Everyone knows free thought is the ability to think for one's self, but how many people actually apply this? Only when you can completely free your mind, will you be able to come into your own and know yourself. How to think, what to think, what to believe, what our likes, our dislikes, our concepts of right, wrong, good and evil are, are constantly being programmed by the media, peer pressure and those in power. Those in power can refer to the government, parents, family, educational institutions and textbooks, the system, the medical association and so forth. Many live their lives by the values of others and as a result, they never come to know themselves. People are TOLD what to think and believe.

The television is a good example. Canned laughter implies something is supposed to be funny and it's OK to laugh. Background music lets the viewer know when he/she should get scared or anticipate something. Emotional scenes lead some people to tears. Life is much like this. One is supposed to obtain some form of approval for any and every thought and/or action.

Take a look at the christian church. Everyone is repeatedly told this -nefarious enemy of humanity- is something "good." In spite of the continuous and blatantly obvious signs to the contrary, most people actually believe this to be true. The xian bible is called the "good book."
This "good book" is full of mass murder, slaughter, torture, gang rape, prostitution, cannibalism, infanticide, mutilation, blood sacrifice, curses, feces, hatred, and every ugly thing know to humanity. It has incited war, slavery, bloodshed and destroyed the lives and mental health of billions.

When we come to Satan, he opens the door to our spiritual cages and gives us a hand in getting out. The rest is up to us. He is always there for guidance and support, but above all, he wants us to be free. Satan, who is the True God, is the liberator of humanity.

Ask yourself; what do I think? How do I feel? NOT how *SHOULD* I think, or what would someone else think, or what does everyone else think. We are all individuals. We all have different preferences and tastes. Just because someone else likes or dislikes something, that doesn't mean you as an individual should feel the same way. Whenever presented with a dilemma or something new, ask yourself the above questions. Satanism is free thought in the extreme, yet, so few are able to actually think for themselves.

Now, of course, those in power are dead against free thought. Sheep are easily controlled. Personality tests are given to determine those who are a threat (think for themselves and don't conform). Though unaware, how we should think is drummed into our heads from the time we are born. Very few people really know themselves, in spite of living with themselves 24/7. This is really sad.

It's not all that hard. Just remember to always and frequently ask yourself to start out with; do I think this is right or wrong for me? How do *I* feel about this? What is *my* opinion? There are no right or wrong answers here. Just get to know yourself. This may take time, but in the end, you will experience the bliss of being free.

Start completely deprogramming your mind today. All of us are programmed to greater or lesser degrees and most are not even aware of it.

I do NOT strongly advise you to become a spiritual satanist. As you are on this forum, you already believe in what mediocre people call "supernatural", that means you are half awake.

Well....I can see you at least act as 17....I too was very self secure and gave BIG statement in that Age.....ohhh how much you hopefully will learn.

I wanted to remove this post as crap....because it is in a way an attack on peoples belief, but it is so overdone that it almost become comic...so I let it stand.

Yes..."WE HUMANS" are ble to kill for pleasure, to rape for own pleasure, to steal for own gain, to lie in order to gain something for our-self, in short we are able to all the worst thing you can imagine....BUT this is not from any GOD or is not SAVED from any Devil.

In humans there are part of God and Part of Devil...it is just like there must be something good in order to be something bad.....if one of them is taken away, then you can never "picture" the other.

If you haven't cried...then you can't achieve real happiness....because if you go around "happy all the time" then that will be a common feeling, and you would not know the difference at all.

So NO....it is not any help to leave one for the other.....but it is a GREAT help if one start to work with oneself in order for making a better life for those around oneself.

If we had success in this, then your neighbors would give you as much pleasure as you gave yours, no one would struggle for personal gain...we would share...we would take care of each other.....and do you know what.....I HAVEN*T SAID YOU MUST BELIEVE IN A GOD IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE IT:::NEITHER THE DEVIL:::::ONLY YOU SELF .......so maybe we are the most important part of any happiness

Believing in yourself... yes, I' ve started to do this, and this is actually a copy/paste with small modifications. I only use the  meditations right now, but yes, I believe in the existence of my god. As I said, I do not wish to offend people's beliefs, and as long as they benefit from them and not suffer, they should not change it for anything. That "Satan" I believe in may not even exist, as I picture him as a member of a superior race who wants to help the humans. He exists for me and boosts my morale when I'm in a bad mood. ALSO, I may say that you should believe in yourself first, before anything else - that is the only path to enlightment. This religion has helped me improve my inner self. I might add that on a Chaos Theory level, this is the only way I found out about this forum where there's so much to share and learn. I promise my next posts won't be offending, and only helpful. I would also like to share the truth about my sistem of beliefs, because so many people think it is wrong.

I have to apologise if I offended other people's beliefs, but they also should be aware of what MAY BE wrong out there.

I do not wish to insult other peoples' beliefs, nor do I wish to go out of my way not to. I do believe in thought-provoking.

I don't like Satan, because it is derived from the Hebrew "Shai'tan" which means both 'The Accuser' and 'The Liar.' It means both, because there is no universal moral code, and to accuse anyone of anything implies that what they are accused of is wrong, implying the existence of right and wrong in the first place. A lie within a lie.

When I think of Satan, I think of any individual or organization who would accuse others of wrongdoing. I think of blame, guilt, mind-control and coercion. Mostly I envision a devil writing a book to be distributed among millions, causing them to believe that the world is one of suffering because the good fell and became bad.

I like Lucifer, because it literally means "The Lightbringer." It represents, to me, Illumination, enlightenment, liberation, freedom, vitality and wisdom. I envision the sun or an angel - the very essence of radiance and glory.

To me, those two are opposites, and Satan tried to steal Lucifers mojo by writing the "Holy Book."

With that being said, I believe in them as thought-forms, not as having actual physical bodies, but being more than capable of inspiring and communing with those sentients who are already attuned to their frequencies.

So, in essence, I agree with the overall perspective of the original post, except for the names.

Oh yes, and Hail Eris!

There is two big differences in those two post.

You are defining what you believe in..and why... You know what it....and you share it....by that we can waste it...or take it to our heart.

The first poster define nothing....he don't tell us why he post it....you can't know what he mean whit it, but you can draw your own conclusion from it, which isn't necessarily what the poster had in mind.

So you agree with the poster because you fit the meaning into your own opinion....I disagree with the post because I can see a lot of people being hurt....not so much myself...because I again have another view of this then both of you.

Yes, I agree...God and Satan is not anything "firm" that we can see or take on.
They are the opposite of each other, they image the good and the bad, and we all carry them with us.

When we are saying that the holy bible is full of murder, slaughter and so on...yes it is.....but NOT from GOD....but from The Humans....that do bad deeds, and that comes from our bad side, which are the Devil.

Humans can never be God, even if some believe they are....in every Religion or sect there is done injustice in the name of the Lord....not from the wish of the Lord.....but from the action of a Human that believed he/she knew what God wants, and have the power to see it through.
We see the same thing today, many a spiritual leader use uproar to strengthen their own power, and their own view on how thing shall work....I strongly deny they have got such thoughts from God maybe more from the Devil.

Humans are weak, the stronger the spiritual (religion) belief, the weaker is the mind, because they become blinded...they become easy to lead...and is in fact dangerous...instead of God's Lambs.

So you see....in my opinion there is no need to attack the Holy book....but rather attack us as humans....you and me included....we carry two great "powers" in our SELF, hopefully we manage to stay on equilibrium, or with a sound mind go toward good (God), we have lots of proves that Humans can transform int Devils....Hitler...Pol Pot to name a few........but alone they can't manage much....its we who follow that can be blamed most!
