Astral & Spiritual

Satanism is not about evil, but about the balance between the good, and the bad, as society understands it. We do nother slay goats or children in blood sacrifice, we harbor and protect innocent and vital life. We are all equal in the universe, no matter plant, animal, race, color, sexual identification, religion, element, or space. We are all one.

WE AS PEOPLE

Many may disagree with me, but if you think about it, we are all insignificant. We only think higher of ourselves, or that we are the most intellectual and intelligent creatures because of our moral beliefs. Do you know all there is to know about yourself or others? Can you use the powers of your mind to move objects, read minds clearly, manifest physical objects? Can you change dirt into gold, water into wine, bring souls to uninhabited bodies, or bring it to places?
With time, work, and effort, we may be able to achieve a higher power and understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us if we choose. We are in charge of our own lives, destinies, and purpose, are we not? We create our own Path in life, and do so with independence, and education, and learning throughout the years.
Independence is one of the biggest value in Satanism as a whole, no matter atheistic, or theistic. We all as a whole value it, and cherish it, and use it to the best of our abilities to create our own world's. This is something a RHP religion does not like. they condone it as a sin, as an evil thing to have. They want their people to become depending, clueless, and mindless individuals. Without it, woman would still not have jobs & considered only housewife and/or abusive material, without it, we would be useless, always relying on another. Without it, we would not have life.
THEISTIC Satanism is about independence, not relying an another being for all your deeds, information, or magical practices all of your life. When we first start out, it is Okay to be curious, and explore with other People as a means of information and education, but take heed of false information and trickery as I call it. Many sites, books, and people donate false information, and it results in bad knowledge, and lies.
So WHAT do independent satanist act like? They draw their own beliefs and conclusions (such as not taking enemy bullshit, false information, or as not forcing others or faking for attention or profit), research a lot, keep to themselves unless another may need help on the Path (if one may carefully choose to help or not), keep a log or Blackbook perhaps of their past and magical workings in order to learn from mistakes, or even remember things. We learn from our mistakes, and grow from our pasts. We are happy and comfortable with WHAT we believe as true because we can rely on ourselves. We can bring ourselves to better places and greater understandings without having to rely on others or not think about our own problems in life.
