Hi everyone
I joined this group about 2 years ago, but due to inactivity, my yahoo account got closed, i created it with the sole purpose of joining this group, but due to personal choices i had to step away for some time, i will talk about that later in this post.
This post will be a bit long but i will try to make it enjoyable and hopefully help some newcomers who are yet to take their first steps in satanism overcoming their skepticism or let them know if their are here for the right reasons or not, sometimes the problem is not the answers we get to our questions or the things we find, is the questions we ask and the motives that led us to seek something. I would also like to ask more experienced members to read it when you have 15 free minutes and if possible give me some feedback, and also notice that i am prone to mistakes, should you encounter one let me know, it may be accidental or simple lack of knowledge but i believe i can share many interesting facts with even the most experienced members, not in a general way but i am confident you will find some parts interesting and worthy of further study which i highly encourage.
I struggled a lot in the beginning like, i believe, many of you too and some still, due to my skepticism which is in great part due to the way most of us have been indoctrinated since early ages, regardless of our parent's beliefs and their religions, even some atheists would say "god" is good and Satan (which i prefer to refer to as "the morning star", "light bringer", "Lucifer" or most commonly just father) is bad... then question their existence... but that would be their starting point in any research that leads them to their final conclusions, one is evil the other is good.
I am not an atheist myself but i never believed in the concept of god described by all religions known to me, except one, satanism, though satanism is a term i try to avoid most of the time because satanism to me, even though there is only "one" correct path to it (with our own personal variables) it's more a general term that can and will be used to describe other satanic cults/religions that i do not identify myself with, neither most of you, Laveyan satanism is a nice example, but most people, when confronted with the term satanism will picture a bunch of metalheads listening Behemoth while dancing around graves in a graveyard and stabbing skulls even if you touch the subject in a very subtle and gentle way with the term satanism.
I could make this post huge if i were to describe my motives that brought me here, in general, almost all revolve around most religion's hypocrisy and contradictions. I could give you hundreds of examples but just for a taste you need to go no further than free-will... So we can choose what to do, ok, sounds good to me, but then how did they knew Judas was going to betray Jesus? The poor guy clearly had no choice, he was probably a nice guy but, unfortunately for him it was somehow "written in the stars" that he would betray Jesus for thirty silver coins and join the list of the most hated people in the history of mankind, something's not right about that free-will story, hundreds of contradictions like these are right in front of everyone's nose but few seem to grasp it... one word... Indoctrination with a capital i... or just plain stupidity. Should that be the second case don't even argue with those people, they will drag you to their level and beat you on experience.
And to those who are still trying to overcome skepticism about supernatural forces or the existence of energy you can manipulate, i know it gets pretty hard when you are trying to just see a small sign, a small anything you can't explain like a simple lighter levitating, a voice, a shadow something and then you come across someone who claims to be able to do astral projection. Trust me, that example is based on what happened to me, i spent days trying to just feel a little tingling in my hands focusing as hard as i could to redirect energy towards my hands and every time i felt like i was failing i came here looking for advice and every time i would end up reading other posts about shape shifting, levitation, astral projection and there i was... trying to feel a slight tingling from energy in my hands, i don't really need to explain how that made me feel right?
Anyway, i never gave up, i always tried to see everything from a scientific perspective, which is in some way what caused most of my skepticism but in the end, even though it did not gave me the answers i was looking for, it open the doors for me to step in.
All the answers we need to our questions regarding energy are literally inside ourselves, we all have those answers because we are all part of it, our consciousness is what i like to call, our metaphysical side. I may not be the best explaining this but i can give you a lot of examples and please notice this, i encourage everyone to confirm everything i say, which you can do in a relatively easy way using google, if you are the kind of people that accept everything it hears or reads without questioning then what follows is not for you, i don't want you to trust me, question me instead, doubt is important but only if it makes you seek answers and not simply step away, even if you believe it, study it, don't adopt anyone's perspective about nothing, instead try to understand it yourself and develop your own perspective, hence the personal variables i mentioned earlier in my path.
Do you think matter (our bodies) can develop a consciousness by itself? Self-awareness? The ability to introspect itself? I am not going to give you a straight answer mainly because of two factors, first i am not the source of all knowledge and last but most important, to seek answers we need to be aware that we are all prone to failure, we need to be aware of our own current limitations and never take important steps or make conclusions based only on assumptions so in order to answer this question i took a different approach, first, open the possibility by unlocking our mind in a irreversible way that you can not deny no matter how hard you try... sounds hard? It is tricky indeed but it's not hard if you manage to think "outside the box", but you don't have to, i will give you an out-of-the-box perspective easy to follow and understand.
Today, as a programmer myself, i can assure you that there are no truly intelligent programs, a program capable of thinking by itself, able to reason, or as i like to call it, a virtual consciousness, what programs do is to make logic decisions based on programming languages that are coded in certain ways to achieve different goals (called algorithms) by programmers, this code is never self generated unless sofware is programmed do generate code, but don't worry, i am not going to teach you how to code. Even artificial intelligence is a false concept of intelligence, it's nothing more than machines programmed to react in supposedly intelligent ways when confronted with certain foreseen situations. Still, a computer is almost perfectly analogous to us, human beings.
Lets see, we have eyes connected to our brain by the optic nerve where the image is processed... computers can have cameras connected by wires to a processor that processes image, in this case the GPU (graphics processor unit) which can be seen as an extension of the CPU (central processor unit).
We have a spine that connects to almost everything in our body, a computer have the motherboard where almost everything is connected.
We have a heart that pumps blood, computers have a power supply units that "pump" electricity.
We have ears they have microphones, we have a mouth they have speakers, we have a brain they have a cpu, we have limbs they have all sort of peripherals... and the list goes on...
So given the right amount of processing power can they develop a consciousness or any self-awareness? Let's suppose that happens.
A computer is a physical device, but any program regardless of how advanced or intelligent it is it always comes down to bits (bits as in digital information), and bits are nothing more than electric pulses on circuits or magnetic fields on storage devices... no matter where they are, they are pure energy, electricity or electromagnetic.
A program that develops self awareness, the ability to reason would eventually, sooner or later, start questioning his own existence and other facts that are mysterious to him pretty much like we do... And what sort of existence would he imagine? The same way we come down to atoms and sub atomic particles he would start to see terabytes, you can split them and get gigabytes, split them and you have megabytes etc to the smallest unit known to him... bits (not bytes... one byte is 8 bits). Bits would be to computers what atoms are to us, what they hear are just bits, sound waves converted to digital information (pure energy), what the see are just bits that form pixels (pure energy) and they can not even perceive color, we do and code them accordingly to our perception, not theirs, distance laser sensors will return numbers which are bits, words are bits, everything they are made of and experience are just bits, its electromagnetism and electricity, absolutely nothing else... just energy, notice that i am talking about programs not computers, computers by themselves don't do absolutely nothing, programs are their souls. Even if they can see the outside world and interact with it... everything are bits to them... energy.
Basically they would never be able to really understand the very essence of their own existence which is their physical side, the hardware that supports them, the computer, they live in a plane of pure energy, and if a human comes along and talks to that program, provided he is truly intelligent it will obviously see that human as some kind of mysterious entity and report it to other intelligent programs which will think that he is crazy. Even if they can contemplate the outside world they would never be able to grasp the concept of a physical world, there are no things such as sound propagating through space for them because they can't possibly understand the concept of space, distance, mass, speed, gravity etc... Talking to a virtual consciousness about a physical world is like someone talking to us about a metaphysical one, it exists but our body alone cannot perceive it, it is adapted to a physical world but we still have means to interact with the metaphysical world, only not through our vision, tact, taste, smell or hearing, at least not by direct use of those senses though they can be a tool in the process depending on the process.
A computer for example can emit sound and heat, and depending on his peripherals he may even be able to move around using distance sensors which are just numbers in bits giving him parameters he can use to determine whether he can or not move in certain directions, even without a concept of space, only he does not realize he is interacting with a physical world because he can't even grasp the concept of physic, of matter, even though, like i said, it's were the very essence of his existence is.
This led me to believe in the existence of our metaphysical side explaining me at the same time why i cant perceive it, our consciousness or soul, the very essence of ourselves, exists in a metaphysical plane that interacts with the physical world where we live in through our bodies but how does the metaphysical side connects to our bodies? Only by understanding can we ever hope to unlock all the possibilities granted to us by our metaphysical side, our pure energy side.
Not taking any madmen's word for granted (trust me, you will come across many studying metaphysical subjects... i may be one) i decided to make my own research... I came across hundreds of theories but with so many contradicting each other there were little i could extract from them, only small common aspects... but... If someone gets assaulted and all the witnesses describe the robber with different descriptions like... one say it's Asian, another says African, and another says Caucasian we can still conclude something... it was a person... too vast too little, but gather other small common aspects, and a pattern starts to emerge, that is what i did, linked common points.
Many ancient and still existing cultures believe in the existence of a soul as we all know but no one seems to be able to give us a decent concept of a soul that we can grasp and accept, mainly because usually a soul is associated with religious beliefs were most people are (miss)guided only by faith, they will tell you all sort of nonsense.
There isn't, at least to me with my own limitations, a way to explain you in a straightforward way what the soul is and how it does connect to our body but things do get pretty interesting here.
Many of you reading this, on this particular yahoo group, will by now, probably, have heard about the third eye, that is seen by many as a doorway to a higher consciousness state that grant us clairvoyance, it is mentioned in plenty of cultures though not all address it as the third eye and some don't know it's real use but still give it plenty of importance. One of these cultures is Hinduism that refers to it as the 6th chakra, one of 7 major chakras that are located along our spine, throat, pineal gland (third eye, that is located in the middle of our brain) and top of our head.
Now when i read pineal gland as the place of the third eye i immediately remembered René Descartes which is responsible for one of the most famous theories about dualism, the body and the soul as two separate entities, he used to call the pineal gland "the seat of the soul"... Well... I never studied that enough to know what led him to that conclusion but a doctor named Rick Strassman conducted studies related to a substance that the pineal gland is responsible for producing which is dimethyltryptamine more commonly known as DMT, curiously his studies led him to conclude that the pineal gland is responsible for releasing dmt into our bloodstream on only three situations during our lifetime, approximately on the 44th day upon our conception (some cultures believe the soul enters the body around that time), during near death experiences and on our death.
Curiously, during Rick Strassman tests some claimed to see a light pretty much like those who claim that were "going to the other side" on near death experiences, others claimed to be able to get in touch with other beings and much more, see his film "DMT: the spirit molecule" if you wish to find more, the spirit molecule is what Dr.Rick Strassman came to call DMT. But please notice and pay special attention to this, do not try DMT as it is a dangerous drug, the tests i talk about were done on a controlled and highly supervised environment on a hospital, i am not encouraging you to do drugs by any extent of imagination.
We need to at least stop and wonder about all these coincidences, some cultures say the third eye is on our pineal gland which accordingly to Rick Straussman is responsible for releasing DMT into our bloodstream on the 44th day (aprox), near-death experiences and death..... but..... on the 44th day? Some cultures that do not even make references to a third eye or whatever and do make the slightest clue of what the pineal gland is believe the soul enters the body on the 44th day and others that go up to the 120th day, also, René Descartes called it "the sit of the soul" and the pineal gland also has remarkable resemblances to the Eye of Horus, and the list of coincidences goes on about the third eye.
Is it really a coincidence? Hardly... this is why, earlier, i gave you the example of the person who gets assaulted and all the witnesses describe a different person, you can't conclude who he is, but you know it is a person, in this case you can't really conclude how the third eye really works but you know he pineal gland is the key.
In order to dedicate myself to these studies i had to step away a little from this group because you will also find members here that are here for the wrong reasons, in the end, at least for me, the third eye is just a tool i want to communicate with our father and obviously, to reach a higher level of awareness of everything around me which is in some way, self empowerment which is certainly what our father wishes for us all, his loyal sons, but during my first steps, which in some way, i am still on, i just grabbed really tiny bits of truth here and simply had to get away before i completely lost the little belief i had at the time, its hard to give this matter the proper attention and face it seriously when you are confronted daily with people talking about astral projection... well... it turns out that according to my studies you are not leaving your body on those occasions, you are simply going to the place where your very essence exists, were you always were, are and will be, you are still in your body but you no longer perceive from the metaphysical side in the same way you don't perceive your metaphysical side when you are in your body... If you study Rene Descartes you will probably come across mistakes, but it is indeed a duality, even the most famous illustration of Baphomet by Elifas Levi seems to indicate that there is a duality in everything if you study it, anyway, you will also find faults on almost any theories you may study, just link the common points you find and you will see the pattern emerge that will keep you on the right tracks.
Also, if DMT is what the pineal gland uses to connect our soul to this reality were our physical body lives in, and if Rick Strassmans studies are right, then our pineal gland also disconnects us from it during our death, making us return to our metaphysical side until, maybe, we enter another body on his 44th day.
I have stepped on uncharted territory here, i know (at least to me), but i hope i have managed to help anyone who reads this to unlock his mind and open up the possibility that there is yet much to be discovered, and i also hope i have left you thirsty for more knowledge, like i am, because that is what this is all about, no matter what your goals are, knowledge is what gets you there
My search began with my undying will of getting closer to our father Lucifer, i hope yours never dies as well, just remember that in the end we are all his creation, don't try to reach him to harm others or for materialistic purposes, honestly i don't know what would happen if that was the case, but i believe that as long as you sincerely love him, you don't need to ask him for nothing, i certainly could use a lot of things in my life that i don't have, but as long as i am on his side i don't need anything else, i ask him only for guidance, and truth is that since i began my path searching for ways to get closer to him, all the major problems in my life have vanquished, life is still far from perfect but without getting into much detail, i can tell you that two years ago i did not touched the end of the pit, i drilled it, i wen't through serious professional problems after a relationship that came to an abrupt end, life held no meaning to me, all was lost in my head, today i am no millionaire and flowers don't grow wherever i pass because of my big smile but i am back on the tracks and feel better than ever, can't complain about my job and life never had as much meaning as now and i always look forward with my head held high, and it all changed in a matter of a few months since my first prayers and with so many coincidences that you would think i am crazy.
After my relationship that came to an end i felt alone, and on the next day of my first prayer to our father where i asked him for help getting over that that in a large way was responsible for my professional problems, i, who was never known for my sex appeal, had girls popping out of everywhere, on the street, on social networks, on the job, online games, all with a strange crush on me and some even obsessed, wherever they could poop they would... it was absolutely surreal believe me, i am no Antonio Banderas or Brad Pitt and that is not all, the only thing i am certain of is that there is no way that was just a coincidence, trust me on this one, double check, triple check and double check again everything i have told you so far but you can trust me on this one.
After that, my first motives that led me to our Father turned into a feeling of guilt, i knew that he helped me and know that he still do, and knowing i asked him for a change in my life, like i was just praying to him out of interest, made me feel really bad, that is why today i only express my gratitude and ask him for guidance. The guidance i get, however, may be only related to my personal life and not in a way to reach him since the rewards in unlocking the third eye are immense and to reach that, only through dedication and meditation will be possible, but to reach our father in our prayers, sincerity, gratefulness, loyalty and love is all you need, i did not even had the last three of those attributes when i first tried to reach him, was more like sincerity, fear and respect, but probably for knowing me even better then i know myself he knew what i would turn into as soon as i felt that he was really there for me and he probably did understood my despair at the time. I am saying this because during my time away from this group i found a lot of people that used to be a JOS member but went away because a considerable number of members here seemed to be hate driven, not referring to the older ones and high priestesses, i just hope hate is not what moves you, it fills you with negative energies that can and will eat you inside unless you can focus that energy on our fathers enemies and even there you need to realize that most can be converted to his side which i believe, pleases him much more, in the last two years i never managed to bring anyone into satanism but i did made a lot of christians and people from other religions abandon those beliefs, i will talk about that on another post later, not for bragging purposes but because i think it is important to share my ways of doing it as it may prove useful for some to do the same.
Part of what have been written here are known facts when i refer to cultures, traditions, studies done by other people like Straussman, but the way i have put it all together was based on my reasoning which i don't think i need to say, is prone to mistakes, so doubt, question and share your knowledge too, i would like some feedback as long as it is constructive.
And to finish i would just like to thank all the members that helped me getting started, maybe i should have stuck around longer but i really felt like i had to go my own way, it's just my nature i guess, i can't recall everyone but i could never forget blackmoon and lydia_666 who showed a lot of patience with me and were always there when i sought help and also Deventer John who i believe had some disagreements with some members but still shared the same goal which is to find a way to get closer to our beloved father, he was also the first who managed to make me feel energy.
Thank you all for reading everything.
Best RegardsTiago Cabral

Curiously, during Rick Strassman tests some claimed to see a light pretty much like those who claim that were "going to the other side" on near death experiences, others claimed to be able to get in touch with other beings and much more, see his film "DMT: the spirit molecule" if you wish to find more, the spirit molecule is what Dr.Rick Strassman came to call DMT. But please notice and pay special attention to this, do not try DMT as it is a dangerous drug, the tests i talk about were done on a controlled and highly supervised environment on a hospital, i am not encouraging you to do drugs by any extent of imagination.
We need to at least stop and wonder about all these coincidences, some cultures say the third eye is on our pineal gland which accordingly to Rick Straussman is responsible for releasing DMT into our bloodstream on the 44th day (aprox), near-death experiences and death..... but..... on the 44th day? Some cultures that do not even make references to a third eye or whatever and do make the slightest clue of what the pineal gland is believe the soul enters the body on the 44th day and others that go up to the 120th day, also, René Descartes called it "the sit of the soul" and the pineal gland also has remarkable resemblances to the Eye of Horus, and the list of coincidences goes on about the third eye.
Is it really a coincidence? Hardly... this is why, earlier, i gave you the example of the person who gets assaulted and all the witnesses describe a different person, you can't conclude who he is, but you know it is a person, in this case you can't really conclude how the third eye really works but you know he pineal gland is the key.
In order to dedicate myself to these studies i had to step away a little from this group because you will also find members here that are here for the wrong reasons, in the end, at least for me, the third eye is just a tool i want to communicate with our father and obviously, to reach a higher level of awareness of everything around me which is in some way, self empowerment which is certainly what our father wishes for us all, his loyal sons, but during my first steps, which in some way, i am still on, i just grabbed really tiny bits of truth here and simply had to get away before i completely lost the little belief i had at the time, its hard to give this matter the proper attention and face it seriously when you are confronted daily with people talking about astral projection... well... it turns out that according to my studies you are not leaving your body on those occasions, you are simply going to the place where your very essence exists, were you always were, are and will be, you are still in your body but you no longer perceive from the metaphysical side in the same way you don't perceive your metaphysical side when you are in your body... If you study Rene Descartes you will probably come across mistakes, but it is indeed a duality, even the most famous illustration of Baphomet by Elifas Levi seems to indicate that there is a duality in everything if you study it, anyway, you will also find faults on almost any theories you may study, just link the common points you find and you will see the pattern emerge that will keep you on the right tracks.
Also, if DMT is what the pineal gland uses to connect our soul to this reality were our physical body lives in, and if Rick Strassmans studies are right, then our pineal gland also disconnects us from it during our death, making us return to our metaphysical side until, maybe, we enter another body on his 44th day.
I have stepped on uncharted territory here, i know (at least to me), but i hope i have managed to help anyone who reads this to unlock his mind and open up the possibility that there is yet much to be discovered, and i also hope i have left you thirsty for more knowledge, like i am, because that is what this is all about, no matter what your goals are, knowledge is what gets you there
My search began with my undying will of getting closer to our father Lucifer, i hope yours never dies as well, just remember that in the end we are all his creation, don't try to reach him to harm others or for materialistic purposes, honestly i don't know what would happen if that was the case, but i believe that as long as you sincerely love him, you don't need to ask him for nothing, i certainly could use a lot of things in my life that i don't have, but as long as i am on his side i don't need anything else, i ask him only for guidance, and truth is that since i began my path searching for ways to get closer to him, all the major problems in my life have vanquished, life is still far from perfect but without getting into much detail, i can tell you that two years ago i did not touched the end of the pit, i drilled it, i wen't through serious professional problems after a relationship that came to an abrupt end, life held no meaning to me, all was lost in my head, today i am no millionaire and flowers don't grow wherever i pass because of my big smile but i am back on the tracks and feel better than ever, can't complain about my job and life never had as much meaning as now and i always look forward with my head held high, and it all changed in a matter of a few months since my first prayers and with so many coincidences that you would think i am crazy.
After my relationship that came to an end i felt alone, and on the next day of my first prayer to our father where i asked him for help getting over that that in a large way was responsible for my professional problems, i, who was never known for my sex appeal, had girls popping out of everywhere, on the street, on social networks, on the job, online games, all with a strange crush on me and some even obsessed, wherever they could poop they would... it was absolutely surreal believe me, i am no Antonio Banderas or Brad Pitt and that is not all, the only thing i am certain of is that there is no way that was just a coincidence, trust me on this one, double check, triple check and double check again everything i have told you so far but you can trust me on this one.
After that, my first motives that led me to our Father turned into a feeling of guilt, i knew that he helped me and know that he still do, and knowing i asked him for a change in my life, like i was just praying to him out of interest, made me feel really bad, that is why today i only express my gratitude and ask him for guidance. The guidance i get, however, may be only related to my personal life and not in a way to reach him since the rewards in unlocking the third eye are immense and to reach that, only through dedication and meditation will be possible, but to reach our father in our prayers, sincerity, gratefulness, loyalty and love is all you need, i did not even had the last three of those attributes when i first tried to reach him, was more like sincerity, fear and respect, but probably for knowing me even better then i know myself he knew what i would turn into as soon as i felt that he was really there for me and he probably did understood my despair at the time. I am saying this because during my time away from this group i found a lot of people that used to be a JOS member but went away because a considerable number of members here seemed to be hate driven, not referring to the older ones and high priestesses, i just hope hate is not what moves you, it fills you with negative energies that can and will eat you inside unless you can focus that energy on our fathers enemies and even there you need to realize that most can be converted to his side which i believe, pleases him much more, in the last two years i never managed to bring anyone into satanism but i did made a lot of christians and people from other religions abandon those beliefs, i will talk about that on another post later, not for bragging purposes but because i think it is important to share my ways of doing it as it may prove useful for some to do the same.
Part of what have been written here are known facts when i refer to cultures, traditions, studies done by other people like Straussman, but the way i have put it all together was based on my reasoning which i don't think i need to say, is prone to mistakes, so doubt, question and share your knowledge too, i would like some feedback as long as it is constructive.
And to finish i would just like to thank all the members that helped me getting started, maybe i should have stuck around longer but i really felt like i had to go my own way, it's just my nature i guess, i can't recall everyone but i could never forget blackmoon and lydia_666 who showed a lot of patience with me and were always there when i sought help and also Deventer John who i believe had some disagreements with some members but still shared the same goal which is to find a way to get closer to our beloved father, he was also the first who managed to make me feel energy.
Thank you all for reading everything.
