Begin Again

[dorothea_evermore]

I believe that important things… it's not about whether they still exist in the future. Just like we have no reason to worry about when a flower will wither while it's blooming, what matters is the present moment. Because we spend our whole lives to reminisce about those moments. The moments that we don't know when they will disappear. I don't know since when I started to worry, fear that I will miss those things. Isn't it good to stay like that? Instead of worrying if it's still in this world, I would be grateful for this moment. Yet somehow sometimes I get so scared. Sometimes it's hard to stay awake in the present. Time is an illusion and sometimes it's like I am letting it pass by without paying attention. I am slowly learning how to stay in the present. In the stillness of present moment, we find our true selves. No need for the noise of past regrets or future worries.
Would you like to give advice on enjoying the stillness of the present moment?
Hope you are all doing great. I lost my previous account but I wasn't really active in it. I would love to meet fellow like minded people and learn about Satanism and Life as much as I can. This place feels so safe and like a family to me so I will be in your care from now on. I am little slow in getting things and i ask a lot of questions so i hope you all bear with me. I would love to become friends with you all. I adore you all

For me always helped focusing on lightest sounds when I was listening to music for example, also focusing on details in overall being it somehow helps me to rise above toughts, and see how beautiful is existence. Being more in nature or atleast where is some trees and grass, at evening especially when everything is done and walking by places like that, sun sets.., emotion that I did everything I could today is helping to let go everything and just enjoy evening making it so sweet.

Breathing exercises, yoga especially, meditations, all things what we do as Satanists essentially brings for us clarity and quality in enjoying life. So mainly advancement, communicating with Gods, fighting spiritual war. Living life as SS is what giving us more joy actually than just enjoying present moment, every moment is joy because of Father Satan. He is best of the best.
Hail Satan.

Meditation requires focusing on the present moment, even by the initial movement of getting to meditate, to focus on breathing and immersing yourself in the spiritual work that you do.

Time is necessary, and shouldn't be ignored, but accepted and used. Time being an "illusion" is a form by which your mind understands the necessity of going beyond, and anchoring yourself into the spiritual matters that preside the temporal existence. This is a need by the soul for advancement.

But all of this can be met by the two spheres, the material and the spiritual, and understanding that time is a force that you can use to create movements.

Once a flower exists, her death also exists, at the same time. There is no one without the other one, in any form. So time here is the discriminant force that is a movement and a rhythm by which these coexisting states of living and dying manifest.

The past is wholly active and passive carried within us and is accessible for us to derive meaning, purpose, actions, and fuel.

The present moment is infinite since the present is a reflection of one's conscious self, and also a reflection of the state of the Universe. Every moment was, is, and will be a present moment.

The future is the fulfilled desire and the projected forces that you create now, "movements". Actions, inactions, karma, imprints that are mental, emotional, of fate, of communities and relationships, everything. The future is also the meaning of the present time, by understanding the future tense of the present affairs, you create meaning and actualize the present movements.

Missing things in life is a given for everybody, that's why life, beings, nature, and everything has value and matters, being that they are actually in "matter" form. This gives purpose, gives beauty, and importance.

We are fragile beings, a flower is fragile, but this is natural and upon the laws of this existence.

I also like to look upon things in this way and see the fleeting moment we are here and how everything comes and goes. I believe that this is in itself a call to understanding and overcoming the veil of these, as behind, sense and direction exist and there is meaning for everything.
