Why are people so negative? At least they should be positive and see the purpose in a bigger picture.
It's normal that when an organization is growing, responsibilities are passed down to lower subjects.

This "Guardian" initiative resembles the reason Adolf Hitler founded The "Nazi SS" which is to protect and uphold the Pagan and "National Socialist" philosophy.

I look forward for a Greater JoS.

Hail Satan!!

In modern society and since the enemy took over, the notion of power, political or societal position and standing, has been grossly misunderstood.

The misuse is so terrible that we are at a dangerous precedent where very few psychopaths now run everything to the point they plan to put people into pods, or enslave them, or other gross absurdities. In a state of feeling wronged, we inherently blame "power" for this situation, thinking it's power that got into their head.

Power however is something like being very beautiful, or having a lot of wealth, or a lot of spiritual power, or a lot of knowledge. It is neutral and it can be put on a path to work for good purposes, or to promote decay. The latter is almost always the choice, because humanity no longer practices the opening of the consciousness.

On very high levels of consciousness, the very need to abuse human needs or engage in many absurdities, starts vanishing, as the soul starts reaching out to the supernal light and the Gods. This is why the per-requisite for advancing in any higher ministerial position in Egypt, was bound by the necessity to have meditated for a very long time.

All leaders were absolutely pushed to engage in Spiritual ascent practices to see the universe for what it was, and learn to value existence. Now, all sorts of people who have the mind of a slug, are in positions power, tormenting humanity.

People who elevate themselves in these positions are overwhelmingly corrupted, frequently evil, and due to lack of ascent practices [Meditations that open up the mind] they can become falsely negative or even dangerous to society.

Judging from certain cases like Billy Gates or Presidents etc, we can see that power has often been used in a negative manner, or even a destructive manner. That is because the whole fabric of our society, and therefore of our understanding of power, is risen to based on the higher levels of deception, corruption, and destructive forces.

In world where most power is literally totally misused to absolutely no real purpose and consciousness, it is absolutely normal to fear it, or even want to reduce it [since we know almost for a fact it will be misused, thanks to our present day world of animal consciousness].

Who are now the leaders of most Nations? Oftentimes the most deceitful, the most lying, the least capable, and for all intents, we oftentime have to experience violence or negativity from them, not the other way around.

The above creates fear in people and they tend to misperceive power or assume that certain people having power will mean negative ends by default. Even worse, we have the situation where it is assumed by a default that power will be used falsely.

Many people also might misperceive my situation or that of others. The only thing I found after a decade of working very close to the Gods, is that if one plans to be vermin that gives nothing back and so on, that is not the place for them to be.

In particular, since after this time the Gods also have expectations out of me, I have to reduce my error margin as much as possible. Additionally, certain mistakes in my position are unacceptable, but they are perfectly acceptable even to be done everyday by other people.

In other words, how responsibility reflects and quality reflects as one goes upwards, is the reverse on the side of the Gods compared to the side of the enemy where the biggest vermin gets the biggest post. Additionally, because active overseeing by the Gods, this becomes even more difficult to achieve or be able to pull anything with. There is judgement.

In our modern world since the Gods are not "present" in large scale affairs, there is nothing that stands above the head of those in power, and in their lives they live in the delusion that their freedom of action means also freedom of ramification from these actions. That is the natural consequence of finding a civilization on total lies.

The ToZ's plan is to have inside it an reverse morality and approach that is against of the world outside. If people outside abuse power to destroy, those who get in the JoS must use maximum power to be creative and positive, especially when the people are concerned.

As we can also see by reaching close to the Gods, the world the Gods recommend and help us build through consciousness is a dream-world compared to this dross that now we live in, barely above animal consciousness.

While mainstream sources tell you about lashed hebrews building pyramids, slavers that beat everyone, or whatever other nonsense [that is false and historically utterly false too], you should be able to still find the Truth if you are interested in it.

The Vizier was essentially a caretaker of the manual aspects of Egyptian civilization, and was under the Pharaoh or the right hand of the Pharaoh.

Below I will cite an example of what proper leadership looks like from the Egyptian tombs that describe the work of the Visier of the Pharaoh Tuthmose III, named Rekhira.

"I defended the husband-less widow. I established the son and heir on seat of his father. I gave bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty, meat and ointment and clothes to him that had nothing. I relieved the old man, giving him my staff, and causing the old woman to say "What a good action!", I hated inequity, and wrought it not, causing false men to be fastened head downwards". (Van de Mieroop 178 as seen in World History.org.)

As one can see, the role of power is to be mostly constructive, creative, and good. I therefore understand all concerns, challenges and want to hear all potential opinions, to address everything. We are all also judged by our works, be it from our fellow human beings, fellow SS and above all the Gods.

To top it off, lots of fictional characters are seen "rejecting" Godhood because no one "deserves" such power because power "corrupts".

Like how Batman had to give up being the God of knowledge or Superman had to give up being the God of Strength in the comics and reside at a lower level of power simply because the power was "corrupting" them.

Its somehow seen as a virtue for rejecting literal Godhood and accepting weakness instead.

I think this article is very relevant to the current climate of the forums. Everyone should go and re-read it.


I'd also like to urge everyone to post their concerns and fears so they may be addressed. So this new feature for the community can come into effect without division, or petty hatreds forming in the background. We are all on the same team, and to all of you who want to voice your thoughts, never mistake me for a pawn in your personal grudges, or that I'm here to rally up Satanists against each other, or that I will be on your side if you attempt this.

I want to encourage communication, that is all.

Perhaps it has to do more with the current world eating away at them, abusing these things for their own interest instead of others rising to that level also, and thus not be alone and thus no "corruption" would occur.
 
Those things you pointed out are relevant to the people who do not necessarily fear the concept of power, but the current power structure itself. By this I mean the ones that want to get inside or are already inside, but are afraid to change things because of repercussions. If more were spiritually open, they could see all the angles of danger more easily. It also takes a bit of guts and coordination.

I agree, and also believe this is very deeply rooted in xianity at the unconscious level. So many people refuses power without even knowing this, and choose to be dependent and lazy.
 
Honestly I felt elevated reading both this and the Guardian Announcement as never before. This Yule was special — this new ritual + this new growth. I sincerely thank High Priest Hooded Cobra 666 and Gods for affording this! Energies of this achievement and ritual are both extremely elevating and high.

I was writing a lot about hierarchy in Russian forum of how I deeply desire it and how it is emerging from the astral and Ether, i.e. from our spiritual advancement, so all this title routine is just the top of the spiritual iceberg. Look, some are so far above and so far beyond than a lot of periphery, spiritually there is a pit of the abyss between a lot of people who have absolutely similar role in this earthling human internet. It feels so wrong to me. Satanic Empire that I so dream about and so starve for, should physically represent these abysses and pits between different creatures. We should have full blossom of ranks and statuses so that everyone could find comfortable status for his sphere and state of advancement.

The more standardization = the more suffering. Those different to «the mainstream» or the «tradition» will understand. There is nothing we suffer more from than from standardization. Those advanced can“t teach. Those advancing can“t follow (which they wished to!). Those gays can“t have relations. Those traditional can“t create family. Those genial and profession-orientated hermits get forced-married while willing parents forced parted with their kids. And the list goes. Somewhere it goes to the cruelest extent of wrong «equal to everyone» medical treatment! Different patients have opposite elemental spiritual issues in body, guess what? Yehubor «atheist» medicine treats them the same! So nothing would be more sad after such a high Yule than seeing Clergy listen to infiltrators and non-meditators tearing this sacred beginning down.

I strongly feel that this first move is exactly how Godly civilizations are being pre-designed and pre-built. It is the first stone there.

Meditating people deeply need this (both those who follow, and those who lead), and no healthy spiritual advancement should be refused to SS just because 2-3 infiltrators and lower idiots.

Sorry for the ignorance, but isn't this discourse communist or christian somehow? Aren't we supposed to be unequal according to Satan?
 
Like The Phantom Stranger mentions, I think a lot of it has to do with the phrase "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" that gets thrown around. That has never made much sense to me, and seems like an attempt to scare good people away from accumulating power, in order to leave the corrupt people with less competition. I've always thought it would be more accurate to say, "power reveals who you really are."

Inequity means to be unfair or unjust, it has nothing to do with equality. Just because we all should be different, doesnt mean life should be shitty for anyone
 
I think you may have been right in a reading you did, where you stated I may be afraid of my own power and using the spiritual side of the soul to the full extent I can master at my current level. I have become gradually and painfully aware of this, and how I get really uneasy when I am not in control of something. I think this has been holding me back a lot because the spiritual is literally based on surrendering in the SS sense: letting go and falling into the deepest level of relaxation and openness.

I remember my English teacher when I was 14 mocked me about this. She walked behind me where I was sitting, while the rest of the class was silent and paying attention to her, and she pinpointed exactly how I was getting nervous about not being able to see her and what she was doing, about not being in control. She was very intuitive.

I will need to work on that, no matter how difficult it is. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions about this, even if it has little to do with what you wrote about power?

I guess it depends on what sort of "energy" or structure(s) this is manifesting through. It can be related to air, where there is a lack of earth to ground and calm the body. Air, in general, can be very anxious, but Virgo placements, in particular, can pertain to control or a sort of perfectionist desire.

This may also come as a result of your Chiron, your soul "wound", where perhaps something went drastically wrong in a past life, resulting in this sort of fear being generated in you. Similarly, plutonian concepts also have themes of extreme fears.

Fire placements, such as Leo, can give confidence that everything will be fine. Therefore, inhibited or deficient fire can create something similar to this.

-------------

Regardless of the above, if you are already aware of the issue in your head, you don't necessarily need to find it within your chart, either. It may also be the result of multiple negative aspects, as well.

With this in mind, you can create a working to resolve this. Given that this problem involves some sort of fear response, it is probably better to do a removal style working, although "additive" workings that increase overall calmness or confidence would still be fine.

Since you may want to destroy karma, but also do something to target a lack of calmness or courage, then perhaps Uruz would work well for you. I say this because it is capable of doing all these things since it can be destructive towards karma, but also has aspects of fire and earth, particularly Taurus-like earth.

Not that you cannot use other runes or energies, and maybe you should ponder this more to find a better solution, but I think it would be definitely possible to use Uruz in a sort of dual-function manner. This is somewhat evident on the JOS rune page, but perhaps more so when described here: https://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/uruz

I saw your email by the way, and will respond to that as well when I can. Good luck to you.
 
Two popular "wise sayings" that are endlessly repeated ad nauseam is what gets people to fear power.

"Power Corrupts" and "You wish to know what a man is really like? Give him power"

These two sayings made me genuinely afraid of myself as a younger kid. I was afraid to know who I really was as I fantasied often of violence against those that wronged me or that I saw as evil. There was a part of that while I fantasied what being the hero was like, I feared it just as much, that I would be something else. It took me a couple years of meditation to realize this lie.

I'm certainly not afraid of myself I know who I am now. My only fear now is not having enough power.

Thank you for your reply to this topic. I will think about what you said, and maybe add some details.

Do you think walking around blindfolded for conditioning might work? That's the only idea that came to my mind so far. Other than that, I guess uh... does your need for control have anything to do with an urge to protect yourself?
I could never do that. I would likely have a panic/anxiety attack. I can (and do) of course close my eyes when I'm meditating and doing workings, and obviously to sleep, but that is different because the brain slows down and gradually goes in trance. Walking blindfolded would mean I am still in a beta brainwave state.

This is difference for example from emergencies where I can keep my cool as I know physical things. Anyway, I don't really know how to explain it without getting too personal. So, I'll leave it at that.

I think this has indeed to do with power, as trying to control everything is an effort to exert a form on power on your environment. It may be connected to Pluto issues, but also Mars/2nd chakra.

I have been through this issue too (and I still am somehow), in different form; low self-esteem is a trigger to this, as controlling everything may be a form of shield against possible personal (unconsciously feared) failure.
I also noticed people practicing martial arts tend to develop the ability to control everything in their opponents, every single move and action, but they seem generally less worried about that in daily life. Basically channeling this ability into something higher (martial art) rather than actual society can help to sublimate one's characteristics, and also boosts self-esteem.
I am planning to channel this into a similar activity (this is personal) - cannot relate results, but only the idea.
I hope my consideration will help,

So the Gods aren't able to influence the outcome of these affairs due to the fact that modern man has not them in his consciousness? Well the JOS is the ship in the storm and we plan to dock soon enough.

Exactly. Weakness breeds instability, instability breeds insecurity, and insecurity breeds heinous acts. When one is TRULY advancing towards power, they will be changed from the inside as well and form a new character that is fitting to that power and the responsibility of having it.
 
1. It is misunderstood. Because of the way the enemy has used it throughout the centuries. Number 2. A lot of people don't even know what to do with it?. If they have it? And how to use it properly?. Number 3. And with this world the way it is? People lacking in knowledge. And that sense of knowing? Don't have any idea what it means?. Better than to corrupt the world and to act obnoxious and conceited. Instead of using it for the good works and the capabilities of a person? Depending on who this person is? Male or female gay or straight? And it doesn't matter where this person comes from or where this person lives? And their motives behind it. 🔥 Truth is people are capable of power? But they have their own way of using it and they have their own way of looking at it and often at times is used to corrupt and for the bad purposes? Basically just show off and to get attention or to get back at somebody as an act of revenge? And then they would have their excuse behind it and then the act of power is mistaken as a threat instead of something that should be used intelligently and for the better purposes. ❤️

Another reason one might fear power, especially other's power, is because it makes them feel inferior, weak, or even helpless. Many don't like facing their own level of ability to be, do or have certain things at a given time, so it can make one hate or resent those who are above them that are not restricted in the same manner. It's easy to focus on the negative side of where one is in life or advancement compared to someone else instead of anything positive, it's easier to hate people that have what we desire instead of making the effort to obtain what we want ourselves.
