If silence being golden is a strong adage in Satanism, to have patience would be one of importance also.
In Spiritual Satanism it's a good idea to have patience. We have availability to receive answers that other people will never receive. The same goes for help, spiritual practice fruits, and other beautiful things.
Satan and the Gods do have answers, and they are also willing to share them. This is very difficult in this world. Just think how many people either don't have any answers, or in rare cases, they withhold. Billionaires definitely know how you can become a billionaire, but they are not telling other people how.
It's been many years since I asked some questions and in many of them I am only 20% through, in others less progress, still. Others have been answered. This is the case for everyone, we all experience that. This anticipation is like watching a nice cake bake in the oven. You just don't want to wait, but when you wait, this also has a value in it - somehow, the cake always seems just right in the end. But it's not exactly a piece of cake to get every question and every answer.
Other questions of course have been answered, so I was sufficiently able to answer myself these later to others. But how? By dragging myself up to a cliff so that I would see these, and actively seeking them out. It certainly isn't pleasant at every rate to go up a cliff to do that, and most people do not understand the pain beneath one's feet and back.
All that people tend to see is someone sitting upon a cliff. The same thing is done towards the Gods by many people. It's assumed that since they are on the cliff, it's on them if they don't lift you like a cat lift it's kitties and drags them on the cliff. But this isn't really exactly how this goes. We all were children at some point and we remember, when we told a parent we would like to grow up, or wanted to grow up, it didn't just happen. And nobody could make it happen but time.
What I am trying to tell you here, toil, work, and patience, are important virtues. If one is going to get their answer, that is the only thing that matters, for when the answer is given, all the wait is rendered useless. If one's answer matters, one has to work for it.
These questions can be many, and individual. One wants to know a cure for a horrendous disease, a doctor. Another person wants to know an answer about wealth. We all want different answers.
There are people who have everything in this world but they don't have one thing: Answers. All the money of the world, all the wealth, and all the kingdoms, may not be able to buy a person answers. A lot of things that torture other people, are known to Satanists just by reading the Joy of Satan. That's really a great thing, and spiritually uplifting. But we are humans and impatience is one of the virtues that requires management by all of us.
This is not different than a first grader going to a university teacher and asking, teacher, how can I heal all disease in the world? Obviously the teacher cannot do anything but give the child a curriculum. Which of course all children really dislike. So the method of teaching is important here. If the same child was 20 or 30 years more advanced, the teacher who knew the question would be answering on a whole other level. As we can see here, the student [and we as Satanists] also have to do our part in helping one another and moving fast ourselves.
Now with the Gods the gaps are big and great. I wouldn't say unfathomable, but yes, great. It's better we are told the Truth here rather than we feel comfortable in ignorance like the enemy is. But collectively, we are helping each other, to advance through the classes faster. Still, everyone has to do their own end of the self-teaching. The school of creation also has no end to it.
If you ask the Gods how you are to compose a symphony, be ready. The end idea may be to compose a great symphony, but what you may find on your face, may be that you are given the violin, a note, a how to book, and then confronted with the reality of having to play.
The difference between Satan and the enemy is that all the enemy will give you is vanity, fake dreams, and you will never reach your goals. Satan on the other hand boost and builds people to something. Where there is sufficient grounds for it, also leaps can commence. Before you can leap, you first have to walk, and be good at doing little jumps, though. As anyone who has done striving towards serious knowledge knows, advancement opens pathways - knowledge will come to you.
Know beyond any doubt the Gods do care and they want to help us, answer us, and give us also the abilities to find our own answers. This is why they handed out the spiritual knowledge. Our end of this is to apply, have patience, and advance joyfully in this idea.
Drink some ice tea, lemonade, or something, have a sigh moment, and think to yourself, ah, I am glad to be with the Gods. Like with this deep breath that brings all the grief out at least for a moment. If you don't want ice tea it can be something else.
If silence is Gold in Satanism, patience is definitely a way to smith it out of the earth during your journey.
