim's pain onto their offender tenfold?
Hail Lucifer
 
All this anger because I ASKED if you're a jew?

Somebody is uncomfortable. Hmm.

Tell you what, detest me all you want. If you're not dedicated to our Father Satan, I'm not worried.

And, if you were, you'd know why I asked.

I'd also remind you to look at the date/time stamp of my responses as well as the words and see that I've already apologized.

Hail Father Satan forever!
