Dypet, thanks for sharing that about your dog!
You said:
“I told Him that if He could help me, I would take two days to study and acquire more knowledge about Him and about Satanism.”
“the vet also told them our dog would take...guess how many days to recover?”
I just wanted to point out, in case you missed it, did you notice, you say you came to know the Joy of Satan
two years later?
Theres some syncronicity for ya! Thats awesome!
I thought to clarify when I said I was blaming Him for someones premature death, I was actually still Without. I remember being out of my mind with grief and I started talking at Him. Some things like: You're the God of Gods, YOU decide who lives and who dies...yet you let her die so young...why? Whats wrong with you? Why couldn't you give her a miracle? And then He answered me! I've always talked to Him, but this time was different. This was like, the first time I got a totally direct response (ususally its synchronicities, gut feelings, songs, warm feelings, the odd telepathic word). This was different. His voice was so clear and strong, it was like He was right there in the room with me! I remember I was so startled I stopped crying!
I've always known ever since I can remember that I have a Father God who is literally REAL. A real living God, unlike the fake god in that bible. And I always directed my thoughts and talk to HIM. I'd just chat away at Him when I was younger. I never expected an answer, just felt comfort knowing He could hear me, and that was enough. I was happy. I didn't know His name, though I always wished I knew what it was. So after He'd answered me, later that day I was kicking myself going: WHY didn't you ask Him His name when you had the chance?!?
But....I finally found out His name when I found Joy of Satan.
He's said He's 500 thousand years old. I often think of this and try to wrap my mind around it. Can you imagine all that Hes seen? Experienced? What amazing storys He could tell, of our history, of our people, of battles and victorys, the wisdom He's gained, all that He's learned? OMG, I want to sit down and hear it! I find the idea, the thought really inspiring and thrilling to contemplate. Just to imagine, all that He has seen! How many planets? How many star systems? The storys He could tell! I often think of Father with amazement and awe when I consider this, and I hope someday to be able to sit and hear Him tell me some storys. And I think: It's no wonder He has such understanding and compassion. He's been there! I don't think there's really anything we could do or say that He hasn't seen before. This isn't His first time at the rodeo!
I mean, compared to a Being like that, we're children. And what do you do with children? You protect them and guide them, but also....give them the freedom to take those baby steps on their own, to learn and to grow, on their own. Real love is about knowing when to let go, as well as when to hold on.
It's like a butterfly in a cocoon. We are kind of like that, struggling to be birthed into the advanced form of our Beings, to make the transition to that higher form (a butterfly, for the sake of this analogy). And if He was to cut that thing open for us, we'd be crippled for life.
He can't do it for us. He can encourage and guide, but we have to do our own work. Thats why the Clergy always says nobody can do the work for you. We say as SS: Responsibility to the Responsible. The Gods are very responsible. Satan is very responsible. He says:
“I remember necessary affairs and execute them in due time.”
This is what it is. We do the work for ourselves, struggling to be birthed into our God forms, for ourselves. We decide for ourselves if we'll do that work to learn and grow, and the timing of it. We are all individual, we follow our own drum. We don't do it for anyone else, not even for Father. We are responsible to ourselves. But thats not to say that we're all alone, either. Our Father is here. There is no rule saying don't bother Him.
And thats a great point you bring up Magus, that: “its by the "Grace of Satan" (to borrow the term from HPS Maxine) that our Serpents rise safely, with His guidance and by His will.”
“I teach and guide those who follow my instruction. If anyone obey me and conform to my commandments, he shall have joy, delight, and comfort.”
He's there to teach and guide. How can He if you won't talk to Him? I would imagine that being risen, to become a God, would be the ultimate in joy and delight. It's the ultimate goal, I suppose. At least for us here, for now. But I believe Satan also continually learns and grows, even Him. I don't think the learning and the growing ever really stops. When you become a God, its just the start of another chapter in the book of your life. And there will be new goals to strive for. Which is what makes life so interesting and worth the living. You never know where you'll end up, where it will lead. It's a mystery, but its a wonderful and compelling road to follow.
The minutes into hours into days march on
The journey of time in each of our individual song
In younger days it was smiles and friendship at a head
But as the years go by it may be something else instead
There is work to do and a family to raise
Much of it in the front of other eyes gaze
And we keep to ourselves any hurt and pain
Whilst at home you sit in silence in your own refrain
But time can heal those old wounds and you carry on
Knowing that as in all things bad times will be gone
But you should know that as the years accumulate
That you follow to the beat of your own drum in your fate.
