Left Hand Path

  • Michael W. Ford mentions isolate consciousness and opposite acting in his literature. In the LHP traditions we view ourselves as separate from the regular run of the mill society. We blend in and fit in many avenues to some extent. Your standard workers and educational people can very well without knowledge of those around them, be practitioners of the left hand path. But there comes a divergence between faiths that is very evidently obvious from the white light religions. We pride ourselves in our excellence and our successes and ratify our failures to be as less as possible. For me there was a time when I was oblivious to this principle and suffered the consequences greatly. Sometimes I don't feel very godlike at all. But we all learn at our own pace. When you compare yourself to your former activity and your improvements rather than other people, i find things go much better. It's a matter of motivation really. What motivates you to achieve greatness? With me godhood is very appealing. The practical aspect of achieving assured eternal life from a left hand path perspective is very appealing to me. In the LHP grovelling towards some type of savior is not an option, petitioning some divinity and hoping we'll all get resurrected is a heavy risk on some shaky grounds of debatable philosophy. Nobody has come back to tell us from being with their resurrected savior what hanging out with him is like. Recently I've had family members who have passed on, and the common typical statement is that they hope to be with their savior in heaven. Even with the threat of hell looming overhead as a satanist, I cannot fathom looking at the afterlife in such a way. I see eternal progression independent from a central cosmology. Either believing in Satan or Christ. It's not a matter of having faith in Satan as a leading persona. He gave us knowledge of good and evil and we became perceptually aware because of his actions. We are independently capable of thinking and emotions. Christmas time is filled with admiration for this person who is obviously based on the common era and the turn there of and principles in scriptures point to ancient society and doctrines passed down throughout the ages in different ways. As satanists we see the sol Invictus of ancient Rome as the protagonist feature of the holidays, carrying on traditions that blended into Rome from all over. A family member actually was talking to a nephew about their scriptures and the "gospel" of what they believed all the way up to modern times. It is so common place in modern American society. So ingrained in our patterns of thinking about eternal life and heaven and hell about things that we don't even give a second thought. I found myself not willing to cause holiday contentions over faith differences to even diminish the mood. The point is look what the Christian cosmology and political theocracy has achieved throughout the ages to the mind of the common man, and would it be better to have a satanist epoch of common beliefs? I actually don't think that practically changing the manger scene and story of Christs birth to the birth of Satan and reversing it would actually really be of benefit. I actually like the ideas of initiate schools of thinking instead. I think things work better that way overall. A mark of achievement in initiation is when someone is willing to accept the major cosmological factors out of their control as such, and focus entirely on their school of thought… when we do this it keeps us separate from becoming the herd ourselves. These were just some thoughts yesterday over the Christmas holidays.

    Gail Dobson Satan is an invention of the break-away Jewish sect that became known as "Christians". The story of Job had a "tempter" figure, not a named embodiment of evil. Rationality and critical thinking should be taught in schools. It is a life...  more

    peter Chamberland You are correct in many ways... Yes. Satan was used as a Slander. The Latinized word Devil was used derrogitorially and people used Satanism largely as a Slander when they wanted to tear someone down. But there is an original creator god that I believe in...  more
