Oculus666 said:I've asked plenty of questions on this forum only to get the "ask the Gods" response. While this is a valid answer, what is the benefit/purpose of this community for anyone that is able?
Whenever I try, best case scenario it's like broadcasting through a shitty radio with plenty of static. I'm too earth for that shit bro. Besides, there's also no clear way of knowing whether the person I'm speaking to actually is the intended one, and not an interceptor. No, I don't agree that being dedicated automatically fixes this problem.
Sure, sure I could spend a year straight improving my clairaudience. That would be the responsible thing to do right? Or, this community could just stop gatekeeping important information from its audience in the name of "safety". Believe me, if someone new was to try anything advanced they wouldn't just drop dead instantly, but they might wish they did lol. Raising the kundalini early would be horrible, and anyone who tries would quickly know that. I had an early surge when I was new and it felt like molten metal was rising up my spine, not a good time and not something people want to happen twice.
The reason for community is that these adages such as "Ask the Gods", require practical, tried and true capacities of the Spirit and the Soul in order to happen. It is as you say, what you say is honest and real. For most people, communication with the Gods can be difficult.
Yet, the Gods can and will actively guide and communicate with people. They guide through invisible means. It can be non-verbal, intuition, coincidences, choices. When one experiences this, they will know it comes from somewhere. One might not be ready for full fledged Astral communication, but the Gods have ways to reach every soul that seeks back to them.
Community is another way of directly reaching out to people. That's why many of the members have questions and then one might find these answered by another SS, or answered prior. It's a treasure of knowledge, through which one learns. The Joy of Satan Community itself is a manifestation of the existence of the Gods.
Those who think it's just easy, are just delusional most of the time, and either the way of ultimate doubt or extreme "faith" in one's delusion, will prove equally catastrophic.
Mainly, the idea here is that one must develop slowly and steadily while learning the corpus of Spiritual Satanism and being part of the Community, so that one is kept straight and doesn't get into either the nothing-land of not knowing what to do, or the insanity where everything from this place of static nothingness is falsely assumed to be a message from beyond.
The community has levels and layers, but the Initiation on the eyes of the Gods, requires passing of levels to receive from them, receive from your own direct experience, or even receive from the community. That requires an effort and growth that cannot be bypassed, no matter how hard one tries.
Finally, in regards to receiving messages from the Gods, there are many ways. All these ways involve insight, growth, spiritual ability, a well founded knowledge of the tenets of Spiritual Satanism, sanity health and spiritual hygiene plus power, increase in growth of mind and understanding. These things are what can allow communication of ranging levels to take place.
As one lacks of either one or many of the above areas, there can be impediments in this. As one attains the above, one is closer.
These are eternal gifts to earn here. While people can spend 10 years doing nothing but idly watching Netflix, they could likewise spend time for a soul they will have eternally. It's all up where one decides they want to devote a part of their time.
As Spiritual Satanists, we must be put some priorities and see if the things we say we want, we truly want them, and follow this by our deeds.
Lastly, Father Satan clearly indicates in the Al Jilwah that He guides via unseen means. In another paragraph of the Al Jilwah, Father Satan explains the importance of listening to His appointed ones for guide and help which includes both Demons but also the material community, which is here to protect someone from delusion and other dangers to their journey.
You might not always clearly understand what the Gods are "Trying to tell you", but you will see their hand in your life, in slow and borderline invisible guidance that leads you in your intended answers and so on. One must understand that openness needs to exist for this, but also, logic to judge. Understanding grows in time and through truthful effort and a clear heart.
