Although not always the case,
upon closer study it seems apparent
that those of lhp mentality have endured more than their share of hardships during
the early formative years of life.
There probably was some sort
of xian beliefs impounded into our young minds by our parents BUT we being left unsatisfied by such doctrines always
felt the need to question their validity, or even go as far as to demand proof of said validity where none actually existed.
Obviously god had let some of us down
and those who dared venture into other
paths
did so out of a personal quest for
truth and purpose.
The budding Satanist however would
still not have been inspired by any organized or mass-produced theological ideals of worship,
be they pagan or not.
Pagan as in Wiccan.
Those who claim to use only white
magick when in fact this so called safe magick is still a manipulation of circumstances and therefor the will of the
white magickian is being worked,
no matter if it is for the so called greater
good or not,
which of course they profess it to
always be.
The greater good is subjective.
Magick is magick.
Manipulation is manipulation.
This whitewash thrown over wiccan values is simply
too guilt-ridden an attitude to adopt for the LHP follower.
It is infact comparable to xian stigma of retribution
for your actions.
It is hypocritical to profess
their magick to be good magick while Satanic magick is evil.
Magick uses the will to manipulate
circumstances to a
more favourable outcome.
PERIOD.
And so,
the search for truth would have to
continue for as long as need be.
Where others found comfort,
we found illusions, trickery, lies,
and hypocrisy.
At some point the right hand mentality
of controlling humans through an outside being is then completely rejected and the path to the left
becomes the only one rational.
Down this path we come to understand
that god is a fable that never did sit compatibly at our sides, absolving us of our wicked deeds, or guiding us towards a
better life of love and abundance.
Our difficult beginnings did not mean
we had failed in god's eyes but that he had failed in ours.
It is these less than perfect conditions
themselves infact that seperate us from the pack.
It then becomes rather obvious that
if we had survived,
if we had conquered,
we had done so of our own endurance,
our own strength,
our own determination.
That which does not kill makes stronger.
How then could this god fit into
the picture?
He couldn't.
The deciphering of fact from
fiction brought about by each individuals quest for truth will then lead the Satanic individual
to arrive at but one conclusion.
god's purpose is to induce fear
of retribution to those who were guilty of nothing more than being,
hence man's attempt to control the
masses through the threat of a higher power is revealed for what it actually is.
A threat and nothing more.
Sight unseen we are expected to live
by the word of god.
But which god?
And by what name shall this god be
known?
Buddha, Krishna, Jesus of Nazareth,
Moses, The Earth Queen?
Where was the proof of such superior
beings who could strike us down if so desired or raise us up to the heavens if we could only sacrifice our natural behaviour
and remain silently non-threatening?
For us who would resist such notions
the search would go on.
In time, through questioning, experimentation,
trial and error,
and personal will,
what becomes our reality is that we
and we alone are responsible for how we process all information leading to thought and action.
That man is of carnal nature and to
deny such is simply to deny what we are and that it is illogical and downright futile to do so.
The Satanist knows any past hardships
have only added to one's own personal godliness for it is far more difficult to thrive
through concrete than rich soil.
This is not to say that we do not
ever falter or fail but that should we do so it is understood that we and, not an unseen diety used to control the population
through fear and denial,
are the only ones who can choose
to face each battle
by the sheer will of our human
spirit.
To be Satanic is to be the all.
It requires nothing more than the
understanding that mankind has always been and will always be the initiator, the creator, the inventor and the destroyer
of his own domain.
