Eh, then, aren't you just stuck up in your own head?
It's like someone who keeps banging their head on the wall... Then they wear bandages to stop the bleeding - but they keep on banging their head on the wall, so the bleeding never stops.
Meditation is one thing... Being in constant denial about it is another.
I read through your responses here and I'm not gonna lie - this period of time I've also been having some difficulties myself. Not just with meditations but with MYSELF, and how it feels like I've hit a deadlock in all fucking aspects of my life (meditations included).
On the one hand I can feel your frustration... On the other, it kind of feels like you're the one putting blockages in your head.
Iiiii kind of started socializing with people too late in my life. I was always the black sheep of my family and had a bad personality (which was an exact copy of my mother's personality). Either way, it's like I am NOW getting to know the world - and so I see people, I compare experiences and situations and I try to understand both them, and myself.
I was always very stuck up in my head. What I mean by that is that, I always thought I knew the answer to everything. "Oh, what? You're feeling sad? You should meditate! It will pass!", "Oh what? You are in a bad relationship? Just break up and do meditations to attract a better mate!" and I couldn't really understand that it's not so easy, or that that's not really how people function lol... I thought I knew the solution to everything - because I never had to question these things in my own life - because I had never gone through difficult times like these - or experiencing things where a simple meditation was not the solution.
Anyway.
At some point you said that you tried meditating for years? What meditations were you doing? Did you seriously not see any chance in your life at all?
When I found the joyofSatan website I was in high school. I felt an extreme bliss, and I just KNEW I had found the truth! I started meditating right away - but like the immature child that I was, I just wanted to open the third eye - I did no cleaning or protection, and I wanted to do black magick to all the kids at school that bullied me lol. Of course, it's not that simple lol. These things require time and mind power (so, consistent and practical meditation was needed - which I didn't do).
I had started and stopped meditating throughout many-many years in my life.
Last time I started (and have not stopped since) was around 9 years ago. I actually needed 6 months to start feeling energies (I was doing hatha yoga, cleaning and protection consistently for six months). Although I had opened my chakras in the past, I had to redo the awakening exercises and realized that my solar plexus was blocked - so I unblocked it.
After one year of consistently meditating, I realized/remember my death from my past life, and I was finally able to accept my gender. I mean, I cried my eyes out when I realized it, and was asking my guardian Demon (I had been having dreams of birds - checked the joyofSatan Demons page and found him) why this had happened to me, and I did receive an answer in my head.
Anyway, after I accepted myself, I slowly started dressing more feminine, and I just kept on meditating.
As years passed, I realized how my perception had changed. I am talking about my mental ability to understand things and situations. I had also become more confident. I was better at talking to people etc etc etc.
Little changes here and there.
I also had many experiences with the Gods, and I am ever so grateful to them for everything.
The thing is, as Bruce Lee had said it... "Knowledge is not enough. We must apply." Reading all the occult stuff just for the sake of mental interest and not putting them into action is pointless.
At some point you said that all this knowledge has no use. But it does.
I have a close friend who is a very unique person. She believes in the Gods, in past lives, loves ancient Egypt etc; but she has not done the dedication ritual, because she doesn't want to "belong" to a religion. She's also skeptical about Satan himself (despite all the info I've shared with her). Nevertheless, she meditates... She has had some experiences with the Gods (specifically some Gods she might have had a connection with in past lives) and she's now trying to heal some issues of self-expression that she has. And she really does feel the difference.
My friend does want to change. She has a Scorpio emphasis in her chart, so she's skeptical about everything lol. But she's NOT in denial. If something works, it works!
I think you, in your head, don't even want to see a result from meditations. Or perhaps, you're being too impatient (like you wrote, you just want a magic wand to do everything) and you get disappointed too quickly.
From all the things that you've written, it seems like you have too much air or fire in your chart (as another member pointed out). Someone also said that HP Maxine had done your astrological chart analysis? Have you reread that, or are you just denying its validity as a whole?
If I were you I'd advise you to do the Earth element invocation.
Even more so - do you believe in Satan himself? If yes, do you think he'd just create us to be mindless little fucks in this world? Do we live just to do nothing? Just to be nothing? Neither to destroy, nor to create - are we just empty shells? What do you think?
These last few months I went through some very difficult times... I was literally praying to Satan and asking him to kill me. I would cry my eyes out and ask him to just take my soul. I didn't want to commit suicide, knowing I'll reincarnate in another life. I just wanted him to take my life, take my soul, take advantage of that power or whatever, and just end it all. I was asking him to give me a sign that he would do that, and then I would commit suicide myself.
Can you believe that? I had reached that point... I just didn't want to do anything. I didn't want to try for anything. Nothing had a purpose. My life didn't have a purpose. Everything was shit. In the end, what was the point, right?
I kept on reminding myself Hitler's quote: "Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live."... I was thinking that I do not want to fight. I do not want to struggle, I do not want to try about anything. Just let it all end.
I also kept on thinking how I'm worthless. How my life has no purpose, and I don't even care enough for it to have a purpose. I didn't ask Satan to give a purpose to my life... I just wanted it all to end.
Satan never responded to me when I was telling him all these things... Then at some point... I remember it was at a very random point, where I was just lying in bed and either mindlessly watching a YouTube video, or reading a fiction book. I had this sort of... realization? Two little thoughts came into my head.
One of them was that "You make your own worth" - I think you understand what that means. We decide the worth we have as humans. Whether we want to make a difference to the world or not... How we FEEL about ourselves depends on us. How we view ourselves, what value we give for ourselves. No one else can tell us that, but ourselves.
The other thought was that "You give your life meaning"... And again, this is as you understand it. You decide whether you will keep on staying idle, doing nothing, living in your own fucking world, in your mind and sitting idly until the day you die - or you will try to find some meaning in your life.... Find a hobby that you will love doing - find some people whose company will give you a reason to be alive - even find a fucking food you love so much, you wouldn't want to die just so that you can keep on tasting that food!
Whatever it is man... You give your life meaning.
I was raised to have it all. I always thought that, if my life truly had a meaning, someone else would point it out. Someone else would show me the way. Someone else would "dictate" (so to speak) my meaning to me.
I was always so... how to say this... It's like I never had a will on my own. And I never really cared about it - until the time came when many heavy responsibilities fell on me, and I started wondering why do I even fucking exist. Satan's quotes weren't enough for me. Our mentality as Spiritual Satanists could not satisfy me. I wasn't content with anything.
So in the end, it all comes down to us. What WE want to do with our lives and how WE want to live.
In one of your responses you said you don't really care or bother about you living in your own head. Mate, if you really didn't care, why did you make this post? Just to read our thoughts on it? No.
In your original post you did ask how to get yourself out of this situation.
Well, in my opinion - the first step towards solving a problem is to accept that there's a problem. I mean, having a vivid imagination is EPIC (would you just read those Tolkien books?
This guy had an entire world of elves and dwarves and hobbits in his head!) but it also depends on what these thoughts are about - and what you do with these.
Tolkien (this is just a random example) could also just live in his own world, and only fantasize about these stories and characters of his... But instead, he wrote books about them! Now, did he do this in hopes to make this (being a writer) his profession? To be honest, I have no idea, as I haven't studied his life. But this is not what's important. What's important is that he took some action.
Because yes, everything (EVERYTHING) DOES start in our heads... Everything starts with an idea... But if this idea just remains in our heads, and it never becomes materialized, then it loses its purpose. Quite literally.
..Of course, hey. I'm not saying you should go around butchering people lol. But like another person said, you could join a political movement or something. Even make anonymous YouTube videos and share your thoughts and knowledge about National Socialism and so forth (since this is one of your interests/passions).
I also understood what you said about wanting to kill people.. not all people though lol. I used to have a friend who was also obsessed with the thought of going to war and killing the enemy - or a foreign country that may try to invade ours. I also understand the fiery desire to protect what's ours and to protect our families. I also hate many people that I see on a daily basis - people living off of other people, hurting the environment, abusing animals, children... I do believe most of these people do not deserve to live (I am talking about the cases of people that just live arrogantly and don't even want to advance in any way, shape or form. They just "YOLO" and hurt others, and laugh at that). However, I am confident that a sort of "cleansing" will eventually happen... This is also one of the reasons I am doing the final RTR (and follow through the ritual schedules we're having). Because I NEED to see justice taking place in this world - and I will do whatever's on my hand to help with this.
You said you do not believe in the rituals but hey man... The news ARE a kind of evidence on how we've been affecting the world. Many years ago we had started doing rituals to reveal the crimes of the Vatican and BAM! News started appearing about their pedophile crimes... Then we do the communications ritual and BAM! News start appearing about Hollywood sexual assaults etc etc etc... It's the timing man. And it's exhilarating seeing in live action what we can do.
Regardless though, back to your own issues... You need to decide what to do man. If you just remain in your head remember that it's YOUR decision to do that. Meditations have nothing to do with it. Satan or the Gods, the rituals (etc) have nothing to do with it. Life and its meaning have nothing to do with it.
Everything we do is based on... well, ourselves. Surely, circumstances can hinder our actions, or change our desires accordingly but in the end it's all up to us.
We give our life meaning. We make our own worth.
If you really want to get out of this fucking loophole, then start acting in one way or another. First of all invoke some Earth element in your life man... And secondly, stop looking at meditations in such a negative way. I mean, seriously. Some things need time. As I told you, I needed 6 months to feel energies.. Someone else may need longer - someone else may need less time. It all depends on our karma from past lives and on our own thoughts.
Lastly, you said:

I keep coming up with Sci-Fantasy stuff all the time. For example I keep imaging a G.M.I.G.(Godlike-Military-Industrial-Grade) smartphone a smartphone of the Gods with indestructible metal, crystalline printed board(CPB), and basically a free-energy device that lasts tremendous amounts of eons.(I personally hate my smartphone, I'm not satisfied with it in any way, shape, or form.)
DUDE!!!! THAT'S FUCKING EPIC!!!
Why don't you study technology, or something that would be able to help you build that? You seem to have amazing ideas - so why not just act on them? If not for the world (if you don't care about giving anything to the world) then do it for yourself. For your own satisfaction. If you think that it requires too much effort - guess what? It does lol. But so what? Everything that's worth doing in this world, requires at least some effort. Even cooking requires some effort. Are we just supposed to starve, or constantly buy shitty delivery food because we don't want to put in the effort?
Fuck depending on others man. Let's try to do it on our own. Be self-reliant, be self-dependent. Be proud of ourselves. Not for anyone else.. I don't care about proving anything to anyone. I just want to be a better person for MYSELF.
Anyway, sorry I kind of skipped from one subject to another. I haven't responded to people's posts in the forums in a very long time, but I kind of saw myself in your own post.
Lastly, I want to say this... Although I had never learned how to think for myself, and I always had others tell me what to think and what to do (and I never really cared about that)... Now that I am forced to get out of my comfort zone, and I am forced to think for myself, and I am forced to choose what to do with my life, and what to think of myself... I can actually truly appreciate and recognize the freedom we have as spiritual Satanists.
Satan never told me that I am worth this and that. He has helped me numerous times, He has responded to me, He has appeared to me, He has been very patient with me lol. But he has never told me "my worth" so to speak. Of course, Satan wouldn't want me to feel worthless... But He is not the kind of god who would just say that I'm invaluable or whatever... Because the matter of fact is, we are the ones who decide that. And Satan doesn't want little robots following him. He wants free human beings who decide their own worth, and who decide their own actions.
I hope my response clears your head a little bit.
