The Abyss is that place upon which all who
delve
into LHP paths
will at some point find themselves.
It is the solitude of personal evolution that
brings this about and is infact a most necessary occurence in order to progress.
Though you may find yourself completely alone
while in this abyss,
know
ye well that this solitude will lead you to greater glory than you may ever have imagined possible.
What is a Satanist?
This is my personal opinion,
as that is all I can possibly
give you.
Although in the end the only opinion
that will count
is infact your own.
A Satanist is
merely one who understands his/her
own weaknesses and strengths.
One who realises that humans shall always
make choices based on their own personal code of ethics and morals even if they coincide with the mindset of others or are
completely distinctive in nature.
Satanists are beings who
can stand firmly
behind their convictions
without the need
for aggressive action
when it is not called for.
One who will however not hestitate
to employ such
if and when necessary.
Satanists are those who can look truthfully
at their own image and understand what lies beneath without guilt or need for absolution.
Satanists are those who have families, careers, likes and dislikes and basically
exist as
any other individual of the community,
hey
they even pay taxes!
It may be acceptable to a Satanist to do nothing
at all if that is so desired,
but for the most part stagnation is usually
uncondusive to our ever searching,
ever evolving being.
Satanists live and
die,
as all things in the universe naturally run their course.
Although some of us do adhere to the notion
of an afterlife,
it is the here and now that concerns us.
A
Satanist needs no other being to support
or uphold his/her own personal values,
even if that should turn out to be the case,
and it often does.
However,
the absence of such is but further relevant
to the integrity of the true Satanic persona who comprehends to do as thou wilt to be simply,
conscious choice.
Our division from others is reflected
by lack of need,
but never desire.
We recognize and indulge in our desires but
let those be of our choosing and in plain truth,
they always shall be.
Satanists profoundly understand their
nature
and celebrate each aspect of our being
for what it is.
All true Satanists require
nothing of others in order to validate their ideals as such, other than their right to freedom of religion,
or philosophy or what ever term or non-term
one chooses to employ.
Satanism is freedom.
Freedom from the all too evident
Herd Conformity
in it's most detrimental state which deprives
each individual of the essence of their true and distinctive inner being.
As such,
Satanism
needs no group nor organization
to reinforce any format of dictated thought
to serve as a guide
or
measurement of personal evolution.
That is the exclusive right
of each individual claiming to be Satanic
in nature.
"Every Man and Every Woman is a Star."
The P.L.H.P. wholly supports their
members
and encourages their unique individuality
to always be the first
and foremost matter
of personal concern.
Such is the case no matter what the
consequences of said actions may provoke
in those who seemingly appear to be Satanic
but alas,
cannot be
so,
as they apply judgement far too easily
based on popular opinion.
No true Satanist shall do such and ever survive the solitude of The Abyss,
that place of perfection in Self,
which is what we strive for,
let
alone cross it.
Embrace the individual of your
being.
It is yours alone,
as alone it shall be.
Walk to the tune of your own drummer.
Listen to the voice within as it is the only truth relevant
to your personal journey.
Where you go and how you get there are choices made by you
alone.
This is your life,
and so live it as you wish,
for in the end that is precisely what you will do
anyway.
That is Satanism.
