I did the dedication, after reading the JoS site for two solid years.
During the dedication ritual nothing happened. Really, I did it, only squeezed maybe 1 microlitre of blood, but the amount doesn't matter says the JoS. Then I've stared at the flame of my black candle for at least 15 minutes and: I was let down.
Nothing.
An hour later maybe I suddenly was panicking. Thoughts like "Did I really just sell my Soul?" (Which I didn't, only dedicated) and
"Will I go to hell"
"why did I do this"
"What if Satan really is the bad one, and the Bible was right all along?"
You get the gist out of it.
Now, I am meditating (not regularly), but I don't know if I really want this. I am full of fear right now. And I am confused, who is the righteous one and who's the liar. And I've read the exposing Christianity site, and the JoS many times.
I want to obtain magickal and spiritual powers (and I've done things that couldn't be explained by anything else but the spiritual)
And still I'm stuck.
Once I've dreamed a vision of hell, me, crucified among billions of others. I was depressed for the next 3 days. (This was long before my first contact with the JoS)
Then, after my dedication, my father, who is a christian and believes everything it says, put his hands on my head and suddenly I've felt another pulse of fear spread through my body.
I'm just lost. I don't know what to do.
I want to know how the reverse ritual works. If no one tells me how it works, I will perform one I've designed myself, since there is no declaration that Satan is my god for eternity, thus it is reversible. The Devil is in the fine print.
My plan right now is that I will "try" being a Zevist for a few years, and see where it takes me.
If it's nothing but a letdown I will reverse the dedication and search elsewhere for spiritual enlightenment.
I WANT TO believe and be free of all programming or whatever, but I just can't.
Is anyone able to help a fellow Zevist?
I feel like I'm between two world, and I am not sure if I want to be part of either one.
Sorry if this turned into a rant, but I have no one else to talk about this to.
