As HPS Maxine has said all over the JoS [which I also followed as a novice and every other advanced member has done] the way to build a relationship with Satan and the Gods, is primarily, to do rituals to the Gods, meditate, but above all, do spiritual warfare.
It should of course be reasonable that one minds their own limits, that is a universal law. One cannot sprint all day long forever, as such, one cannot do warfare all day forever - everything has it's limits. Professional athlete and "Just joined the Gym last week" is not the same thing. It is not even the case everyone has to be professional athlete, but let's leave this as "My aim is to be fit" in this case, a universal good for all.
Yet, at the same time, the Gods take notice of people who struggle to advance and who are staying stable in the path, moving forward. Ranges matter, but intention and direction should be the same.
Oftentimes in the years and even here, I have seen people who have poor faith in Satan. Poor as in they also don't really uphold too much this relationship. An extension of this can be with one's Guardian Demon. This can come from not knowing the Gods very well, lack of experience, not having them as much in one's life, and in general, other stubborn issues that deal with one's own mind. A life in the fast track can also contribute here, where as one loses their relation with let's say a very good friend, they don't spend a little time to improve their relation with the Gods.
But if one cares about someone, they should do at least something. In contrast to many humans, Gods do appreciate the gestures and they understand them fully. While the reasons can be many, a way to skip these all is to keep an open mind, and do what a Satanist is supposed to do to overcome this.
One has to actively seek them and attempt to get in communication with them. Then, one will get undeniable signals from the Gods that they are there. Due to the lack of clarity and forgetfulness in the mind, building a relation with the Gods will take time, and probably years, but as one proceeds, more and more their guidance will be obvious and they will feel this for themselves. Eventually, one will know what is up.
Pay attention to the word signals. Because signals are a strong form of communication, more or less subtle, but if one has enhanced attention, they will be able to see these things in their life, and these will be able to warn or alert them of specific things. The external world is not empty, but is rife with symbolism. As the mind gains more clarity with meditation [and one understands themselves and the world better] this language of communication becomes clearer and clearer.
A signal would be for example, a number that you see frequently, and this number may belong to a Demon. Or the name of a Demon repeating in your mind constantly. These are signs the Demon is in some way wanting to communicate with you. For people seeking their Guardian Demon, this may happen if one is a little bit open spiritually. This can also go the other way, one is obsessed with a specific Demon themselves, and they feel a lot of attraction or love for said Demon.
Over the years I have observed that people who are not getting too far in this, fall only in two categories: Those who do not take the matter a little seriously [self explanatory] and those who are simply jews. The second category has nothing to do with it and will never get anything out of "Satanism" no matter how hard they may try. After one is very experienced [and I seriously mean this by "very"] these categories become pretty easy to see in everything, easily recognizable.
One can however willingly set up themselves for failure because they don't care as much for the holy sacrament that they have done. In other words, one has not understood, that Dedication is in a sense, a lifting to a higher level. The door has been opened. One has to walk in it and try exploring the new world.
It is important, for any relation to stand, human or with the Gods, that someone does things the other party wants, there is an exchange, give and take. You cannot only take, you must also give. As one cannot maintain deep friendships without time, and without care, such is the case with the Gods. You do something, they will do something back. As with friendships with normal humans, to bond with someone, takes time. And the Demons are not like normal human beings, they have other requirements which attract them to people. An instance of this, is that they really like people who try to advance spiritually.
Many people here obsess over communication over verbal means [hearing the Gods] but this is not as much proof [and tends to be bullshit frequently if one is not at the level to hear correctly] most of the time. There are many reasons to this, explained in other posts.
Another way to judge your relation with Satan, is not how much attention you "feel", but also, if you are advancing in the path. One's feelings may dwindle frequently here. If you look back at yourself after joining Satanism and you are better, you'll notice you are moving forward instead of backwards for your life for one day. One advances internally a lot with this path. Spiritual advancement with concrete proofs comes after time passes.
Setbacks that life sets in front of you, you may overcome easier, the better your relation with the Gods.
This is pretty clear to name one instance to people who simply dedicate and give up. They return after 10 years having not evolved at all, in anyway. No input, no output. While they have done the sacrament and opened the door, they took a left or right and never went into it. The door remains open, but that is all about one can see. Sad melodies play for these people that opened this door and did not take it.
You don't go that late to the party, or after the party is gone, and expect everyone is willing to dance with you. Doesn't make sense. Good news is that there are always parties and meetings, so you can always catch the next bus. The thing is we humans have a limited lifespan so it's better to not throw your time in the trash can, because you will be wishing in the future you were part of this 10 years earlier, after you understand what you have been missing all along.
There are also, levels to this - each successive level, as one is initiated, is cross like a passage every so often. For those who game, simply put, "Checkpoints". You cannot move back from these, but only forward. You cannot unlearn the Truth, and when you meditate and actually get it to work, you cannot forget this either. Nor you truly want to for any reason. This solidifies your progress and understanding.
These periods can be periods of empowerment, clearing, uplifting - there is a path that one follows and as one walks it, they can look back and see it. Even one's life or strange coincidences can account to this. This will not make much sense when you are new, it's when you look back that it makes more sense.
Much of this also revolves around where each respective soul is at, and what one wants to achieve, or what one is trying to do.
Except of warfare, the importance of communication with the Gods is paramount as stated above. This involves prayer, or in other words, trying to engage in telepathic communication. You do not need to hear verbal words etc, but try to "seek" them, primarily, with your heart - love here is important. Aside the emotional aspect of love, love is a bond between two beings, and this love can be expressed to Satan either in prayer, but most importantly, in deeds. Love is what bonds households, family members, friends, and brings people together to create children, the list goes.
The programs of the enemy abused and trashed this feeling, to remove this from the world entirely. The "love" of christianity is just a fictional world to indicate an abusive situation. Just four of the same letters, but all of it, different worlds apart. One may rediscover "Love" in Satanism, as they rediscover many other things. An open mind is required. The Gods care for their disciples.
In the beginning or when one has just dedicated, as stated in the JoS, it's important to spend time trying to build your relationship with Satan and the Gods. This is not about verbal communication or seeing, but there are more ways. One way is trying to get a feeling for Satan's energy, doing Standard Rituals [either physically or in your astral temple] and of course, meditation and spiritual warfare or activism.
As you advance, your intuition, and your mind, will be closer to the Gods, and naturally, you'll be receiving more effects from them. These can be very subtle, and almost invisible.
How to be taken seriously by the Gods, and therefore, build your relationship, is by doing work for Satan. There is no amount of repetition that should show that this is the best way: this is *THE* best way to build your relation with the Gods. In times of war, the Gods take seriously people who want to engage in what they too are engaged into.
Many people do not also take seriously something that deals with other Satanists. The Gods do want their followers to be in peace, or at least, not in terms of war or other problematic situations that hamper the advancement of other SS. In the guise of pointless online associations, or other things, one gains nothing to advance in Satanism.
I've seen chit chat bullshit dens for years, these advance nobody. Most people spending their time in this way, do not advance, and worse than that, can get in trouble because of idiocy of others. The way to advance in Satanism and stay advancing, is to take the Gods seriously and understand how real they are.
This takes time, as the mind of many people has to understand this.
It is also important you keep memory of when you have been helped or assisted. As stated, this can be subtle. As one understands, it may get really blatant. The less advanced spiritually one is, the more negative karmic and other energies can cause issues, but the Gods will try to guide someone progressively to advance. Depending on the hand one has been dealt, how fast they are going, and how loyal they are to the path, the effect of the help of the Gods will range in itself. The purpose of Spiritual Satanism is to increase this.
Since every being also has different ways of communicating, and understanding, the Gods may take the route applicable to each person. This also relates to one's guardian Demon. I always had a military, duty and love based relationship with the Gods. Other people may be treated differently, with a different tempo, as everyone is different and we are all individuals. But along the lines, the Gods are not wasteful. You got to be at least a bit serious to be related to in a serious manner.
For example, a blockhead that insists of doing all the bad things, may be put on ice until one decides to change their ways - most of the time happening after many warnings. Caring messages may come, and one may trash can them, and then these may stop until one resolves the pending issue.
The more of a newb one is, the more "Closely" will the Demons attempt to help one, but as the Al Jilwah says, these influences may be rather obscure, "Unseen" in this case. Some SS will remember that when they dedicated [those who have been more open naturally or from past lives] that their first years the Gods were far more "Above" them, caring for them more directly.
This happens for obvious reasons. You get in the military, some people show you around, but as you progress, they want you to do things so you can grow. They expect however people to advance during this stage. The purpose of meditation is to start opening the eyes so that one can see these signs and be progressively a partaker of Satan's Miracles.
A frequent even is when you ask questions to the Gods, but if they cannot get it through directly, they will gravitate you to a post, or prompt you to look where something has been answered, or the Clergy may answer, or you may see your question posted and answered from someone else.
This is why it's a life and death matter for our JoS to remain available for mankind, and the knowledge in it to be forever and without corruption. Because this is in a case, the blueprint of the Gods manifests in this knowledge physically. The enemy has their books, and now we do have our own. This is ready made and cut, and one can find everything by searching PHYSICALLY, instead of needing to become extremely advanced first to receive simple guidance. All of this is fast track to knowledge and understanding.
Some Satanists over the years have been close minded because in some cases the knowledge that the Gods are other beings, who may have will contrary to one's will, can be baffling. As display above in the example of a drug user, or a person who may be doing something self damning, one may be prompted to move on and get better. An event to illustrate, the Gods may want someone to stop having a damning personal habit, such as drug use. One wants to insist on the wrong path, they block them.
Eventually one may be "fine" in their "level", but when they want to get a level higher, things that weigh the soul may have to be left behind, most of the time, worthless baggage and bullshit things. Every advanced Satanists looks back and always knows they did good to listen. You can't miss the smell of living in the spiritual sewer after you learn how existence is outside of it.
This resistance can create a clash, to where one closes their mind or ignores serious warnings or blocks one's self. The Gods in this case cannot forcibly force out someone of this path, as the energy required for this is simply enormous, because some people are on the far end by their own choice. Nothing can replace personal responsibility. However, the more they, they will be insistent. This insistence can manifest in blocks, or in other signs, such as warning one of disaster in subtle manners.
In the case of good things, which the Demons most of the time motivate people to do good things for themselves and others, you will feel inspired or get the idea to do something to improve a case of your life. These you can write down, and they can be followed if you judge these have reason to follow them and want to. The Demons can also inspire from within, as they can affect the human heart and mind. Our history is as is, because the Demons inspired us to move outside from the caves and from being worms, and advance ourselves and our world.
If the above leaves something unanswered, feel free to ask.
